I TAILORED a bespoke men’s suit in Bangkok, Thailand! 

Thanks for the encouragement Sam!

The guy is a decendant of alibaba 😂 that us why they are good

😂

You mean perfect English with an American accent

Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching 😀

Thanks for watching 👋

Yeah, he’s been in it a long time, thanks so much for watching!

Thanks! I’m actually very happy with the fit and construction, the quality of the fabric on the shirts is probably my biggest regret so far. Itchy.

Did you buy it? 😂

conor mcgregor made that famous

Ha ha you’re revealing your age 😅 I used to get it more back in the day for sure 👍🏼 thanks for watching!

@@on.theworld 👍😎 Watched Seinfeld in 2020. It was the quarantine lunchbreak ritual. Seinfeld started before I was born 😅, I'm really curious about 90's. Also a really Funny show.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you 😊

Thanks for watching

Thanks!

Thanks will try 👍

Good idea, have you done that?

@@on.theworld yes, it a very interesting experience. But very expensive and time consuming.

Interesting.

Look at 28:41 in the video, the sleeve near the shoulder wrinkles to much

Thank you

Thanks 🙏

I believe most tailors can do casual clothing if you ask. It’s best if you have a sample of some thing for them to copy. This was my first time tailoring in Bangkok, so I wish I knew more details for you. Thanks for watching!

😂 got a recommendation for somewhere else to try?

He was over-charged. Scammed ? How ?

No disrespect BUT you're just a cheap person. I really want to see you walk into a tailor shop in London and tell them they scam people...

🙏

Yes vs fully fused

How much in addition was the half fuse? Thanks!

Thanks for your input Paul 🙏

Would you happen to have the name of the tailor you speak of

Yes link is in description

Narin is really good, but this customer here is totally clueless. He acts like a stupid child…disgusting to see that.

@@boltthrower3215 Thanks I'll try Narin

Thanks for watching 👍

👍

Yep quite sturdy

They can do it in as little as one week, for me it took longer because I was traveling a lot

Honestly, the shirt is still pretty itchy after a few months I can’t really recommend.

Haha thanks Benny. Yes, a lot of the comments ignore the fact that I knew exactly what I was buying, and even explain why I prefer half canvas to fully canvas. (If you watch the full video 😅) Yes, the price is inclusive of the shirts. I did the mid grade half poly half wool. If anybody knows a truly better deal, not just a cheap place, I would love to try that one next. But I thought it seemed reasonable and knowledgeable for the price.

Glued. They do offer sewn at an extra cost

Glued for 20000 bhat!!! even I know that's a terrible deal @@on.theworld

Thank you so much for the encouragement as always Mark. For Italian fabric that still is about 70% cheaper or more than what you would pay in London, so believe it or not it’s a good deal 😂 I was also really impressed with his knowledge and his ability to talk about it.

@@on.theworld Londons Saville Row is done and will disappear. Other countries are way better and London only lives by its historical reputation.

$650

$600 all in

Whats your fav place to go there?

Thanks man! Its about $600

$600

Which shop would you recommend going to next time?

Thanks!

😅

Which shop should I try?

Yeah, but would they be the same quality (not that this one was particularly stellar) or would they be un-canvassed glue jobs ?

Which shop?

Who is the manufacturer of the wool ?

@@russianwolfhound1 dormeuil.

@@alexn4255 A very decent wool. Did you get your suit from Tailor on Ten by any chance ?

Where would you go instead?

@@on.theworld where would I go? I won't go anywhere but I must ask him discount cos I have experience but as I said its own choices right.

Thanks for your comment 👍

@@Hanto_san the suit pattern is wrong, meaning what, this suit or all suit patterns. Right at the very beginning you've got to get the material correct. Asia is full of polyester blend material presented as 100% wool. Don't take any notice of the label, they've got fake stuff out of China all over the place because it's cheap and if you're not switched on they'll rip you off. The right material is vital, if you can't get that right you might as well wear a pair of jeans.

@@Hanto_san I'm Australian and you're European so you should know this better than me. The best cloth is English or Italian so if you're in Bangkok that's the cloth you should use...stay away from Asian Mills. As to the lapels that's another story which I won't cover here...make sure you get the cloth right, of course it's more expensive....pay the extra, I would.

@@Hanto_san I'll cut a long story short. I disagree with you, the material is everything. Italian and English fabric are high quality but expensive and you can't fake it by using an inferior material.... everyone can see it.

@@Hanto_san you still don't get it. It's not about being into or not being into English fabric, it's about using the best fabric and it so happens the quality comes from English and Italian fabrics. But they're expensive. If you can't afford this material /fabric then don't make a suit. Nothing worse than a cheap suit.

