Try this:
Shanghai South Bund Soft-Spinning Material Market. (Fabric Market for short).
There are three full floors of at least 50 shops each. Selling clothing materials, ready made jackets, ties, anything that you wear (even underwear but except condoms!) You can get a good bargain there. One OP walked in with 3900 RMB (Approx US$490) and came out with order of tailor made:
1) Overall Jacket (Cashmere) = 1000RMB
2) One set of Tuxedo (Suit and Pants) = 900 RMB
3) 4 shirts (2 X Tuxedo style, 2 X normal shirts) = 500 RMB
4) One waist length Leather Jacket (real leather) = 1200 RMB
5) 5 X Wool Scarves = 300RMB
I think search will also get more detail information re other shops in the same Market....this topic has been discussed in past.
