Tailors in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) with free adjustments

What the free part covers differs from shop to shop. At Elegant Silk simple alterations are often done the same day, and staff once collected a suit from a hotel, adjusted it overnight and returned it by 7am before an early flight. Tuyển Tailor redid a customer's short sleeves after closing hours and mended a rip in 10 minutes. CaoAnh tailor and Phương Giang Tailor have even touched up clothes they did not make, and at Vest Biên Hoà one reviewer says alterations and steaming came free with the purchase.

Some shops keep the promise long after you collect. V.Man Tailor alters for free for up to five years if your weight changes by about 5 kg, and small fixes there take 20 minutes. Reviewers of Nhut Tailor mention a lifetime warranty on suit alterations, and Binh Tailor altered one customer's old suit at no charge. Since 42 of the 80 ship abroad, ask how a fix would work once you are home.

Free rounds do not guarantee the fit gets fixed. At Phương Giang Tailor, reviews describe a blazer still tight at the armpit and trousers that did not fit after 2 extra rounds of alteration. A 3-star review of Binh Tailor describes changes marked at a fitting that had not been made by the next visit, and at Veston Ken one customer says simple hems took 3 to 4 attempts. At each fitting, check that what was pinned last time has actually changed. Plan for time too: a suit at Phan's Custom Tailor usually takes three to five days with two to four fittings.
