Shirt tailors in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

A single shirt costs a fraction of a suit here. One reviewer paid about US$35 per custom dress shirt at Namsilk Tailor, cotton shirts at Tâm Silk Tailor run around US$40, and at Usagi shirts cost 700,000 to 1,000,000 VND. A basic shirt at DUAN Tailor costs about 1,500,000 VND. Shirts are often ordered with a suit: at August Tailor one customer paid US$1,200 for 3 suits, a sport coat, trousers and 6 shirts.

Copying a shirt you already like is quick. DELICATEF menswear made a dress shirt from a photo in 3 days, and Truc Lam Tailor copied three linen shirts in 36 hours for about £50. At CaoAnh Tailor a shirt or suit in 24 to 48 hours is common. For later, VestonDep suits anyone who wants to reorder without coming back to Vietnam, and Nhut Bespoke Tailor offers to alter shirts later if your weight changes.

Several complaints are about shirts in particular. A shirt was missing at pickup in one Nhựt Tailor review and forgotten in a DUAN Tailor review; at Tài Tailor two shirts split across the back on first wear, and at Tuyển Tailor stitching on a shirt came undone after one wear. When you collect a big order, count the shirts and check collars, cuffs and seams before you pay.
