Raja's Tailors
11 , Shop No, 147 Sukhumvit Rd, Khwaeng Khlong Toei Nuea, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110
Lead with suits or jackets if you are after formal wear that moves correctly. The 100% hand-sewn construction and multiple-fitting sequence are built for precision, not speed, and the in-house tailors store your measurements for future orders. If you need a Bangkok tailor who has been doing this since Sardar Narinjan S. Sachdev and his son Raja opened the shop in 1957, this is the Soi 11 address.
You walk into a ground-floor shop on Sukhumvit Soi 11 where every garment is hand-sewn by in-house tailors who have been trained in the methods Raja's Tailors has used since 1957, when Sardar Narinjan S. Sachdev and his son Raja founded the operation. It remains family-run with no outsourcing of stitching or construction, and the service menu covers suits, shirts, jackets, pants, overcoats, tuxedos, and waistcoats for men, plus womenswear including blouses and dresses. The shop also handles wedding attire and LGBTQ-inclusive tailoring for ceremonies that need garments outside standard cuts. The fitting timeline depends on what you order: jackets require two or three fittings spread across a minimum of four working days, while shirts and trousers typically need one test fitting and complete within two to three days.
Your first visit takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, averaging around 45 minutes, for full measurement and fabric selection in a private fitting room. Follow-up fittings run about 20 minutes each, where the tailors pin adjustments to the half-constructed garment on your body. Once your measurements are stored, repeat orders skip most of the initial consultation.
The construction is 100% hand sewn. No machine stitching across the price tiers the shop stocks, and you are paying for manual work by tailors whose techniques date to the 1950s. A 100% non-refundable deposit starts production.
The shop runs trunk shows internationally and accepts online orders for remote clients, shipping within three to four weeks. Video measurement guides help customers who cannot visit Bangkok, or you can ship a reference garment to the shop for sizing. Emergency rush service exists for urgent cases, though the standard timeline produces the most reliable fit. Contact: gee@rajastailors.com or +66 87 132 0717.
The shop is closed Sundays, so plan visits Monday through Saturday between 10 AM and 8:30 PM.
