How much does a suit cost at Phamtailor?
Prices at Phamtailor depend heavily on cloth and construction. One reviewer paid US$230 for a suit, another about US$800 for a full-canvas suit, and a shirt cost 1.5 million VND, which that customer felt was too much for the quality. Holland & Sherry cloth has been offered on promotion, and one reviewer advises asking about seasonal promotions.
Three 5-star reviewers call the prices reasonable or very affordable, while a 1-star reviewer says tailors in Japan are not much more expensive. Shipping a suit to the U.S. was quoted at US$100. One customer paid a 50% deposit on a suit and lost it after missing a fitting.
| What was ordered | What the customer paid |
|---|---|
| shirt | 1.5M VND (one 1★ reviewer, who felt a ready-to-wear cotton shirt at home would beat it at that price) |
| suit | US$230 (one 1★ reviewer) up to around US$800 for a full-canvas suit (another 1★ reviewer); Holland & Sherry cloth suits bought on a fabric promotion, no figure given |

How long does Phamtailor take?
Turnaround varies a lot. One reviewer's husband needed a suit within 48 hours and got it; another customer had a full-canvas Ivy-style suit made in about three weeks with two fittings and recommends allowing that much time. A 1-star reviewer says a full-canvas suit normally gets three to four fittings, but theirs was cut to two after a storm-delayed flight made them miss the first, and it was not finished before they left.
One reviewer says Phamtailor takes many orders from overseas customers, and it can ship; and one repeat client collected a suit on a later trip. The shop does not open until 11am, so plan fittings around that.

What customers say about Phamtailor
I ordered a shirt because they promised they could get it done before I left. Indeed, it was done before I left, but the quality was really poor.
I’m so glad I chose to have my suit tailored at PhamTailor. The quality, fit, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. The service was professional and friendly, making the whole experience enjoyable. I highly recommend PhamTailor to anyone looking for a perfect custom-made suit.
This shop is a family business and smaller than other tailor shops. As far as I can tell, everything is done in-house, and the owner Tri is very knowledgeable about a wide range of menswear styles, including vintage.

Complaints to know before visiting Phamtailor
- 3 of 14 reviews are 1★ (2024–2025): a 1.5M VND shirt came oversized with broken, pitted buttons and a pen stain; a US$230 suit never fit even after a fitting; a US$800 full-canvas suit was left unfinished and the 50% deposit kept after the customer missed a fitting because of a storm-delayed flight.
- 2 of 14 reviews (one 1★, one 2★) say the tailor makes clothes to his own specifications rather than the customer's measurements.
- 1 of 14 reviews reports the shop offered a refund only on condition that the negative review be deleted, then withdrew it.
Who Phamtailor is best for
Phamtailor suits menswear enthusiasts, business and solo travelers who know exactly what style they want, especially vintage cuts or full-canvas suits, and who can give the shop time. One reviewer says there is no pushy salesman but you should arrive with a clear idea of what you are after.
Think twice if your trip is short. Read the complaints above: two reviewers say Tri works to his own specifications rather than the customer's measurements, and one says a refund was offered only if a negative review was deleted, then withdrawn. Leave room for every fitting.
Names reviewers mention most: Tri.
Before you order at Phamtailor
- If you want your own measurements or specifications followed exactly, say so and check them at the fitting: two reviewers say the shop added its own ease or preferred its own specifications.
- Ask about fabric promotions: one customer ordered two Holland & Sherry suits at a discount during a promotion on that mill's cloth.
- A full-canvas bespoke suit is not a quick order here: one customer's took about three weeks with two fittings.
- Agree fitting times and the finish date before paying the deposit: one customer who arrived late for the first fitting had it skipped, could not get an early-morning slot, and left without the suit while the shop kept the half-price deposit.
