If that's your price range then maybe you should visit Hahn's and Savile Row. They are right next to each other.



Someone reported that Savile Row produced quiet a decent coat for him last week. Suggest 'search' for this.

Greetings.
I am looking to have some clothes (couple blazers and dress shirts) made for me, BUT I live in the Centum City area of Haeundae in Busan. By any chance, would anyone be able to recommend a couple tailors/shops to me that might be local to Busan?

My budget is fairly high end though not extravagant. I want quality and mostly want great fit.

going back to Korea later this month
looking forward to stopping by Savile Row to commission another suit, some wool pants, and might ask to have a matching vest made for another suit

has anyone had a PATTERNED suit made at Savile Row? i've only done two solid color suits so far because i didn't want to complicate things with a pattern
but this time, i'm thinking about perhaps going with a windowpane or something like that

I basically had a jacket made in the same pattern made for me a while back, but with a lighter blue. Yea, the pattern matching is pretty good at Savile Row.

I'm tempted to get a light brown sports jacket with patch pockets for the spring.

Where is a good place to go in Seoul these days for tailored shirts around $100 or less? And how long do they take to be made?

Near Itaewon.


If in Itaewon, all the shirts will start around 60,000 won. Basically, the shop will take your measurements and send it to the same place everyone else is using. I've been going to Savile Row.

Damn misleading.
If you are looking for a decent quality tailor for alternations chk out 'bespoken' in seoul. I hear one of the tailor 'Mr Son (pronounced Soun)' does a decent job. I believe they handle all the work comm by 'Lansmere' near by. (they carry attolini and high end stuff). LMK and ill try to grab exact location :)
