    Default Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    So the Savile Row thread finally got around to the Hong Kong scene, so I figured maybe a HKG thread for those of us who like it and those who want to go or those who just want to hear what it's all about? I searched but didn't find existing thread, if there is one, please let me know!

    As i mentioned in the other thread, I do travel writing and have a series starting on the basics of HKG tailors here

    Simpson Sin is a standby of mine for shirts, Lee Baron (Peter Lee) another favorite. Who does everyone else like?

    Jantzen Tailors for shirts. Fat Tai (Eddie Sui) for suits.

    Suspect the tailor I went to is gone by now. Was last in Hong Kong in 1971. Great place for getting suits made!

    Probably, but you never know!

    Slight drift, but here in Singapore there are fewer and fewer tailors in business. I have all my work shirts, trousers and occasional suit made by this guy I have been using for a while now and he is closing his ladies' tailoring service, lack of demand because ready made is now comparatively cheap while ladies' tailoring is far from cheap - my wife wants a dress made for a wedding next month, having bought the fabric and we were quoted in excess of $400 Sing just to run up a frock!! No wonder they are a dying breed.

    I've had several shirts made by Joe Hemrajani from www.mytailor.com. They are very good, and affordable.

    Does anyone have any experience with Monalo Tang?



    Victor Lau of Monalo Tang reached out to us through our blog, and I am going to meet with them at the end of the month to do a little piece on their operation and outfit. Any background info would be great. Also, if anyone has any questions you would like me to ask, let me know.
