 Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 12:44 am Post subject: Suit advice needed now! |
 |
|
I need to buy a suit, which will only be used on very formal occasions e.g. very rarely.
I know you can get new shoes which look smart, but are cheap, at those open air stalls scattered around the place.
But where is the best place to buy a shirt, tie, matching jacket & trousers which look good, but aren't too expensive.
At the main entrance of homeplus there are loads of jackets there.
Any good advice would be appreciated. |

How much time do you have? This will take a week from the following store.
I made this post a month ago:

Good deal on a suit is a shop in Samsung dong called, "Dainty."
You can get two suits for 380,000, and they do a good job.
Call 02-569-7485.
I opted for one suit for 400,000, which was made of a higher-grade material, but the others are still well-made and look great.
Was considering getting two more, but I don't need them yet.
The woman doesn't speak English much, but she understands some. She's in her mid/late 30s, and was the first suit maker I've had that had me come back to try the suit on at mid-completion to double-check size.
We're happy.
I purchased one suit from one of the overpriced tailors in Itaewon (I say overpriced because the quality sucks) and I still have it 4 years later, but I don't wear it much. It continually falls apart at the leg seems, and needs repair 2 or 3 times a year, despite me not wearing it much. The material from the shoulder pads is working its way through, as well, so I have these little white balls of fuzz I constantly have to trim off. Pulling them makes more material come out.
Avoid the shops in Itaewon, as they all farm out their business to the cheapest shops at Chonggyechon anyway.

| you can get a suit tailor made for about the same as you would pay in a dept store. go to itaewon and talk to a few suit guys. be sure to say that the guy down the way gave a better price and start to walk out. you will get the deal you want and a suit that fits you |

Thanks. It has to be ready by Wednesday.
I may just buy one, as long as it fits. |
