How to Get a Sharp Suit in Chiang Mai: A Tailor’s Straight Talk

You’re in Chiang Mai, and you’re thinking about getting a suit. Smart. It’s one of the few places left where you can get real tailoring done fast, with good fabric, at a fair price. I’ve been doing this here for nearly two decades. No gimmicks. No marketing team. Just me, my shop, and a tape around my neck.

If you’ve got a few days in town and want to leave with something that fits like it was made for you — because it was — here’s what matters. Simple, clean, real talk. That’s it.


Fit Comes First

When someone tries on a suit that fits right, you see it immediately. The shoulders land clean, the sleeves break just above the wrist, the whole thing moves with the body like it belongs there. That doesn’t happen by guessing. That happens by fitting.

I work in two stages. First, we measure and build the basic shape. Second, we refine — fix the posture, trim the sleeve pitch, clean up the seat. A suit is like a second skin. If it doesn’t move with you, it works against you. I never skip fittings. You wouldn’t believe what a half-inch can do to the way a jacket hangs.


The Fabric You Choose Becomes the Suit You Wear

I don’t pick fabric for you. I show you options, and I let your hands decide. Wool feels dry and alive. Linen breathes. Cotton moves well in heat. I keep Italian wools for structure, Thai silks for air, and blends for when you need flexibility without losing shape. Each one behaves different. You’ll feel it.

When someone asks me what’s best, I ask them: where are you wearing it? What’s the weather like there? How often will you use it? Your answers tell me more than any catalog ever could. Then we pick the cloth that suits your life, not just your look.


Know What You’re Getting — and When

In my shop, you get the full price on day one. Jacket, trousers, lining, buttons — the whole job. I tell you what it’ll cost and when it’ll be ready. I don’t play around with “starting from” or “maybe ready tomorrow.” We agree. We deliver. Simple as that.

Most suits take about three days. That gives me time to do it right — measure, cut, fit, adjust, finish. If you’re on a tight schedule, we’ll work with it. But we never cut corners. I’d rather say no to a rush job than send you out in something half-done.


Style Comes From Fit, Not Flash

Some guys come in with a photo. That’s fine. We can take inspiration. But the best suits don’t copy—they match the person. Your height, your build, your posture, even how you stand when you’re relaxed — all of that shapes the final result.

I’ll help you pick lapel width, button stance, vent style — all the little choices that make a suit feel like it belongs on you, not on a mannequin. And if you’re not sure what works? That’s my job. I’ve dressed guys for weddings, business trips, court appearances, film sets — you name it. I know what holds up.


What It’s Like in the Shop

You walk in. I hand you a cold drink. We sit for a minute. I ask you what you need, what it’s for, what kind of fit you like. I listen more than I talk. Then we start. You pick cloth. I take measurements — not just a few, but full-body: shoulders, chest, arms, seat, rise, stance. It’s fast, but precise.

Fitting is quiet work. I check seams, balance the line, pin with care. When it’s ready, you try it on. I watch how you move. We adjust. You smile. That’s when I know it’s done right.


Want One?

Come in. No pressure. No appointment needed. I’ll walk you through it, show you the fabric, measure you up, and have you flying out looking sharp. One visit, two fittings, done.
