I may have to make some adjuments to my suit (torso), but I guess the shop won't do it.
Do you guys know any good tailor? |

| Walk down the street in Itaewon. Many people will say "Suit?" Ask one of them. |

Go to Zenith in the COEX basement. They're in the Grand Intercontinental Hotel shopping arcade area. |

For alterations? I don't know. For a suit, you're looking at around a million won but it depends on the fabric you choose.
From personal experience, I think Hahn's is the best tailor in Itaewon. Most tailors outsource their work but they actually have an in-house shop near their storefront. I think Zenith does an overall better job and I like their cut better but you do pay for it. |

The thing is, the tailors will be friendly if you want alterations to a suit they made, but perhaps not suits that were made elsewhere.
Maybe I'll try Hahn's. |

I've been to Hahn's and finally got a new suit there... the person seems to have done a good job. And not expensive I'd say.
Thanks again for your inputs guys. |

i just had my first suit made by alpha custom tailor in itaewon. it's a skirt, jacket, and shirt... for 400$.
i love the suit, and he swears he'll charge less for any subsequent suits. but i'd really like to know how much anyone else paid for their suits. |

| It starts from 450$ for a jacket and a pant at Hahn's. |

| I have heard good things about Kangs in Itaewon. I know a few people who purchased pants and suits from him. The only warning they gave is to make sure that the rear fits properly. |
