Asia is known to Westerners as a low cost place for tailored clothing. Usually, when people speak about buying tailored suits abroad, Hong Kong and Thailand are the places mentioned. It might not be so well known that Taipei is home to a myriad of highly skilled tailors who provide original clothing items and a custom-fit tailoring experience, at extremely reasonable prices. Given the proximity to one of the world's largest textile manufacturers, it makes sense.

The shop has maintained its success by meeting the needs of European and Japanese business travellers for decades. Not only serving travellers, James Lee has garnered a very loyal patronage of Taiwanese residents too. Listed among James Lee's more high profile clients, are a string of local public figures and celebrities.
James Lee's suits store is located within the Ambassador Hotel. The friendly staff are extremely helpful and will gladly guide the first-timers through the process.
