Six of the best Hong Kong tailors for contemporary suits and shirts
We rounded up the most innovative tailors in the city – and for good measure we’ve thrown in a couple of shirt makers to complete the package
The suit is back – or at least, temporarily. About once a decade a smart suit becomes the cornerstone of a man’s wardrobe. So how best to find the middle ground with a suit that’s appropriate for casual and more formal occasions?

SUITS
The Armoury
There’s a fine balance to be had in contemporary suits and The Armoury in Central offers a range of cuts, fabrics, looks and accessories. Compared to the city’s many hectic sweatshop tailors, it’s a relaxing affair, one that’s easily paired with a tumbler of whisky. And unlike the nouveau tailors appearing on the scene, they refuse to discriminate between classic or modern, feeling that each has its particular place.
