Where to tailor clothes, continued...

[BelongYJ]

1 time fitting for MTM? Where did you hear this from? Most tailors at that price point won't offer that.

With regards to the pants riding up, your pants are too short, period.

Maybe my price point not reach the standard for fitting, but as a “bespoke” tailor shop they are not really care their product. Take a look Dylan and son and WWCHAN, they always give fitting

You are expecting to have a bespoke experience when you go for the MTM option?

Jargon aside how much did you pay for ron and rich and how much do you think D&S or WWCHAN costs. Pay peanuts...

thanks i will give Rossi a shot later since it is near Meiko. Is Rossi all in house or is it out sources?

I have similar budget as yours, looking to tailor a 3pcs ( budget around 2.5k )
Did you visit Rossi, if so, would you recommend it to someone who has little knowledge on fit and fabric?

Not sure if this is the right thread. But anyone who else who lost a couple of inches at the waist? Is it possible to get the pants altered?

For pants, only bespoke tailor gives fitting, price point doesn’t matter. My Vietnam bespoke tailors charge even less and give fitting, ie zip, hook etc not added just to check the fit of fabric around the butts, length and the cut of the leg width. Normally fasten using safety pins only. but even if no fitting, ie ready to wear, tailor should still be able to accommodate adjustments and alter, even factory also allows that, and I paid only $40 for workmanship.

CMT suit: Binh Tailor, nhut bespoke tailoring/nhut tailor
No CMT suit: Phamtailor, Kim Bespoke
Good value shirts and pants and fast turnaround: Phan's Custom Tailor, August Tailor, Binh Tailor
A dark horse that I have yet to try/inspect shop: Bien Bespoke tailoring
The above shops are all mid-tier in price and good value.

Pls note: imported fabrics are expensive in Vietnam, you will likely get Dolce Taylor fabrics unless the shop stores imported fabric (unlikely at mid-tier shops because very expensive). If you make a suit, suggest making an appointment to check (sometimes shop only 1 tailor can make canvassed suit and the turnaround can be 15 days due to overwhelming demand now that tourists are flocking to Vietnam to tailor), then block your schedule 24 hrs later for basted fitting, then 72 hours later, another fitting, then 24 hours later, collect. So far, I think 6-7 days is the sweet spot for quality unless you want to ship to Singapore, which is pretty expensive. I only CMT suits, and tailor shirts there due to many reasons. If you want imported fabrics, I think you have to factor in the shipping/import time for materials to reach the tailor too. If you want to buy fabrics, check my carousell link

You can also refer to this link for info. https://thesmartlocal.com/vietnam/saigon-tailors/

When you enter the shop, look for a big table with scissors and a ruler on it, which means the tailor is a drafter and cutter. E.g Binh Tailor is a drafter and cutter. Same for nhut. Otherwise, the sewing factory is nearby too. Most tailors speak simple English, if their English is bad, they will hire a chio bu or young man who can speak better English.

Cao Minh and Sir Tailor are out of my league but it is a good experience to visit the shops, very posh and better-looking than the shops in Singapore. You can see even the woven label for the suit is hand stitched.

The pants are tailored at S$80-100 mark. Any recommendation for a suitable shop to alter the waist length?

Hi bros, new to the alteration stuff... Wish to confirm if Meng Yee can shorten sleeve length?

Thinking of getting a couple of dress shirts from uniqlo then alter there.

Yes. The boss is a tailor by training. He can take apart and remake your shirt or trousers if you need to.
