Q: Where can I find the best tailors in Xi'an?

Finally, after a long wait, my Z visa is arriving tomorrow and my husband and I emigrate to Xi'an for, at least, 3 years as higher education teachers.

 

Since I got the job last year I have been dreaming about nice tailor-made suits since 1) I have been moving countries like crazy in the past decade and my wardrobe has been reduced to a chunk of unmatching clothes. 2) I am also quite young for a uni prof (and a woman!) and I think nice formal suits would help to look less like a 'girl' and gain authority in a crowded classroom.

 

So

- Is there any particular area where to find tailors?

- What is the price range?

- How long do they take?

- Any hope they can speak some English?

 

Thanks in advance

The best thing to do is ask locals after you arrive.

Depending on the part of the city you are located in (do you know that yet?), you can probably find one nearby

Locals will know the best (most reasonably priced) places and help you negotiate a fair price.

You will find no shortage of people offering to help when you arrive.

But don't rush into things - wait a couple of months to find the most reliable local

 

Prices will vary depending on your pocket

Times will vary - a local friend will help to ensure you are not scammed

Bring a local English speaking friend

 

you will enjoy the experience of getting good quality, perfect fitting clothes

A: Yeah, I'm on the Chinese side, too. ... maybe just because you can see
A:Yeah, I'm on the Chinese side, too. ... maybe just because you can see titles against China so often.It was amazing (LOL) to see how Chinese respect traffic rules and all ... seeing it live from around 2010 on ... Now, cops hand regulating the traffic in the main crossings, that is something else ... Picture this: "All females, 165 - 175 cm tall, skinny, dressed in all leather, black outfit. ... Dalian, 2010, outside temp. -25*C ... short-hair w/ beret, wind&all proof leather jacket&trousers, military style black boots", two at the time ... like at doubles in tennis ... except colder...LOL..When I inquire about 'all movie-star seating in traffic crossings', Chinese told me, that it is a gov. job and only the best shape counts ...
I was only walking around China, but in Liaoning, I was imagining I would be driving ..., i.e. who to watch: traffic or woman ...I would say, they must have a tonne of skirmishes and accidents, but they don't ... everything is c&d with woman dressed in black leather in the middle.I'm telling you, Chinese are different ...O.K., one more: plowing the snow, cleaning up the roads at snow fall ... Chinese carry the snow away ... it's not like at us, when they push the snow to the banks 'nd voila ... Chinese plow snow with the digger and brazzilion trucks, waiting for the snow load in a beautiful line, queue line, that's it. Truck approaches the digger, gets load of snow and drove it away to some predestine place. Many different actors, but in China it is very organized.... digger, and some 50 trucks approaching the digger for some 2' stop ... conveyer belt thingy. It's a beautiful site to see it at large, ... from distance. -- icnif77
