I noticed in the Silk Market there are some clothing shops, but I have yet to approach them because I dont know the costs yet.
How much should a custom suit cost in the silk market?
custom shirt?
is there a better shop to try?
Thanks
The silk market is overpriced compared to yaxiu and 3.3. A friend of mine recently got some really nice suits made at 3.3, though I can't remember the name of the tailor (not Lisa, for sure). Cost is around y1000 for a 3-piece with nice fabric. For shirts, I dare say that Shanghai (fabric market) is where it's at these days. Cost = y100-y150 for much cooler designs/fabric than I'm accustomed to in HK.
