Price report, Q3 2026

Worth it or not

Made-to-measure suits, shirts, trousers and jackets at tailors around Sukhumvit and Pratunam, plus leather work. The gap is widest on the fully tailored, heavily worked pieces: a wool overcoat, a made-to-measure suit, a leather jacket. It closes completely on simple labour, and a shoe repair or an alteration is cheaper in the Netherlands, which is worth knowing before carrying a bag of repairs onto a plane.

Bangkok tailors quote in fabric tiers rather than in single prices, so the same garment can appear at three or four different numbers depending on the cloth, and the low end of a range is a different jacket from the top end. Ask which mill the fabric comes from before agreeing a price. Time is the other constraint: a suit worth having needs two or three fittings across several days, so this is a decision about the length of the trip rather than about the price.

Unit: per pair. Scope check: Fetched the repair catalogue: 'Rubber Half Sole - 1,300.00', alongside 'All Sole Resole 4,500-7,500' and 'Heel and Top Lift 1,200-1,500'. A half-sole is a shoe repair per pair and is the like-for-like for our home references, which are half-sole and sole-and-heel jobs (UK 'Half leather sole and heel 54.00', US 'Rubber 1/2 Soles $40+', DE 'Sohlen + Absatze Leder ab 45,30'). The existing Resh row is the full resole, a bigger job. READ THIS: the site already carries a Resh row for shoe-repair-per-pair at 4,500 to 7,500 THB, which is the FULL RESOLE. Our home reference prices for that item are half-sole-and-heel jobs (NL 15 to 89.75 EUR, UK 27.50 to 54 GBP, US 50 to 80.95 USD, DE 45.30 EUR, AU 89.90 AUD), so the Bangkok side is currently a much bigger job than the home side and the comparison flatters Bangkok's dearness. THIS row, the rubber half sole at 1,300 THB, is the like-for-like job for most of those home references. It is a single fixed price with no range, confirmed in the page's JSON-LD as price 1300.00 priceCurrency THB. The product page's Thai description says the rubber is Vibram. Men's; the women's versi

Unit: per shirt. Block heading says prices include fabric and fitting. CAUTION: the label '100% Cotton' appears TWICE on this page, once in the men's shirt block at 1,500-2,250 and once in the women's blouse block at 1,700-2,350, so only the figure identifies the row. Entry tier is a cotton-microfibre blend at 1,250; linen 2,300, silk 2,500.

Base make price under 'Casual Tailoring'. The trailing '+' is the page's own way of writing a starting price, so indicative. CRITICAL SCOPE: the note at the foot of the rate card says 'Prices include lining, buttons and other details, but exclude fabric', so this is the making cost and the cloth is quoted on top. The cloth-named rows beneath it (premium cotton 3,000, Egyptian 140/2 cotton 3,500, European linen 3,500, Zegna/Thomas Mason 8,000+) read as cloth-inclusive, so the page is not consistent about this and a comparison against a cloth-inclusive home price will understate.

Unit: per garment. The heading is 'PANTS/VESTS', so ONE price covers both a pair of trousers and a waistcoat and the page does not separate them.

Unit: per suit. The single most important line on this page is the block heading above the suits: 'Prices include fabric and fitting costs, and all other standard costs associated with a custom suit.' That makes these figures directly comparable with a Western made-to-measure quote, unlike Laleda's, which exclude the cloth. It also says the ladies' price is the same for a skirt suit or a trouser suit, so a suit here is a jacket plus one lower garment, i.e. two-piece; a waistcoat is a separate block. Mapped on the 100% wool tier because that is what a Western made-to-measure suit is; the entry tier is microfibre at 7,000 and the top is Guabello Super 120's at 23,000.

CURRENCY: these lines print no symbol at all; the currency is established higher on the same page, where the package cards read 'All For: THB 46,200', and every figure on the page is baht. The page does not say whether a suit is two-piece or three-piece, which is the one thing that would settle whether it is really our item.
