>>The silk market is overpriced compared to yaxiu and 3.3.

yaxiu is that Sanlitun ?


>>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.
>>

So that is about $150 USD.
Can you give me information on 3.3, I am not familiar with it.
If you give the location, I can ask the hotel what train to take there.


>>
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

wow. so at the Fabric Market in Shanghai, I can get a custom shirt made for 150 RMB?
That is cheap. (now I know what amount to try and bargain for)
