Tailored in Bangkok - What to expect

I attended a travel fair in Bangkok last summer and had just enough free time, 2 days to visit a tailor-made suit. Bangkok and many other Asian cities are great places to visit a tailor for custom-made shirts suits, jackets and other clothing at an affordable price. But it is better to be prepared and understand the process before jumping in and taking advantage of that $ 99 offer. Here's a guide on what to expect.

In almost all largeAsian city, business by business of selling souvenirs, t-shirt vendors, jewelers, tailors and invite you to come and see. "But beware, if you do not really want a dressed and ready, $ 300 for a dress go and spend two pieces of fabric with a decent quality. Anything less and you can even get off the shelf at K-Mart.

Most shops are small, but some may be part of a larger chain. Does not really matter for your purposes. All are taken only with boltsTissue that your measurements and sends them to a factory for the actual cutting and sewing. Some can even buy very high-tech. You can store your measurements in a database, and you can order new clothes or shirts or pants by e-mail and credit cards.

The hearing

The operator or the owner (who has the authority to negotiate) will ask you what you are looking for. Tell a dress or a jacket, but you are looking for now. He will speakThey are very friendly and offer you a cold beer. He will ask you to sit down and show a photo book of models of different kinds of clothes to find what you are interested in. If you have committed, and six employees on track for a new dress.

Once a style (buttons 1, 2 or 3, single or double breasted, the type of collar, back-center or side vents, etc.), it is called substance. He will tell you the difference between true and false cashmere cashmerewoolen fabrics (also called polyester), by burning a small sample with a lighter and then continue to assure you that he only wants the best for you and material information that the 99 "price is based on polyester fabric. succumb to accept that you really want the real wool.

Note that these guys are not role models for style, not necessarily a good job, you have the right kind of dress or jacket for your purposes. But the leaders are doing something goodDecisions.

While avoiding the initial discovery process, the tailor, who have a price, but when you decide how many suits, shirts, ties, etc. He finally put together a package price for you. This is, after all, when the process begins. Bargain hard and firm and ready to walk. So he can throw extra shirts or ties to finally seal the deal.

Sizes and original equipment

Once you agree on a price, the tailor takes measurements.You need a minimum of 2 days for the process, but 3 is better. Within the first few days, you have your first fitting. I'm in the shop again to the real Schneider, hit a rough cut of the important pieces. It occurs to ensure that the width and length are correct and working chalk and pen, the exact locations for final assembly. They will return to the store the next day for another fitting.

The second installation is complete the suiteand tailor or shop owners will do their best to convince you that it is well if you try it on. But here is where it's a good idea, someone with you for your concerns with your shoulders too tight, sleeves too long, or whatever might be the problem of validation. Be firm and tell them what you want to achieve, and will tolerate. However, if the dress fits really here then you're done!

Final assembly

You could also send someone who does not speak English very well, so if something is wrong, you have a hard time articulating them. However, if it still does not fit your company and ask for more changes. You can request a visit to the shop again.
