For locals and visitors alike, getting a suit stitched in Hong Kong's bustling Kowloon district has always been a popular activity. The ability to put one together in 24 hours has earned the city's tailors a global reputation for speediness. However, many believe that the idea of such reckless speed defeats the whole purpose of getting a suit tailor made. Tucked away in the quieter part of Kowloon, Empire International Tailors practices a timely yet more delicate form of bespoke tailoring. Since its founding in 1983 by Anthony Asaf the eldest of three brothers, the family-run business has distinguished itself with a philosophy focused on quality and personalization. Overseen by Anthony himself, each garment is handmade in Empire’s Hong Kong tailor workshop by master tailors with an average of 40 years in the field. Measurements, fit requirements, and other individual details are carefully studied to mold a well-fitted and comfortable garment for the wearer. Empire’s successful approach to bespoke tailoring has helped it earn it's reputation as a favored and reliable spot in Hong Kong’s world-famous tailoring scene.
