Cost over a lifetime [edit]. Say a person lives 78 years [9] , and you take the average cost of living from BLS. Over 78 years, one spends an average of about $1.6 million dollars just to survive. Of this, one spends about $1M on housing, food, and cars ($12683 per year * 78).
Know what you're paying for. The most exclusive Hong Kong tailors, who design and make your garment in-house, will charge $500 to $800 for a top-of-the-line man's suit and $100 to $175 for labor alone on women's pants, dresses and jackets.he most exclusive Hong Kong tailors, who design and make your garment in-house, will charge $500 to $800 for a top-of-the-line man's suit and $100 to $175 for labor alone on women's pants, dresses and jackets.
Be prepared for at least 2-3 fittings. For a suit I would recommend even 3-4 fittings. Saying this means that you should plan your stay accordingly (at least for 3 days) in Hong Kong. The tailors are quite flexible with their working hours.Itâs not a problem to stop by before or after a sightseeing day in Hong Kong.e prepared for at least 2-3 fittings.
