It turned out my colleague was a very aggressive haggler. He boasted with pride how he had bargained down the price of this suit. It was the same method he used when buying from street-side stalls elsewhere in Asia.
I referred a colleague to a tailor in Hong Kong because he admired my suit and wanted one of similar quality.
My colleague was very disappointed with the result, and I must admit, I could see why. It seemed very strange, so I delved a little further into the events.
