Where to buy a suit in Dubai
So it's time for a new suit... Without breaking the bank, do I trust any of the bespoke tailors here, or should I just go off the peg? Any advice?

1. Get a ticket to Bangkok
2. Have a tailored suit or two made for you.
3. Enjoy the 3 days in Bangkok while the suit(s) is being stitched....

Satwa.
The place I've had all mine made here is Viva Style Lounge. Always done a good job and you can haggle.
Failing that, fly to Vietnam and go to Hoi An. I got one made overnight for 80 quid. It's like a glove. It makes me look even more handsome and impressive than ever.

Re: Where to buy a suit in Dubai
I just got a suit made this month - at 1000 dhs (including 2 pairs of trousers) I thought that even if it turned out to be horrible, it was still cheaper than any off-the-shelf suit I've ever bought. In fact it turned out great. My only recommendation would be to make sure you go to a tailor that's been recommended to you, rather than just picking one at random.

Dunno about Dubai. In Khobar I used Modern tailors. Better workmanship than stuff I had made in Thailand !

I've always used Kachins and no complaints so far. Even better now that they have a place off Al Sufouh road.

Re: Where to buy a suit in Dubai
Every decent 'gentleman's outfitters' has a sale on now, mostly with a genuine 75 pct off. I got one at Balmain (it needed a small alteration here and there for which I was charged AED 125); there is also a sale at Moda, and just about every shop along the ground floor at Festival City (as you walk along from Ferrari).
