How good do I look in a $175 Tailored Suit from Vietnam?

[@zeine1970]

Hi Travis, I was in Hoi An just last week, and will defininately get a suit and shoes made on my next visit.... Just for reference, a bespoke suit made on Savile Row in London will cost between £3500 - £10,000 or 115 million vnd - 329 million vnd depending on the choice of fabric. For bespoke shoes you will usually pay £3000 upwards, or 98 million vnd. I'm looking forward to the wedding video, as I'll be going to a couple next year in Hai phong which is my wifes home city. I just returned to the UK yesterday from Danang, and already can't wait to get back home

[@ronsmith5648]

I've had three leather motorcycle jackets made there over the years and am happy with all of them. The ride down there is enjoyable, nothing to complain about LOL. We'll be there in January.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I saw the leather jackets at the shoe shop. Very top gun-ish. Check out the travel group should be helpful for your trip in Jan. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about

The real point is in how you feel and how you like the pieces you have made. This process is custom and handmade for you and in part this is what is being paid for. Now, there really many ways to go about it and knowing that once “in” its on you to get the pricing out of the way… it is what it is. Then there is letting yourself really enjoy what you’re involved in. This will carry forward and so inform what you are looking for as your choices become better and better also. Personally, I have one of those bodies that nothing, and I mean nothing, fits off of the ready to wear racks. When I finally had my first pieces made and was taught how clothes could fit I never looked back. After having clothes made in London, Milan and Hong Kong it really came down to materials and details as by this point I knew what I wanted in terms of fit and feel. Then it’s choosing according to how or where you would wear these garments…… welcome to the world of fit clothing. It’s a process and one you’ll grow with overtime if it’s a fi for you in the long run.

[@TomPham-b5x]

It's a good deal. I always wanted custome made clothes but I can't afford it, especially here in Canada . Th ank you for sharing this beautiful video. ( from a Vietnamese-Canadian)

[@gmeyer6657]

Travis..that’s a deal all around! Suit was on point! Her dress is beautiful ❤

[@proud4373]

OMG! I have always wanted to do this for a long time. I am going to HoiAn next year.

[@yamuiemata]

In Madrid where I live, a bespokesuit starts at 3.500€ and goes up based on different materials and extras. In London it starts at 5.000£ and goes up from there but they are famous for the craftsmanship.

[@anotherone-xp9ox]

these are garbage

[@fredburns1995]

Some Stores here in New York City 🌃 just take your measurements, let you select fabric then they have the suit made in China or Vietnam . There are also people from these manufacturers that travel the world rent hotel rooms and advertise . Then people come to the hotel room where measurements are taken , fabric selected and they buy suits that way . Then they meet up again in a month or 2 and get the finished suit .

[@stevenjb.9275]

That suit looked great. Time will tell on the longevity. The price, you could not get anything of quality off the rack in the States for that. The shoes. I had custom shoes made in the States about 30-years back. They were $800-900 USD. I contacted a custom shoe shop last year, $800. Good job, worth the trip.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Ya I'm pretty happy with everything overall. I got the shoes back yesterday and they are perfect. I'm most happy with the shoes because I can wear those plenty even though I won't wear a suit too often.

[@proud4373]

Wow! A 2-day handmade tailored suit in America would cost you an arm and a leg.

[@jamesdevonport]

We're in Hoi An at the moment and this video was so great for deciding where to go and how the whole process works. I'm sure you both looked incredible at the wedding in them!

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the message buddy

[@paulspenceruk1]

A cheap (nasty) off the peg suit in Southern Ireland is about £150 (180 euro) - possibly more now, as I haven't looked just recently

[@donovandavis5310]

None of my custom suits were less than $2k. I have a Loro Piana Super 150 I paid almost $4k 25yrs ago. You did great 👍🏼 (P.S. Never close the bottom button on your jacket) Enjoy the wedding 😊

[@TravisTravelsVN]

What's the idea with the bottom button, I have heard that before but thanks for the reminder

[@DainoSerus]

@@TravisTravelsVN It's mostly for ease of movement! Last button on a waistcoat & Suit jacket the last button is always left unbuttoned. If a suit jacket has 3 buttons, you button the middle, if it has 2 you button the top one. If you sit down, you unbutton the jacket. It also puts less strain on the garment, and as said, lets you move more freely and makes the jacket look better overall

[@user-xg6yc8ho3w]

Great and interesting video. Different. I think your suit looks good and the price is waaaaay cheap compared to the USA or Australia. Especially for one tailor made from scratch just for you. 👍🏻

[@fredburns1995]

Custom made suits start at $800 in New York City at an established old school tailors. , but now some internet stores offer at like $475 . Plus it all depends on the quality and fabric . Custom made shoes are not very common here . Mostly wealthy people or people with odd shaped or odd sized feet. Like a big football, basketball player . So shoes at least $1,000 I would say .

[@KK-FL]

The dress!! 😍😍

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I think she's pretty happy with it 😊

[@robbiewillford4601]

Looking good, you two, weddings are fun and great memories. Have a blast!

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Cheers Robbie I appreciate the message buddy

[@daisyblack1098]

Very smart , and I would say a very good deal We live in Jersey Channel Islands and would have to fly to London to have anything hand made You would be talking thousands not hundreds for quality Looking forward to the wedding , we’re flying to Hanoi in November

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I'm feeling better about the purchase already. Check out my travel group, should be helpful for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about

[@fullaudiobookfree]

Hey Travis. I am in Da Nang for the next month. thank you for this video!!

