'3 Suits + 5 Shirts' Package Deals: Are They Worth It?
Question answered: “Are cheap suit package deals in Bangkok a scam?”
By Tony Ram, Second-generation owner, Peninsula Bespoke Tailor · Updated
Most cheap '3 suits, 2 jackets, 5 shirts' packages in Bangkok aren't a good deal. At those prices the shop has to use low-grade fabric, glued construction and little fitting time. A package can make sense with an honest tailor if the fabric is named and fittings are included. Ask exactly what's in it.
Why are packages so cheap?
Divide the package price by the number of garments. If a suit works out at a few thousand baht including fabric, labour and the shop's rent, something has to give: usually fabric quality, construction and fittings.
When does a package make sense?
- The tailor names the fabric for each piece
- Every suit gets its own fitting
- The price is written down item by item
- Alterations are included
What's a better approach?
Order one very good suit and a few shirts first. Once the fit is right, reorder more from home using your saved measurements.
Frequently asked questions
- Are Bangkok suit packages a scam?
- Not always, but very cheap ones rarely give good quality.
- Can I mix fabrics in a package?
- Ask the tailor; an honest one will price each fabric separately.
- Does Peninsula offer packages?
- Yes, 14 of them, from ฿7,900 (Essential: one bespoke two-piece suit and one shirt) to ฿120,000 (Presidential: 8 suits, 18 shirts and more). Every package lists each garment and starts with standard-quality fabric; finer cloth adjusts the price.
