Bangkok Paul’s Fashion Tailor
18 March, 2011There are lots of tailor shops in Bangkok but you can expect a huge variance in quality and prices for the same tailor-made shirt. Avoid those which rely on dishonest taxi or tuk-tuk drivers to bring unsuspecting customers to their shops. The premium you are paying for your shirts/suits will most likely go to their commissions.
If in doubt, check out forums and word-of-mouth referrals for good honest tailors e.g we found Paul’s Fashion through a referral from a friend. Paul’s Fashion is located in Amari Watergate Hotel, just opposite the popular fashion mall – Platinum Mall and beside another popular shopping haunt – Pratunam Market. The Paul’s Fashion is now run by Mr Mike Gulati whose father, Paul started the shop here 13 years ago. As Paul’s Fashion reputation for good workmanship and reasonable price grew, so did competitors who set up shop just opposite Paul’s Fashion. When we visited the Paul’s Fashion, we counted at least 4 other tailor shops around it on the same level of Amari Watergate Hotel – one of which was only just open for a week!
Not sure whether you want single breasted suit with one/two/three buttons or a double breasted suit or whether to get a Napolean or Button Down collar? There are lots of references available from magazines and books in the shop and ask Ram, the shop manager who can provide you with recommendations on what’s suitable for your body type.
There is also little hassle in making a custom suit and shirt. Ram noted down my preferences for cloth quality and design and made the necessary measurements within an hour during my first visit. I came back the next day for a quick 30-minute fitting (which explains the makeshift suit in the picture above). With Platinum Mall just across the street, we will have to come back for more shopping anyway so it wasn’t a hassle returning for the fitting session. Paul’s Fashion then delivered the custom-made suit and shirts the next day evening (suit, 3 shirts and 2 pants all tailor-made in less than 3 days).
If you are looking for good quality workmanship at reasonable prices, you can check out Paul’s Fashion. They offer a special package exclusively for Singaporeans – for 7900 Thai Baht, you will get this set: 1 suit (comes with 1 trouser) + 1 extra trouser + 2 shirts + 2 ties. Tell them that you are referred by PassportChop.com and you will get an additional 10% discount on your purchase. Don’t worry, PassportChop.com does not take a single cent from such purchases. 🙂
Update (19 March 2013): New package available at Paul’s Fashion – 3 Shirts and 2 Trousers at 4999 Thai Baht Sorry, this promotion is no longer available!

24 May, 2011 at 9:27 amI was there sometimes ago to do my shirt & pants.. as timing was quite rush, I didn’t have much time to try out all of them before I have to fly back home.
When I am back, I realise that ONLY one piece of shirt I can fit & that is NOT really my custom shirt as it’s off shelf (The measurement is abit off too not to say much..)
I wrote an email back to them telling them the tightness of the shirts & pant. They replied my mail asking me to mail my cloth back to them & they will mail back once complete.
Guess what?! After I mail to them & drop them an email, none of my email is being replied. I really doubt their sincerity in doing decent business. I am utterly DISAPPOINTED with their business ethic. AND definitely, I WILL NOT go back to them again.
ps: I email them more than 3x after I mail my parcel over…
SO if u guys wanna go try them, do take note…

27 May, 2011 at 1:46 amHi guys, first of all great blog and i stumbled upon it while searching for places to shop around in Bangkok.
I am interested in tailoring long sleeve shirts for myself. I wonder if u guys or Mike could share with me the charges for tailoring a long sleeve shirt.
Thanks!

2 June, 2011 at 3:53 pmHi Jonathan,
I have tried all three stores inside the Amari Hotel,
Paul Fashion
Newmans
Alex fashions
The prices are very similar, but from experience, I think Alex has more older stocks of materials which tend to spoil faster. Newman was good but prices vary. I also liked Paul, but they do only basic designs.
Mike Gulati
3 June, 2011 at 5:54 amDear Jeffrey
Thanks for your comment
I would like to comment that we do not only do basic design, perhaps you have not been to us for sometime, we do various designs and styles…shirt with different single and double cuffs with or without inner linings , spread out collar or standard collar, regular fit or fitted shirts. Etc……
( same goes with suits )
We also do make design shirt from magazine you pick up or a copy shirt …
The next time you come to Thailand do give us another chance to prove to you the quality and different styles we can provide

