If you’re looking to buy a suit in Bangkok, it can seem like both an exciting and daunting task. Bangkok has so many tailor shops, but which one should you choose for your suit? How do you know what to expect in terms of quality from a particular shop?
Let us guide you on five factors worth considering when choosing a tailor for your suit in Bangkok; here’s what you should keep in mind as you navigate between options to choose a suitable tailor. From fabric selection to customisation and craftsmanship, discover how to get a well-tailored suit – one that exudes elegance and sophistication.
1: Experience: It’s hard to go wrong with a tailor with extensive experience. After all, this time will have allowed them to master their tailoring techniques over several decades and cater to each and every client as a unique individual, with their own requirements and preferences.
2: Reputation: This may go hand in hand with experience. If they’ve been around for a long time, they’re probably a pretty reputable choice to begin with. If you’re not a Bangkok resident, it may take some additional effort and diligence to discover the true reputation of a tailor, as some information should not be taken at face value.
3: Fabric selection: Some tailor shops may have a limited number of fabrics for you to choose from due to their business model, but in many cases it is reasonable to assume that a good quality tailor with a large client base will have plenty of options for you to choose from, for different garment types and catering to different budgets. Many reputable tailors pride themselves on their wide range of fabric choices which allows you to find the ideal combination of comfort, durability, and style for you. After all, a suit designed for you should be a true reflection of your individuality, while allowing you to feel comfortable and confident in your own clothes.
4: Quality of craftsmanship: Skilled craftsmanship is paramount when it comes to a well-tailored suit. Try and seek out tailors renowned for their quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail. This may be difficult with the amount of misinformation online, so you might have to make your way to at least a few tailor shops to get a feel for their suits – or suit options in cases where they cater to different budgets.
5: Style advice and truly personalised consultations: Seek out tailors that offer personalised consultations where they aim to understand each of your requirements – such as the purpose of your suit purchase, how often you intend on wearing it, in what sort of environment, etc.; and take meticulous measurements while working with you to understand what sort of fit you are comfortable with. It’s normal to want your clothes a bit tighter here and a bit looser there, for example. This all sets the foundation for a well-fitted suit that really exudes elegance.
Of course, it is hard to critique a tailor shop on some of these factors (such as personalised consultations) without first visiting their shop yourself, so it could also be worth communicating your requirements to them beforehand via email and learning about who you will be working with for your custom-tailored suits. Likewise, it’s not always possible to predict how good a suit will be but this should ideally help you narrow down your search for a reliable suit tailor in Bangkok.
