well, i know that Sam's Tailor and wwchen & son's are one of the top professionals about that stuff. Considering all the fabrics imported from European countries and really fine cutting skills, the price is not that low. For the suit, it is usually started from 6000RMB to up. The shirts are 680RMB for each. Buy two, get one free.
The two shops are both run by Mr chen from Hongkong, they are located on Maoming South Road, near the corner of Huihai zhong lu.
Good Luck:)

Thank you, I know them, but made a bad experience, as more often I went to them they increased the price ( by 30%) for the same. I'm looking for someone more serious...,

oh, i am sorry to hear that:( what about Dave's Custom Tailoring located on No. 6, 288 Wuyuan Lu, Shanghai, China?
Actually, I haven't been there before. But I have heard that the price is much more reasonable and the quality is also good. Maybe you can have a try there:)

mrs, I've had my suits made at a tailor shop in Xujiahui Ascendas Plaza on Tian Yao Qiao Road. The shop called US POLO ASSN which run by a Hong Kong Tailor. Price are reasonable and quality is fine. I had two sets of suits, two shirts, two ties and two cufflinks at RMB6000.
