jersey, knit, chiffon, net, wool, cashmere, cotton, linen, silk, silk chiffon, silk crepe, cotton silk, polyester, poly blends, etc.\u00a0 It sounds tedious, but if you want to achieve a certain look, a lot depends on what fabric you choose!\u00a0 Make sure you get a chance to feel the fabrics and drape them, stretch them, crumple them, just to gain an understanding of how it will behave once it is sewn.\u00a0 Remember that the raw materials are never prewashed, not even denim.\u00a0 If you purchase cotton based fabrics, make sure the garments are sewn a little bit longer than what you want it to look like.<\/p>\n<p>Fabric shopping is important for suit making.\u00a0 If you are going to wear the suit in a tropical climate, you need different weighted fabric than if you wear the suit in a cold climate.\u00a0 Or, did you know that cashmere blends don\u2019t hold creases as well as other types of wool?\u00a0 Or that silk wool blends are all the rage this season for wedding suits and tuxes because you can get a softer and more natural sheen than polyester fabric?\u00a0 Do your research! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4420\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4420\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4420 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/suit-6-1024x516.jpg\" alt=\"Hoi an tailor cutting fabric\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/suit-6-1024x516.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/suit-6-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/suit-6-768x387.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After carefully choosing the materials, find the appropriate tailor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After you have all that settled and you have purchased the fabrics and materials, find a tailor that is right for you.\u00a0 You can go into high end tailor shops where the track record is more established to increase your chances of getting what you want.\u00a0 But remember that no matter how much experience the tailor may have, there is still a chance that it may not work out.\u00a0 Some pricier tailors in the city also carry their own selection of materials and will not allow outside material.\u00a0 For example, some specialty suit tailors have couture fabric from Zegna, Cerruti and more.\u00a0 They will only use those fabrics in order to uphold their reputation.\u00a0 Beware of frauds, however &#8211; a lot of \u2018Italian made\u2019 fabrics are actually made in Thailand and just given an Italian name.\u00a0 It\u2019s also very easy to replicate the embroidered labels on the fabric.\u00a0 That being said, if the name brand is not important to you, we have seen fabric made in Thailand that competes with the best Italian imported fabric, so make quality a priority!<\/p>\n<p>You will also have to choose the right kind of tailor for the type of item you are trying to make.\u00a0 For instance, for expensive materials like silk, you should go to a tailor that specializes in it because it\u2019s a very difficult material to work with.\u00a0 Once you have all of this done, the most important thing is to leave yourself some time.\u00a0 Although there is a bucket load of tailors who will turn around items in 1 or 2 days, it is much riskier and the craftsmanship may not be as good.\u00a0 The town of Hoi An in Vietnam employs thousands of tailors and the custom tailoring aspect is a large part of the economy there.\u00a0 Their turn around time for shoes, clothes, suits and jewelry is a day or sometimes even part of the day.\u00a0 But remember, many times if you go to a tailor that promises something back in a day, it looks like it was made in a day!\u00a0 If you want simple shirts and dresses, they are usually not a problem to whip out quickly but don\u2019t expect to get anything complicated made.\u00a0 And if you feel like getting suits made in a day, we suggest having lower expectations!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_ps2id\" href=\"#content\" data-ps2id-offset=\"\">BACK TO CONTENT<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shoes_and_Jewelry\"><\/span>Shoes and Jewelry<span id=\"sandj\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are certain things to watch out for when getting custom shoes made.\u00a0 The major problem with custom shoe making is that the shoemakers don\u2019t make their soles but buy them instead.\u00a0 If your foot does not fit diagonally on an A4 (8.5\u201dx11\u201d) sized paper, chances are you are out of luck!\u00a0 This is also why shoes with padding and proper foot support are really hard to make because the soles are pre-purchased.\u00a0 For example, you can get shoes made that look like Cole Haan dress shoes on the outside, but don\u2019t expect them to have fancy cushioning technology on the inside!\u00a0 Bespoke shoe making is another thing to leave some time for because many times you will have to get the shoe makers to re-do the shoe because it will just look shabby or have wonky stitching.\u00a0 These are things that foreigners tend to value and is an unfortunate annoyance when creating custom items &#8211; you are your own quality control department!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4422\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4422\" style=\"width: 1355px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4422 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shoes-and-jewelry.jpg\" alt=\"Shoes and Jewelry can also be made to order\" width=\"1355\" height=\"756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shoes-and-jewelry.jpg 1355w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shoes-and-jewelry-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shoes-and-jewelry-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shoes-and-jewelry-1024x571.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1355px) 100vw, 1355px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shoes and Jewelry can also be made to order<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for jewelry making, many of the jewelry stores in the city will make almost anything for you.\u00a0 For jewelry made from precious metals or precious\/semi-precious stones, we suggest going to proper jewelers who specialize in bespoke jewelry.\u00a0 For simple costume jewelry, almost anyone can do it, and well at that!\u00a0 All of the raw material for fake jewelry, at least in Ho Chi Minh City, comes from the same place.\u00a0 As long as they have a good picture to work with, they can make you your desired piece with no hitches!\u00a0 If you want to have more control over the process, you can just as easily go and pick out the items yourself and just give it to the shop owner to assemble.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_973\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-973\" style=\"width: 674px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-973 size-full\" title=\"The basic strategy to get anything custom made in Vietnam.
