24 to 48 hour tailors in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Speed works best for simple pieces. Elegant Silk has most orders ready in 24 to 48 hours and often does simple alterations the same day, and at CaoAnh Tailor a shirt or suit in 24 to 48 hours is common, with simple fixes done within an hour. TuyetLan Orchids Tailor finished one custom dress in five hours, and one reviewer came straight from the airport because the shop closes late. At Cửa hàng Thái Taloring One Day, two suits were rushed in under 24 hours to catch a flight.

A full suit usually needs longer. Suit specialists such as V.Man Tailor and Nhut Bespoke Tailor normally take two to five and two to four days and do rush jobs in 24 to 48 hours. Phan's Custom Tailor takes three to five days with two or three fittings and can be rushed to 48 to 72 hours, while busy periods such as Tết stretch it to about a week. At Binh Tailor one reviewer paid US$300 for a rush suit, and rush orders there sometimes get a single fitting. MINH CHAU BESPOKE checked one customer's flight schedule and delivered the suit nearly two hours before the promised time.

Speed can cost you fittings. At Huong Dao Tailor, a customer who had been told to expect more than one fitting got a single rushed session, so confirm how many are included when you order. At Tuyển Tailor, one 1-star review describes trousers too big to alter in time and a jacket made in the wrong design that took 2 extra hours to correct. At Phương Giang Tailor the staff themselves advise four to seven days for complex pieces. Order on your first day, tell the shop your flight time, and leave room for one more fix. 32 of the 56 deliver to your hotel. For prices, see the Saigon tailor prices guide.
