Really high-quality suits. I’m from the Netherlands myself and have four weddings coming up next year. I decided to just give it a try, and the quality is truly excellent. Highly recommended
I had a great experience with Unique. I bought two bespoke suits which they managed to turn around in 3 days. Strong selection of great quality fabrics and they can pretty much deliver any style you want. Very competitive pricing, friendly, able to give advice and great quality tailoring. I had two fittings a day apart and one final check on the day of delivery. Very happy indeed with the service
James and Jimmy have me looking dapper with very quick turnaround and best service on the island. The lads look after me best prices best quality I recommend highly anyone in Thailand to come to Unique Custom Tailor and get fitted.

Before you visit
Common questions.
Still unsure about something? Message us on WhatsApp — we answer quickly, and quotes are free.
Where is Unique Custom Tailor in Ko Samui?
We are at 79/7, Bo Put, Fisherman's Village, Bophut, Ko Samui — look for the red "Unique Tailor" sign on the shopfront. We are open every day from 10:00 to 23:00, so an evening visit after the beach works fine. If you are staying elsewhere on the island, you do not need to travel to us: we offer free hotel and villa pickup and in-home consultations anywhere on Ko Samui, including Chaweng, Lamai, Maenam and Choeng Mon, and we bring the fabric books with us.
How long does tailoring take in Ko Samui?
Shirts and most alterations can often be finished the same day, and bespoke suits usually take about three to five days. One client had two bespoke suits made in three days, with two fittings a day apart and a final check on the day of delivery. The honest advice is to visit on your first day rather than your last, so there is room for a proper fitting. Tell us your flight date at the first visit and we will tell you straight away what is realistic.
How much does a tailored suit or shirt cost?
We give a free, no-obligation quote for each order rather than publishing a fixed price list, because bespoke is not off-the-rack. The same cut in a house wool and in a fine imported cashmere are genuinely different garments. Four things drive every quote: the fabric, the garment (shirt versus two-piece versus three-piece or dinner suit), the construction and detailing, and how many pieces you order together. Message us on WhatsApp and we will price it in a couple of minutes. See what tailoring costs here.
What fabrics work best for the Ko Samui heat?
Weight matters far more than colour in this climate. Tropical-weight wool, typically the high-twist open weaves around 210 to 250g, lets air move through a jacket and resists creasing in humidity. Pure linen is cooler still and ideal for beach weddings and daytime events, though it wrinkles by design. Lightweight cotton is the everyday shirt choice, and wool-linen blends sit between the two. We keep the actual bolts in the shop so you can feel each one in daylight before choosing.
Do you tailor for women too?
Yes. Unique Custom Tailor makes tailored suits, jackets, trousers, skirts and dresses to measure for women, and we also do dressmaking, restyling and alterations to pieces you already own. It is a full part of the shop rather than an afterthought, and our gallery includes women's suits and dresses made here. Bring a photo of what you have in mind or a garment that already fits you well, and we will work from it. See women's tailoring.
Can I order again after I fly home?
Yes. Once we have measured you and made something that fits, your measurements stay on file, so a repeat order does not need you back on the island. One client ordered two shirts while here, then ordered five more after returning home, choosing the fabrics over a video call and wearing the first about ten days later. We can do the same with suits and jackets and ship them to you. Message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange the call.
Do you speak English, and can you help German-speaking visitors?
Yes to both. The shop works in English day to day, and there is a German-language page for visitors who would rather read the detail in German before coming in. Ko Samui draws a wide mix of nationalities and most of a fitting is done by hand and eye anyway, with the cloth in front of you. If you would rather message ahead in your own language, do that and we will manage.
Can you come to my hotel or villa instead?
Yes, anywhere on Ko Samui, at no extra charge. We bring the fabric books to you, take the measurements at your hotel or villa, and come back for the fittings the same way. This suits families, wedding parties and anyone whose days are already full. If you would rather see the whole fabric range at once, the shop in Fisherman's Village holds more than we can carry, so many people do the first visit here.
