    How much does Dung charge for a shirt? Shirts run between $20-25

    Suits in Vietnam...

    i went to Lam tailor across from Notre Dame in D1. I didnt have time to do the tons of fittings that Dung required, but I can say I am more than happy with my suit. Can't wait to go back.. Lam is my top tailor for suits, I think the quality is even better than Dung. Not that Dung is bad...

    Suits in Vietnam...

    I sure wish I had access to Dung so that ******* could go further. Just picked up 4 more shirts from Dung this afternoon, as always they fit my awkward dimensions perfectly, are made of top-quality imported cotton, and have been customized to my specific instructions.

    Suits in Vietnam...

    Even a MTM suit in ordered in London or online and made in Portugal or the czech republic would likely fit better and be of better quality than the Vietnamese suit. I don't think I or any of the other forum members who live in Vietnam have been disappointed by the outstanding quality and...

    Suits in Vietnam...

    Just curious, is Huynh Hoan Tailor still around? They would be located at 13 Phan-Van-Dat in Saigon. At least, that's where they once were. My father claims they were the best tailors back in the day. There's still a Phan Van Dat street downtown, in District 1 near the river. Not sure if it is...

    Which Airports Are a Destination in Themselves?

    Good Airports and Bad Airports I don't mean to resurrect a thread that has had no activity for over a year, but I find it to be very interesting. I don't think any airport can beat Singapore Changi International. It is a destination in itself, well worth spending time there with a lot of...

    Smoking on Airplanes.

    In 2002, I flew from Havana to Madrid on Air Europa. Smoking was still allowed at that time on EU carriers. It was fun to see everyone in the smoking section with a Cuban cigar in their mouths. The cigars must have helped to make up for the airline's bad service.

    Fabric Shopping In Cairo

    I didn't see any cotton fabric for sale either, except for use as drapes, and a few bales of raw cotton. There are a lot of fabric dealers on Gawhar al-Qaid or al-Muski street, about a block or two west of al-Muizz street, who sell what appears to be low-quality wool for suits. It might be...

    Fabric Shopping In Cairo

    Hi, guys, I'm going to Cairo in a few days, and was wondering if any of you knew if it's a good place to buy cotton fabric that I could take back to my tailor to have some shirts made. I'm also looking for seersucker for a suit, haven't found it so far in Asia, where I live. Egypt is of course...

    Dry Cleaning in Saigon

    Hi, guys. Just wondering if any of the forum members in Ho Chi Minh City can recommend a good place for suit cleaning & pressing here. Thanks

    Suits in Vietnam...

    Hi guys, remember me? Haven't been online in a while, just remembered I never posted a picture of my suit from Dung, so here it is, as worn at my work Xmas party. You can't really tell in this picture because of the way my arms are folded, but one sleeve is about 2 cm longer than the other, I...

    presidential election fashion

    Here's the way it should have been done. JFK had the money and the connections to make sure he was dressed in an appropriate suit, and the pocket square is a very nice touch. Even Tricky Dick is wearing a nice suit. And in the next picture, we have Gerry Ford and Jimmy Carter in the middle of...

    presidential election fashion

    Here's another good picture from the debate. Look at the collars on McCain's jacket and shirt. The jacket should never ride up that high against the back of the shirt collar, it makes his outfit look cheap, and makes him look like he has no understanding of style. Which he probably doesn't. Or...

    presidential election fashion

    http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=76696 I don't want this thread to devolve into some sort of sick Sara-Palin-in-a-bikini thing, like that other thread did. Let's focus on the most important campaign issue: What will our next president be wearing? I've seen Obama wearing the tie in...

    presidential election fashion

    Here's another one. McCain looks uncomfortable in his Cosa Nostra pinstripe suit. I always thought that pattern only looks good on double-breasted suits. Lieberman's suit fits okay, but the sleeves are too long. Note Sec. Gates's exposed tie.