3 June, 2011 at 5:13 pmMike,
Mia here, remember we had met in Singapore and then in Bangkok. I must say, I am very dissapointed with your quality. The dress which you delivered to us at Novotel Hotel was totally the wrong cut and the fitting was not good. My son’s shirts were ok. I waited for your staff to come pick up the clothes from the hotel for alterations but nobody came. Last month, my friends were in Bangkok and had clothes made from your neighbour, “Newmans” and their clothes are really wonderful.
My son would be visiting Bangkok again in August, hopefully you give more attention to him. I will be sending my dress back with him for alterations. You know Roger don’t even want my son to visit you again, but I have asked him to go back so that you can change the dress so that I can use it since I have already paid money for it.
mike gulati
4 June, 2011 at 12:17 amDear Mia
Thanks for your note
Really sorry for the dress that disappointed you…I must say last month our work
was over loaded and it was very busy in the shop ,.we apologize for the in-convenience.Please ask your son to drop by and i will make sure he’s taken good care of…about your dress please indicate exactly what needs to be done if possible get get pictures taken with the dress which will help verify the problem….
I promise you a perfect dress to your satisfaction otherwise we will refund you in full…
Do give us another chance ….

4 June, 2011 at 3:46 pmHi Mike, it is Matt from Chicago! I am still waiting on my suits, pants, and shirts to be delivered. I realize you are busy but it has been over 7 weeks, I have been waiting. Lets get this done.
Even though I have been waiting for some time for my garments. I will say that Mike was a very professional and cordial guy, it wasn’t about the sale, and assuming I get my items and they are spot on. I would use him again in a second. I will keep the board updated regarding the outcome.
Matt Schneider
26 October, 2011 at 10:07 amMike- It was great seeing you again yesterday and getting everything straightened out. I used Mike last time he was in Chicago to make some custom suits and shirts for me. The shirts , were spot on, the suits needed some tailoring but were well cut, and the material beautiful. All in all I would say that Pauls Fashion is remarkable in that they offer terrific prices and the quality you get it second to none.
mike gulati
4 June, 2011 at 4:59 pmDear Matt

Just want to confirm with you …after all the hassel with our unfortunate situation with the clothes got damage due to water (flood) now its all packed in …QC and ready to be couriered …It should take 3 working days to be in Chicago……Thanks for your patience and support …..I promise to do better and faster in the future.
As we have been in this business over 13 years with the policy to always accommodate all customers, with the quality and satisfaction…..

30 June, 2011 at 3:29 pmHi Mike, previously I made about 4 shirts from your shop at Amari Watergate. I love those shirts totally, and the material too! Will you be open on 8 Jul? I am planning to visit Thailand specially to make some more shirts for work and also for my wedding at the end of the year. Are you able to make shirts with double collars? See pic at following link. (http://fashioncollars.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/stacyds1830bg2.jpg) Any price differences? I am also intending to make a couple of pants and perhaps a suit for my wedding. I hope you give me good price! Also, just wondering if it is ok if I buy the material and you just provide the labour to make the shirt or pants? I am just talking about maybe just 1 pants where I will do that, just in case I cannot find the material from your shop. Btw, I am looking at those materials for pants which is a bit stretchable like those made for golf. Do you have?
mike gulati
2 July, 2011 at 5:54 pmDear Sir
We are open on the 8th of July…We are open everyday

