for Tailors, Bangkok or Hi Chi Minh ?

[Deleted member 80916]

I've given up on over-expensive, arrogant Singapore / Malaysia Tailors.
Which is a better shopping, tailoring destination - Bangkok of HCMC ?
Thanks

i got tailor made trousers, shirts & jacket from BKk 10+ years ago. I'm still using the shirts & I sometimes use the trousers. The problem with the trousers is that they are now tight because I've gained weight


I got 3 pairs of trousers made with local Thai material & 3 pairs made with imported material(British & Italian). My favourite are the trousers made with imported material because the material is softer. Although they are made of wool, I just throw them into the washing machine with my other stuff. If you are going to take the trouble of making tailor made clothes, you might as well use the best material.

Nowadays the pants I use are hiking pants made by Patagonia, Royal Robins,... They are comfortable, quick to dry & don't need ironing

Ho Chi Minh but Hanoi is cheaper.
