Top Local Tips for Hoi An

Tailored clothing and shoes Biggest tip for those getting items tailored.... get in as soon as you can. We purchased our items from the cloth market, which had the best prices. I had a wool suit made with an extra pair of pants, 3 cotton business shirts for $US85, and make sure you bargain. I had to go back 3 times, but the final result was superb! Even if it is something minor, get them to change it, and get what you asked for. The alley way next to the cloth market consists of the shoe makers, get in early, and confirm exactly what you ask for. We had problems with that, for example, a multi coloured sole on a pair of boat shoes, but they will replace, if not, get your deposit back and go elsewhere. A pair of boots for my wife were never finished, despite going back 3 times. We had our money returned. The name of the shoe makers we used was Hoang Huong. I would not reecommend them. In general, the going rate for leather tailored shoes was about $US20. I was very happy with my purchases.
