Pilot uniform tailor or shop in HK
Dear all:
Apologies for the mondane question.
Can anyone recommend a tailor/shop in HK who is familiar or specialized in pilot's uniforms. I know there are at least a thousand of tailors in HK, so your guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks,
NA

The best quality is "Crazy Horse Tailor" two doors from "The Wanch" pub. Don't worry about the name, he is good. He will also fit a beaut coloured lining to your uniform jacket. Go for two vents (fart flaps) it looks so much more elegant than one.
W W Chan outsources his tailoring to mainland China. Crazy Horse does not. There is a huge difference in the quality of the stitching.

I went into WW Chan’s recently to make an order. They said they no longer take orders for pilot uniforms. Apparently it is no longer economically viable for them to do so.

Perhaps their business model has altered since then?

Bowen Company Custom Tailors.
Located on the 1st floor of Houston Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui East.
Bring a sample of your uniform shirt and pants and they will make a version for you that actually fits you perfectly and doesn't feel like polyester.
They have had experience making uniforms for the military as well as airline pilots.

Advise
Oh I give up. Advise, Advice, you make up your own English but for the record you were given Advice on which tailor to use, you weren't offering Advise. Back to School old (young) chum.

Off thread? (pun intended)
Personally, I would advise people not to take advice from those who are unsure of their facts regarding the English language.
Mondane differences between verbs and nouns, such as advise and advice for instance, often prove to be too difficult to master, even for those who supposedly have English as their first language.
I'm just off to practise the difference between practice and practise after I finish my speeling and grammer practice so please don't take this as me offering advise.....

Many thanks for the recommendation. I've been to Mr. Bowen a couple of weeks ago and he made a real good uniform and perfect shirts. Much better than the polyester stuff our company is providing.
happy landings

Dear God,
My heart agrees with you, but my head doesn't.
If we act and look like street sweepers, eventually we'll be paid like street sweepers. (And the hat: together with a smart uniform, at least there is an implication of a professional under there).

I need a custom hat!
I'm going to head downtown to get a better fitting uniform, but it wouldn't be complete without a more professional hat.
Does anyone know where I can get a custom tailored hat in Hong Kong? I don't really want to cross the border if I don't have to.
I'm looking for two versions based on my current CX hat:
Passenger version
Freighter version
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
