Getting a bespoke suit does not have to cost the earth. In fact, Hong Kong has one of the largest concentrations of low-cost suit makers in the world. From monogrammed bespoke shirts to designer copies, there are dozens of tailors and suit-makers to fit your style, needs and budget. Here is our list of the best that combine high-quality with value for your HK$. Be wary of backstreet tailors who may charge pennies but will likely give you a suit that does not fit. Research a little first and then choose wisely so you are sure to get an item that should last for a long time, and more often than not, improves with wear.

A point to remember is that when visiting a tailor for the first time, the price advertised may not be the final price that you pay. This will all depend on the material you opt for, the cut, and how fast you want the suit made. It is perfectly acceptable to haggle, so make sure that you know how much you are willing to pay, and perhaps more importantly, make sure the tailor knows how much you are willing to pay before they take the scissors to the cloth!

Jim's Tailor Workshop
