Quick answer: Order on your first day and allow 2–3 fittings. Bring a photo or a garment to copy. Prices vary hugely with fabric, so ask for wool or silk content in writing. Pay a deposit and the balance only when you’re happy.
Hoi An has hundreds of tailor shops making suits, dresses, coats and shirts in 24–48 hours. Quality ranges from excellent to rushed, so choosing well matters.
How it works
