Are you sure it's the same cloth? The quality of the cloth and who actually manufactures it will make a difference. I can't see you getting a Super 180 wool suit or something made from Ermenegildo Zegna material for 2850 HKD.

Some places will take more time to fit the suit for you and similarly some will have higher overheads (location, advertising). Also the way the suit is stitched or glued together may vary
