As the title says, are there any nice people out in Ubon making suits and shirts etc.

A review if possible and a rating.

Address or directions aswell.

Thanks

One of the best places in town is Crystal. The tailor there made shirts and trousers for me way back in 1978 when he was an apprentice at another shop in the old town. Crystal makes suits and jackets. However, be prepared to pay for quality. They also specialise in Thai jackets and silk shirts. They also make ladies clothes but that could be at their other branch around the corner.

Location. On Chayangkun road in the Kilosoon area just down from the Esso Service station and across the street from the main office of Home Hub.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I will take a look over the weekend.

Anyone else have any pearls like the one above?

Not using my head at all this weekend.

I came to Ubon today and realised it was Sunday so likely closed.

I presume I was at the right place but it looked like there was no movement. Same with the bicycle shop I wanted to go to, also closed.

Such a wally.

Will try again on a working day.

Sorry for the late reply.

I found crystal's shop on Saturday and enquired about making me a simple cotton shirt.

You did mention that he wasn't cheap and at prices starting from 950 baht I was shocked. Back home no problems I would pay that in a flash.

I was in Hua Hin 18months ago and paid 500 baht per cotton shirt, have the prices really doubled from tourist trap walking street Hua Hin to Ubon small shop?

Anywhere else?

I will have to use them if there is nowhere more reasonable.

Or wait for a trip to CM, BKK or HH.

Thanks.

When you state “making” the shirt, I presume you have already purchased the cotton elsewhere and are just want the tailor to cut and make you a tailor-made shirt. Shops in Ubon normally charge between 300-600 baht for making a shirt. Lots more if it is silk.

It also depends on the design, long vs short sleeves, and the fabric.

If, however, the price quoted to you was including their cotton, then I think 950 baht is very reasonable for a tailor-made shirt. No doubt you can get shirts made in Ubon using the shops fabric for 500 baht. I go to a shop in front of Radjaphat University and get alterations done to trousers like lengthening or taking in. But no way would I let this shop make me trousers or shirts. Their craftsmanship is very ordinary to say the least.

If you get a shirt cut and made at Crystal you will look like a gentleman. Get it cut and made anywhere else, you will look like a bloke.

I will take onboard this glowing recommendation and head back there.

I saw only going to take a sample of the material I would like using.

950 baht doesn't seem a lot I suppose.

Are you on a commission?
