Vietnam - Tailors

Well, I have been busy researching Tailors in Vietnam, I have spoken to many people and the general concensus is that you get what you pay for. and be prepared, that is unless you want to spend all of your time in Vietnam in the Tailors.

• Allow a couple of days for the garments to be made.
• Take as many pictures of the garment with you as you can.
• Be very clear about what you want.
• Be wary of silk linings in suits etc (they may not be colorfast).
• Shoes are good but the length of time they will last is directly proportional to how much you pay for them (that could be said anywhere in world though).
• Dont be tempted to order 10 of the same thing because the price is so good (it will still be in your wardrobe unworn in 2 years time).
• Dont be too tempted to buy silk items, they are great in vietnam, but honestly how much silk will you wear once you get home,. (You could always recycle it for curtains).
• If you do buy something allow plenty of time before you leave Vietnam to have it altered, just in case it doesnt fit.
