The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

[Hifilover]

Good to know that you did not have the same experience with TPR.

Your experience is quite extraordinary so I just searched the thread if anybody had such an experience. DB's reputation was/is good over all. I just saw you yourself were a very happy customer of Dream 3.5 years ago ordering quite a few stuff and recommended Dream. So your story of no fitting 2nd suit 2 years ago does not hang together well.

Something funny going on here?

No fitting since 2nd suit. The last suit was 2 years ago.

Hey is it ok to post your result after you got your suit fixed from DB?

Hi folks! I'm going to be in Shenzhen from the 15th-23rd, and unfortunately I won't have the time to go into Hong Kong (business trip). Are there any specific tailors you would recommend that aren't using fused construction for a suit? I won't be coming back to China until late August or I would just wait and go to a tailor in HK since they have tailor-m.com to look up places.

All the research I've done has pointed me to either this thread or to Luohu/Coastal City, but no specific names of tailors and apparently there are tons.

I'm looking to pick up ~6 shirts, and 2 suits. I will have an interpreter with me at all times so language barrier shouldn't be an issue.

In HK:
Shirts:
Janzten / Graly
Ascot

Suits:
Brown's Tailor / Dream Bespoke / Gordan Yao
WW Chan
H.Boroman (If you like old classic cut)

Those are the ones you can give it a try and can't exactly go too wrong... (from experice)

Your interpreter can guide you to your Shenzhen tailor shop for full canvas construction suits easily.

For normal case in HK & Shenzhen, 1 week for fitting and 1 week to complete the work of a suit, ie. 2 weeks, and 1 week for shirt. There could be a few more days for 1st time customers for suit alternations. For the difference between HK and Shenzhen, British and Italian fabrics cost more in Shenzhen, and HK tailor shops offer more choice of fabric. The reality is suits supplied by most HK tailor shops are actually produced in Shenzhen. In your case, I suggest to go HK tailor shops, they can mail the finished products to you.

For me, I go Shenzhen for winter traveling jackets with fused construction and China cashmere fabrics, I go HK for decent suits with full canvas construction and British and Italian fabrics. You can go tailor shops in HK and Shenzhen.

Have any of you heard of The Prologue? How are they compare to the usual big names mentioned in this thread?

FYR, here's my first suit by Prologue Hong Kong (Please ignore the background)

Looks to be an interesting suit. Are you able to post rear and profile views without the coat and also the inside of the coat please to see the attention to detail?

 

[takashi78]

Looks great.
How was the process working with them and how do you find the fitting of the suit seeing it is MTM.

Trebonair in Shenzhen is OK. Their business seems doing OK in mainland and they even have a shop in Shanghai which ONLY uses Loro Piana fabric (full range including Storm System, usually you can not see them in normal tailoring atelier). I plan to order a bespoke overcoat from them.

Maybe I will post the rear and profile views of the trousers later. I like the cutting of the trousers. It's quite clean and not too slim.

The house style is very unique among the HK tailors.

 

[teoky]

Is that a small tear on your button cuff? Other than that, it looks good to me. Maybe other forum member can chime in.

Yea, their house style is certainly more italian. That's a nice tie you have there by the way.

The "small tear" is where the cuff is buttoned up. I unfold the cuff to show the button.

Thank you. The tie is from vanda fine clothing.

After choosing the fabric, first fitting would be conducted immediately with the aid of the trial suits. The suit will then be created for the second fitting. Alternations will be done if necessary.

The fitting of the jacket is nice and that of the trousers is great.
