How to pick a tailor in HCMC
Read the recent low reviews before the star rating: a 4.8 with a fresh run of sizing complaints tells you more than the number. Agree the full price and the payment split before anyone takes measurements, order on your first day in town, and say what feels off at the fitting — that's where a good shop earns its reputation. The busiest names in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) are Viet Thanh Silk, Elegant Silk and Phan's Custom Tailor; the smaller shops often win on attention.
Saigon or Hoi An: where should you get clothes made?
Hoi An has hundreds of tailors in one walkable old town and turns most orders around in two or three days, and it is where the trade learned to work with travelers. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) has 125 profiled shops at 300–350 for a suit, fewer options to compare in an afternoon though 31 of them still deliver in 24–48 hours. If Hoi An is on your route and you have two spare days there, order there. If it is not, or you are already here and the fit matters more than the choice of fabrics, the shops below do the same work — read the recent low reviews first and agree the price in writing.
