VINTAGE WINSOME TAILORS LTD. HAND-CRAFTED MEN'S LUXURY CHECK/PLAID OVERCOAT(HONG KONG)FABRIC: CROMBIE (SCOTLAND)Hong Kong tailors are a well-known attraction in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is still home to several bespoke tailors, who have stitched suits for foreign politicians like Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, and Bob Hawke and celebrities like Prince Charles, Kevin Spacey, Boris Becker, David Bowie, Richard Gere, and Michael Jackson.Some of the tailors are famous for the “24-hour suit,” for rushed travelers, although most suits involve 2-3 fittings, each a day apart. Many Hong Kong tailors visit the United States and the United Kingdom to take measurements and show fabric samples, with the final suit delivered by parcel.Tailoring for the upper class in Hong Kong goes back to the 1920s when there were about 600 people engaged in business. During the 1960s there were as many as 15,000 tailors. In 1966, the South China Morning Post ran a headline declaring that London's Savile Row, until then the undisputed international center of bespoke tailoring, had been replaced by Hong Kong. In the 1970s and 80s, ready-made suits became widely available, causing a decline in the number of tailors. Hong Kong remains a major location where travelers consider getting a suit.Many Hong Kong tailors travel to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and JapanEXACT MEASUREMENTS:SHOULDERS 20"ARMPITS 24"SLEEVES 25"LENGTH 44"NO FLAWS!
