I'm off to HKG for the first time this coming week, so looking for quick expert opinion so I know where to go (for bespoke shirts/suits and other stuff too I supose).
Thanks!

For MTM/bespoke shirts, Jantzen has a good quality/price ratio, their shirts are around 40-45USD and up:

Baron Kay has been know to be able to make a good suit for about 600USD. WW Chan, A-Man-Hing-Cheong, Gordon Yao, etc, will be in the 1000USD+ range. Jantzen also makes suits, they should be in the 450USD range, however, they are more known for their shirts. Any tailor you see with hawkers/touts on Nathan Rd should be avoided, and most other tailors in the lower-mid-price ranges are mostly fronts for shops in China just across the border.
You can also check out styleforum.net and
www.askandyaboutclothes.com for more info on HK tailors.
Also, there is a place called Zee's where they make custom shoes and other leather goods:
Zee's Leather Ware's
18 Far East Mansion Arcade
Middle Road, Tsimshatsui, Hong Kong
Good luck, I'm also heading to HK for the first week of December, and will also be getting a suit or two.
