Tailor Made: Chinatown's Last Tailors

In this charming documentary, brothers Bill and Jack Wong seek a successor to carry on the Chinatown business that their father started in 1913. The “Modernize” tailor shop, at one time the largest custom men’s clothier in Vancouver, may close its doors for good when the octogenarian brothers retire. As time winds down, two likely candidates emerge to take over the shop, but will either make the cut? Tailor Made is a touching chronicle of family history, post-war culture and a fading livelihood built from cloth and thread.