Was at your shop last Friday with 3 friends. We were quite happy with our shirts overall although the place was a little cramped. Will recommend you to other friends visiting Bangkok. Cheers.
eliot Ho
23 July, 2011 at 6:59 pmMike,
My 3 friends had visited your store last week. They seem to be unhappy with your staffs unexperience. From what I understand, your staff seemed very unbothered to reply to their queries about the materials. I think you lost yourself some big clients. Theses people could have recomended to you many more of their friends. I believe they went and had clothes done at your neighbours store and were quite happy with the outcome. I have been your loyal customer for the past 5 years, but hope your staff would be more attentive to your clients, otherwise it would be very hard for me to recomend anymore of my friends to your store.
mike gulati
25 July, 2011 at 4:28 pmDear Eliot Ho
I m so sorry about that ….I ll have a word with the staffs
But i would want to say ..i was also there and we had alot of customers packed in the shop at the time ..all the staffs were very busy , and they came in but was not attended at the same time..We also had 2 other groups waiting outside the store …so your friends lost the patient and went to the neighbours …. I m glad there are content ….The fabric in my store are all high grade 2ply cotton ….hope they got that too…..Anyhow do apologise on my behalf ,and do ask them if they come back here give me another chance and i promise,with the staffs to be more attentive….Thanks for caring and reccomendation …we will improve our service…

18 October, 2011 at 11:31 amI was in Bangkok from the 12th to 15th of October 2011 and I was recommended by a friend of mine to visit Paul’s Fashion for tailored shirts. And I must say even though the prices in other shopping malls are more competitive I do not regret tailoring my shirt from Paul’s Fashion. The only thing i regret? Not making more shirts to bring back with me. Definitely recommending all my friends who needs tailored shirts to visit whenever they are in Bangkok!
Anyway Mike, I have sent you a few mails yesterday and I have received your replies fairly quickly, thank you very much for that, however after reading the comments from above, should I change the email address that I write to? So that it’s more convinent for you?

They also told me no further 10% discount will be given. Is your discount only apply to suit ? A bit disappointed that we had spent so much there and not even a single tie is given.
But I still must praise you for your good workmanship !! The shirts are all very well made.

1 September, 2012 at 3:33 pmhi, I just returned from my recent Bangkok trip. my friends & I had a very bad experience with the tailor shop next to Paul’s fashion in Amari Watergate hotel. Regretted for not doing homework & made the biggest mistake. The tailor is named ‘Newman Exclusive’. Their initial service attitude is superb but once u paid the deposit, they don’t bother to do any follow-up. I looked like a crown when I put on the so call finishing product. I can put a chicken each into the sleeveless shirt. After seeing that & they still have the cheecks to commend the shirt is fine after washing as the material is hard now. I do not accept the excuses & asked them to make it smaller. They refused & said nothing could be done. As they saw a customer walked in & afraid I would affect the business, the boss signaled to his worker to refund me. Though I got my refund but the way three worker passed me the money assume I m a begger. My god, do I rush back all the way to ask for this kind of treatment? What i want is just a justice & fairness.
Please let everyone know about my experience & don’t become the next victim. Thanks..

3 September, 2012 at 11:48 amHi there!
I randomly came across your blog and I must say that you have quite a number of important and useful tips for people who are going to travel to Bangkok. I am traveling to Bangkok next month and has yet to book any hotels as I am unsure which hotel would suit my needs best. I will be there for 5 days and 4 nights and as I was going through your blog, I found that you had your suit tailor-made at Paul’s Fashion. Just wondering if they do cater to women? If so, would you recommend me to get my suits tailored there, price-wise and time-wise?
Thanks!!
Zhiqiang & Tingyi
3 September, 2012 at 11:59 amTime-wise, its definitely more than enough – we spent about the same time there and had 2 fittings to check the size. Paul’s Fashion cater to women (my wife made her top there). Price-wise, it is reasonable for the quality offered – of course, there are cheaper options around but we havent tried them so cant comment.
For hotel, if you are into shopping – can consider one of the hotels around Platinum Mall area so u can use it as a base for your shopping trip.

