Complaints to know before visiting North Tailor
- 1 review (2 stars, about 4 months ago) describes a disengaged tailor who showed little interest in explaining details, didn't note flagged fitting issues until specifically asked, and left the same issues unresolved at pickup — the shop offered to 'fix' it in an hour, which the reviewer felt covered up the problem rather than solving it.
Who North Tailor is best for
North Tailor suits business and solo travelers, couples, families and wedding guests ordering suits, tuxedos, vests, shirts or trousers, and it also makes children's clothes and copies garments. It is a good fit if you want to reorder from home later. One reviewer says the consultants suggest suitable cloth instead of pushing expensive types, and a custom red jacket was made exactly as asked at no extra charge.
If the lowest price for a shirt is your priority, street tailors charge less. Read the complaint above about a disengaged tailor and check every fitting point at pickup.

Before you order at North Tailor
- They keep your measurements on file, so you can order another suit after you get home and have it shipped: one customer in Sweden received a FedEx parcel from Hanoi within 48 hours, and others have had suits sent to the US.
- Tung takes the measurements and runs the fittings, while Mai Ly helps with fabrics and colours and speaks good English; both are named in several reviews.
- For a shirt that creases less, ask about the bamboo fabric: several reviewers had bamboo shirts made here, and one notes it wrinkles very little.
- The shop answers on WhatsApp, which one customer found handy for follow-ups after the order.
- At the fitting, make sure each change you point out gets written down: one shirt customer says the issues raised were only noted when asked, and were still there at pick-up.
