Comparisons

Bangkok Tailor vs Suitsupply or Indochino

Question answered: “Should I get a suit in Bangkok or buy from Suitsupply/Indochino?”

By Tony Ram, Second-generation owner, Peninsula Bespoke Tailor · Updated

Suitsupply sells ready-to-wear suits with alterations and a made-to-measure service; Indochino sells made-to-measure suits online and in showrooms. Both are convenient at home. A Bangkok tailor measures and fits you in person, offers a wider fabric choice and often costs less. If you're in Bangkok, a good tailor usually gives a better fit for the money.

When is a brand better?

If you need a suit at home quickly, have a standard build and live near a store, a brand can be easier.

When is a Bangkok tailor better?

If you're in Bangkok, have a harder-to-fit build, or want more fabric choice and details, a good tailor gives a more personal result. After your first order, you can reorder from home.
