In Hong Kong, the reputed home of the 24 hour suit, a visit to Sam's is a tourist must, for VIP's and vacationers alike. Hong Kong's legendary Sam's Tailor is famous world-wide for its unquestioned reputation for quality and discretion - and a clientele seemingly culled from the pages of the International Who's Who. Few of Hong Kong's annual nine million tourists and business visitors have not heard of Sam's.

Many make a beeline for its Burlington Arcade premises on Kowloon's Nathan Road (the "Golden Mile" of tat-to-terrific bargains). Sam's is as much an institution in Hong Kong as Macy's in New York or Harrods in London. Its location in one of the smaller territories on earth is no bar to the patronage of kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers and widely assorted glitterati.

Manu Melwani, Hon Phd., Medal of Honour and Justice of the Peace (HK) and recipient of Belgium's Knight of the Order of the Crown, has gradually become somewhat of a celebrity in his own right. Steady Sam, as he is called, has grown the business into a global brand, and picked up honours and achievements along the way. Recently Hong Kong issued a commemorative stamp, which featured Sam’s Tailors. This marked a pinnacle of Manu turning Sam’s into a Hong Kong institution.
