Occasionally, we are told that tailoring is a sunset industry in Hong Kong. Unbelievably, you can find hundreds of menswear shops selling customised suits in this tiny place. It is the trust between the customers and the tailors makes bespoke tailoring continue generations after generations. After all, the tailors who run the shop make the difference.

Master William Tsang dedicates his life to the craft through practising cutting and tailoring. For more than half a century, he experiments different approaches while upholding the traditional craftsmanship, and further develops a more contemporary style. In his new venture, he hopes to train a new generation of tailors to continue the trade. He is also an enthusiast of high fidelity that his phonograph record collection can surprise you.

Eric Law finds his interest in tailoring through occasional encounters with fashion practitioners. Eric met Master Tsang and started learning the basic of cutting and tailoring. Impressed by his master’s persistence in continuously improving the tailoring craft and enthusiasm in training a new generation of tailors, he decided to assist master to relaunch the apprentice programme with a simple belief that tailoring has never gone out of style.
