The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

[Doctor NV]

Thanks for your response. I am looking for a full canvas sport coat. I already bought a fabric. I have a one fabric from Loro Piana it’s wool and linen mix. I have two other fabric linen mix from Solbiati. Yes, I have read the content on this specific thread for last 2 years. My budget is approx $400 for tailoring as I already have a fabric. I appreciate your help!

If you have read the contents of this forum properly you wouldn't go with your initial choice.
That seems to be a tight budget. Have you had any consideration on the style you're looking for? Pictures might help if you aren't adept with exact descriptions.

 

[Doctor NV]

sorry I didn’t clarify it US$400 per jacket approx US$1200-1300. I will go for standard two buttons, notch lapel and double vent.

 

[Eucris]

Still unclear on the style you're looking for.

In my opinion, this doesn't look well executed. I would suggest you consider Dream bespoke but just one jacket at a time. You need to do a bit more research unfortunately I haven't got sufficient time to explain the intricacies of what you need to consider but there's sufficient information on this thread. Please re-read the contents of this thread & nail down the specifics, others will be able to chime in and help you.

I would suggest you nail down the specifics before you reach out to Dream Bespoke. Thanks.

Hi,

This is my first post. I have LP and Solbiati fabric for sport coat. I am wondering what tailors would you guys recommend? I saw raja fashion bespoke has lots of good reviews on Google. I would be there on Monday.

Thanks

Avoid Raja.

 

[Doctor NV]

Avoid Raja.

Thanks for your response. Would you please recommend someone.

I’ll probably not put all eggs in the same basket. Also think whether you want different styles/cut for each jacket. Different tailors have different house cuts.

On the other hand, when you get something made bespoke, usually the 2nd and 3rd iterations are improvements over the 1st. I'd rather find a tailor whose house style I like and get three suits from them, than to go to three tailors, assuming that all three have a similar-enough vision in terms of cut, fit, and style.

Thanks for your response. I would like to try and get an experience in Hongkong. I am willing to try different tailors and post my experience here to contribute to this forum. The high end tailors are asking more than USD 1000 for tailoring. I am willing to spend USD 400-600 per jacket as I am providing my own fabric but still confused where to go.

For newer tailors there’s Anthology, prologue and the fausset. I follow them on IG and there’s some info on them here also.

The idea of good price to product ratio in HK is almost gone largely due to how bloody expensive everything in HK is so be prepared to pay more than you’d think for good quality, especially if you want your jacket made in HK and not China.

And the thing is with tailors in HK is that you can’t really just given them a photo and say hey copy that style…it’s just not in the culture. You gotta be SUPER specific and adamant, and even still you gotta say it a few times. So that’s essentially where value from WW Chan and the really exp ppl come in. For the 3 tailors I mentioned they have a very obvious styling note, they show you in their IG post and they also talk about it on their website. Easiest route is to pick the style you like and just go to that one.

Hope you have fun in your journey!
