Instead of stocking your closet with five $430 Paul Smith dress shirts and three $1,065 suits, buy one of each—and get them copied in different fabrics. Twice a year, Biemonte Wong’s Tailor, a respected shop based in Hong Kong, camps at the Hilton New York in midtown. Make an appointment to drop off your favorite pieces and choose from their wide range of materials. The clothes will be fabricated in Hong Kong and shipped in three weeks. Dress shirts start at $64 (shipping included) and suits at $500. E-mail wongstailor@yahoo.com.hk to get on the mailing list for their visit in March.
Annual Savings: $2,594
(Buying one Paul Smith shirt and suit and then making copies.)