10 January, 2013 at 9:02 amI found out about Paul’s Fashion on this website and have become a loyal customer since. Prices are really reasonable for the very good quality of fabric they provide. Making a suit here is fuss free, lots of fabric to choose from. I am clueless about how to choose the design but the friendly tailors at Paul’s Fashion are helpful and make good recommendations. Even my boyfriend who is German (Germans are notoriously demanding of quality and efficiency) is extremely satisfied. Back in Germany, quite a few of his colleagues has commended him for the Paul’s Fashion suits!
Just like the authors of the blog, making the suit here was hassle free for me. Saw many Singaporeans there but I did not have to wait long for my turn,they do have quite a few staff who can help you. I could spend the time browsing the tonnes of fabric, it was literally a sea of fabrics and you can definitely find something you like in the exact shade that you want. They do carry same design fabric but in different shades of color so for example if it is blue you want, there must be like 4-5 different shades you can choose from. Its like a shopping paradise, so do allocate enough time for yourself to be there to choose the fabrics. After that, the measurements are taken down and you come back for a fitting the next day, and the day after, viola, you can collect your suits.
Paul’s Fashion’s is renowned even in US and Europe. The owner Mike flies often to Europe and US upon clients request to make suits there. Recently, he flew to where my boyfriend is based in Germany and took measurements and orders there. So if you do know of friends who are overseas but who appreciates good suits at better prices, you can contact Mike to pay a visit. If you are in Singapore, even better, Mike comes regularly to Singapore, just search for Paul Mike Gulati on facebook, add him and you will be kept informed of his Singapore schedule.
All in all. I thoroughly recommend Paul’s Fashion for their workmanship, service, quality and value.

15 January, 2013 at 2:00 pmHi, I am a customer from Singapore and I went to your shop to make a suit on 27dec. I was told that due to the peak holiday period, I could Only received my suit 2weeks later. Therefore I made the full payment, leave down my details and went back to Singapore. I was being served by ram. His service was good however till now I have not received my suit. I took up the passportchop package.
I just want to know why is it I have to wait so long and hope I be assured by the boss of Paul fashion that my suit will reach me soon.

2 February, 2013 at 10:25 pmHi Zhiqiang & Tingyi,
I am going to Bangkok end of March this year and one of the agendas is to tailor a suit. A friend of mine recommended me “Paul’s Fashion” as he made his suit there for his wedding 1-2 years ago, and he seemed pretty happy about his suit.
So, I started to Google about Paul’s Fashion and I found your blog.
As I had bad experience in Krabi (even though I didn’t make any due to bad service), I am grateful that I found Paul’s Fashion that many people recommended.
I do have a few questions here :
1) As Paul’s Fashion is getting more and more famous, can they still deliver in a short period? I only have 3 nights in Bangkok, on one hand, I hope they can rush for me, on the other hand, as human beings, we still hope for the reasonable quality =P
2) Is the design fashionable? I mean I still need to wear it at work, but I hope the design is more contemporary ; )
3) If I only need a suit with a pair of trousers, a shirt and a tie, how much doest it cost? I prefer to have 1 set first, if I am happy with it, I will definitely come back and tailor more.
4) You did mention about the 10% discount, what do I need to do to get the discount? Just mention that I am referred by Passportchop.com?
I hope I don’t sound like a fussy customer already =P
Hope to see your reply soon.
Thank you.
Lionel
Zhiqiang & Tingyi
4 February, 2013 at 12:02 amFor question (1) and (3), i will let Paul answer it.
On fashionable design, it is very subjective so can’t really answer it – I am not a very fashionable guy but I like the designs when I shopped at Paul’s Fashion. You have to judge for yourself when you are there – you are under no obligation to buy if you don’t like what you see but let Paul know and I am sure he can come up with designs that might be what you need.
For the discount, yes just tell Paul or his shop assistants and you should be able to get the discount.

20 February, 2013 at 2:32 amI ordered 2 suits from Mike and they weren’t even close to fitting. When I emailed him and told him about the issue he didn’t reply. I sent him another email threatening to send the suits back to him and telling him to reimburse my credit card. This time he replied by telling me to take pics of me wearing the suit and send them to him. He promised to reimburse me for any needed alterations.
When I brought the suits to a local tailor he told me the suits could not be altered because of how poorly they fit and the way they were cut. I emailed Mike again with the pics of me wearing the suit and telling him that they could not be tailored. He still hasn’t replied. I’ve sent him multiple emails to every email address he gave me and he still has not replied. I notified him of my intention to send the order back and asked for an exact address. Still no reply
I am now sending the whole order back to their shop and requesting a full refund. I am also disputing the transaction with my credit card company.
I also know of one other person who is currently having the same issues with this tailor.
Mike
25 February, 2013 at 4:57 pmDear Eamon
Please reply to the emails
I would like to refund you in full for the unsatisfaction clothes …
If you give us another chance >…Would make you a new batch of clothes with no Payment untill you are satisfied

