Suits for Big and Tall Men in Bangkok

Question answered: “Can I get suits made in Bangkok if I'm big or tall?”

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

Yes. Big and tall men often get the most from a tailor, because off-the-rack sizes rarely fit long arms, broad shoulders, a larger waist or long legs all at once. A Bangkok tailor cuts the pattern from your own 30 measurements, so lengths and proportions are right. Ask for fabric in a wide enough width for longer pieces.

What problems does bespoke solve?

  • Sleeves and jackets too short
  • Tight shoulders with loose waist (or the reverse)
  • Trousers too short or tight in the thigh
  • Shirts that pull at the buttons

What styles flatter larger builds?

  • Darker solid colours or subtle stripes
  • Single-breasted, two buttons
  • Medium-width lapels
  • Clean trousers with a slight break

Do bigger suits cost more?

Sometimes slightly, because they use more fabric. We'll quote you before you order.
