Custom Suit Made While In China?
We will be doing a tour through China, spending a few (2-3) days in Shanghai and 3 days in Beijing with other spots in between. Just wondering if it is possible to have a men's suit made in this time period? Any recommendations if this is possible? Cost?
Thanks for your help.

2. I prefer suits where the pants look okay standalone
3. Get a second set of pants
4. I go to the South Bund fabric market myself

I am actually not a huge fan of shirts that I get made in Beijing or Shanghai. Sure, they fit me a little better than rack shirts I can buy at Banana Republic, but the quality is not as good. The suits, by contrast, are generally quite presentable if you go with a high end fabric.
