Thumb Thimble Bespoke tailoring since 1958 Story

Tsang Kwong and his brother Tsang Lok, both trained in Yee On Tai, started Chung Hing Tailor in 1958.

Our team is now leaded by William Tsang, the eldest son of Tsang Kwong. In 2018, Thumb Thimble is adopted as the English name of our house. This small tweak of the thimble denotes the Promethean spirit of the Cantonese tailors and helps stitch comfortably. William, who witnessed the heyday and nadir of the industry, dedicates his life to bespoke tailoring. For more than half a century, he experime

nts different approaches while upholding the traditional craftsmanship, and further develops a more contemporary style. In his new venture, he hopes to train a new generation of tailors to continue the trade. Eric Law met Master Tsang by chance and started learning the basic of cutting and tailoring. Impressed by his master’s persistence in continuously improving the tailoring craft and enthusiasm in training a new generation of tailors, he decided to assist master to relaunch the apprentice programme. Shirley Lee is our first apprentice in 40 years. After completing the tailoring course in CITA, she went on working in a renowned menswear brand and gained further experience on placement in a tailoring workshop. She is also passionate about costume and fluent in Japanese.

Button fly trousers are not very popular in Hong Kong but there are always enthusiasts looking for this particular style. We would like to add a bearing button under the waistband at the centre front. The watch pocket is sewn on the seam after pressing the waistband seam open. This prevents the pocket from gapping. More and more customers prefer an extended waistband design. Since a client particularly requested the angles of the side adjusters shall resemble angle of the waistband, we changed the pattern of the adjusters. For this classic style, we stick to finish everything with hand stitching to reinforce the more delicate parts of the trousers.
