The finest fabric and thread sourced from around the world, meticulous pattern matching across the entire garment, and no less than 22 stitches per inch \u2013 these are but a few of many characteristic details found in each carefully handcrafted shirt from Ascot Chang. <\/span><\/p>\n With shops in Beverly Hills, New York, Manila, and all over Hong Kong and Mainland China, it is renowned worldwide for unmistakable, lasting quality. Gentlemen of stature, luminaries of different fields comprise its clientele, as few others exhibit the skill and attentiveness to cater to the most exclusive tastes.<\/span><\/p>\n Company scion Tony Chang inherited the responsibilities of running the enterprise in 1977 to help his father Ascot, back then recovering from illness. While coming from a computer studies background, he quickly learned and became enamored with the garment business, witnessing up close the artisanship of master tailors, some of whom still make clothes for the company.<\/span><\/p>\n Tony recounts the events leading to the heritage brand\u2019s establishment. From Ascot Chang\u2019s 3-year apprenticeship in Shanghai to amassing a wealth of experience over the next 9 years, Chang established his name amongst a growing clientele that finally led to opening his first store on Kimberley Road in 1953, practically sharing in Hong Kong\u2019s history of industriousness with milestones in nearly every decade.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe are considered as one of the best shirt makers in the world,\u201d says Tony. The special focus earned the brand prominence as many early tailors focused on suits. Ascot Chang began producing suits on a large scale in 2005, as it slowly evolved into a complete men\u2019s store, carrying top brand items to go with its main product. \u201cWe are constantly working on improving our ready-to-wear offering to include a full range of clothing for the modern gentleman \u2013 from traditional suits, jackets, trousers and shirts to casual wear including polo shirts and sweaters,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n Ascot Chang\u2019s core offering however is bespoke clothing. \u201cYour body, posture, tastes, habits, and style \u2013 these are all factors that contribute to how we make your shirts,\u201d says Tony, paraphrasing one of the company\u2019s mottos. Ascot Chang considers much more customer input, engaging them in full collaboration, while other tailors merely take measurements and meet deadlines. \u201cWe care more than that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This reputation for caliber and process quickly drew in a VIP crowd, and as importantly, customers with specific interests. \u201cOur customers care about what they wear and how they look,\u201d says Tony. \u201cThey come mainly because they cannot find good fitting shirts off the shelf, or from other tailors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Ascot Chang patrons are particular about designs, fabrics, and colors, which rarely all come together, even more so in ready-made clothing. \u201cThey come into the store with something they want to achieve in mind. When you\u2019re looking for something special, a special blue or white shirt with a French cuff for instance, then you need something custom-made.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nAchieving Distinction <\/span><\/h3>\n
