I. How much does a tailored suit cost in Vietnam?
At Thomas Nguyen Tailor & Design, skillful and experienced tailors make every suit with heart and passion. They care about each detail with precision and meticulousness. The price of tailoring work for all basic suits is similar. However, if the suit is added with sophisticated handcrafting details, the cost would be higher because the process of hand stitching is complicated.
The primary core component that makes suits different in price is the fabric. The more complex the fabric-making process, the less supply there is. The more comfortable and elegant the fiber surface, the more demand there is. The law of supply and demand for each type of fabric determines its price. Therefore, fabric prices range from low to high, and the cost of suits from various fabrics diverges significantly.
The Vietnamese tailored suit costs from 200 USD to 5000 USD. This price level of Vietnamese bespoke suits is relatively cheaper than that of bespoke suits made in other countries, such as the US, UK, France, etc. A tailored suit made in the West will start at a bid of 2000 USD. The high-end bespoke suits could reach a ceiling price of 6500 USD and above. Meanwhile, with only 800 USD (20000000 VND) in Vietnam, you already have a luxurious bespoke suit with smooth fabrics imported from Italy.

II. Why are suits made of some fabrics more expensive than others?
Some fabrics are weaved from highly precious materials. For example, the world’s most expensive type of fabric, Scabal, is made of crushed diamond, premium silk, and super wool 150s. Diamond is the rarest gem that requires high pressure and certain temperature conditions, often only found deep on the ground. The cost of diamond production is extremely high. Now, it is just a component of Scabal fabric. You can imagine how high the price of this fabric is.
Some fabrics are made of super wool tagged Super from the lowest index of 80s to the highest level at 300s. “Super” means “super thin.” These super wool yarns are light and can create a luxurious silhouette. These fabrics also cost a lot.
Another fabric used by famous politicians is fabric from Cashmere wool, which comes from the first harvest of sheep’s wool. This is the freshest and softest fur of natural sheep’s wool. Cashmere wool gives the fabric an extremely smooth surface with uniformity in structure. With its even nature, this type of fabric could be hand-dyed to create extremely vivid color. Fabrics from Cashmere wool are five times more durable than that from other wool.
Fabrics that are mixed between wool and artificial fibers such as polyester, rayon, and spandex are cheaper because these fibers can be produced industrially. The higher the wool ratio, the more beautiful and expensive the synthetic fabric is.

III. The three price segments of the Vietnamese tailored suits
1. Low-end segment in tailored suit cost
At Thomas Nguyen Tailor & Design, a tailored suit costs from 200 USD (5 million VND) to 500 USD (10 million VND) for the low-end segment. At this price level, tailored suits are made of synthetic fabrics. This type of fabric has the disadvantage of poor moisture absorption and difficulty in evaporation. However, it has some outstanding advantages, such as high durability, good elasticity, and is hard to crush. The suits from synthetic fabrics dry very quickly, making them easy to use in the rainy season.
a. Cashmere fabric
Cashmere fabric is a synthetic fabric imported from India. The ratio of synthetic fibers in Cashmere fabric includes 67-80% polyester and 20-30% rayon, etc. A three-piece tailored suit costs around 7 million VND (300 USD) if you choose Cashmere fabric. At the same time, a Cashmere two-piece tailored suit costs around 5 million VND. Cashmere fabric is an excellent choice for gentlemen who want an elegant suit for everyday wear.

b. Lord & Taylor fabric
The Lord & Taylor fabric store was opened in 1826 by Samuel Lord and George Washington Taylor, two Englishmen. However, their store was originally in America. Lord & Taylor Xtra Comfort’s fabric collection includes three patterns: plain, classic, and jacketing. Labeled by Xtra Comfort, the fabric focuses on providing customers with a highly comfortable feeling through good elasticity. The blend ratio between 80% cotton and 20% polyester optimizes durability and wrinkle resistance. A two-piece tailored suit from Lord & Taylor fabric costs around (300 USD) 7 million VND, while a three-piece one is priced at 400 USD (10 million VND).

2. Standard segment in tailored suit cost
In the standard segment, a tailored suit costs from 500 USD (10 million VND) to 1000 USD (20 million VND) and is made of wool blend fabrics. The high wool proportion in the materials gives wool blend fabrics the particular attribute of wool: the ability to absorb sweat quickly. With the other components of industrial yarn, such as polyester, wool blend fabrics can also wrinkle less, giving the suit a sturdy, flat appearance.
a. Nobility fabric
The Nobility fabric collection includes fabrics made of 100% Merino wool. Merino wool is woven from the hair or wool of sheep that graze naturally in the highlands of Australia and New Zealand. The natural wax layer on Merino sheep is antibacterial and antifungal and can effectively reduce body odor. With its soft and smooth surface, Nobility is the typical choice for a perfect suit that can level up any gentleman’s style. A three-piece tailored suit from Nobility fabric costs around 600 USD (13 million VND), and a two-piece one costs 500 USD (10 million VND).

b. Carlos Barbera fabric
Carlos Barbera fabric is imported from Italy. Containing up to 70% sheep wool, Carlos inherits the properties of wool fibers. Therefore, outfits made of this are very comfortable to wear, especially suits. You can wear them all day without feeling restrictive. The remaining 30% polyester helps the fabric limit hairiness and wrinkles in natural fibers. It also costs 600 USD (13 million VND) for a three-piece suit made of Carlos Barbera fabric and 500 USD (10 million VND) for a two-piece suit.

3. High-end segment in tailored suit cost
These are the suits made of fabrics from the world’s most famous brands. The price of these suits ranges from 1000 USD (20 million VND) to more. Let’s look at fabrics from the two expensive brands familiar with the world of suit connoisseurs, Vercelli and VBC, and how they reach such a highly distinguished level.
a. Vercelli fabric
The main ingredient of Vercelli fabric is natural sheep wool, which accounts for 95%. Another 5% are Merino wool, Cashmere wool, and linen. This combination gives the Vercelli fabric the best durability in the fabric industry. With outstanding quality, Vercelli fabric is trusted and used by famous fashion designers for thousands of suits each year. At Thomas Nguyen, a two-piece tailored suit from Vercelli costs 700 USD (16 million VND), and a three-piece one costs 1000 USD (20 million VND).

b. VBC fabric
An ancient secret about the fabric-dying technique has been passed down from father to son for more than 350 years through 13 generations. That’s what makes the tradition of the world’s famous fabric brand Vitale Barberis Canonico (VBC). The process of flowing, spinning, blending, weaving, and dying is meticulous and closely supervised. The best wool fibers are magically turned into the premium VBC fabric, which is highly perfect for making suits. A VBC tailored suit costs 1000 USD (24 million VND) for a two-piece design and 1200 USD (31 million VND) for the three-piece model.