27 February, 2013 at 3:11 amThank you Mike for getting back to me.
There were communication problems between Mike and I since I am one of his many international customers. When each of us figured out the actual issues he reimbursed in full and was very apologetic for the situation.
Mike Gulati is a very generous man and guaranteed my satisfaction in the future. I am very happy with the way things were handled.
The suits he made for me are of beautiful quality they just need to be altered for a better fit. Mike has promised to check out the flaws in the fitting next time he is in Chicago in March. I look forward to dealing with him again as the suits he made are of the highest quality.
Thank you Mike.

14 March, 2013 at 8:54 pmSorry, looks like you have earlier been recomending Paul Fashion and as of December you have been recomending Alex’s Fashions. My friends had clothes made at Alex’s and the staff at Alex’s Fashion’s informed them that you were given free clothes and more $$ to write good about them in your blog. Not very honest Singaporean like leh..
Mie Gulati
14 March, 2013 at 10:45 pmDear Anthony Liu
My name is Mike Gulati the owner of Paul’s Fashion
I read your comment and I have to put in my thoughts
I met Passportchop Author 2years ago Hiqiang & Tingyi
They came to our shop to make suits and I gave him my best deal and offer our best available fabric than ..He paid me in full with his credit card
Mr Hiqiang told me he was recommended by my old customers..
After the 1st and 2nd fitting after he saw what he is paying for he started to ask me few question about the history of my shop..where he has already commented on above profile….he took some pictures and Honest to God I thought its just another day …
But 2 months after that we started to have great customers from Singapore pouring in and Business picked up over the period 2012 Business was very good and we were not able to accept all the customers coming in We were not that ready …(Now 2013 I bought new factory more tailor more fabric just to make sure I wont let another customer disappointed that we cannot finish their clothes in time) …
All i will speak is from my experience with the Author of passportchop.com
I strongly doubt what your friend heard from the sales Neplai guy from Alex Fashions….Its unfair to hear from the worker instead of the Owner…
I wrote to the Author regarding his experience with Alex and he confirms that he read some reviews and decided to try and it will help his readers with 2 options Tailors on the same building …
I will say again to the author please keep up the good work and We from Paul’s fashion will do our level best to make all your readers and our clients satisfied …
Please reconsider…Thank you

18 March, 2013 at 12:46 pmI agree that the after service of Paul’s Fashion is below expected. There isn’t any after sales customer service. And the promotion on this website is not applicable anymore. They are charging more than stated or rather i am charged more than what is stated on the website. And i have shown them this website promotion, they said it is no longer applicable. Felt kinda cheated.
Mike Gulati
18 March, 2013 at 7:40 pmDear Marcus
Sorry for the inconvenience caused
Today We had Staff meeting and trust me when I say we had a very serious session regarding customer service after sale…..To be honest we never had any complain regarding that matter…All our clients have been given extra attention but sometimes When the staff are very busy ..its so much they can do …
I also did ask about the overcharged as you mention ….
Your interest was for the shirts trouser deals and Ram did explain that for that set deal we have material on the left ….which are fairly decent fabric but not our best top notch material ….than he showed you another set of fabric which is Shirts THB 1000 and Trouser THB 1500 those are higher notch fabric …We also the branded material for trouser thats starts from THB 2000
I feel its very harsh when you said about cheating as we have over the period of 10years served our clients around the globe…specially Singaporeans in the pass
5-6 Years …..please do write me or call or send me your mobile contact I will call you myself and make sure you feel more settle and on comfort zone …
As my policy customers always right and will do everything in my ability to make my customers satisfied ….
Please do let me know what I can do to make you feel better..
The clothes you purchased how do they fit ? Quality ?

