The guy that made that suit on the show is a not-so-nice guy and his price has shot up to $650ish after that episode aired. Right around the corner from his shop in TST there´s a guy named Jack at Modell Fashions who makes great suits...had six made there last October. Once you´re measured up you´re given a number and you can order anything online easily in the future. He´ll ship it to your house in the USA. $300ish. However to get a properly fitted suit you´ll have to go in for 2-3 fittings so 24hrs is tight. I´d recommend at least a few days.
OP depending on the day the W in Kowloon opens the rooftop pool to the public. It´s a perfect place to grab a bite/beer and take in the amazing HK skyline. HS Train will take you right there.
