on 5/18/2009 this is good to know about the pre information for buying a custom suit from these asian country.i too have experinced due to frequent visits to some of these countries.you need to be careful about the fabric and actual display of colors in different lights.last but not least the collars and cuffs do matter to a perfect custom suit to a gret extent. sharing my experience with all of you i would say that i have been rather lucky to have found a matching custom tailor for me in bangkok. jiodar custom tailors' services are truely matching with the above mentioned informations.and i would suggest all the readers and my friends also to get them for custom suits at WWW.JIODAR.COM.which provides a complete platform for custom suits and custom shirt,and convenient payment options and delivery give the best value to our money.

on 1/15/2009 Being in the clothing industry for a while now, I realized that top quality raw materials is just 10% of total cost of tailor made shirts. Labor and "branding" make up the rest. If you get low cost labor, that leaves branding to consume majority of the cost. Branding includes marketing like endorsements and other marketing expenses. However, these days, due to internet technology, Tailor made shirts are now affordable. You can even create your own shirts online for just US$29.95 and have it delivered at your doorstep. read up on this blog http://ModernTailor.blogspot.com

on 6/14/2008 My wife and I were in bangkok in June. We were happy to have found Aron, at Savile RowTailors in Rose hotel, 118 suriwong road near patpong street.,bangkok thailand. We had numerous trousers,suits and shirts made and are impressed with the quality of tailoring and materials.As Aron has our details,we are able to order our future requirements from Norway. They do a lot of work for the US Navy and has a very high return rate. They will also keep your measurements on file and send you other garments if you contact them from home.

Aron is a very nice man who we are happy to recommend to anyone who like good clothes.

Enjoy your trip.

on 3/11/2008 I've been doing extensive research on tailors in Bangkok and I'm getting tired of reading all of these shilling posts for Crown Tailors. Shilling is when an employee of a company that produces a specific product praises the product anonymously in a discussion forum or group in order to generate interest in that product or service (Wikipedia)

Crown Tailors does not have great word of mouth like Raja's or Rajawongse's and other reputable tailors in Bangkok, save for several glowing reviews all written in the same style with odd phrasing and grammatical mistakes. This implies that the posts were all written by the same person and English is not the person's first language. It's obvious that someone with a conflict of interest is promoting this establishment.

I would hate to see someone get suckered into paying hundreds for a mediocre suit because of this. Good tailors don't need

on 12/3/2007 i made few suits in bangkok

on 1/5/2007 After many considerations of tailors in Bangkok, I fell upon this site for advice and took the advice of the Crown Tailors. I realised that finding the right tailor in Bangkok wasn't easy. I also realised that the best way to go about getting one would probably be by using a recommended tailor in Bangkok. I must say I was very impressed with the quality and service I received and because my clothes turned out so great and I was highly impressed with their work, I will second the opinion of getting clothes tailored at Crown Tailors while in Bangkok.

on 7/20/2006 We just returned from a three week tour of Vietnam. I must say that of three shops we went to, Yaly's was by far superior. The first, recommended by our hotel, turned out to be relatives of the hotel staff who made a shirt with buttons that fell off before I had worn it back to the hotel.

But on repeated recommendations from travelers we encountered before we got to Hoi An, both my wife and I had clothes made at Yaly'. Their fabric selection is extensive and varied, and the sales girls were attentive and friendly without being overbearing. They made helpful suggestions both initially and in the fitting for our clothes the next day. They called in their (non-English speaking) tailor for both initial measuring and final fitting, and this ensured a perfect fit. I initially had a casual shirt and wool/cashmere blend business suit made, and liked the fit of the pants so well the next day that I ordered a pair of linen travel pants. Everything was finished and perfect, and as promised delivered to our hotel on the third day.

While at the shop I observed other people also being helped courteously and attentively, whether they were only getting one item made or a closet full. The level of English spoken by the sales staff was more than adequate, and considering the range of English accents they encounter, certainly commendable.

I brought back some fabric samples, which Yaly's also has on file, and intend to order more clothes through their web site, as they have detailed measurements and front, side and back photos now.

While there are no doubt other excellent tailors in Hoi An, we didn't have the time to search them out, but we definitely found it worth while to go to Yaly's.

on 6/30/2006 I just returned from Hoi An. I spent 8 days in Hoi An, so I had plenty of time to check out the myriad of tailors. I approached the task in the following way:
I first set out to find the cost of quality tailoring and then the cost of cloth offered. I found both varied considerably. Once I had established the cost of good quality tailoring, I then set out to find the best cloth for a suit, three pairs of casual trousers and three shirts. I found only the higher end shop had the higher quality material. On advice, I took a good fitting pair of trousers and shirt with me and got them to make the new articles to the same. I found YALY and THU THUY could not match the price based on similar quality and the cashmere cloth I required. I used A Don Silk for the suit and trousers and Silk Road for the shits and was very happy with the outcome for my $300.

on 4/3/2006 I recently spent a few days in Bangkok, Thailand for a good shopping spree before heading down to Phuket to get a nice tan. Talking about tailors, another reason why I was in Bangkok was to get a couple of suits made and a lot of shirts made. Walking down the streets of Sukhumvit showed me that I had a variety of choices of shops to enter. And enter I did, quite a couple of shops to see the price differences. But alas, the prices were pretty much the same, but the one shop that caught my attention was this shop "Crown Tailor" on Sukhumvit Road Soi 8, about 50m in the Soi. Every other shop that I went in gave me a price, but alas, this shop did not only give me a price but spoke to me in a very convincing manner. I did not have to worry about the service at all. The tailor there was willing to give me every bit of help I needed and was willing to answer any question I asked him. He even allowed me as many fittings as I wanted before I finally agreed on the suits (I am very picky on my sizes), and was willing to help without the least bit of moaning. Along with the finest tailoring in the Oriental tradition that I have seen in a while, the service was amazing. He even offered to help me speak to the tour guides to get the good packages to get me down to Phuket at a reasonable price. And therefore, because of all this, I spent quite a fair bit of money there and till now still think of Crown Tailors every time I wear my suit (which is still is tip-top shape 8 months down the line). So anyone looking for a good tailor with good experience and excellent service, head on down to Crown Tailors, on Sukhumvit road Soi 8, Bangkok. Fantastic stuff I must say, and anytime I head on down to Bangkok again, the first place I'll be visiting will be this place.
