Shirt tailors in Hanoi

Reported shirt prices differ a lot from shop to shop. At Đức Nhật Tailor shirts cost 1,500,000 VND, about US$59 each, and a custom dress shirt at Ngô Minh Tailor on Tràng Tiền costs about US$65. One customer at Dunnio by Duy Nguyen paid US$30 for a custom shirt. At the other end, reviewers call North Tailor pricier than street tailors, mainly for shirts, though they say the English and reliability make up for it, and a long-time customer at Cao Minh Saigon found the shirt prices almost as high as at their US tailor.

Copying a shirt you already own is a common request. One customer at Đức Nhật paid A$55 per shirt for copies of one they brought in, and Thaicom also copies a garment you bring. Shirts are often ordered alongside a suit: at Đức Nhật one group had four suits and two shirts in under two days.

Timing depends on the shop. At Thaicom Tailoring a set of 4 shirts took 2 days, Văn Hùng Tailor quotes shirts in 3 to 5 days off-season, and at Carlo Pham one reviewer was quoted one week for a shirt. If you want a slim fit, say so clearly and check it at the fitting: at CleverGent one reviewer's jacket and two shirts came out oversized after the tailor overrode the request, with no time left to fix them before the flight.
