Title: Any interest in BESPOKE CUSTOM SUITS
Post by: Saigonsmokes on October 27, 2014, 06:32:26 AM
Hi

Is there any interest in Bespoke Custom Tailored Suits?

My friend owns a very nice tailor shop here in Vietnam. He is from the USA and has been working with his tailors here in Vietnam for 15 years.

I have had 3 bespoke suits made by him in the last few years and they are definately the best quality suits I have (out of 12 suits I own) - all fully canvassed, no fused suits and the material choice is vast.

He has a range of cloths depending on your budget, ranging from Italian cloths to imported Holland and Sherry fabrics

He does not rush the suits, a suit will take 3 weeks to make. All you need to do is provide your measurements, he will provide a guide to measure or you go to an alteration shop and have them measure you up.

He works with a number of tailoring companies in the USA and UK, his suits are the equivilent of $2-5k suits in the USA (top end using Holland and Sherry). Everything can be customized, lining, working cuffs, pockets, embroidery, braces etc.

He ships a lot of suits abroad, made using measurements and photo only - he would estimate that only 1 in 10 suits ever need alterations and guarantees all work for 12 months. He pays $50 if any alterations are needed.

PM if you have any questions, the shipping cost is $35 - no problems with Customs.

I have pursueded him to test the boat and to try accepting Bitcoins, I would love it if even one person bought a bespoke suit from him using Bitcoin.

Prices

His suits start at $600 which includes a fully canvassed suit using Italian wool/silk/Polyester (70/20/10) fabric with no customization (they choose the lining colors, buttons - no working cuffs)

On average, you would be looking at $800 which includes Italian fabric wool silk mix (80/20), working cuffs, complete customizations - buttons, pockets, lining, embroidery etc...

Unless you were really wanting to splurge and get the finest fabrics in the world in which case it can be approximately $1800 using Holland and Sherry fabrics.

A suit made using Holland and Sherry fabrics would look as good as new in 20+ years. I own one of these and it is beautiful.

All of the suits are hand cut, hand canvassed and hand tailored - the tailors have been trained by Saville Row tailors. Its much easier if you emailed me a photo of a suit design you like and your budget and I can then obtain some fabrics to email over to you that are in your price range.

Pricing would be completely dependent on what you were after material wise/customization.

If you can send me a picture of what you are looking for, i can send you some details based on different materials he uses. You would be able to choose lining colors, whether you want pick stitching, how many pockets, how many flaps at back and many other options but first off get a photo over to me and I can get you a basic price, he would need your measurements and a photo of your body to see what cut would suit you best.

All the suits he makes are fully canvassed so fit like a glove. A fully canvased suit is going to be built for the long term, 10 years, maybe more of wear, a fully canvassed suit will last for many years of dry cleaning. I would never buy a suit that was not fully canvassed, fused suits lose their shape quickly and wont last more than a year or two or more than a few dry cleaning runs.

I'd also like to see some rough estimates. You could post some pictures detailing the different options with prices listed. I'd assume they are $800-2k but would like more information.

A suit that is individually tailored to your body shape made from the right fabric is what every man (and woman) should own.  It should be configured to sit perfectly on your frame and accentuate your best attributes, while simultaneously obscuring unflattering ones. Two things make a good suit, one is the fit and one is the fabric.

Like these suits here:

I believe that's some random fabric provider...not the tailor.

OP I am interested in this and will try to put together some info and email you.

Hi

Yes that is correct, it is just a link to a famous fabric providers website

Please do get in touch and I can email photos of the fabrics that may be suitable, we are looking forward to providing our first bespoke suit for Bitcoin.

I will attach some photos of his actual suits this weekend, additionally, all button-holes are working and sewn by hand ... lapels are rolled rather than pressed ... buttons are bone, horn, metal, or wood - he does not like plastic. He uses fabrics that are blended: either 50/50 wool/silk, 70/20/10 wool/silk/polyester, or 70/30 wool/polyester ... the latter being a bit heavier and cheaper.