[@AdrianDunstan-r6u]

Hi Travis Just wondering if you could do a episode on fake sneakers good quality ones to buy. You mentioned it in last episode. Travelling to da nang in March from Australia. Cheers Adrian

[@Deepdriveuk]

Great video as always, I would be interested in a video showing the cost at local markets for clothes and sneakers. Personally I’m wondering if I should buy my shirts and t shirts in the uk or just buy things over there. Thanks man

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I'll do a market video soon. Clothes are really cheap, nike t shirts for $4. The shoes are not great quality, I buy from a shop on FB called Bioline that will ship anywhere in VN. I've got a travel group you should join. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about

[@philtarley5897]

What is the material? 100% wool. Tropical wool. Where is the material made?

[@tomkim6568]

From my perspective as a Vietnamese, the price is too high.

[@StillWaters-]

Do they have Egyptian ginza 45? I’ve heard it can be had in India for less than 50 a shirt !

[@Delitewon]

I cannot believe how many adult males have never worn or own a suit in their lives. 🙈

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I've rented a suit a handful of times, just don't wear often enough to justify buying in America. But damn you feel good in a suit right?

[@Delitewon]

Bro, I like to look nice and wear nice things. I am not the type of man who wears sweats, jeans, and sneakers at every occasion. I have many suits because I worked in corporate America for about twenty years. I also like bespoke dress shoes. Further, I have a sneaker collection. I believe every man should have at least one suit in his wardrobe. And yes, I do look good in suits.

[@olekspin]

Ah, at first moment I was hoping that you need a suit for your wedding ;)

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Eventually!

[@VuTranpa1]

I am just curious. Did you bargain for these items or just paid for whatever the sale women asked for. I would definitely get a suit next time. It looks amazing.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

The price is pretty much set so no bargaining. You could definitely get a discount if you ordered multiple items

[@VuTranpa1]

@@TravisTravelsVN Thank you. Love your stuff. I send some very well-informed videos of yours to a good friend at work. It opens up a whole new world for him so now he’s very inspired to retire overseas someday. Myself, I am almost there. 2026 can’t come fast enough. Thailand and Vietnam, I am coming for you.

[@quangb8448]

Where do you get the Jordan knock offs? Han Market? I find the knock offs at the Han Market are low quality where the soles wear off quickly and the logos are just glued on.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

[@quangb8448]

@@TravisTravelsVN thanks!

[@DainoSerus]

Hey Travis! What kind of fabric and construction was the suit? Wool, polyster, a blend? Also if it's fused, half canvas or full canvas (For the price i'm guessing a blend and Fused construction) I am going to HCMC and Da Nang+Hoi An next year in March purely for suits and other clothing items. Any advice? :D

[@TravisTravelsVN]

They had a few types of fabrics, this was either wool or wool/cashmere I remember her mentioning at some point. No idea about half/full canvas. I didn't ask too many questions. There are so many options in Hoi An, I saw some other shops that looked very fancy. So I'm pretty sure you could get anything you're looking for

[@user-km2bz8iy5o]

@@TravisTravelsVN the thing i don't like about hoi an tailors is precisely this, they don't inform you about your options or give you a menu of options for features. there's just a lookbook and a fabric swatch and off you go. so if you don't ask about pick stitching, lapel roll, half/fall canvas, they will assume you are not knowledgeable and default to whatever is cheaper and faster for them to make.

[@judylytle1730]

Hi Travis, what is the name of the shoe place and location? We are thinking of getting a pair of custom shoes made too.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

It's called "I love Fashion"

Did you have a video about the wedding? I'd love to see your girlfriend's dress, I could only see the back.

[@L3462-f1r]

It's unfortunate that the young man was unaware of being taken advantage of. The workers at those stores are paid very little and often charge higher prices to foreigners. Local Vietnamese avoid those shops because they are aware of the situation.

[@GiangHoang-hd8uk]

Salary pay on local.

[@L3462-f1r]

and the cost of clothes is very high! Scams

[@GiangHoang-hd8uk]

@@L3462-f1r no, it reasonable price. The KZbinrs is not stupid and the shop high price when showing on the internet the shop will close after 1 year due to no people or tourist come to buy. Do you thing youtuber and shop owner are stupid?

[@anotherone-xp9ox]

Cheapest yes. Best no. The stitching will fall apart and the buttons are plastic. The details matter. "Good from far but far from good" applies here

[@Austin-sv6io]

The fabric and buttons are up to the client. Viet tailoring is some of the best in the world and it's pretty insulting to assume someone who's worked a sweatshop for Nike and Carhart since they were 9 years old wouldn't know how to throw a proper stitch.

[@herewego9939]

@@Austin-sv6io failed attempt to be witty. never have 9 year olds worked in sweat shops stitching up shoes anywhere in the world. Kids simply havent developed the fine motor skills/dexterity in their hands to put together something nice.

[@user-km2bz8iy5o]

​@@Austin-sv6io "up to the client" is true on paper, but is less true in those touristy Hoi An shophouses than in proper tailoring shops in Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, or even Saigon. the thing i don't like about hoi an tailors is they don't inform you about your options or give you a menu of features. there's just a lookbook and a fabric swatch and off you go. so if you don't ask about pick stitching, lapel roll, half/fall canvas, they will assume you are not knowledgeable and default to whatever is cheaper and faster for them to make.

[@wendygordon1888]

@@user-km2bz8iy5o I’m a dressmaker from Australia and I don’t know what you mean by pick stitching and half/fall canvas. Is the half fall canvas referring to canvas used for interfacing the collar etc

[@wendygordon1888]

Oh yes I’ve just gpt’d the above. I do know that if cheap fusible interfacing is used it can destroy garments. Particularly shirts. Yes a full breathable lining can really make a tailored top. Thanks for drawing our attention to this. I’m heading to Hoi Ann in February. Have you got a preferred tailor over there? Kind regards Wendy
