Looking for a good Men's Tailor in Shanghai
We normally get my husbands shirts and suits in Bangkok but haven't been going there lately, instead its been Shanghai and I need some suggestions for good quality and price.
He is a short bulky man so he needs someone who is really good at fittings.
Please give us some referrals.

I'm in the market for a few suits as well. Check out http://www.shanghaiexpat.com/phpbbfo...t79043-25.html
WW Chan is the the way to go.
mnredfox, my best solution to questions like this is to call the best tailor, autoshop, dentist, etc you can find and see if they perform the service I need. If they don't, ask them who they refer their customers to. You can also call the concierge at a high end hotel for input (often they don't know if you are or not a guest) but be careful with this route as the concierge is often going with their own impressions or if it's a common request (e.g resturant, limo, etc) they are compensated by the business to send clients their way.

After a lot of searching I used 'Fit Well Fashion' - found the suits and shirts to be very good. I paid RMB3600 for a suit with two pairs of trousers.

If you have the time, and KNOW what you want fit wise, and resist the pleas for upfront payment, you can get excellent product at South Bund. Force them to do fittings and you'll get good results. Have a few wonderful $40 sport coats bought in such a manner. Not so lucky there with shirts - fittings can't make up for poor quality fabric.
Favorite place for tailoring has been Singapore vis-a-vis quality of both tailoring and textiles.
