I'm looking to get a new suit in light grey. I was leaning towards a Ravazzolo MTM for around $2200 or a WW Chan suit for around $1200. Gordon Yao does not have a light grey fabric that I want.

I'm headed to HK in about a month or so. I was also going to try Bosco tailors in HK and I believe their suits start at $600 but the only person that I know that has a Bosco suit is a politician and the suit looked great.

Personally, for half the price, I would give Chan a try. But I have no experience with either.

Bosco cutting is ok, but mind you their suit is half fused.
look around to see what light grey you want, ask Gordon to order for you, or buy it yourself and give it to Gordon do CMT.

My question to you would be this, are you sure you know what you're looking for? you have quoted 3 different price ranges, and there is substantial quality differences i'm assuming in the 3, so are you sure what you're looking for?

If you have not been to HK I am surprised that you can dismiss Yao as not having the fabric you want. In turn visiting his shop might change you mind because he is certainly not short of bunches from which to choose.

As you have been to Chan either you like their work or you do not. So I am not entirely sure why you are asking given that. If want a change, then change, if not and you are happy, why change?
