How long does Mr. XE take?
Most orders at Mr. Xe take 24 hours to 3 days, depending on size, and some single pieces are ready the same day or overnight. Plan for two to four fittings: Mr. Xe inspects each piece himself and will not release it until he is satisfied, so large orders and wedding outfits can stretch over several days.
Adjustments are free, and a 2-year guarantee covers shipping both ways if something needs fixing after you fly home. The shop keeps measurements on file and ships to the UK, Canada and Japan. Reviewers also describe a delivery to a hotel, a fitting done at a customer's hotel and a car to and from Da Nang for fittings.

Who Mr. XE is best for
Mr. Xe suits couples, families, groups, wedding parties and people whose body shape is hard to fit off the rack. It makes suits, shirts, dresses, ao dai and jumpsuits in linen, silk, wool or bamboo cotton, plus embroidery and copies of your own garments. Oanh, Rose, Trang and Lanh are the names that come up most.
It also works for anyone who wants to keep ordering after the trip by sending designs on WhatsApp. The trade-off is time: one reviewer calls Mr. Xe a perfectionist and was fitted three or four times, so leave room for several visits.

Before you order at Mr. XE
- The work comes with a two-year guarantee: you ship a piece back and they fix it. Ask who pays the postage, since some reviewers say Mr Xe covers it and one was told the customer does.
- Mr Xe checks every garment himself at the end and will not hand it over until he is satisfied, so allow time for one more round even when you are happy; in one review he spotted details the customers had missed and the fixes took 20 minutes.
- If you are staying in Da Nang, ask about transport: reviewers were driven between Da Nang and Hoi An for fittings, and one was offered a lift back.
- Oanh, the staff member reviewers name most often, goes by "One", which is how several reviews spell her name; ask for her by either name.
- You can reorder from home: one customer sent a moodboard and a friend's measurements by WhatsApp, paid up front, and received the suits a week after shipping, with a replacement offered when the waistcoat did not match.
