Last month, I brought one of my Paul Smith suits there and asked them to copy it with double stitching; they did a bang-up job. I don't doubt that the places in the CBD are better, but I'm pretty sure that a big portion of the price difference goes towards paying their sky high rents.
It says it all:
The Chinese are great copiers. Give them a suit, pick the material and you will get a carbon copy, as least at the average, above average tailor.
