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.
