Explorer A Dong Silk: Custom Vietnam Tailor in Hoi An

From Canada, we travelled to Vietnam and based on the recommendation of a fashion-industry friend, made a b-line for A-Dong in Hoi An. It was our first trip to Vietnam and we were amazed by the sheer number (200+) tailor shops in Hoi An - a hotbed of custom made clothing, shoes etc. We learned that most of these shops have a formal 'pay for referral' network amongst hotel concierges and others in the tourist industry - except A-Dong. They rely on their work and quality reputation and it is a good one. As an example, while we were there getting our measurements (suits, shorts, dresses, overcoats, jackets, and more) we noted a returning customer back in town from Australia after a 4 year absence.





The quality of cloth and choice was very impressive and included high end English bespoke and Italian wools. The service was extraordinary, particularly with the lady who served me, Nhung. An associate, Moon, was also very helpful and my wife and 2 teenage daughters were well looked after by the staff who helped them.


We visited once to pick clothes (they have iPads to scan through various fashion choices - which was great for the girls) and twice again for first and second fittings and in a span of 3 days had a whole new wardrobe at incredibly favorable prices. I am guessing you could find a cheaper version of what we had made (by maybe $100 or so per suit) but we trusted our friend who really knows clothing and were more than pleased - I am guessing we paid about 1/4 of what I would pay in Canada for an equivalent quality suit with highest end fabric and impeccable tailoring. Hoi An is a great town to visit and A-Dong is a must go-to place when you get there. Enjoy.

Best tailor in Hoi An: Super service, wonderful materials and absolutely lovely ladies who work there

If you will ever visit Hoi An in central Vietnam , the best you can do is visiting a tailor and ask them for a customized suit. When I have been in this town a few weeks ago I asked a lot of people which tailor I should choose to produce such a suit for myself as there really exist a looot of different ones. And thank God I asked the right people who recommended me a shop called " A DONG SILK ". That was the best decision I could make. They simply offer the biggest variety of materials as well as the best quality I have seen after comparing a few different tailors, it just takes one to two days until the suit is being finished and the staff is friendly and competent . My recommendation: Ask for Hong who is working at A Dong Silk . She really knows what she is doing, advices you in the best way and also has a good taste. If I will ever go to Hoi An again I will definitely come back to A Dong Silk and ask them for not just one more suit. I really regret that I di...

Great Customer Service in Hoian

Image
My fiance and I got the following items made: - grooms suit - 2 business suits - several pocket squares - 3 groomsmen suits - a dress for wedding tea ceremony Overall, the customer service was excellent and we were happy with the experience. We would both recommend : - come in with a really clear and specific understanding of what you want, including photographs, patterns, and an idea of the material that you want. - speak up if you are unhappy or want any changes - they are very happy to accommodate (within reason), but save yourself any disappointment by making this clear early on - set aside enough time for several days of fittings - check over clothes prior to collection (one of our groomsmen's pants were missing its buttons - they were horrified when we pointed it out and quickly fixed it) We are both very thankful to Khanh , Phuong and Van  for their patience. They are all very knowledgeable and highly experienced and therefore able to provide advic...
