You will get a free beverage of choice, or two, from Linda Chow. As mentioned earlier, the shirts suck(wrinkle in the wind, forget after you use shoulder harness). Pants are okay, albiet a bit pricey. The clasp broke on one pair(okay, maybe I need to move up a couple sizes :rolleyes:). Jackets are nice.

They don't advertise it but Landerwood will custom make shirts to your measurements.

I used to use Ascot Chang until he stopped stocking the 60/40 Cotton/Dacron blend fabric. Now I use David's Shirts. Excellent quality throughout, but not cheap.

A pair of my Linda Chow uniform pants lost their clasp too. I just got back - had a short lay over in Hong Kong. Linda Chow (the other girl that worked at her place, actually) took my pants in the morning, and had them delivered to the hotel that same early evening with a brand new clasp. No charge.
Shirts: Pilot House (Pilot House, Pilotshirts.com for pilot shirts, airline uniform shirts and accessories) are awesome. |
Most guy's have it right. There are many places in HKG to get close and uniform's made. But by far the best is WINSTON"S CUSTOM TAILOR. They are directly across the street from the Sheraton, in the double glass doors just to the right of the 7-11 and on the 2nd floor. Ray is the head guy in charge and is a great guy. There is a Fedex plane in the window so you can't miss it. His prices are half that of Linda Chow and the quality is much better. He is approved by the company and the company will pay for his services. Just use the company credit card. Hope this is helpful.

Just went to Winstons next to the Sheraton. If anyone has had shirts or pants made recently can you PM me and let me know what you paid??? Just trying to make sure I don't get ripped off....price quoted seemed a little high. Thanks in advance |
Go to Sam's on Nathan Road. About $20US.

Just went to see Mr Raymond last month; 2 pair of pants, custom tailored with silk linings, $154. $4 over the allotment.
I also get his silk uniform shirts. They are great in hot weather. I think they're around $35 each but well worth it IMO. |
Magenta Line,
where is Mr. Raymond? |
Thanks folks. Went to Winstons. Purchased 2 pairs of pants for $1280 HKD. Slightly more than most paid. Also got one shirt. Will be picking them up in a few days.... I will let you know what I think of the items.
I appreciate the input |
Grabbed a shirt at Winston's last week at $35.93
Tailored and ready in 24 hrs. I certainly do not mind paying a bit more for the higher quality + convenience. |
Copy watch, handbag?

My company, Aetna Shirt, was founded in Baltimore in 1916, and since then has made better quality domestic shirts, with no offshore production or outsourcing To address the pilot’s comment about the fabric issue, Aetna has not changed fabric to save money. We use the same fabric and supplier today that Joe used for the past decade. However, in recent years, global cotton shortages forced prices to soar. and Some suppliers had to change sources, so fabric from the same supplier may have varied in quality, and my costs increased rather than decreased. At times Joe used offshore factories, so it is difficult to know the origin of the shirt with which the pilot had loose thread issues. If we hear of quality or other issues, we do our best to resolve them. I am a retired physician, and my staff and I are proud to serve the pilot community. We try to accommodate requests for special features, and we stand behind the quality of our shirts. Chris Raivel is responsible for everything Landerwood, and she or I are available to address any concerns that arise. Thank you. Dan Kohn |
If quality is important, try L&K in TST. They're the best I've found.

All these top notch tailors in HKG that guys are recommending are great for personal suits, tuxes, or guys working elsewhere. As of right now, the only two places approved for FedEx uniforms in HKG are Winston and Linda Chow. I'll throw my two cents in for Linda for the pants and coat. Top notch quality material. I can stick my blazer in my bag for a DH, take it out at the hotel and give it a shake and it looks great. My first pair of pants I got from her over 5 years ago are still going strong. I've never bought her shirts because I think they are very over priced. Winston's shirts are pretty good at around $40 USD, but they don't compare with what's available at A Cut Above for $29. |

I thought about trying them in the past, what do they charge for pilot shirts and work pants? Shirts I stay away from 100% cotton, especially when it's hot and humid. Do they offer a good wrinkle free fabric? I got my last batch of shirts in Dubai, which fit nicely and the fabric has a nice soft feel, but I noticed that the fabric tends to pill rather quickly.