24 March, 2013 at 9:28 pmI hv just make 2 suits with 2 pants & a blouse recently few days back in your shop. Standard is far below my expectation.
When I went to the shop, the staff says that their price is much more expensive than the rest of shop because of the quality. I was shown that inside the suite is hand stitch, that’s why more durable (Suite can last longer). Therefore I proceed to make 2 even though it more expensive than other shop. I thought I pay for the quality.
When I got the suits on the last day, I found out that things was not done as they claim. Reason given to me was that they don’t have enough time to do it.then I told them they should hv told me upfront! Worst part is that they push the responsible to me saying that I did not request for them to do hand stitch. Can you imagine you show us how gd your quality is & quote us a price based on that, but u did not deliver what u promise, how will I feel? I really feel very disappointed. One of your staff even deny that they show me. Frankly speaking, how would I know about hand stitch thing if you didn’t show to me?
For the blouse, what I saw in the magazine was 3 buttons at the collar neck , hence I requested to do the same. But what I got it, is just a simple blouse which is different from magazine.
When I wear to office,my colleague realize the 2 suit front collar is different length. Different is by 0.1 inch. The padding also out of position. I nearly faint. Never will I dare to recommend people to your shop again with such a bad experience.

27 March, 2013 at 8:43 pmDear Josephine
I have consulted with my staff
You came with big group and did check other shop prices too..
We honestly used our good quality fabrics , for our customers
Material do come in different categories
My staff gave you a very good price for 2 suits using a very good imported quality material…
THB 4000 for a suit using a high quality
I m confident when I say this you were quoted cheaper but fabric is local
I do apologies for the service that you were not happy regarding the finishing inside the jacket with out piping also regarding the style of the shirt
And later you have with shoulder problem which is totally in acceptable..all my clients leave our shop happy..
I would like to offer you total refund for the clothes …if you have to send the clothes back we will also cover the shipping charges …if you would wait for 3-6months we will keep as recorded .
I would like to offer you and optional
I would be coming to Singapore in may and if you can find time to meet me we can discuss the best way out ..if you can to alter at that stage or total refund.
Sorry for all inconvenience

