Heritage & Philosophy

Founded in 2010, Dylan & Son traces its origins back several decades. The family’s tailoring journey began in the late 1970s, when Peter Chong established Oriental Tailor. Supporting him in the shop was his wife, Mdm. Wong, a talented seamstress who contributed greatly to  the business during its early years.

 

In 2010, their son Dylan took the reins of the family business and led a complete rebranding, including a new name. Peter transitioned to the role of cutter, while Dylan took charge of front-of-house operations. In his free time, Dylan began learning the fundamentals of cutting from his father. By 2013, renowned master tailor Mr. Thomas Wong had taken Dylan under his wing, helping to refine and advance his cutting technique. Today, after over a decade of hands-on experience, Dylan has managed to create a distinct stylistic taste to his cut.

Rather than adhering rigidly to a specific 'house cut', Dylan & Son prefers to focus on achieving a balanced and proportionate silhouette that enhances the wearer’s natural shape. Their approach blends English structure with Italian ease — favoring a touch of structure and definition for formal tailoring, while embracing softness and comfort in more casual jackets.
