Hong Kong and Macau - Recommended tailor in HK?

I'm going to be heading over to Hong Kong in a couple weeks and could use a new suit. Anyone have any recommendations for a tailor and how much I should expect to pay?

I'm going to be there for about 4 full days, and I don't expect that to be enough time to finish the job. However, if all it takes is getting the measurements down, and some minor adjustments at a later date, I can have a friend pick it up for me and get it on a future trip to HK later next year.

Moving thread to the FT Hong Kong Forum.
Best wishes....

tailor suits in HK are roughly $900 - $1500HKD (Top + bottom)
and the fastest usually requires a week. so you would need a friend to pick up for you.
They measure you on the spot after you select the fabric you want to use and color and style.

I usually go to a place in Wan Chai - in the building "C C Wu Building" (集成中心) address is 302 Hennessy Road. There's only one place in the building that does tailor suit so you wont miss it. If entering from Hennessy side you'll spot the McDonald on your left hand side. Walks to the other side of the building (pass the elevators) and you'll see a staircase to the upper level. the tailor place is on that upper level.

Thanks!

I also see that this thread was moved to the HK Forum (didn't know we had one!) and there's a giant thread already for HK tailors. Will check it out now!

People on the forum recommend Danny's. I really like William Cheng and Sons -- think they're great, good value, and super fast. I've had 10 shirts, a couple suits, and pants turned around in just a few days. It's near TST in Kowloon.

Suit up!

As you can see, I am a very long time FTer since 2000 with very few recommendations. So this is no shill. I am Canadian and have been to Hong Kong twice including this week's visit.

In 2009, I read a review in FT about Noon Tailor. I wanted someone who could give personal service so wanted to stay away from the better known tailors with better Internet reputations. I took a chance and picked Noon Tailor.

I bought 2 suits and 2 jackets and some shirts and extra pants.

I was happy and 3 years later the suits are still holding up great after many cleanings.

Today (literally) I am back in HK for the second time. I pre-ordered 3 suits and 3 shirts (special Egyptian cotton because I sweat so much). Rehman at Noon Tailor sent them to Beijing where I picked them up to wear to my business meetings in China. Then yesterday evening I flew to Hong Kong. Today Rehman came himself to visit me in my Hong Kong hotel to deliver 5 more shirts and to explain the different quality of cloth for his suits (in 2009 he used English material for 1 suit and Korean for the other). In 2012 he used Italan super 180. I love those low sweat shirts. Hand stitching is used on the suits where required for long term use.

I am very happy with what he sold me. Not the cheapest by any means but good quality and good service. That's what I wanted. Also way cheaper than Canada.
