The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

[dragon8]



BTW, Dragon, do you know where I can get the Alumo catalog?

The person I got it from is no longer in business but I have some (Swatch samples) left but its not a big selection. I can try to take pics or drop them off to you in Oct this year. I will be in hK then.

Excluding Lai sifu, can you suggest some middle price tailor who can do canvas vest?

Sorry, no.
I don't want to recommend anyone on the internet anymore, go out to find by yourself.

I think It is better for me not to suggest any tailor on the internet too.

I have enough suit now and do not plan to make more in near future.

By fulfilling the curiosity of isolation and be fair to MR, I upload four photo of the suit here. I know that these photos were taken by my cell phone please accept the quality and my posture and outlooking is not as good as isolation so i better hide myself. As I mentioned before, I am happy with the cutting, fitting and style but not the structure. May be some experienced chings can comment again including isolation. If everyone think that remake is a better option for building up the reputation of MR then I will consider and I will pay for the extra fee for a full canvass charge. i HAVE TO state that I am not gangster for damaging and bullying on some tailor shop. If you read back all my reply.

I look for few minutes and even used the photo edit software to check, and I don't think it has real drop shoulder problem. I think the jacket cutting and style is ok, yes, it can be fine tuned, but for the first suit made from a new tailor, I think it is acceptable. However, I agreed with Car that it is the trousers really need to be remake.

Thanks for your comment on the suit and use a professional photo edit software to check it.

But this is not the first suit I made in this shop

How many suits before it?

 

[Kenny Lo]



How many suits before it? 

Haha, just one, but after one suit it is better for the tailor to know my taste

To be fair, Kenny did you give feedbacks to your tailor after wearing the first suit?

IMO, and as said by senior members fishball and car, there are no serious problems for the jacket you posted. I think the trousers however appear too long (excessive breaks at the shoes) and the crotch seems tight at the rear, thus probably resulting an awful drape / "waves" looking at your back.

Can you feel a big difference when wearing a canvass jacket / vest than to a fused one?

Hi BigRock,
A very good point.
May I add whether ppl can see the difference bewteen canvased and fused jackets. I think yes, particularly at the folding of lapel, chest appearance ...
Do ppl care? I think many ppl don't. These days a lot of superstars wear fused jackets on TV shows, films etc.
Perhaps other members would like to add.

BigRock,
You can feel and find out the feature of full canvass jacket, but I dont know how to distinguish the vest
