Pattaya’s unique shopping scene : Classic Tailor

by Lesley Warner

I recently found myself in urgent need of a smart skirt and for anyone who knows me they will know that this would have to be for some special reason, as I hate skirts. My past experience of tailors in Pattaya has not been good (although I am sure there are many good tailors in the town that I haven’t tried) so I chose Classic Tailor as I had seen several items of clothes they had made for an associate. I also know that they have been in business since 1965 so are very experienced.

Marlowe - a master with over 36 years experience

When I walked into the shop I was immediately impressed by the choice of material on offer, straight off the shelf, or if that isn’t enough, there are several books of alternative materials to choose from. I was lucky with the colour and texture I wanted, as it was easy to find.

No one feels too comfortable about being measured, especially us ladies, but Marlowe performed this task quickly and efficiently so I didn’t have time to become embarrassed. It was like a finely tuned operation. Marlowe measured and told his assistant the details, and she did a quick sketch and jotted down the measurements. I was expecting him to say “scalpel!” at any moment!

Two days later, ‘voila’ my skirt was complete. I was amazed it was a perfect fit first time and needed no alterations. I asked Marlowe if he can supply tailor made clothes to people that don’t reside in Thailand, and he answered, “Yes, all we need are the measurements and a picture or description of what the customer requires.” Once they have your measurements at Classic Tailor you can order clothes at anytime, as all measurements are kept in a database of past clients. It’s easy, just order by email or fax and the garments will be made and posted to the customer anywhere in the world.

It’s a great opportunity to get a wonderful wardrobe of high-class quality clothes, in gorgeous materials and tailor made to make the best advantage of whatever shape and size you happen to be.
