Price For Good Quality Suit

[serendipityfox]

It is a bone question, I know - apologies. I would like a benchmark figure to work because a tailor may sting me for good quality material. For a 100% linen/wool 2 piece suit what kind of price?

I recently had a very, very good suit made at Fashion King, Kalare Shopping Centre, Night Bazarre.

Not 100 per cent sure of the material but the end result was great Price 4500 Baht. I also opted to have a formal shirt made for an extra 1500 Baht. Frank, the owner, also gave me a matching set of tie, pocket hankerchief and cufflinks.

The service was great. Would I go back? Without a doubt!

You can Google them for further details.

I went with Hubby to Fashion King when he finally realized it was a big mistake to give all his suits to the Salvation Army in the U.S.

The standard of dress for professional Thai males is much higher than in the U.S.

We, too, can vouch for Fashion King. We didn't worry about linen, cottom, wool, etc content when Frank "interviewed" Hubby about how he planned to use the suit -- i.e. wear only on Thailand vs. in home country, wear how many times of year, what type of functions he attended, etc. His "salesmanship" reminded me of the days when I sold chemical-process industrial process equipment and I knew you don't sell someone a heat exchanger when they need a cooling tower.

The suit Frank produced is beautiful (I also remember my junior high sewing classes) and he wisely suggested two pants for the one jacket.

The suit seems to magically "hang out" of the wrinkles, if we put it on proper hangers in a well-ventilated area. It's been great for traveling.

Thank you Nancy L,

I should have given you the credit in my original reply as I only discovered Fashion King due to your recommendation.

If you want a good quality suit, that will last for years, the price will be 600 US$ ++ at a normal retail shop for a Boss, Armani etc quality suit. Alternatively, you can buy a cheap, poorly made suit that will last a year or so from any tailor in Thailand

" you can buy a cheap, poorly made suit that will last a year or so from any tailor in Thailand"

Or you can use my old guy in BKK, Rajah,
