Ascot Chang

After more than 60 years in business, Ascot Chang is a keystone of the Hong Kong tailoring industry. Founded by the eponymous Shanghainese tailor who moved to the city during the 1940s, the family-run business continues to be run by the founder’s son Tony and grandson Justin. Ascot Chang has become renowned for its quality and consistency, made possible by its experienced army of tailors and pattern cutters, not to mention a fabric library that runs to several thousand bolts. For its suits, Ascot Chang utilises a lightweight yet springy full canvas for a comfortable jacket that retains its shape. Bespoke tailoring at Ascot Chang starts from HK$14,000 and can go up to HK$30,000 depending on fabric. The company has a number of outlets in Hong Kong, including one in Central’s IFC mall, a short walk from the Airport Express train, an ideal place to pick up your bespoke suit before checking in.
