How much does a suit cost at Ken tailor?
No reviewer at Ken Tailor states what they paid. They describe the prices as reasonable, fair, cheap or good value, and one says an overcoat cost about the same as buying a ready-made one in India.

How long does Ken tailor take?
Ken works fast. Shirts and trousers are often ready within 24 hours, a leather skirt and an overcoat were each finished the same day, and orders of several shirts take up to two days. There is usually one fitting, sometimes a second visit for adjustments such as taking a suit in, and a few reviewers needed no changes at all.
On repeat visits Ken has come to customers' hotels for measuring and fittings instead of asking them to come to the shop. No reviewer mentions shipping abroad.

What customers say about Ken tailor
I came to Ken because I wanted to have a suit and I was staying in a hotel nearby. I was there in the morning. He seemed like a genuine and friendly guy.
I had an existing dress copied by Ken. He did it perfectly. He also advised me this beautiful fabric, a mixture of silk and cotton. Ken is very correct, keeps his appointments, gives good advice and a delivers meticulous work. I am very satisfied with my dress. Happy!

Who Ken tailor is best for
Ken Tailor suits couples, friends, solo travelers and business travelers staying nearby who want suits, shirts, linen, leather, wool coats or a copy of a garment they own. Reviewers praise his advice on fabric and his attention to detail, one singles out his English, and he also repairs clothes made elsewhere.
The shop is 3.7 km from the centre, so it is easier if you are staying out of town. Read the complaints above about a ruined pair of trousers, a shirt that shrank after one wash and a missing pocket, and check fabric and finishing before you pay.

Before you order at Ken tailor
- The shop is out by An Bang beach rather than in the old town; reviewers from 2024 give its newer address as 154 Nguyen Phan Vinh St.
- Agree the price before handing anything over: one customer was quoted 150k to shorten two T-shirts and charged 300k, and another was charged more on the card than the agreed amount.
- Ask whether the linen has been pre-washed: one customer's linen shirt shrank after the first wash, and another's trousers shrank by 10 cm.
- Ken also works in leather and makes shoes. Reviewers mention a leather jacket and a leather skirt, and one customer had shoes made on two separate trips.
- Ken takes on clothes made by other tailors: customers have brought shirts from the old town market and a dress copied at the fabric market for him to rework.
