I was in town for a conference for only a few days, and i had heard about the famous 24hr turn around for suits. But, when i looked more closely into the quality of some of these suits, i realized that many of these Tailors had a large internet/celebrity following but not necessarily a great reputation on certain bespoke suit website forums. Thus, i asked my hotel concierge at the New World Millennial Hotel and they recommended Charms. I decided to make my decision after I reached Hong Kong and visiting Charms vs Empire, and I just liked Charms more. Empire has a large following online and is ranked highly in Trip Advisor, but I enjoyed the larger space, atmosphere, and salesman in Charms and decided to go with Charms.
I am extremely happy with my choice. I arrived fri am and had my first measurements done on fri at noon. I then came back 6 hrs later for a fitting where more measurements were taken. And then, i came back saturday for final fittings. By sun, i was able to pick up 2 suits and 3 shirts and easily catch my 3pm flight. I had also ordered an overcoat and it wasn't ready, but I just received it in the mail a week later.
Now, back in the US, i've come to really appreciate the quality of a Bespoke hand made suite. My wife exclaimed that "it doesn't look like a sack" which i guess my other Armani suits looked like to her. It really does make a big difference when a suit is tailored to your body. Overall, i highly recommend Charm and i'll be looking for them in the US when they visit read more
