Before you order at Simon's The Tailor

- The shop sits a few minutes by taxi outside the Old Town, in a more local area, so allow for the trip to each fitting.
- There are two branches; reviewers mention Simon the Tailor 2, and one customer went to the shop at 12 Phan Dinh Phung because it was nearer their hotel.
- They keep your measurements on file, so later orders can be placed from home and shipped to you.
- For white trousers, expect a frank answer on see-through fabric: one customer was told full opacity could not be guaranteed and was advised not to order.
