The artist is present. The artist in this case is Ornald Wilson, the charismatic and tirelessly enthusiastic proprietor of this shop. Although many of his customers are out of towners who blow into the shop for a quick and decently priced suit, he has a legion of regulars, myself included.
Such devotion is earned through fair prices, quality craftsmanship and a dedication to quality such that he won't even take your money until you are 100% satisfied - sort of like the Baymax of tailored shirts and suits. If a button pops off, a slight alteration is needed or if you need the lining replaced - he'll do it. No questions asked and no charge.
Ornald is especially endearing to customers who are perhaps new to the world of custom tailored suits. He will gently guide your decision making process in terms of style and accessories. He can even do it in Cantonese if you'd care. And he will break common misconceptions of how a suit ought to be cut, ensuring that your fit even matches your lifestyle and usage pattern.
In most cases, a suit can be made in 4-5 days. A day for measuring, the following day a mock up, two days later the nearly final product and one more day to address final tweaks. Shirts and even women's dresses can also be had in a similar if not shorter time frame.
Whether you're new or used to the world of bespoke suits and shirts, Ornald will give you a great product at a fair price. That ideal combination in itself is a rare art form in this industry. read more