26 March, 2013 at 10:44 pmDear Mike, I’m back in Singapore. First and foremost, I like all readers to know that I am no one with this blog, neither am I anyone with Paul’s Fashion. I am just anyone like yourself happen to find this blog. Whatever I am stating here is a true facts which I personally felt and is based upon my own opinion.
I like to say a very big thank you Mike for the price you maintained for me. It was at THB5000 for 3 shirts and 2 pants. The way I wanted my shirt to be, it was suppose to be higher in cost. Because there are many requirement such as inner pattern and additional of cloth to be at the pocket, additional inner collar and etc. I’m sorry if I didn’t get the terms correctly and I have no idea how it should be called. Let me continue with what I like about Paul’s Fashion first and then follow by what I don’t like.
The fabrics they have was really good. I haven’t really wear it because I just came back from Bangkok and have many things to settle. The shirt now is still inside the paper bag. However, during the fitting, when I put it on, immediately I know that the shirt fabrics are comfortable. I am a salesperson and have been wearing shirts for the last decade, and that is why I know that it is comfortable immediately when I put in on.
Their measurement was sharp. I said sharp because after the measurement, and during the fitting, the moment I put on the shirt and button up, wow…I know that it is exactly what I wanted. Exactly what I’ve come to expect. The cutting and the entire shirt fits me very very well. So well that it is even better than what I’ve done in our Singapore tailor. In conclusion, the shirt is flawless. Thank you very much Paul’s Fashion team and Mike. The 2 pants I made was also very comfortable. The moment I wear on it, I can feel that it is so soft and comfortable. With such a humid weather in Singapore, for sure I know that it is going to be very comfortable wearing their pants. Let us move on to the bad side.
I made 2 pants. Nowadays, the trend for men’s pants are slim cut and tight fitting. I like to do it that way and not those lose lose type where it looks like uncle or “ah pei” pants. I instructed the staff that I wanted my pants to be slim cut and tight fitting. They took down the measurement and I went for the fitting. During the first fitting, I tried on the first pant. The first pant was alright although still not up to what I wanted. But it is acceptable. So I tried the second pair, this one looks like “ah pei” and like those lose lose type. So I told the staff, this second pair is something I cannot accept. Ok, they make changed.
When I went back for the second fitting, it was slimmer fitting now, but still not that kind of slim that I wanted. So I asked the staff, can you make it slimmer? The staff gave me his opinion that it will not be nice to make it slimmer anymore. And he explained his opinion. Well, what he said make sense and I accepted. I thank him for his opinion, but I think he should respect the customer choice and respect the customer opinion and not his opinion. It is like when you order a coffee, the cafe manager told the customer that adding more sugar will spoilt the taste of the coffeebean. But if adding more sugar is something that the customer want, and is something that they will be happy, or something that the customer prefer, why not right? whether the coffee taste will be spoilt or not, at the end of the day, it is still the customer own taste and preferences. People who have studies about the consumer behaviour would probably know what I’m talking about. I didn’t insist the staff to make change again because I know that it will never be done properly if I were to insist. And then what happen? End up with disappointment again.
Mike is a very busy person. He has to run around for his work and not being able to station in the shop like the way his staff do. From the beginning to the end of everything, Mike kept promising to be around to see me and take care of me personally, but he didn’t. He promised to wait for me at the shop on the day of my arrival, but he didn’t. He promised to meet me during the day of my fitting to ensure everything was fine, but he didn’t.
Mike, as I can understand that you are not a salary worker where you have to station at the shop to look after customer. However, do not attempt to promise or commit something when you are not sure if you can make it. And remember this Mike, it takes a lifetime to build a reputation, and just 5 mins to ruin it. Don’t let the empty promise ruin your good reputation. Give a promise your customer wants to hear, and to deliver on that promise better than anyone else does. To deliver the promise no one else in your industry dares to make. Committed to keeping a promise no competitor would dare to make. This way, your customer like me Kelvin, would be very impressed.
My friends saw my shirt and asked me about it. Can you imagine what I’ve told them? Exactly what I have described here. And then can you imagine what is going to happen if the listener think it positively and what is going to happen if the listener think it negatively? You probably got the answer Mike.
The tailoring industry is already so competitive in Bangkok and anywhere in the world. How do you, as an owner, turn your Paul’s Fashion to a world class company? You first have to become a world class entrepreneur. Becoming a world class entrepreneur takes an enormous amount of uncommon skill. Developing that uncommon skill takes uncommon practice. And without the uncommon commitment…how can you achieve that world class company right? Meeting up with me as a customer is just a simple promise and yet you cannot even do it well. How can your customer entrust on your product Mike?
Any product and any industry can be known for anything special. Tailor is everywhere Mike, just like many other industries. What is so special about you? Is it because you promise to meet me that make you so special Mike? And I like to tell you, yes Mike, you are special because never have I ever met a tailor owner who would love to meet up and see through everything with a customer like myself. And that is what make you special. If any products and services that has got nothing special, then they are offering the world commodities, and commodities are the worst word in marketing. A product or service that has nothing special about it is a commodity and can compete only on price. You need luck to survive if you are selling commodity Mike.
I am quite upset that you didn’t deliver this simple promise that you made. There is no excuses or whatsoever, you just have to do it the moment you promised Mike. And if you can’t, don’t promise.
Finally, the last word of my thoughts, I am happy and satisfied Mike. I will come back again. And the next time when I’m back, you got to make sure you deliver your promise alright.

Greetings from USA Minneapolis
I m very glad that you liked our workmanship even though they was some recommendation on the trouser slimmer fit..
I had a word with the boys and they really felt that it will be too much…but I explained them regarding customers demand regardless…
I apologize for my absence during your visit even though we had a brief meeting at the hotel lobby when I came rushing back from the Factory …where I did say I ll be here to the next day to see the final product …
I m truly very sorry …I was really caught up with factory work …I did call Ram and ask about your garments …everything calls seem good news …
Truly sorry …I will keep in my mind to be more direct service..it’s very busy timing for me ..with USA trip on the line …
Truly sorry
But glad you are content

23 April, 2013 at 7:18 pmHi mike/Paul fashion,
I’ll be heading to BKK somewhere between 25th or 26th April to 1st May 2013. Any idea if you’ll be in the shop during this period of time. Paul Fashion was recommended by my friends as they are regulars there. They gave positive feedbacks thus far regarding the price, quality and workmanship, etc. I’m kinda particular specially with regards to the workmanship which is my main priority. As my friends lost the name card and couldn’t recall one particular tailor’s name. Instead, i was told to look for an older and serious looking tailor working there. Any idea who are they referring to? In addition, what’s the ideal time to avoid all the crowd? Fingers crossed, as I would prefer someone knowledgeable and with lots of experience to avoid any unwanted miscommunication and to expedite on the whole process. Looking forward to my first trip to you shop. Hope to hear from you soon. Khorb khun maaak na P’mike.

