Hong Kong tailors

[2] Hong Kong is still home to several bespoke tailors,[3] who have stitched suits for foreign politicians like Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and Bob Hawke and celebrities like King Charles, Kevin Spacey, Boris Becker, David Bowie, Richard Gere and Michael Jackson.

Tailoring for the upper class in Hong Kong goes back to 1920s where there were about 600 people engaged in the business.

In 1966, the South China Morning Post ran a headline declaring that London's Savile Row, until then the undisputed international center of bespoke tailoring, had been replaced by Hong Kong.

He realised in 1960 that the mail order boom is a temporary phase, so he diversified into real estate.

Traveling tailors travel between cities and station in a local luxury hotel for a short period of time to meet and provide the same tailoring services they would provide in their local store.
