Suit Alteration in HK

So I bought this suit online but the chest and waist is too big for me. I am going to HK this summer and would like to know if any good tailor in HK can handle alteration of a suit. I am looking for a fairly price shop. Thanks in advance.

Hey buddy,

First rule of suit shopping, never buy unless you've tried. I always try on my suits at the local stores first and then look for deals online on the same model. Anyways, considering the fact that you have made the mistake already, lets move on. The only problem I see is that suits that are "way too big" cannot be altered to fit you. Even if they are somehow fully redone, it will take a lot of money and at the end of the day, the suit will look "meh". So, my suggestion is that if you really need a suit while you're in HK, just go to a local Zara or something and pick one up for the weekend.

Remember: buying suits is a lot like dating women, they always look better online... :)

yah you are right. But when I bought this suit I was in a hurry for an internship and was not experienced enough to know what fit means. Luckily the suit was not that expensive under ($400).
