Of course I was joking. It just seems funny it appeared on their official Instagram.
I take my words back and apologise for the outburst (or better redirect it at pekingroad, coz obviously he too took it at face value)
Yea that's so bad it definitely wrecked their reputation. What were they thinking letting out this garbage of a garment out, let alone posting it?

Mirador / HKSAR Baotou tailors can beat famous tailors? Like Corcos? 😮

yes! it is correct. this is not a secret, many people know that.

Meh. Of course sifus are better than the tailor shops they like and are capable of taking similar-style selfies. Their basting styles are "just coincidentally similar".

I taught alot of baotou for their online things, not limited to these 3 baotou. Some are young enough to do alot more. Some can manage to take photos with large aperture. I said it sometime ago, not just #1,740, you don't need to repeat again. This is called: "HK people help HK people!" why not? you have never heard of "HK people help HK people!"?

Thankfully Peke made his right choice. He can now remain in peace for long...

The cocci suit was just... sad

Sometime ago, one baotou asked me seriously. That baotou has a family member with MBA asking me to help them more, I taught her step by step on the phone. Finally, they could do alot more.

Don't look them to old people, some can use DSLR with large aperture by themself! selfies is just a piece of cake as they practice more day by day. why not?

#1,740
I helped many baotou tailors for their web things. My blogs shows only a few baotou, because some baotou are loaded with orders from direct consumers, they don't have time to serve new customers, that's why my blogs don't show all baotou names. Most of them can take photos and post photos to their FB IG Pinterest google by their cell phones. Some of them are young enough to communicate with foreigners with Google translate, a few are taking overseas orders by whatsapp and wechat pay (FinTech). Some don't want to do much online things, they don't post new things on the web. A few make post to show their daily life to their family and friends overseas, they don't just post their end products. Unlike tailor shops, baotou have different reasons to do their online things. That's why you see they don't always post their end products online. You can't expect they have quaility photos on the web as tailor shops do.


yes, there is no doubt, Mirador / HKSAR Baotou can easily beat so-called famous tailors. with or without examples, it is already correct. this is not a secret, many people know that.

no, you are wrong!

PekingRoadHK statements:
"Mirador / HKSAR Baotou can easily beat so-called famous tailors"
"I am sure I made the right choice, I go baotou in Mirador for better products."
-> PekingRoadHK's statement does not sum up with shirtingfantasy's statement, they are 2 different persons

-> #1,754 My statement, without examples, can be subjectively correct.
Sums up 2 posts from the same person --It means without examples, "Mirador / HKSAR Baotou can easily beat so-called famous tailors" can be correct. This is not joking!

You had no more to say, you called for supports from other channels, it doesn't work. I explained Baotou as a part of global supply chain in the garment manufacturing industry. Only your friend is objecting "Globalization", everyone else understands there is no point to speak aginst baotou market.

sh!t loads of tailors/designers/corporations rely on baotou!

Global corporations of airlines, chain stores and shops, TV & movie industry, casinos, fashion designers, tailor shops, brand names are ordering custom garments and uniforms. Baotou in Mirador is one of the many channels, they survive for over 5 decades, they are a part of globalization. People from around the world said thank you to me for this lead in my blog(s), everyone sees this is a part of global economy. There is no point to argue about baotou market. As long as baotou customers are making good search, we can by-pass most of middlemen. Talking about globalization, this is the reality, only those who are blocking themself would object the reality. You don't like it, you are angry, no one cares.

Just look at your Suzhou factory case, you need someone to tell you what the problems are. No one needs to take tailor cources to tell this basic. You have been to wrong places for products that don't suit you, and you never learn from your mistakes. You should not go baotou, baotou customers need some efforts to understand what we need and the sourcing of fabrics. This is about your confusion of what you need, this is not about baotou or factories. You should go to tailor shops in your case. This is very simple, there are 2 markets, tailor shops and baotou. Baotou is not right for you. You don't know what you need, you don't know where to go, you should not go baotou or factories. Many others are baotou customers, we know what we want, and we go the right places for the right products, we know how to spend wisely.

Excuse me what?
Sorry of all the bullshit you said this is pretty crazy
You're getting too delusional mate
prove you can change the reality of "Globalization" first.

easy to spot out the situation!

Baotou is a part of "Globalization", how can you change the reality?

Baotou customers choose to place orders to baotou.
Consumers don't choose same as you, what makes you think this is nonsense?

Baotou service is widely accepted,
why do you want to object consumers from placing orders to baotou?

this thread is about baotou in HK. you don't like baotou, why are you here?

Now we see you are more suitable to go tailor shops instead of baotou. Please explain the followings after all your complains about baotou, this will lead to see the problem behind:
1) the Suzhou factory has got your body measurement, why they made that kind of shoulders to you? that explains more about the risk of remote fitting.
2) did your tailor friends in HK tell you about your shoulders? that explains HK young tailors knowledge.
3) Suzhou factory case tells about your tailor knowledge, how did you manage to teach Mirador tailors tailoring with that kind of tailor knowledge? that explains the confusion of tailor shop customers.

You can explain more details, then, we can see the confusion when tailor shop customers meet sifu. We can see what caused the confustion!

Hi potential cusromers ! If you're looking to find a baotou to make suits for you, be sure to
1. read posts starting from p.91;
2. give the right kind of feedback;
3. be ready to defend yourselves when your silhouette fails the products;
4. look at so-called mastros with scorn and scoff as disappointing protégés of baotous (who BTW outsource their "work" to workshops in China -- a case of HKers helping HKers somehow); and
5. convince yourself that someone that would engage in verbal warfare at all times and misinterpret your words is just a customer who advocates free choice for everyone

I hope you like my sales pitch Peke. I tried. 🙏🏼

Hi,

I'm Fok, and I'm the owner and administrator here. I am requesting that @PekingRoadHK and @Warrant_Buffet no longer address the other, nor talk about the other, even obliquely. Everyone else in this thread has had enough of the bickering. In this particular case, it seems to me that @PekingRoadHK instigated this exchange. I do not know nor do I care to be told about past exchanges. However, it has become apparent to me that this feud has become tiresome to everyone else, and to continue it would be impolite to the community in general.

If the feud continues, I will be forced to take action, which I would rather not have to do.

Thank you. This is the last word on the matter.

Cheers,

Fok.
