How much does a tailor-made suit cost in 2026? The UK, the US and Australia against Hoi An

How to read it
Every figure is a published price with its date, and each item links to its own page with the sources. Fabric decides most of the bill on both sides, so a range spans the cloth as much as the shops. The saving is the cautious reading: the lowest price at home against the highest price in Hoi An, both in euro.
Nobody flies for one suit. If the trip happens anyway, the saving is what one piece is worth, and a good result still needs two or three fittings over several days.
