Sam Cerruti Custom Tailors| Best Tailors in Bangkok

Book ahead. Appointments run tight, and Sam measures every client himself. The fabric selection covers Egyptian cotton, Sea Island cotton, Irish linen, and cashmere, but this is not a showroom with hundreds of swatches. If you want a suit built correctly and finished without drama, this is the room.
You step off the escalator at Gateway Ekamai's second floor and the studio sits opposite the main corridor, appointment-only and quieter than the mall traffic below. Sam Cerruti opened here in 1977, and the tailoring approach has stayed consistent: measure twice, cut once, fit properly. The studio handles bespoke suits, overcoats, jackets, dress shirts, and the occasional Nehru or denim jacket for clients who ask.
Fabric runs from Egyptian cotton and Sea Island cotton for shirts to Irish linen and cashmere for heavier pieces. Expect proper construction. Peak lapels, if that is what the garment needs. Double French cuffs on shirts. Custom linings in colors beyond the standard navy, including red if the client prefers contrast against the jacket interior. Trousers come with side-adjustable tabs, not belt loops, unless you specify otherwise. Every garment gets built to the measurements Sam takes during the first fitting, and alterations follow the same standard.
The studio operates Tuesday to Sunday, 11:30 AM to 8 PM. Closed Monday. Appointments are required, and slots fill quickly during the week, so call ahead on +66 94 351 9955 or book through the website. Sam handles the measuring and consultation himself. Most clients come for business attire: the suit rotation, the shirt wardrobe, the overcoat for travel. A smaller group orders specialty pieces or brings garments from elsewhere for tailoring adjustments.
Gateway Ekamai puts the studio on the BTS Ekkamai line, exit 4, second floor of the mall. Wi-Fi available. Wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park. The studio does not operate as a walk-in showroom. You book, you show up on time, and the fitting moves efficiently.
