Tailored Suit

How long does it take to get a custom, tailored suit made in Bangkok?

How many visits do you need to make to the store for measurement and etc...?

We will be in bangkok for 2 nights at the beginning of our trip (travelling south around islands for 2 weeks) and then 2 nights at the end of our trip, will need to know if i have enough time to get a few made.

Is it best to ship them home? I live in Vancouver, Canada

Any idea how much it is to ship to Vancouver canada from bangkok? Will most likely be shipping a big box home of Clothes...

any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Just noticed that you will be travelling South Thailand.

Dont worry too much about getting your clothes made up in Bangkok in a rush. Islands in South Thailand that cater to tourist have many tailor shops that can provide you with custom made clothings within a day or two if needed.

My advice is to always spare a few days for fittings say 2-4 so that your tailor gets a chance to make any alterations if needed before providing you with the fisnished products.

I would avoid the shipping of clothes because they will add up to the cost and the finished product.

If you are happening to visit Koh Samui then visit

Timmys Masschneider in Chaweng Beach next to Chaba Cabana Hotel.

I had a few friends of mine visit him in the past and they were very satisfied with the quality and worksmanship.

4 nights that you have is enough for a tailored suit cuz you%26#39;ll have the first 2 to decide on fabrics and possibly a first fitting and when you do get back you have time for the remaining fittings. If you can%26#39;t get them done up in time, shipping home is an option.

If in Bangkok, I%26#39;d also recommend Crown Tailors on suk 8 as the place for you to head. They would do a good job.

Thank-you for your response, I quickly checked out the website and it looks good.

Any idea or approx price i may pay for say a hugo boss or armani style/fabric suit? here they cost approx $1000-$2000 cdn

US $ 200-250 for a reasonable one is good anything in the cheap range is probabily 100% polyester - the advice if you are getting one in BKK look around in a few shops as I have also heard of people getting ripped.

$250 sounds about right for a good suit!.

Note that the cost will totally depend on the material used! My tailor is using the also the finest good materials ans of course he has also the local standard basic materials too.

This is my/our normal procedure as well: recommend to go to the tailor as the first thing in BKK, have one fitting before leaving for the islands and after return, one more fitting.

Collect the clothing before departure as if you ship the home, there will also be taxes added to the value.

I have been using the same tailor now 19-20 years and he%26#39;s the only one I trust. You can ask more info if needed. Remember also that all taikors adverising suits, trousrds, skirts for 100-1200 usd are not reliable ans cheap n good does still not exist. Tailors next to or in connection to hotels are usually tourist traps!

Bangkok is always the best place to get suits made since they cater the business section of the Thailand.

My friends and the expats that i know normally use Excelsior and all of them have been happy it is best you have 2 initial fitting before you leave for the islands.

From Thailand it is best to use the normal post which is not that expensive.

You can check the rates at www.thailandpost.co.th

Its best to make an appointment before you go.

I have tried many tailors in bangkok and was the most happy at Excelsior and would surely recommend them once again.

Hello,

Why don`t you buy it from any shop, now many online stores are also selling custom tailored suits, they fits well and look cool.
