Many years ago I had a Great HongKong experience. I walked into the shop, got up on a box and the salesman went at me with a tape while an assistant wrote every thing down. Two day's later I went back for a fit and adjust, and the next day the suit was delivered to my hotel. The gentleman who delivered it waited till I had put it on to make sure the fit was corect. It was beautiful. Cost was about $50. That was in 1958.
