Before you order at Ba Bi Tailor
- Many customers arrive on a driver's or guide's recommendation; one reviewer later learned the Easy Rider driver who brought them takes a 40% commission, so compare prices before you commit.
- Ask for the full total before confirming a big order: one customer was quoted US$682 only at the end, cancelled the shirts, and paid US$200 for a shirt and two dresses.
- If the fabrics in the shop do not convince you, Hanna can take you to the fabric factory to choose from a wider range.
- One suit buyer reports that Ba Bi builds its suits on a full canvas, which not every Hoi An tailor does, and got the traditional English cut, side buckles and half-break hem they asked for; ask about the canvas if it matters to you.
