Some people are in meetings from morning to night, and spend weekends with their families. For them, getting to a showroom during office hours sounds even harder than choosing cloth. That is why the made-to-measure suit at home exists: instead of you going to find the artisan, the artisan comes to find you, bringing the whole showroom experience along.

Quick answer

The made-to-measure suit at home is a service in which Mon Amie's mobile tailoring team comes to your home, office or hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, bringing a set of fabric samples and measuring tape so you can choose cloth and be measured on the spot. You only need to book an appointment in advance.

What the service includes

  • An artisan who comes to you: your home, office or hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.
  • A curated set of fabric samples: you see and touch real cloth, rather than choosing on a screen.
  • Measuring on the spot: with the measuring tape the artisan brings.
  • Advice on style: the occasion, your build and the style you want.
  • An appointment booked in advance, on time as promised: so the visit does not take too much of your time.

The following steps, such as the baste fitting and collection, will be arranged by the showroom, which will give you a specific schedule at the time of measuring.

Who should choose measuring at home

  • Business owners and senior managers with crowded schedules who need one tidy session at the office.
  • Colleagues or a leadership team who want to be measured together in a single session, instead of each person arranging it separately.
  • A family with a groom and several relatives who all need suits for the wedding day.
  • People staying in a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City on business, who want a suit without having to travel around.
  • People who are shy of the shop atmosphere and prefer to talk comfortably in their own space.

How to prepare for the session

  1. Choose a spot with a mirror and good light, wide enough for the artisan to move around you.
  2. Wear a shirt that fits, ideally the shirt you will wear with the suit.
  3. Have the shoes ready that you plan to wear, so the trouser length can be fixed exactly.
  4. Show photos of suits you like, if you have them.
  5. State the occasion and the date you need it, so the showroom can arrange a suitable schedule.

Tips from Mon Amie's master tailors

  • Be measured when you are most comfortable, not after a big meal or after a whole day on the road. A body that is tense or slack both affect the measurements.
  • Stand naturally as you would at work, without puffing out your chest or pulling in your stomach. The suit will then follow your real posture.
  • If you are measuring for a group, tell us the number of people beforehand so that Mon Amie can arrange enough artisans.
  • If you want to see more options, you can look at the fabric library on the website first.
