Chan Tuck was in operation during the 1960s but I was not aware they did military uniforms as well as civilian dress. I had a dinner jacket made by them (their quality was renowned) circa 1967. Eventually it became too small (cannot think why) and I had to replace it in the 1990s. A lot of expat HKU staff used Chan Tuck.

My very first suit came from Chan Tuck! I was about 14 or 15 (1968/9) and my father was to be invested at Government House with the OBE for services to education overseas, so I was duly presented to the tailor (upstairs if memory serves) who measured me and I collected the suit a week or so later (after a fitting session during the interim).  They were still in operation several years later in the early 70s because I had several shirts and pairs of trousers made there.  I think there was also a record/music shop next door, possibly Moutries?

I am a collector of old Hong Kong buttons and would love to get hold of a Chan Tuck Navy button for my collection.

If anyone has a spare I would like to hear from them.
