    Hongkong or Shenzhen: Where to find custom tailors to get custom suits, dress, shirts, clothes

    I was hoping to know some information on where to find a good custom tailor for custom shirts, dress, suits, clothes. I've had some custom jackets made in a Hongkong shop in the past. But some people told me to try Shenzhen. Do someone have any experiences with custom tailors in Shenzhen. I've read some travel guides, but they seem to be out of date. I was hoping to find a good tailor, where there were good experiences and recommendations from a lot of shoppers, tourists and expats. thanks

    You're asking to be ripped off in Shenzhen IMO, most clothing there is made from poor quality cloth and they will try to cheat you all day long.....that includes the next newbie who'll pop along shortly with a recommendation, I'm sure.

    sorry but I don't agree. sometime you can get good clothes there, one of my colleague got a good suit using for more than a year - price RMB 300 only.

    i think you need local language and may be luck.

    @ Bryant... If Shenzhen isn't good, do you have a recommendation where I can go in Hongkong in the next three days. I'll just go to Hongkong. Just a tailor shop where I can go straight in Hongkong we're here until Friday, Dec.23... coz me and my fiance need some clothes made...

    Shenzhen tailors are terrible, although they can do a reasonable copy. My mate had a suit made in Shenzhen and the jacket looked like a dress and needed to be altered 3 times before it resembled anything wearable.

    Go to Om Custom Tailors in Tsim Sha Tsui its inside the Tsim Sha Tsui Centre on Mody Road. Indian Owner, Chinese Tailor good fabrics and prompt service.

    I got 3 suits made from there in last 1 year.

    Please note suits are individual preference and I don't personally endorse them so don't blame me if you do not like them!

    Decent tailored clothes require several fittings. if you are only here until 23/12, you don't really have enough time. Why not just buy off the peg?
