tailored suits in hong kong

[billb]

am going in feb and wanna pick up a suit - anyone got any recommendations or not for anywhere as loads of places do it?

Is that a full made to measure using your measurements or a tailored off the shelf suit?

[billb]

made to measure theyre supposed to be really cheap out there arent they?

[edc]

I can't help with any names, I just tend to go where my cousins walk us to. Don't forget most of their suits use a much thinner cloth and light lining cos of the weather. Make sure you pick suitable cloth/material.

ooh are shirts good someone told me theyre not a patch on what you buy in england? i had heard of them and considered going when they are in england - suppose the good thing is if i liked the suit i could get more without going to hk. sound silly but were they a modern style just got nightmare visions of coming away with an 80's classic type thing!

Not sure about Hong Kong, but I got two suits tailored (from scratch) in Singapore at probably THE most highly-regarded tailors there and they came out at 210 quid each- that's choosing your own material, style etc. Bargain I reckon.

I think Hong Kong might even be cheaper!

You might get them to do you a couple of made-to-measure shirts too, as these are only 25 quid...

agree with all the above, i've used them, very good but you do need to be VERY specific about what you want and haggle hard.
