I am a bit puzzled by this topic, every time I pass a tailors shop in Bangkok or Pattaya, they are always empty, I always wondered why they manage to stay in business.

One may wonder if they are subject to income tax on foreign revenue, when many of those Bangkok or Hua Hin tailors do their tours abroad to sell their tailored suits and all in done is hotel rooms.

I was there in February this year had a beautiful shirt made for 1050 baht he started off at 1,700 baht if I go to Uniqlo a shirt will cost me upwards of 750 baht . The one I had made was to my own design high collar double stitching slim fit . I went to three shops before I did the deal he even delivered to my hotel the next day it was perfect made out of high grade cotton 

Looks the nuts CK. Give you that.

 

Fortunately my body allows me to put just anything on, and look good. So it's the local market for me. Although I still have a pair of shorts, that I bought in ASDA 30 years ago. So I'm not knocking the designer stuff. They were on a 'half price' offer. Lucky to get them. They have lasted for ages, and still look the bizzo. Turn the lady's heads when I walk about town.

 

My favourite pull-on shirt is an AC Milan one. Bought it for 99 baht a few years ago. It has special holes under the arm-pits for superior ventilation. Simply can't get better.