I didn’t pay 100,000… where do you get your suits made?

@@on.theworld In France, Lanieri, maybe you know... What is exactly the price ? because i'm going to asin for this summer and i i will try to get a suit or shirt from there

@@maluekfassi9060 Thanks I'll try that on my next tine in Paris!

@@maluekfassi9060 My suit was just under $600 for wool poly blend. I think you got a better deal 😅

@@on.theworld thank you for your informations !

Thanks for this, I’m planning a follow up video. Which tailor would you recommend for people that want the best quality in Bangkok regardless of price?

​@@on.theworld From a "price is no object" standpoint, Narin Couture and Tanika Tailor should definitely be on your short-list. I can't think of any other tailors in Bkk that can produce full canvassed suits. And certainly from a quality standpoint, these two shops will be very hard to beat. The same holds true for their half canvassed suits if you decide to go that route. One thing that sets Narin and Tanika apart from pretty much everybody else is that they will produce your fully canvassed suit in-house. This is a really important distinction, ensuring that the tailor is involved in the whole suit making process. The vast majority of other places in the city (including Crown and Rajawonse) merely take your measurements, and contract out the suit-making to a local factory. You won't encounter the typical Bangkok tailor pledge that the "suit will be ready in 24 hours" at Narin or Tanika. Be prepared to come back for many fittings over at least a two week period. A quality suit takes time to make. At a lower price point, you may want to check out Tailor on Ten. However, they're only able to produce a half canvassed jacket. Also keep in mind that although they have an in-house alteration team, their suits are still made off site. I've seen inconsistent results from them, so my recommendation comes with a bit of trepidation along with a "your mileage may vary" caveat. Still, they're probably better than most of their competitors, and enjoy a strong following among the ex-pat community. One thing to keep in mind when going "upscale"for a suit in Bkk is that the cost of Italian or British wool is pricy. It's quite expensive to import into Thailand, and the tailors who actually offer authentic European wools don't tend to buy in large enough quantities so as to receive a significant discount. Passing off polyester or poly blends as pure wool is common practice among tailors in Bangkok. No such concerns at Narin or Tanika. So keeping the above in mind, apart from their much higher quality in-house tailoring work, the use of authentic, expensive fabrics is another reason why you pay a much more premium price at Narin or Tanika. While your wallet will undoubtedly end up considerably lighter at Narin and Tanika, the bottom line is that you'll at least be walking out with a high quality suit that won't disintegrate within a year. Regardless of where you end up going, I recommend that you conduct a bit of research and arm yourself with some basic knowledge about fabrics and the various methods in which suits can be constructed. Knowing exactly what you want, and being able to accurately convey that information to a tailor will go a long way to ensuring a positive outcome.

Where do you go for your suits here?

Thanks!

Where do you like to get your suits made?

Do you know a better shop to try?

Where should I try next time?

Thanks for watching 😁

Dino Filarte, one of the worlds leading fabric mills in the world. Is milled in China, using Australian Merino Wool. If you would like to shut yourself off from a country, you miss out on all the value and the good fabrics out there. It’s just unfortunately a lot of mills don’t really advertise, even some high end mills from Italy and England are hard to really research. Take my dress shirts for example, I used Giza 45 Thomas Mason Extra Long Staple. But yet I have now got my shirts using SOKTAS Long Staple which I think is softer and creases less than TM. Yet SOKTAS is milled in Turkey, not Italy or England. Turkey is a major fabric hub in the world and a lot of premium fabrics come from there. Like yes I would agree a good suit should be 100% wool, not everyone can afford that and having an honest tailor explain the fabrics and prices. Is really refreshing to see. Someone shouldn’t buy a suit because of the price tag or if it’s “100% wool” or “fully canvas”. They should buy a suit that fits there needs. If their only going to wear like a tuxedo 2-5 times a year, a fused suit will be fine. No point getting Zegna Bemberg Fully Handmade MTM when you’re not going to wear it as much.

@@anaussieinjapan I disagree with 100% wool statement. I own linen/wool blends for the summer, Tweed, Flannel and even a cotton one. Blends are fine so long it fulfills a purpose and is quality, Polyester shouldn’t be in a suit VB has in its hope line some polyester blends. China has good quality and so long a western company does not produce cheap suits there (while exploiting labor) I am fine with it.

Where should I go

Where’s your favorite place to get a suit made in Bangkok?

your answers are more like the one of a spam bot. you suck

@@boltthrower3215 and you added nothing to this.

😅

Can you recommend any better shops in Bangkok?
