    Starwood Tailor

    Posted by Jasonfuson 11 November 2009

    Pricing comes first when buying a suit in Bangkok. I was really lucky to spot this place. It's a small shop with great quality and great variety to choose from located opposite the newly opened Le Meredien in Bangkok near the Patpong Night life market and shopping centers. I paid 4000 Bht for a suit here and 800 Bht for a shirt and have drycleaned them three times and they are still in perfect condition.

    English cuts in Bangkok

    Posted by Frey 11 January 2009

    I ordered a custom-made suit and shirt from Savilerow in mid-April 2008. I expressed at that time that I needed this order in time for my son's upcoming wedding on 17 May. Once they were aware of my deadline, Savilerow did all in their power to expedite the order. I received my suit and shirt from Savile row on 9 May and am extremely pleased with the results.
    The suit's workmanship is wonderful - the fabric is superb and the tailoring is of utmost quality. As a repeat customer, I've come to expect nothing less from Savilerow. Past orders have exhibited the same craftsmanship shown in my most recent order.
    Once again, Savilerow is to be commended for their outstanding service and speed of delivery. They have exceeded my expectations on more than one occasion and I would highly recommend them to all who are seeking customized tailoring at a modest cost.

    To try Bangkok tailor

    Posted by jeffpowell 9 January 2009

    Few things about tailors in Thailand.
    Tailors in the west will only tailor clothes for you from fabric that you purchased from them. In the east some tailors would accept fabrics. It is recommended you buy the whole suit from your tailor including the fabric.
    You must ask them to recommend something that they would say would tailor nicely, not just blindly get the highest count that you can afford.
    Get a wool suit while in Bangkok. Wool generally makes a good suit. It drapes nicely, tailors well and looks formal and nice. Contrary to popular belief, light weight wool is even good for the summer and in most cases better than polyester blended fabrics.
    In Bangkok the famous among the local expats would be Excelsior tailor.
    A must visit shop by the delegates and embassy staff in Bangkok.

    Narry and Aron (father and son) cannot be beaten. They are truly amazing. Especially Narry with his butter soft English and the just mind-numbing ability to remember everyone's name! Having a few suits from them is almost a right of passage for us in the Department of Defense and the protective and investigative services. Walking into their shop is like walking into a museum of US intelligence agencies.

    And they make damn fine suits and custom shoes. They even fit them to better conceal whatever weapon you may be carrying.

    Savile Row tailor

    Posted by jesse2 11 April 2008

    I have been slowly upgrading my wardrobe. I have proceeded cautiously because I know that 90% of the tailors here are ripoffs and most people bought a suit based on the advice of the tout sitting outside the shop or from a Thai airways in-flight magazine ad.

    Thankfully, there is an antidote to the Bangkok ripoff tourist tailor. I was recommended this place by an AAAC member. It's far away from the Sukhumvit Road tailors and really a world apart. I imagine this guy could hold his own against the best of the UK or Italy.

    This is the tailor shop that the highest echelons of Thai society use.

    I had a midnight blue tuxedo made there and it turned out beautifully. I probably broke some rules with the burgundy lining but I couldn't resist
    the color when I was given the lining samples.

    I had an initial fabric selection and then three fittings as the garments progressed. His fabric selections are limited but are of the highest quality.

    A suit from July Tailor will cost 4000 - 12000 baht.

    I have always seen another Farang (foreigner) in there. His work is in the upper echelons and his prices are much more reasonable than even the best tourist tailors. That being said, they are still lower than a good canvassed off-the-rack suit in the USA.
