Shanghai as quality is very comparable (slightly less depending on price) but much more reasonable price. Source: I've gotten from both and my $150 suit from shanghai is as good as $850 from HKG

@Op I went to South Bund Soft Spinning Material Market. I believe I went to store 222. The owner’s daughter studied in US so speaks fluent English. She finished my suits and long coat in 3 days. I’m sure she can do it in 2 if absolutely necessary

HKG is expensive. Shanghai is ok

Used practical taylor in HK and was happy with the quality. About 950 a suit, fully canvassed, VBC 110 fabric

Hong Kong wins in quality but not sure if it's worth the price difference. I've had 3 suits and a long coat made in Shanghai for under a grand (close to what one suit in HK will run you for) and they have been making me look sexy for the past three years

@DD - any suggestions on tailors in Shanghai for quick turn around?

Bangkok. Rajawongse or Gulati. I have have 7 suits done there. Now I just call them.

OP, most of the main silk markets can turn around in less than 48 hrs

P1 is right, go to Gulati. I️ got 3 suits, 3 ties and 6 shirts for 1K

I’m aware of the tailors in Thailand, but unfortunately that was my vacation last year. This is why I’m asking about Shanghai/HKG. 😓

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
