April 3-6. Stopping on the way back from Thailand.

Haven't figured that out yet. Heard something about a sephardic shul... Though probably will go with what is closer.

Missing the Sunday night BBQ?

If you want to be at KZ then you need to stay in Kowloon and not the GH. Prob an IC or Sheraton.
If you want to stay at an awesome hotel than it's the W, but it's not shabbos friendly.

We stayed next door to chabad on the island for shabbos and then moved to the W.

Flight out i think is around 3. Will have to come back another time.

Not particular where i would go to shul. The W sounds nice, but will probably also be on a different trip.

Hopefully the suite upgrades put as somewhere nice. I need to see if they can get breakfast for me while i'm there.

Can anyone offer a few things to do in HKG (already plan on going to The Peak). I will be staying on HKI and have Wednesday afternoon-Saturday night to sight see. Would be great to have some ideas for things located near each other.

TIA

Planning a trip to HKG, booked at the Sheraton for Shabbos. Has anyone stayed there over Shabbos? Were they accommodating? Any other advice?

Anyone have any suggestions for a good tailor for custom shirts and suits?

How much do you want to spend?

ajs625 · « **Reply #446 on:** March 27, 2014, 08:09:58 AM »

I am looking to spend up to $500.

PlatinumGuy · « **Reply #447 on:** March 27, 2014, 10:44:29 AM »

Jentzen might be your best bet in that price range.

Be very thorough with fittings as that's what it's all about.

Are Tai Pan, Simpson Sin, and Sams more expensive? Will I be getting a quality suit at that price?

Last october i got a suit and three shirts at sams. Everything fits me perfect and is still in great shirt. The shirts i love the material and the fit, would definitely get more next time i am there. The suit as well, the fit is great and i cant complain. The suit was around 450$ and shirts were around $50. The most i ever spent on shirts but i would gladly buy more anytime i go back.

Did you find the people at Sams helpful or do I need to do my research and going in knowing about what I am looking for.

How can you know if a tailor is great until you see the finished product made for you?

True.

I guess for the time being, i am just really happy with how the initial meeting was and will comment on the finished product later. I did not get such a great vibe when emailing with Sam's and all this guy did was make me feel comfortable.

@Dan where did you have your clothes made? Would you recommend that tailor?

Dan · « **Reply #458 on:** March 30, 2014, 08:43:45 PM »

Tai pan in admiralty center.
Only had a kapota made but its excellent.

ajs625 · « **Reply #459 on:** March 30, 2014, 09:57:31 PM »

Has anyone else used Tai Pan tailors for a Suit/shirts? Would you recommend them?
