What to Bring to Your First Tailor Appointment

Question answered: “What should I bring to a tailor in Bangkok?”

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

Bring the shoes you'll wear with the suit, a shirt or jacket whose fit you like, photos of styles you want, and your travel dates. Wear light clothes so measurements are accurate. If you have a suit you love, bring it: a tailor can copy and improve it.

What's on the checklist?

  • The shoes you'll wear with the suit
  • A dress shirt (or wear one)
  • A jacket or shirt you like the fit of
  • Photos of styles, colours and details you like
  • Your check-out date and any event date
  • A belt or braces if you wear them

What should I wear to be measured?

Light, close-fitting clothes. Empty your pockets. Bulky clothes or a full wallet change the measurements.

What if I forget something?

Don't worry. We can lend shoes for fitting purposes and work from photos on your phone.
