Coat and jacket tailors in Vietnam

Only 11 prices for a coat, jacket or blazer appear in the reviews, running from US$40 to US$350. At Bari Tailor two blazers cost US$80, about US$40 each, while a winter overcoat at Ny Central Tailor cost US$120 and a lined black blazer at Yaly Couture Signature A$190. Kimmy Tailor suits people who want an overcoat in good wool and are prepared to pay for it; a two-piece wool suit there cost about US$380.

You do not have to be in Hoi An. In Da Nang, Paul Bespoke Tailor specialises in suits, tuxedos and blazers, and several reviewers chose it instead of making the trip to Hoi An. In Saigon, customers at DUAN Tailor paid 8,000,000 to 12,000,000 VND (about $315-472) for a jacket and trousers, and orders there take 3 to 6 days.

Leave time for fittings. The most common turnaround is 24 to 48 hours, listed by 43 shops, but 13 quote 2 to 3 days and 12 quote 2 to 4 days. Check the shoulders, collar and seams at each fitting: at Yaly Couture Signature one review describes a double-breasted jacket sewn like a single-breasted one, and at Bari Tailor a 3-star review reports blazer seams coming undone within months. Free adjustments are offered by 175 of the 197 shops, and 102 ship abroad. See the tailor prices guide for more figures.
