We are proud and honored to be featured by Mariko Chan blog. They named us the best tailor in Bangkok and the tailor of choice for Japanese tourist and expats in Bangkok. Tailor of choice in Bangkok Japanese are known to be the one of the most well educated in fashion particularly men suits. Their knowledge in fabrics is far superior to fellow European or American in general. They are acquainted with  fabric quality and mills thoroughly like yarns, threat count, weight, density etc. They are of course not be as fashion savvy like the Italians because they generally stick with the classics. Japanese prefer classic color like navy and pattern like pinstripe. But they are not the one who would compromise on quality of the fabric; most often or not a Japanese client entering our store would go for Italian mill fabric like Vitale Barberis Canonico. The number of Japanese expats in Thailand has multiply over the years so has the Japanese restaurant. Mariko Chan is the number #1 Japanese blogger or influencer in Thailand. She convinced her husband to make a hopsack suit 2 years back and was bowled over the quality of our bespoke suit that she decided to write about us. Two weeks back, when her husband needed a new navy suit, the name that pop into their head was “Universal Tailors”. You can read the full Japanese editorial in full below: http://marikochan.jp/bangkok-suit/ She touch upon how Universal Tailor is different than the rest. How the entire process works from measurement, consultation to mandatory 3 fittings. Interesting she shared her husband experience where he was complimented by strangers on how well his suit & shirt fits.

She was born and raised in Japan and lived a very conservation traditional life. She would dream of overseas life and working abroad through her teens. It turned into reality when she got married. She moved to Thailand few years back and decided to write a blog to help educate the Japanese coming and living here in Thailand. When she approached us to write a blog on Universal Tailors, we were more than happy. She started off explaining about the tailoring scam in Thailand and how the market is flooded with cheap tailors. Then she pointed how on why she chose Universal Tailors and the step involve in getting a true handmade bespoke suit. Mariko’s husband decided to make a royal blue hopsack three piece suit. It is indeed a beautiful fabric to beat the heat in Bangkok. The hopsack is a  loose weave all wool fabric which allows easy passage of air through the fabric. The slim modern fitted hopsack three piece suit looks magnificent on her husband, Thomas. Thanks to Mariko for the in detail explanation on how to reach us through skytrain from Chongnonsi. It would indeed be a great help to the reader. The BTS skytrain is definitely the way to beat the crazy Bangkok traffic. To read the full orirginal article (in Japanese) please click here

We remember when one of the freelance local writer/photographer  made a sudden surprise visit to our store. He started taking pictures while we were busy consulting with our client. The writer touch upon the fact that Bangkok tailoring scene is full of scam. The so called tailors put up deals that is too good to be true; eg: 100$ for 1 suit.  To help avoid this, the city guide picked three tailors and highlighted us as the top tailor in Bangkok and Silom (street full of tailors). And guess what?  Mr. Ronnie, the head hancho and founder of Univeral Tailors were featured on the cover page. The writer captured him while crunching and totaling up the numbers.

Bespokeable offers Visual product customization & commerce solutions.  It’s a platform that allows the user to easily display & sell custom-made goods online. This is one of the first press release we had. Bespokeable contacted us as they wanted to ventured their online product customization into tailoring website. They did extensive reach and found us to be one of the most popular tailor in Bangkok, Thailand.  They also interviewed couple of other Bangkok tailors but as you can see our name comes first in the hierarchy. We shared our thoughts on the increasing need for a successful website displaying all the fabrics and styles for our customers. The fact is that it is has become a very important aspect of our business as our clients (90% being foreigner) cannot visit our flagship store year after after so they would like the option to use their saved measurement and purchase additional suits and shirts.
