November 29, 200718 yr Went to a tailor shop in Patong last Saturday and ordered 3 different trousers. He said to me come back on Monday to check the size etc. on one of "my" trousers. Went again on Monday and size was ok. "Tomorrow you come my friend and the other 2 trousers will be finished". he said. (i've paid 1000.-Baht deposit) Now my questions: What happened on Tuesday? What happened on Wednesday? What happened on Thursday? and finally: What did I say to him on Thursday(today)? Gerd

November 30, 200718 yr Nobody cares, really. There are too many tailors!; side by side in every shopping area, too many opticians,side by side ........why can't they spread themselves about . I've found the Thai Tailors are best.
November 30, 200718 yr I just get them to copy my favourite Saville Row suit. That way I don't have to keep coming back for measurements and they learn a little about English style and elegance. It's a win-win situation. Edited November 30, 200718 yr by ade100

It's a win-win situation. Great idea; I found it never worked. Because they cannot understand "waisting" and the jackets always hang like sacks, and like the old Hong Kong tailor joke, you are likely to have your new suit with the same cigarete burn on the crutch as your old suit."You wanted an exact copy ,Sir?"
November 30, 200718 yr Why not avoid all this hassle and just wear a string vest, baggy shorts, black socks and open sandels like I do? Simon
November 30, 200718 yr simon43, i think forum rules state that there shall be no sandals and socks on the forum. :D (of course, this is said VERY tongue in cheek)
November 30, 200718 yr Why not avoid all this hassle and just wear a string vest, baggy shorts, black socks and open sandels like I do?Simon Are you seriously suggesting wearing neither tie nor cravate? I can hardly believe my ears. Standards appear to be plummiting.
December 1, 200718 yr simon43, i think forum rules state that there shall be no sandals and socks on the forum. :D (of course, this is said VERY tongue in cheek) Entirely correct, and i don't believe Donna said that tongue in cheek at all
