I use Winston tailor and Mr. Raymond. Have been having him make me silk uniform shirts. They cost more but are very comfortable in the oppressive heat. He has also made dinner jackets and a cashmere long coat for me and I get comments all the time on how they look.

Now...If you could just find a nice fedora, you'd be set.

Thumbs down Landerwood - I don't get the hype

Ordered the Landerwood Style 700 (athletic).
- Way too baggy
- Fabric feels cheap
- Made in China (guess they used to be made in USA)
- Not very wrinkle resistant
- Over-priced ($32.95ea + s&h)

Probably gonna go back to PilotHouse style TOFS or try having some VanHeusen's tailored.

I use the tapered PilotHouse shirts and they are good. I can't believe Landerwood is now made in China!!?? I thought that dude used to be really pro-USA (ya know, like Walmart!)

Linda Chow's shirts are no good, pants are great.

My last batch of Landerwood shirts still say made in the USA, however, the quality is different from my previous set. Not sure what happened, but I really do not like them anymore.

Linda Chow's shirts are bad. Winston's is the best by far. Great pants and shirts. I have been using him for eight years. Tried Linda Chow and went back, got tired of buttons falling off and poorer quality material.

All of my shirts from Linda Chow have had buttons fall off or completely fell apart. Her shirts and pants are more expensive and lower quality.
Everything that I've gotten from Raymond Lo at Winston Tailors is great. I keep going back to him. He's made me a suit and a tux all great work.
Try it you'll like it!

You might consider Jantzen Tailor Official Website A "Made to Measure" (semi-custom) tailor.

I have used them for 3 separate orders and have been happy with the results. But their mail-order service is a very low priority with shirts often showing up 4-5 months after order. That said, Ricky does not charge your credit card until shirts have shipped.

I understand that you will get much faster and better results if you stop by their retail store in HK. All in all, they provide a good quality shirt for the price with a wide variety of fabrics and styles to choose from.

Cheers,
D
