| What is the difference between a custom
suit / shirt from La Rukico and one I can buy at
retail? |
When you buy or
suit or a shirt at retail, you buy something that is
"off the rack" and designed to fit a wide range of
shapes and sizes. It is very unlikely that you will find
a garment that fits you perfectly. A custom suit from La
Rukico accents your best features while fitting
perfectly to your unique body shape. We also offer
additional features:
Personal embroidery into the
inside of your jacket
* Hand picked buttons and linings
* Working button holes on sleeves
* Inside arm shields
* Ticket pockets
* Additional internal pockets
* Hand cut and rolled collars
* Over 85 monogram designs for shirts
* 15 collar styles for shirts
* 10 cuff styles for shirts
We also provide you with a digital picture
and all of your personal measurements. La Rukico remains
the most professional and trustworthy Hong Kong tailor
in New York We are not fly-by-night tailors who drift
from town to town. We've been based in Manhattan since
1972. |
| |
| How much does it cost? |
Suits run from
$595 to $1195. We have over 3,000 top quality fabrics to
choose from by Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Zegna,
Loro Piana, and N.J. Ramchandani.
Shirts run from $85
to $165. We have over 2,000 luxury shirting fabrics to
choose from by Alumo, Acorn, Testa, and Thomas
Mason.
The equivalent cost of these luxury products
at a retail store would be double.

| How are La Rukico suits
constructed? |

cheaply made "fused" suits, La Rukico uses high quality
canvas in the internal construction of all of our suits.
Our master tailor, Chan Yuk Biu, oversees all elements
of the meticulous tailoring that goes into every La
Rukico suit. |
| |
| Do your shirts shrink? |
All of our
shirts are pre-shrunk, so you will continue to enjoy the
perfect fit after your shirts have been
laundered. |
| |
| What is Super 100's, 120's, 150's? is
this the only measurement of quality? |
The "Super
count" denotes only 1 aspect of a cloth's quality; It is
a measurement of the diameter of the woolen fiber that
is used to construct the cloth. Super 100's is made from
18 micron fiber. Super 120's and 150's fabrics are made
from even finer woolen fibers. The higher the Super
count, the finer the fibers. It is important to remember
that there are many other aspects to consider when
measuring the quality of a fabric. You should consider
the yarn count, the finishing, the weave construction,
the dimensional stability, and the crease resistance (to
name a few). Only genuine fabrics from mills like
Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Zegna, Loro Piana
guarantee this quality. Beware of cheap imitators who
will try to sell you fake fabrics marked with
ridiculously high Super counts. These are not genuine
fabrics and it is easy to simply feel the difference. |
