Process
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.
