Meet the Master Tailor: Rustam Khan and His Legacy at Chinese Custom Tailor

In the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, inside Mirador Mansion, lies Chinese Custom Tailor, a shop renowned for its bespoke craftsmanship. At its helm is Mr. Rustam Khan, a seasoned master tailor with decades of experience creating high-quality, custom-made suits.

Meet Rustam Khan

Rustam Khan’s journey began in Attock, Pakistan, where he was born and raised. In 1980, he moved to Hong Kong, drawn by the city’s dynamic culture and opportunities. Before establishing himself as a tailor, Rustam spent 10 years in the fabric industry, specializing in the import of premium wool and cotton. This early career gave him an in-depth understanding of fine materials, a skill that would later become central to his tailoring work.

In 1991, Rustam transitioned into tailoring, partnering with Ray Poon, who founded the Chinese Custom Tailor shop in 1962. Over the years, Rustam took over operations and has been running the shop at its current location in Mirador Mansion for the past 15 years.

A Commitment to Traditional Craftsmanship

Rustam’s tailoring style is rooted in the traditions of Savile Row, a benchmark for custom tailoring. Rustam learnt from experienced sifus (masters) in Hong Kong; he has developed a deep respect for the skills and techniques of Shanghainese tailors, known for their precision and craftsmanship. These influences are reflected in every suit he creates.

Throughout his career, Rustam has served a diverse range of clients, from local professionals to international visitors. Notable clients include Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics NBA team and various dignitaries. Despite his impressive client list, Rustam’s approach remains the same—every customer receives the same attention to detail and dedication to quality.
