David Chan (aka the boss)
You would most likely be greeted by our
genial boss, David when you first step into our shop. David mastered his
tailoring skills during his apprenticeship when he was 18. Because of his strong
foundation in suit-making, he will personally attend to suits-related
requests which includes alteration of shoulder length,
shortening of sleeves and general custom fitting of suit. David is also skilled in
ladies costumes and he would be taking your measurements before he tailor makes
that cheongsam that you've been dreaming of.


Daniel Chan (aka Uncle Chan)
Taking helm at the shop's
outer left entrance is David's elder brother, Daniel Chan. Like David, Daniel
also endured years of apprenticeship to become a master tailor today. He now
specialises in shirt sleeve fittings and pants fittings. You may not know this,
but many years ago when Gap was still manufacturin their line of clothing in Singapore factories, Daniel was the floor manager in charge of overseeing the quality of
the sewing production.
Jane Chan
Jane is David and Daniel's sister. If you've been to
our shop, you definately can't miss her coz she packs one hell of a laugh! Jane
picked up her skills a little later than her brothers in a commercial sewing
school and is much appreciated for her skills in casual wear. Jeans and T-shirt
alterations are her specialty. You'll find Jane tucked comfortably on the right
side of the shop.
Ah Heng
Ah Heng is our speed demon and she's lightening quick
with the sewing machine. If you hear the sewing machine revving in our shop, it
will no doubtly be her on the pedals! Ah Heng is our all rounder and is
comfortable with sewing men's wear, ladies wear and casual wear. A former
classmate of David, She's now happily seated on the left of the shop, just after
Mr Daniel Chan.
Xiao Yan
Our ladies costume specialist is Xiao Yan. It takes
many years of practise before a tailor is able to comfortably handle the
delicate and sheer fabrics of ladies costumes and Xiao Yan is one of these
special tailors. To allow her to concentrate on her demanding job, Xiao Yan gets
to sit right inside on the left side of the shop. She will attend to you when
David's occupied with other customers.
Alice (aka the boss's wife)
Mrs Chan has the enviable
task of looking after our 2nd shop, Express Alteration which is situated at an
adjacent corridor. She gets to tend her own shop space, decides what radio
channel to listen to for the day and comes over to the main shop whenever more
help is required. Mrs Chan specialises in uniform and jeans alteration and is
picking up more tailoring skills from none other than the boss David
himself.
