They guys you meet in the shops are just salesmen. Any truth to this? Anyone with real knowledge on the subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangoman007 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 If you want to benchmark against the high end, go to Arts on Soi Patpong #2 (the "japanese" soi) Raja's on Soi Nana is a favorite among expats and they do decent work. I'd probably go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CbrLad Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I heard rumor from a Thai friend that all the "tailors" get there work done at a Thai sweat shop around Petchburi Rd. They guys you meet in the shops are just salesmen. Any truth to this? Anyone with real knowledge on the subject? Well it kind of is true. In most shops the clothes usually are not made in the shop and are made in 'sweat shops', where I wouldn't know. I wouldn't go as far as to say the shops are salesmen, halft the battle of tailoring is the messuring and fitting, but yes be assured in most cases these are not the people actually doing the cutting and sewing. Actually I brought some trousers when I was there a few weeks back and they were missing one button. Pretty poor QA I say, but the funny thing was seeing the tailor try and sew one in. Did a shocking job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
