Fitting Tips
- Always get at least 2 fittings — initial measurement and final adjustment
- Bring a photo of exactly what you want (style, lapel type, buttons)
- Feel the fabric yourself — ask for fabric swatches if ordering multiple items
- Don't fall for '3 suits for 3,000 baht' deals — quality will be terrible
- Ask about canvassed vs fused construction for suits (canvassed is superior)
- Check the lining fabric — it should feel smooth, not rough polyester
- Allow extra days for alterations — rush jobs often mean poor finishing
- Negotiate price for multiple items — 10-20% discount is common for bulk orders
