Fast Tailor
Ladies and Gents,
I need to know any recommendations for a tailor in Dubai who can get a suit made fairly sharpish. It looks like I'm flying back to the UK next Wednesday night for a funeral on the Thursday and don't own a black suit that fits. Buying off the shelf is tough because I'm tall and fat. I'm going to ring my usual place but conscious they'll say they can but can't afford to be caught short. Thanks in advance. Scamp |
Re: Fast Tailor
just hang around a car park in a shopping mall, not only will you get the suit you'll get a lift to the airport as well

Re: Fast Tailor
Hope a flight to Bangkok, stroll down Sukhumvit, choose a tailor, get suit, fly back. Likely done in 48 hours maybe less, rub n tug optional!

Re: Fast Tailor
You don't really need a black suit for a funeral. Any dark, "sober" suit will be fine...

Re: Fast Tailor
Thanks all.
Turns out I think I won't be going. Flights are 6,600 for the days I need. Spoken to my pal and he understands. I'll certainly raise a glass though. Thanks again for suggestions. Will probably try a new place soon so suggestions helpful. |
Re: Fast Tailor
For future reference, there's a shop called Big n Tall that's on Bank Street in Bur Dubai. I walked past a few weeks ago, they had a T-Shirt in the window that was advertising the size 15XL :blink:

Re: Fast Tailor
Since you are no longer in a rush how about this groupon: Suit Package for Men & Women
Option 1: AED 799 instead of AED 2,170 * One 2-piece suit * One shirt * One tie * Two pocket square The only problem I can see for you is: "Maximum of 4 yards of selected fabric per person for the suit. Fabric consumption yardage to be determined by master tailor. Maximum of 2 yards per shirt, any extra yards will have an additional charge." |

Planning on getting one or two new ones made so might use them/the Groupon again. |
Re: Fast Tailor
You must cut a dash with those pocket squares. I hope you got 5, a different one for each working day ;)

Can't remember exactly but think I'm a 4.5 yard kind of man. You know, fat bastard size.

Re: Fast Tailor
I have used Viva Style in Satwa a few times and never really had any issues. Quality has been always been good.
Tried the tailors in Ibn Battuta (Custom Shop) as they had a really good offer on but the quality wasn't as good. |
