I need to have a suit made by Sunday, ideally somewhere in Central or Admiralty at a reasonable price. Where should I go?

Although I know you asked for HK-side I just had a first communion suit made for my nephew last week ...walked in on Tuesday shipped to the USA on Thursday night... granted no fittings as he is in the USA and will be taken care of the by a tailor there but still 2 days is really fast .... I went to Malik, New Superfit Fashions on the ground floor of Tsim Sha Shui Mansions on Nathan Rd in TST. I know when he does stuff for me it is at least one to two fittings depending on what it is he is making for me....he's a nice guy so if you ask him he may come to you...actually a majority of tailors in HK will come to you with samples of material for suit and shirts , take your measurement that is if you know what you want in what material type and color they go away then will come to you for a fitting go away come again and deliver the suit but you should try it again just to see if it correct ....worse case is another alteration needs to be done.

Is this the relatively new place that seems to be mainly oriented towards shirts? If so, can anyone comment on what their shirts are like compared to other tailors?

I walked in on a Monday and decided to get their advertised special for $1k. It was ready by Thursday evening. They measured me and offered me some options on the monogram, collar, and sleeve. The salesman didn't speak good English but another one helped him out sometimes. The quality is in the middle ok. They're nothing spectacular but not bad either. There's a good selection of material in various colors. They did get the style of the monogram wrong. I wanted cursive letters and they gave me printed style but now that I'm back in the US I'm not going to fuss. The shirts do fit very well, like a glove. They asked on the style that I wanted but didn't list the options so I went w/ European. A tighter fit, which it is without all the extra material everywhere. I'm 5' 7" and 155 lbs.

Options offered:
-Sleeve, Collar,
-Monogram and style
-Monogram contrast w/ colors or not
-Front shirt fold over or not by buttons
-Style/Fit

I recommend them for decent well fitting shirts.

GabeB> Did you mean $1k per shirt? I have friends who have really nice shirts made in Causeway Bay between $300 and $500 depending on the fabric.

Alby> What do you have that tailor make for you?

Used many a tailor in the past 20 years of living in HK, especially those in TST. Albert's never given me a cause for complaint. He can be reached at 6020 1774
