How long does Tâm Silk Tailor take?
Suits and shirts usually take 24 to 72 hours: one customer had two suits and five shirts made in 72 hours. Straightforward orders need one or two fittings, while a coat or a fitted evening gown took three or four.
Fit problems found at the first fitting are fixed for free, usually by the next day, and one pair of trousers that was 2cm too tight was brought to the customer's hotel the same night. The shop ships finished orders abroad, Australia included, and keeps measurements on file so you can order by email later.

Who Tâm Silk Tailor is best for
Tâm Silk suits solo travelers, couples, business travelers and Saigon residents who want suits, shirts, dresses or a tuxedo quickly, including bigger builds: one very tall, heavy reviewer was happy with three suits. Tam speaks good English and can make pieces from photos.
Read the complaints above, which span 2014 to 2020, before ordering anything complex, and check the fit and material carefully at each fitting. One reviewer also met little interest when asking for a dress to be copied.

Before you order at Tâm Silk Tailor
- You can bring your own fabric: one customer brought cloth and a favourite jacket and had three copies by the next afternoon.
- They keep your measurements, so you can email them to order more after you have left town.
- Ask for a basted try-on: one customer was given a skeleton jacket to try before the final measurements were set.
- The lower-rated reviews describe specific fit requests, such as more room in the torso or slim suits with high armholes, not fully met after fittings, so leave time for an extra fitting if your fit is particular.
