    First time suit purchase, excellent experience
    I did a lot of shopping around to find a tailor, and through recommendation I found this place. They made my first suit experience wonderful. From the beginning they were very commutative and knowledgeable. They explained everything, gave me the options and I never felt like they were trying to upsell me. They were very fast, and able to work around my schedule, and ultimately created a suit that fit perfectly. The material was affordable, felt great, and was nice, looks great. I’m excited to come back and get suits in the future. Definitely visit if you’re in the area, the suit didn’t have any issues with either the stitching or fit, and it took three visits to get the suit perfect.

    Made in the store
    I’ve been coming to Hong Kong since 2002, and it’s the best city in the world to have a tailor made suit done. But often people get distracted by the cheapest bargain rather than focusing on what goes into making long lasting quality clothing. I’ve been dealing with the folks at Empire since 2012 Strongly recommended, spacious, they have both mid range and high end cloth, they serve drinks, best part is you can see the tailors making your suit. While every tailor store in Hong Kong claims to be in - house, They are actually indeed house. Still very pleased with my suits and shirts from 2017. Picked up some blazers recently.

    amazing experience / amazing suit
    My wife and I were visiting Hong Kong for a few days on a larger trip. I have always heard when you are in Hong Kong get a bespoke suit. So I did some research and landed on Empire. I wrote an email scheduling an appointment with Mark and mentioned that I would only have 3 days in town and can they make it work. Mark said yes and we had an appointment for a measurement on the books. I walked in and was greeted by Nick. The experience just got even better. Nick walked me through pricing, colors, fabrics, everything under the sun. I couldn't believe all the choices I could make. He said come back the next day for fitting. I did, the fitting was amazing, the suit fit like a glove and they made little alterations to make it even more bespoke. The suit was ready the following day.. I can't reiterate enough how happy I am with the experience. If I could give 6 stars I would. Do yourself a favor go see Nick and Empire and you will have a tailor for life. I know I do.

    Great suits!
    Amazing service and quality! I first went back to Empire back in 2016 when I was starting my first job. Recently went back (I'm not sure there's any other tailor I could trust!) when I happened to be in Hong Kong and the team were just as friendly and helpful. My new suit is just as wonderful as the first one I ordered many years back. Highly recommend anyone stopping by in Hong Kong to give them a go!

    Great quality tailoring
    We try to go to Empire whenever we're in HK. They do quality work, have a large selection of fabrics and can turn stuff around quickly without sacrificing on quality. We were pleased with the shirts and suits we had made. Fortunately they do road shows throughout the US so we can get bespoke shirts or suits without having to fly to HK. Highly recommended.

    Top quality custom tailoring
    I have been a loyal customer of Empire Tailor for over 10 years now, and they continue to exceed my expectations every time. The level of attention to detail they put into creating custom clothing for me is truly remarkable. Their tailors have an innate understanding of how to craft garments that make me feel and look my best. The team goes above and beyond to ensure my experience is seamless, from taking precise measurements to providing helpful style advice. What I admire most is their craftsmanship and genuine passion for their work. You can tell they take great pride in their skills and strive to produce garments of the highest quality. The wide selection of premium fabrics they offer also means there is something to suit every budget and style.

    Highly recommended tailors in Hong Kong
    Visited the storefront when they were located in Kowloon. Was so impressed with the quality of the clothes and the knowledge and thoroughness of the staff that when I heard they were coming to Washington, DC, I booked an appointment. Once again, I was not disappointed. The brothers explained the process and made some good recommendations based on what was important to me. Non-spill, wrinkle free, cuff option, etc. They understand their trade and how to work with people.

    High Quality and Very Helpful
    Mark and his brother are extremely helpful in choosing styles and different designs. Their family has been in the business over 40 years now, and the quality is top notch. I remember visiting them the first time in Hong Kong back in 2016 and how professional they were.

    The best bespoke experience
    I have been a returning customer to Empire Tailors for over 15 years and have continued to be impressed with the quality of materials, fit and design that the have provided. After amassing a variety of bespoke formal suits and shirts over the years, I have been able to pivot and work with Mark and their expertise to have bespoke sports coats and more casual shirts made to order. They have continued to source new materials from the finest mills and extend new options for customizing your fit to the latest fashion trends and ideas. Always fit right and delivered to me within my schedule and needs- thanks to the Empire Tailors team!

