What customers say about August Tailor
I had a really good experience here. I’m from North America, backpacking in Vietnam. I am attending law school soon and needed a simple high quality suit for upcoming firm interviews, mock trials, and graduation events for my law degree.
Can’t recommend enough. I got 2 custom suits in different styles and they executed the vision perfectly on both. Very reasonable price for the quality and attention to detail.
