Vietnam is one of the best places in the world to have a suit made. Hoi An alone has hundreds of tailor shops, and good tailors in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi make suits for local business people every day. A custom suit here typically costs a fraction of a made-to-measure suit in the US, UK or Australia. The good news: you do not have to fly to Vietnam to get one. Send us your measurements and we place the order, check the finished suit and ship it to your door.
How much does a custom suit cost in Vietnam?
Price depends mostly on the fabric and on how the jacket is built, not on the design. Typical 2026 prices for a two-piece suit (jacket and trousers):
| Level | Typical price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Budget / market tailor | $90–150 | Polyester or wool-blend cloth, fused jacket. Fine for occasional wear. |
| Mid-range tailor | $150–250 | Wool or wool-blend cloth, better cut, often half-canvas. |
| Premium tailor | $250–500 | Italian or English wool, canvassed jacket, more hand finishing. |
Extra trousers, a waistcoat or matching shirts are usually added at a small extra cost. A good tailor will quote by fabric, so ask to see the cloth before you pay.
How ordering a suit from abroad works
- Tell us what you want. Send photos of the style you like, the colour and the occasion (office, wedding, groomsmen, travel). You can also name a tailor shop you already know.
- Choose the fabric. The tailor sends photos or a video of fabric options with prices. We pass them on and answer your questions in English.
- Send your measurements. Use the checklist below and add full-body photos. The tailor checks them before cutting.
- Production. Most tailors need about 5–10 days for a remote order.
- Quality check and packing. We check stitching, buttons and measurements against your order, then fold the suit with tissue paper in a firm box so it arrives with as few creases as possible.
- Shipping. Delivery to your door with tracking.
Measurements the tailor needs
Use a soft tape measure, measure over a thin shirt, and keep the tape snug but not tight. Measure in centimetres if you can.
- Jacket: chest, stomach, hips, shoulder width, sleeve length, jacket length, bicep, neck.
- Trousers: waist (where you wear them), hips, thigh, knee, inseam or outseam, hem width.
- Body: height, weight, and photos from the front, side and back, standing naturally.
The easiest way to avoid mistakes: if you own a jacket and trousers that fit you well, measure those garments laid flat and send the numbers too. Tailors find this extremely helpful.
Shipping cost and delivery time
A two-piece suit packed in a box is usually charged at about 2 kg because of its size. Read how volumetric weight works (in Vietnamese).
| Destination | One suit (about 2 kg) | Delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| USA, Canada, Europe, UK | about $14 | 7–14 days |
| Australia, New Zealand | about $20 | 7–12 days |
| Japan, Korea, Singapore | about $10 | 4–8 days |
Our service fee is 0.5% of the order value, $5 minimum. Several suits and shirts can go in one box, which lowers the shipping cost per item. If you are in the US, note that low-value parcels are no longer duty-free, so the recipient may pay import duty on clothing. See our guide to shipping to the USA.
Tips for a suit that fits the first time
- Start with one suit. Once the tailor has your measurements on file, ordering more is quick and much safer.
- Ask the tailor to leave extra seam allowance in the waist and sleeves, so a local tailor can make small adjustments cheaply.
- Be clear about the fit you like: slim, regular or relaxed. A photo of a suit you like says more than words.
- For a wedding or event, order at least 4–5 weeks ahead to allow time for production, shipping and any alterations.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really get a custom suit from Vietnam without visiting?
Yes. Many Vietnamese tailors already make suits for overseas customers from measurements and photos. The key is accurate measurements, and a tailor who checks them with you before cutting.
How long does it take in total?
Usually 2–4 weeks: about 5–10 days for the tailor, a day or two for our check and packing, and 4–14 days of shipping depending on the country.
What if the suit does not fit perfectly?
Small adjustments such as sleeve or trouser length are easy and inexpensive for any local tailor. Bigger problems caused by a tailoring mistake should be raised with the tailor, and we help you deal with them in Vietnamese.
Can you also get shirts, áo dài or dresses made?
Yes. The same process works for shirts, dresses and áo dài. See our guide to choosing an áo dài size (in Vietnamese).
