How much does a suit cost at Thomas Nguyen?
No reviewer quotes a figure for Thomas Nguyen. Pricing is repeatedly called reasonable, and one reviewer describes it as a fraction of what a comparable tailor charges in the West. A free tie commonly comes with a suit order, and the 2-day rush service costs an extra fee that one customer found very reasonable.
One 1-star review says the shop quoted a price and then raised it bit by bit during the process, so agree the full price before you pay. For typical figures, see the Saigon tailor prices guide.
How long does Thomas Nguyen take?
A suit at Thomas Nguyen typically takes about a week to 12 days. One detailed account had the first fitting after a week and the final fitting and pickup five days later. If you are short on time, there is a 2-day rush service for an extra fee, and staff have also sped up orders for customers about to fly.
Expect two stages: a first fitting with adjustments, then a final fitting at pickup. The shop has handled orders for customers who were not there in person, including one placed from the US. Reviews say nothing about hotel delivery.

Complaints to know before visiting Thomas Nguyen
- One 1-star Google review alleges the shop quoted a price and then gradually increased it during the process, calling the shop 'scammers' and recommending other shops in District 1 instead.
- One 3-star Google review said that despite selling high-end items, no staff on hand could speak English to communicate with the customer — this contrasts with several other reviews that specifically praise the shop as tourist-friendly with good English.
Who Thomas Nguyen is best for
Thomas Nguyen suits business travelers and families, and anyone who wants accessories to go with a suit: ties, cufflinks, ascots and suspenders are a big part of what people buy. It also makes shirts and uniforms. Kevin, Khanh and Thomas himself are named often for patient guidance, including with a first tailored suit.
It is a poor fit for a short stay unless you pay for the rush service, and it sits well outside the centre. Read the complaints above: one reviewer found no English-speaking staff on hand, while several others praise the staff's English.

Before you order at Thomas Nguyen
- Standard orders here are not overnight: two reviewers had their first fitting about a week after ordering, and a suit with four shirts took just under two weeks. A 2-day rush is offered for an extra fee.
- The shop is in Gò Vấp, not in District 1, so allow for the ride out from the centre.
- Accessories are a strong point: reviewers came for silk ties, cufflinks, suspenders and ascots, some just to buy gifts.
- English is uneven: one reviewer found no staff able to speak it, while another said they speak good English.
- Get the full price confirmed before you commit: one reviewer says the quote kept rising after the first offer.
