+1...my suits are from HK and I love them.
Although to be fair, we *wanted* to go to HK
...the value of my time, just to buy suits, would have been a deal-killer even if someone was giving me the suits for free. It's about a 72-hour process with initial measurements, intermediate fitting, and then final fitting.
Also: I get the sense that as Hong Kong suits are no longer that big of a "secret", the pricing has come up a bit from what people talked about 10 years ago - at least in the area of high-quality, fully-bespoke suits. Still a great deal for excellent suits, of course. (Rock bottom cheap for really cheap suits = Shanghai. I bought a couple of those and they did not last long.)
But since HK is always a good time, if the suits are what it takes to nudge you that way, so be it. ^
