Linda Chow HK Custom Tailor

Hong Kong is famous for great tailors and Linda Chow is one of the best. Her shop is located a short walk from the Star Ferry terminal on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong in the Universal Commercial Building on Peking Road. After a short ride in the small elevator to the third floor, you will arrive at Linda's shop. Two of the walls are crammed floor to ceiling with bolts of fabric, and the third wall is covered with pictures of her clients which range from Jennifer Lopez, Jet Lee and almost every admiral in the U.S. Navy.

Linda is a wonderful woman who is a master at her craft and just fun to be around. After one visit you, like everyone else, will calling her Auntie Linda. On your first visit I recommend bringing photos of the style of suit and shirt you would like. You then can leaf through hundreds of fabric samples to pick out the perfect one. Linda will then get all of your measurements.

I had a suit coat and two pairs of dress pants made with Loro Piana fabric which is one of the best brands in the world. I recently looked at having this same suit custom made at Neiman Marcus, and was given an estimate of $12,000. Linda made it for under $1,500. Customer shirts run from $80 to $200-plus, depending on the fabric. You can specify everything of your suit and shirts down to the smallest detail.

You will have two more fitting either at her shop or she can arrange to come to your hotel. After that the final clothes will be delivered to your hotel.

I highly recommend Linda. My wife and I both have had her make a lot of clothes and love all of them. After our second fitting she was gracious enough to take us out to lunch a locals Hong Kong dim sum restaurant which was fantastic. I recommend contacting her before you arrive to schedule your first appointment which can be done over the phone or by e-mail.

The best part is that once you are a client you will be notified when Linda is in the U.S. and coming to your city. She is usually there for a few days and you can make an appointment to see her and get more clothes.
