Universal Tailors Experience | Bangkok Tailor Review

Over the years, countless readers have asked me if they should tailor in Bangkok, and I've never been able to give an opinion as I've never done so myself. With COVID now a thing of the past (fingers crossed), I decided to visit a few tailors in Bangkok late last year, with the first being Universal Tailors.
Universal Tailors was the first tailor that I visited in Bangkok, and I have to say they certainly impressed me. While not the cheapest, their suits are relatively affordable (in comparison to Singapore prices), starting at 9500 baht (~S$360). Yet, Universal Tailor was able to punch above its price tag and deliver a well-fitting, finely crafted suit - all within 72 hours. The experience was great as well, with the father-son duo reminding me of my experience at Meiko Tailor with Adele and Uncle Chung. My only complaint is the lack of a natural lapel roll, which would have given the suit added dimension.
Those interested in commissioning a suit from Universal Tailors can quote the promo code "WAHSOSHIOK" or flash this article in-store to enjoy a free shirt (worth 1500 baht, or ~S$58) with every suit purchase. Honestly, I was sceptical of the cheap prices and quick turnaround times of Bangkok tailors beforehand - I'm glad Universal Tailors was able to dispel my stereotypes. My positive experience with Universal Tailors gave me the confidence to try out other Bangkok tailors, so stay tuned for more reviews.

That has to be a fused (glued) construction, which is less desirable for warm climates. Anyway decent result for the price

[@universaltailors]

Hi, thats half canvas construction with 3 layer horsehair canvassing.

indian tailor in bankgok.... but way cheaper than getting it done from england or west

[@pattersonclass6265]

What was the total cost? How many days in advance did you need to make an appointment?

[@WahSoShiok]

I made the appointment before I flew over, so about a week in advance? Total cost was about $500 SGD

I won't trust a tailor who doesn't know how to fit his own clothes, the fit of his clothes should reflect his understanding of what a good fit means.
