Master tailor Thomas Wong is carefully tracing a razor-sharp pair of scissors around some indigo suit fabric at his atelier on the third floor of a shophouse along Boat Quay.
The 69-year-old’s deft fingers barely rest in between all the snipping, marking and measuring required for a suit jacket to take shape.
Despite the constant clicking of the camera shutter and the prying eyes of this journalist, he continues his work with a singular focus – the sort of concentration that invariably sets apart masters from mere tailors.
