Considering all the new blood coming on board at FedEx, it's probably worth making this point.

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.

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.

I think a pilot shirt is about $40 US, if I recall correctly. I haven't bought pants by them selves, but I have bought suits there. About $400 US gets you a suit with 1 Jacket, 2 pr Pants, 1 Shirt and 1 Silk Tie. The quality in the stitching is enough to impress my dry cleaner (Korean, of course) in the States. For the shirts, I selected a heavy cotton/polyester twill. It takes a nice medium starch, and comes brilliant white from a washer & dryer.
