How long does Carlo Pham: Bespoke Tailoring Service take?
Plan on one week to 12 days. Simpler pieces have been rushed in four to five days, but staff turn down orders when the deadline is too tight for the fabric, such as a wool suit in nine days. One reviewer was quoted one week for a shirt and ten days for trousers.
Expect two or three fittings, sometimes only one. Fit tweaks after a fitting can be fast, with one pair of trousers refined in 20 minutes. The shop keeps your measurements on file, so you can order more after leaving Vietnam and have it shipped.

Quoted from recent Google reviews, as written — critical ones included.
Complaints to know before visiting Carlo Pham: Bespoke Tailoring Service
- A 1-star Google review (posted roughly 2 months before this data was collected) alleges that a tailor personally refused to make a tuxedo for the reviewer, who described herself as a queer masculine-of-center woman, and that staff said a suit could not be made for her.
- Two 3-star Google reviews describe inconsistent or cold treatment from staff toward some customers: one contrasted 'the coldness of both Andrew's and Franklin's service' with a warmer reception given to other customers in the shop at the same time; another described 'an air of arrogance' and felt it was tied to being Asian and casually dressed, and was quoted longer lead times (1 week for a shirt, 10 days for pants) than a nearby competitor.
- Two 1-star reviews describe scheduling or availability problems: one Google review says a pre-booked appointment (with travel dates shared in advance) fell through when the tailors weren't in, and staff later said they couldn't meet the agreed deadline; one TripAdvisor review says a quoted fabric ($420) turned out to be out of stock after a 45-minute wait, and the shop said it doesn't do silk shirts.

Before you order at Carlo Pham: Bespoke Tailoring Service
- Book before you arrive in Hanoi. One reviewer saw walk-in customers turned away because of the number of orders pending, another advises making an appointment before coming, and a third arranged the order with Andrew months ahead of the trip.
- Plan on about a week for a suit here. One reviewer was told a week is the minimum, another describes about a week with one fitting, and another had three fittings; a few single suits were finished in four or five days, and one reviewer was quoted a week for a shirt and ten days for trousers.
- If your window is short, ask at the start which fabrics can be made in time. One reviewer was told a top-quality wool suit was not possible in nine days, and was also told the shop does not make silk shirts.
- They keep your measurements after the first order, so further garments can be ordered later and shipped abroad.
