    I'd check out Penninsula Tailors. 5 Lock road. Shanghainese guy. (Remember his name being Robert). Used to go to him several years ago, before I started getting my suits stitched in BKK.

    GF,

    A friend of mine swears by Nelson in Far East Mansion (opp Sheraton Hotel). He's on the 1/F. You'll notice they're 2 stores with the same name, but its the one that is furtherest away from Akria.

    I've been to Nelson's, not sure if it was the same one Rani mentions but he was pretty good. Suit fitted (a big plus ) and the price was competitive.

    The only grip was that I had to go back a few too many times for fitting and alterations because, as with all tailors I have every known in Hong Kong, he does the measuring but farms out all the real tailoring work to the sweatshops in Chung Kong Mansion (or similar). I had to wait while the Chinese tailor came to do final measuring and alteration.

    Having said that, he was better than others I have used so is recommended.

    Does anyone know any tailor that does their own tailoring?
