The tailors of Hong Kong are world-famous. You may have seen films depicting past eras showing a Chinese businessman wearing an intricately embroidered suit made from silk, typically cream-colored. Formely, men's silk suits were only for the rich. They were warm in winter, cool in summer. That Chinese businessman from the film would be wearing a similar suit, only lighter, in the summer, because silk breathes and allows you to stay cool. Nowadays, silk suits are not merely owned by the wealthy. Nothing looks quite so stylish and sophisticated on a summers evening than a man wearing a beautifully tailored silk suit. The art of business has definitely gone through some major change, and with that so has changed the suit men wore to their pace of industry. Affordability came into play, and wool combined with silk offered warming and cooling capabilities at a much cheaper cost, thus creating the smart suit. A suit made of pure silk would surely create the best cut and hang, it was too expensive for everyone except the wealthy. The pairing of wool and silk allowed more men to get a good suit at a comfortable price. A authentic men's silk suit, while being very tricky to manufacture and far from cost effective has often been left to the hands of only the most skilled tailors for creation. One of these suits fashioned to perfection would be extremely expensive but at the same time could potentially last forever, assuming the body shape of the wearer stay the same. Modern times are different. A silk suit, despite still being considered a luxury item is much more affordable to the masses. Designs have altered. Business and social suits can be made from pure silk, the only difference being the extra touch of class, feel and elegance. It's still possible to pop into the Hong Kong tailors shop for measuring, return the next day for a fitting and alterations, and have your new silk suit delivered to your hotel room 24 hours later. And at a very affordable price. And this is not confined to Hong Kong. This type of service is now available all around the world. I hope by now you realize that you no longer have to be a wealthy man from China to own a silk suit. Feel free to pick one up for yourself and wear it all summer long.
