W.W. Chan & Sons

W.W. Chan & Sons has dressed presidents, CEOs, and three generations of style obsessives since 1952, preserving the old Shanghainese cutting tradition that Hong Kong's tailoring industry grew out of. The Maoming South Road shop is a time capsule: bolts of cloth, paper patterns, and tailors who remember your measurements from years ago.\n\nA first suit takes about three fittings over a few weeks, from around USD 1,000. If you cannot wait, their famous trunk shows visit London, New York, and Zurich throughout the year. For travelers, it is also the perfect heritage stop - the owner will happily show you the cutting room.
