john and mary

Easy to remember name huh? John and Mary owns a custom tailor shop in
the sprawling Fabric Market at South Bund here in Shanghai. And so we
went with a friend of ours.... I ordered a replica of my Sands shirt
and my Zegna linen black pants. The price including material and the
tailor for a total of RMB 300. Yes, RMB 300. And I have proof of my
order. Here you go! The materials were from books that were the same
as Maxwell (for those who ordered along with me in Regina would
remember).

This shop specializes in making shirts, pants and jackets. So if
quality is good, I'll order my replacement for raincoat and an
overcoat. Last I heard, the overcoat with cashmere with high quality
stitch work is about RMB 600. Lined.

Stay tune for an update at the end of this month when I pick up the
product.

Iron-wife took her fabric there to have a set made, jacket and skirt.
The cost came to RMB 200.00. Yes, 200.

Exchange rate: CAD 1 to RMB 6.686 today.
