A member of the World Federation of Master Tailors, Mac Ho is now not only a very experienced and skilled tailor; he also studied at the London College of Fashion, combining the very exacting craft of tailoring with an informed outlook on fashion and aesthetics. Mac has won numerous awards in recognition of the high standards of his work, including most recently the Gold Award in a pattern-cutting convention held in South Korea. His superior skills and talent in menswear cutting earned him numerous high profile customers all over the world.
Mac, a multiple award-winning purveyor of bespoke suits, launches a new store concept and product range, Raffles Suits. While Raffles Tailor remains wholly focused on creating bespoke suits, Raffles Suits offers alteration services, accessories, and a range of ready-to-wear suits of the same name, hence opening the expertise and quality of Raffles Tailor to a wider clientele. Tapping on some 35 years’ experience as a tailor and ready to charter another horizon, Mac has created a unique line of semi-finished suits, meticulously measured and constructed to be adapted to a wide range of sizes and body shapes and sold exclusively at Raffles Suits stores. A curated selection of accessories are also available at Raffles Suits boutiques, making this a true one-stop solution to getting one’s suit fitted and made to satisfaction.
“Our ready-to-wear Raffles Suits are high quality, floating canvas, fully lined, and expertly made. As a result, our suits drape over the wearer more naturally, being less stiff, and there is better air circulation through the material, making them feel cooler and more comfortable,” says Ho. Finishing touches such as sewing and positioning of the buttons are still done by hand to ensure highest level of customization.
