Since 1952, W.W. Chan & Sons has consistently served an exclusive niche of the elegant men of Hong Kong.
Pride in our relationships is one of our principles and so many a client has become a cherished part of the Chan family’s tailoring legacy. This practice of retaining style has regularly been descended from generation to generation; our adherence to the highest quality is what our relationships are founded on.
The Chan legacy has not only come from the original Shanghainese schools of traditional tailoring, but our house is one of the few who have preserved the dying art, knowledge and processes behind the true creation of a bespoke men’s suit. Our heritage brings the suiting to life so that it becomes an enjoyable part of yours.
When strolling the streets of Asia, many a tourist or foreigner may notice the prevalence in tailoring shops advertising “Shanghainese Workmanship” or the presence of Shanghainese staff in their backrooms. There is actually an extremely rich history behind the Shanghainese tailors, which one can learn about through the abundance of literature and records. These are the few important points that one must know: Shanghainese "Red Gang tailors
Refers to the first generation of tailors hailing from Shanghai and the first school of tailoring in China. Best practices from British, Russian, American, Japanese and Chinese tailors were incorporated into their skills before specializing in one.
Tailors from the Red Gang were formally trained and recognized in many facets of the art of tailoring. Students were enrolled around the age of 14 and studied for 3 years to learn the fundamentals and basics of high quality suitmaking.
Of these tailors, Baromon, WW Chan and a few other houses have indelible associations. WW Chan & Sons is one of the dying few which retains a direct lineage to this rich and pivotal antecedent.
