Watch Out for (Dodgy) Dave Custom Tailors in CKE Scam!

Buyer beware - why would anyone buy bespoke tailored clothing (or that matter any other service) on Groupon? As for tailored shorts $900 can buy you a nice Thomas Mason cloth fully tailored shirt from many reputable tailors in HK. $400-$600 will get you a really nice 100% cotton tailored shirt. Under $400 and you're likely to not be satisfied with the end product or end up with a poly-cotton rag.

Agreed.

Champagne tastes but a beer budget but get upset when they get beer not champagne.

It really is worth spending a little extra on fabric such as Thomas Mason. Although some un-branded shirting is of a high quality it is hard for the average person to spot with just a swatch. There are plenty of forum posts looking for fine quality shirts from Hong Kong.

Groupon was quick to reply to say they would look into the matter...A few weeks later and nothing, no refund or update on what was/has been done.

In the future, I will stay away from tailors in CKE mall or around that area in general.

My tailor is in CKE, no complaints to date, and when something needs further adjusting then the tailor and I are willing to put in the time (for fittings) until it is done right - after all that is what bespoke tailoring is about. It is like Jimbo stated champagne taste sought for beer prices.

Groupon has been great for goods but wouldn't go for anything other than that, e.g. meals, tailors, holidays.

If somebody is advertising these types of things on groupon it makes me wonder why!

Still sucks a little though.
