Heading to HKG on a business trip and looking to take advantage of the custom tailors there. AS you might tell from my name I'm a Big and Tall guy who needs to have clothes custom made. Last year on a trip to Seoul, got 10 suits made for $180 each. All good quality, still in great shape. Want to take advantage of this trip as well. Anyone got a good tailor in HK?

------------------

I've used Ash Samtani tailors (http://www.samtani.com/) for several years, and I would recommend them. However, I would not expect to have suits made for $180 each, at least not with any sort of quality materials.

I recommend W W Chan in Burlington House on Nathan Road, near the Miramar hotel. Not cheap, however. Expect 3 fittings over at least 2 days. More time means a better product.

My vote's for Maxwell's on Nathan Road.

Thanks for the replies. Anyone ever heard of Sam's Tailor? It was featured recently in the Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A3312-2002Jan18&notFound=true

Sam's is downstairs from W W Chan on Nathan Road. He has received a lot of publicity over the years. (You can do a search at www.deja.com (http://www.deja.com) with keywords: sam's tailor hong kong.)

Since they're in the same building, you might ask to see some samples. W W Chan makes the uniforms for Cathy Pacific (or used to, at least).

A couple of years ago a friend and I spent some time checking out the supposedly high quality suit tailors (H Baromon, Ah-Man Hing Cheong Co, W W Chan) and settled on W W Chan, but everyone is different.
