Question answered: “Can I get a winter-weight suit in Bangkok?”
By Tony Ram, Second-generation owner, Peninsula Bespoke Tailor · Updated
Yes. You can order winter-weight suits in Bangkok for colder countries. Look for heavier wools, flannels, tweeds and wool-cashmere blends, and a fully lined jacket. Try it on briefly at fittings, since heavy cloth is warm in Bangkok. If time is tight, we can finish and ship it.
Which fabrics suit cold weather?
| Fabric | Look | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Flannel | Soft, matte | Winter business suits |
| Heavy worsted wool | Smooth, structured | Year-round in cool climates |
| Tweed | Textured, rugged | Jackets, country wear |
| Wool-cashmere | Soft, warm | Jackets and coats |
Will it be hot to try on in Bangkok?
Yes, briefly. Fittings are quick, and our showroom is air-conditioned.
Can you ship it?
Yes, to 195 countries.
