Jantzen Tailor - The Last Handmade Shirtmaker in HK?

@shirtingfantasy has noticed about Jantzen handmade shirts since 2018.

This lovely advertisement has been totally forgotten until recently - when a sartorial friend sent @shirtingfantasy some interesting photos of a "handmade" shirt which cost only HKD 400 for making:

From faint memory [1], @shirtingfantasy gave some lukewarm remarks about the craftsmanship. Then of course, the photos were kept as a sort of "teaching material" [2].

These were again forgotten until an Instagram sponsored post randomly came up today:

Note @shirtingfantasy's comment. It is moderate and polite, relatively speaking.

Less than 5 minutes after @shirtingfantasy's comment, a reply caught him by surprise:

See pop-up at the top. Guabello colours are beautiful, but irrelevant. 

And an interesting conversation began:

"What sort of long seam?"

"How about I show you Sannino?" (wicked grin)

Jantzen asked if I am "Hongkongnese".
Due to National Security, I cannot affirm his dangerous statement. I am a Chinese, of course!!!

Courage is when you have never tried something but say you can.

"But no CMT please..."

@shirtingfantasy will give them a visit soon. The curious [3] reader should stay tuned.



Until then, goodbye!
