Bespoke Suits
Hey all.
Just wondering whether anyone knew of any good tailors in Seoul, Korea.... I have to head over there for a couple of weeks for work and figured it might be a good opportunity to expand the suit wardrobe....
Cheers

i was there recently...whatever you do, do not get one in itaewon (most of the tailors there tell you the suits are great but they are really just trying to rip foreigners off). I looked at a couple tailors and was not impressed, make sure they take 30+ measurements; if they take only 10 or so, then it is not really a custom (especially bespoke) suit, but rather a tailored suit from a common cut. you can find a lot of info by googleing this topic.

The difference between a bespoke suit and an MTM is not in how many measurements are taken.

I would not recommend a bespoke suit in seoul. Itaewon, like felipz stated, should be avoided at all costs, but even at decent places the construction is pretty shoddy and the cut can be all over the place. I would save my money and order bespoke in the states. Unless of course, you are looking for cheaper options. Suiting is cheaper in korea but you get what you pay for.
