Getting A Suit Made? Hong Kong Might Be A Good Idea
Intro
There are few places in the world where you can get good quality suits made, including London, New York, and Milan, to name a few. However, I had been in contact with a tailor out of Hong Kong, who is called "Lord's Tailor" in Kowloon and found them to be great.
Here is my experience of getting a suit made in Hong Kong, and why I might recommend it to you.
Lords Custom Tailors
Deep in the heart of Kowloon lies a custom tailor by the name of "Lords". For a while back, I was in constant communication with the owner, Jason. We had discussed getting a full suit made for the cost of around 850$.
During my time in Hong Kong, I was able to choose my fabric and design, then later I was able to come back to get the full fitting done a day later.
Through the next week there was some back and forth in regards to final customization. However, 2 weeks later, Jason was in the area and dropped it off to me in person! Usually, the tailor will include free express shipping from Hong Kong to wherever in the world.
The Quality
The biggest question I seem to get asked about this suit is about the quality. Oftentimes, a lower cost indicates a lower quality. I'd say that this suit was right around the price range in terms of quality. It was definitely not up there with the likes of premium suits from New York or London, but it was sleek enough to get by.
Hey, look, for 850$ for a full tailor-made suit, that's not a bad deal at all.
Final Thoughts
If you happen to find yourself in Hong Kong, and in need of a suit, check out Lords Custom Tailor in Kowloon. While the quality isn't quite up to par with what you would pay for top-of-the-line suits in the UK and New York, it's still well worth it!
