Anyway, i'm finally back to my hotel and it's time for me to post my official review of my tailor-escapade here in Bangkok. My stay here was for 6 days 6 nights with the sole purpose of making my workwears.
Maybe to start off, just a disclaimer that this is solely my opinion and i'm not paid in whatsoever way to write this review. In this review, I will take the photos I've taken photos of myself with the final products as a form of testimony for the bros here to have a reference rather that just recommending and not having an idea what's going on.
Jesse & Son
Location: Opposite of Terminal 21, Asok BTS. Along the stretch of The Westin Bangkok.
Appt made: Monday 10.30am
Final Product received: Thursday 6pm
Jesse and Son is a family-run business with Manop, the son, leading the business. Manop himself, prior to the tailoring business, has been in the fashion industry for about 10 over years working with big brand names before settling down to run this shop with his father. Manop is able to provide you with sound advice when required and he is not pushy about selling you a material. In fact, he stopped me from buying a wool tie when i shared with him that I'm an abuser to my ties.
On Monday, when I meet him for the second time, we did a review of what we've spoken on last month (when i first walked into the shop, and shared with him that I'm here to look around and he educated me with the types of fabrics in the shop he have). I stick to my previous choice of the 12500baht (which is now 13000 baht since the price has increased). Manop was kind enough to charge me the price that he quoted me previously as a gentleman agreement. Impressive! The whole measurement and the details required for the suit took me about an hour and a half. At this point of time, what I've made was just a suit (jacket + pant) and a 1500 baht cotton shirt.
I came back on Tuesday evening around 6pm to do my first fitting. The shirt and pants have been adequately completed but of a much larger size. Manop advised me that this is usually their practice as once it has been made bigger, it is easy to scale down. And I do agree very much as well because once you've put the clothes on, that's where you'll be able to see where the amendments should be made. The jacket was semi completed but I am very happy to know that the main part of the jacket has been adequately completed. The length of the jacket as well as the markings are on as well.
Wednesday, I've been asked to come back for a final fitting to see how the whole suit blends in. The suit was pretty well made, but for someone like me, I am at times, very meticulous and anal about how it should be worn. But having to voice this out to Manop, Manop shared with me that he's glad to know because being very straightforward with him, makes his job a much easier task. At this juncture, Manop and I have clicked pretty well and we were already crapping about lots of stuffs. While I had some adjustments that I've wanted to make, Manop spotted some as well and we've sent in for a final adjustments before collection.
Thursday (which was just hours ago), I've picked up the set from him, wore it and I have to say it is above my expectation. Here's a picture of the set that I've made for the bros here to see. Face cropped because I looked like someone kenna buang by a car.
P.S: Please pardon my double button on my blazer as well as the fat tummy. If any bros who kinda know who am I, please keep quiet hor (I've knew of some sinkies over the last few days making their stuffs in the shop).
