Question

Hello all!

I am looking to enter the world of bespoke suits and am wondering whether anyone has any advice and hopefully a recommendation or two, preferably in the NE. I would love to find a decent tailor who I can rely on.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

You may have noticed the Hong Kong tailor "Raja" advertising in National Press. He visits all major cities and tailors suits at very competitive rates.

My manager got a suit made and is very pleased with it.

I got some shirts done, but they're crap.

I got suits and shirts made by "century" tailors in Hong Kong last year and they are fantastic.

It's just a shame British Tailors charge so much.

I think I'm gonna take a dress making course!

My £140 suit from Debenhams fits me pretty much perfectly.