Thanks!

26 June, 2013 at 1:15 pmI am singaporean. My friend friend introduced me to your shop. The first impression is that your stuff are very friendly and they give very good price to us. 11500 bhat for a suit, 2 shirts and pants. However, the skills is far below expectations. We went down four four times for adjustment. For example, when I go down for fitting on the first set of pants, they adjust the measurements for us, however, they didn’t do it for the second pants. As such we need to make down another trip. For the suit, its quite obvious that the back, the sewing has problem. One side is longer then the other thats why the surface is uneven. But the stuff tell us is just need some pressing. When I go down yet again, the problem is still there
My question is, how would a tailor with such a high reputation deliver such unpromising work. If you guys are outsourcing tailors, please do not cut corners by hiring those unqualified ones. Also each time when major adjustment is made, the cloth will be damaged. We are paying for the top grade cloth material like armani and D&G. Please live up to customers’ expectations. If not your business will not last..

9 August, 2013 at 1:01 pmAwesome post! Bangkok is a great destination of Custom tailors where you can custom made suits, shirts, jackets, blazers, coats and pants as per your need. They are not only help to increase your personality but also improve your self- confidence level.

26 September, 2013 at 1:02 pmHi Mike,
Damien here, we met last year in Singapore. I had recomende some friends to your store earlier this year, however since we are no longer working together, I did not get to hear from him about his experience at your store. We met again a couple of days back and your topic came up. Here is what he told me.
My friend, Jevon visited your store with 6 of his friends on 18th January, your colleagues seemed least interested to tend to them infact they were more busy talking amongst themselves. Upon enquiring the price of the clothes, they were asked how many days were they in Bangkok for. Then one of your colleague recomended them to go and order clothes from another store in your arcade “Admire Fashion” They found it very strange but since they had made up their minds to have clothes tailored they went to Admire instead. Let me tell you of the 7 people who made clothes there 4 were not satisfied. On the last day Jevon even asked the guys there why did Paul recomend to have their clothes tailored there, to which they were told that one of your colleagues and one of the salesmen in Admire are brothers. I understand that you’ll must have some sort of an understanding, but why recommend them to the store where the quality is bad.
This is very sad, as I have recomended more friends to your store after that. Let me clarify, I am quite hesitant to recomend you further and will wait to get feedback from my other friends too.
Hope you can shed a few words to explain this.

Thanks for alerting me..I have no idea on this matter at all……
For a start I m sure they are no brothers …They talk as from same country background or friends…but i do have any clue they are related ….But Its not acceptable
Looking on positive side…Before May (Before expanding our factory ,machine and tailors) sometime we were not able to take more a days during the weekend….But still recommending to other shop is not acceptable….
Please,let me know estimate,month and date as,I just hired the 5th Staff to help service our clients…….
I have always made sure on with staff regarding service……Hope your friend can try us on they next trip ….I would promise special discount for the time lost and bad experience …….
I will comeback to you on this matter…
please do send me your contact number or email me at paulfashion@live.com

Would love to hear from you. Thank you in advance!

annoyed
18 February, 2015 at 10:53 pmRecent trip to Paul, there isn’t any discount after mentioning referred by passportchop.
No much explanation by the staff, have to top up for customization like double collar.
I tailored a suit and a few shirts, but upon delivery to hotel, there is a missing shirt. Not sure if it is an honest mistake by Paul fashion or it is their usual practice.
In my opinion, they are overrated, there are many other tailors offering cheaper packages.
Zhiqiang & Tingyi
19 February, 2015 at 9:44 amhi “annoyed” – Paul’s Fashion usually replies here to feedback; hopefully they can address the issue of the missing shirt. That is definitely not usual practice based on my own experience.
