Men's tailor recommendation

Sorry for marginal aviation content but can anyone recommend a tailor for a suit, to be ordered during a 2-day transit going out and picked up two weeks later on the way back.

Mods - please move to Pax/SLF or Night Stop as appropriate.

Thanks - The SSK

I've been using L&K at TST for the best part of the last 10 years. Very good quality and service. Exit D2 at TST MTR-on Carnarvon Road, almost right at the exit, look for the sign.

W.W. Chan? Not cheap, but very good quality.

Yup! W.W. Chan but they usually require: measure, 1st fitting, 2nd fitting, delivery - but ask if they can fast track.

Pop's Leather right outside of the gate at Incirlik AB in Turkey. They will work from your measurements, no visit required. Awesome jackets!
they also manufacture high end handbags, etc. so pick one up for your mum and the mrs. to deflect attention from your jacket when the box arrives.
I don't have the website handy, best google it. -Robert
