I'm interested in checking out the tailoring scene in BJ. I love nice shirts, but have never indulged myself by getting tailored ones -- just far too expensive in the UK.

The price of 100-120 RMB sounds almost too good to be true: what sort of cotton is it? Do the shirts have tails, as per formal shirts in the UK. Are double cuffs extra? What material are buttons made of?

In the medium term, also looking for tailored suits/jackets. Again, I would want surgeon's cuffs, horn buttons, metal zips etc. I would prefer to use English or Italian cloth: super 100 etc (not too fine). Do the above tailors provide such service? At what ball-park cost?

I wouldn't mind checking out Alice Tailor for a shirt if it's decent quality cotton. Do I need to have her chinese name or will she be easy to spot on the 3rd floor of yashow?

thanks,
