Need to read through this for shirts, I want to get a couple made while I'm out there.

The owner had worked as a tailor before, so he has a good understanding of patterns.
The phone number is 02-2233-0068 and it's in Dong-A Heitz apartment.

i ordered another jantzen shirt, from hongkong, on their website because of low price and more fabric choices. some guys from other thread said that the craftmanship of jantzen was much better compared with its price range although need to wait for one month.

hey guys, i'm gonna revive this thread.

anyway, i'll be in seoul around january next year for 1 week. Is it possible to get a 2 piece suit made within 1 week? Any suggestions on tailors? i should be staying around insadong area.

Also, will there be any issues if i'm unsure exactly what i want? all i know is i don't need something top of the range (i only recently started working). Particularly looking for 2 button in grey.

You can request and get the suit finished in a week with no problems. There won't be any issues if you are just looking for a standard 2 button in grey. If you're really worried, you could always bring a picture of what you want with you.

Does the tailor at Hahn speak English well enough? Also which fabric should i be choosing for the entry level 500k Won suits? Anything i should be specific about ie. slim fitting etc.
