In one of the world's most expensive cities to live, yes. Also, being very optimistic in terms of the time that goes into a fully canvassed suit.



But I guess the more important point is this (starting rant): what the bloody hell is it that people expect from Hong Kong tailors? A bespoke suit made to Savile Row standards with Zegna Super 200 cloth, ready in two days,with their idealized fit and silhouette, for 300 bucks? Why should anyone expect a discount for quantity ordering? As far as I know, you don't get one at Huntsman or A&S, neither do you get one at Sam Hober. A Brooks Brothers suit will cost you as much as a Lee Baron one, and given the low costs that Brooks must be able to negotiate on fabric and the fact that they produce assembly-line style in low-income countries, I'm not sure that Lee Baron isn't a fair deal. Will there be tailors in Hong Kong able to offer a lower price for a similar product? Probably, but I haven't found them, and although I do speak Chinese, I simply don't have the time to go and look around. I appreciate any tips, but Do tailors have a moral obligation to advertise their services on SF? I shouldn't think so. There seems to be a compunction about scoring a deal on this forum, rather than building a relationship with someone. It just doesn't work like that.
