The 78 Tailor

Moon, Lavi, and the team at 78 Tailor turn around custom pieces faster than you’d expect – silk dresses, linen suits, trench coats, the lot – often within a day and a half. They’re the kind of tailors who actually suggest things rather than just nodding along, which saves you from making bad fabric decisions you’ll regret on the flight home.

The shop sits among the usual chaos of Hoi An tailors, but the staff speak solid English and will walk you through every choice: cut, fabric, fit adjustments. Multiple fittings are standard, and they keep tweaking until the fit is right.

Prices are reasonable for custom work, but the reviews are clear that negotiation is expected, so go in knowing that. They also apparently lend out their bike to customers in a pinch, which says something about how they treat people.
