    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

     Agree wholeheartedly with point 4 - I can't actually justify using AC anymore given the shape of the shirts can be made by others at significantly lower cost.

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

     Which tailor has this price? The minimum AC price I was offered was around 1.2k per shirt iirc - last year.

    Hong Kong Shirt Makers

     I think I understand what you mean - that you expect a shirtmaker to do their own thing and produce a shirt that is 100% theirs but FWIW even Ascot Chang also asked me about the measurements of the shirt that I was wearing (Janzten) and also measured the shirt (just the body) and will use...

    Zee's Leatherware & Shoe Co.

     I have the same problem with my first pair of shoes (I previously ordered only boots). The first time I did extensive walking with the shoe (around 4 hours) I got a blister on top of my big toe joint of one of my feet. I'm wondering whether this problem will go away, or whether the shoe...

    Antonio Meccariello Shoes

     Yes, that is what I mean and I am wondering if the 1 person who had it done could share his experience. To me it seems like such a complicated issue so I worry that the result might be mixed.

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    I'd be up for sharing any questions with him but I wouldn't want to inconvenience him any further than I already do.

    Antonio Meccariello Shoes

    Did anyone here ask Antonio to customize the footbed of the shoe to match a customized orthopedic? I spoke with Antonio about this and he told me that he has done this once before and I was hoping that it was someone from this thread.

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

     I think this is fair, and absolutely true. I was unattended the first time I went to WW Chan, but like this AC experience (and hence why I didn't walk out on them), I stuck with them to see the results of the suits - and the suit jackets and jackets are made and fit very well (except for...

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

     You're absolutely right that I should have asked. I didn't mention to them that I was a return customer until during the shirt decision making process (selecting the colours, darts, etc.) and by then I was dismayed by their attitude towards me that this thought didn't cross my mind. After I...

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    I was actually at AC yesterday in IFC and ordered a few shirts. Service was pretty poor - I was served by the older gentleman and he was quite gruff and rude, more so than Jantzen. With respect to the service at the shirt cloth selection stage, the older gentleman told me that their minimum is 3...

    W.W. Chan tour vs local tailor

    I'm a customer of WW Chan and I'd recommend that you go local, if your local tailor's technical capabilities meet your standards. As much as I like my suits from Chan, I would have been dissatisfied with how the suit turned out if I didn't get 3 fittings (at their insistence) before the suit was...

    What was your starting salary (approx.)?

    36k plus 2k for clothing in 2008 in Canada. Not much in the way of benefits. CA firm (now cpa I guess) that focused on advisory, tax and did audit for non public entities. At that time, I remember the big 4 paying 33k for the same entry level position. Sad to say that the starting salaries...

    The Interview Questions Thread

     Depends on many factors, especially where they did undergrad/worked + home culture + whether they're dicks. If you're interviewing at a truly Chinese PE firm without being actually Chinese, you're probably pretty boss and whatever you do will be used to support preconceived notions they...