    Amazing service and quality
    I was visiting Hong Kong for my 50th birthday in March 2024 and, having read the excellent reviews for Empire, decided to call in. They offered a fantastic deal for two suits and three shirts, which I accepted. The suits were manufactured within my short timeframe. The quality and fit are outstanding and I am delighted with them. I have now ordered another 8 shirts to be shipped to the UK

These are my go-to tailors in Hong Kong. At their old location they were a bit of a hidden gem, easily lost among the lower quality competitors in the neighborhood. Their new location is a proper showroom and in my opinion reflects their position amongst the best tailors in Asia. Well lit, tidy, and a unique viewing area to watch the tailoring in real time.
I’ve dealt with a number of bespoke tailors over the years and Empire’s staff has mastered the art of listening to the customer, understanding that customers unique knowledge and wants, and then using their experience in an additive manner. This is not found everywhere, even at some of the well known (and much more expensive) bespoke tailors in Europe that try to push their own style. The result that follows is quality clothes that makes you feel confident and comfortable. I’d recommend these guys to my best mate or most casual business colleague with no hesitation.

Highly recommend these guys. Great experience at an extremely good price point. Nick and Mark know their stuff and will guide you on what’s best based on your preferences e.g., I showed them a photo from their Instagram and then they tweaked it based on my stature e.g., I have one shoulder higher than the other etc.. They’re super focused, responsive and diligent. I got a suit and a shirt and will be back for more. They even worked to a tight timeline I had before a work trip, which was very kind.

Nick and Mark at Empire International Tailors were fabulous! I was in a pinch, suddenly in need of a tuxedo immediately after a short trip to Hong Kong. This team was kind, knowledgeable, and very accommodating to my short timeline. I was measured up the day I arrived at a time convenient for me, skeleton fitting not two days later, and a final fitting with a complete (and very fine) tuxedo well ahead of my departure date.
Shortly following this bespoke tux construction, I went to a blacktie event and received no shortage of compliments on the tuxedo and how perfectly it fit.
Would I buy from Empire International Tailors again? YOU’D BETTER BELIEVE IT!

I heard so many positive things about the tailoring experience with Empire, that I decided to fly out and visit their storefront in Hong Kong. They did not disappoint! Nick & Mark made the process fun and effortless. This was by far the best suit tailoring process that I’ve ever experienced. At the end of my two week visit, I had high-end/extremely well crafted suit jackets, pants and shirts that fit like a glove. That said, I will definitely be coming back to them for more tailored garments. Thank you for the wonderful job executed in tailoring my outfits. I would highly recommend Empire to any of my colleagues, without reservation.

After doing a lot of research for tailors in HK I ended up choosing Empire. Nick was great to work with and patient while we flipped thru all of the different colors and materials he had available. I decided on package B, 2 suits and 3 shirts. The master tailor worked his magic and everything came out fitting perfectly with all the extra attention to details. Don't hesitate to stop at Empire!

Highly recommended if you're visiting HK and want a bespoke suit at an excellent price!

I had a fantastic experience getting two bespoke suits and a few shirts at Empire International Tailors. Not only was the process for getting measured and fitted simple and quick, the quality of the suits and shirts I received were fantastic. Furthermore, the people at Empire were very accommodating of my schedule, since I was only in HK for four days. In those four days, they got my measurements, made a draft and had an initial fitting, and completed my suit and shirts the night before I left HK. Moreover, I got to try on the suits, and I was happy to see that they fit perfectly and were made to my precise requests.

I was very satisfied with the quality of the suits that I got and the level of service at Empire far exceeded my expectations. If you have even a few days in HK it's worth scheduling a visit with the shop. They also do tours in the U.S. and I will definitely hit them up when they stop by my city.

Empire Tailors truly provides a world class tailoring experience. The top notch service started off with timely, professional experience from when I was still overseas. Upon visiting the TsimTsa Tsui location, Anthony provided me with professional advice, choosing from a wide catalogue of fabrics colors and designs. The fitting, and the suit was made in a timely manner to work around my schedule in Hong Kong. Overall an excellent experience!
