What Clients Say
I went to Surprise after i met John on my way to Hoi An. It was a super pleasent experience, and the service is excellent. Dont hesitate coming here!
Great great place, quick, really nice people who own this place. I have got two lovely shirts and i absolutely love them
I found this place from the web ahead before landing in Hoi An, I got in touch with the shop and they immediately helped me finding the best solution according to my idea of suit, fabric and fitting. Once on the spot it took less than 48h to get the 3 pcs suit and 3 shirts ready for pick up!John is a real gentleman as well as among the best craftsman in town, strongly recommend 10/10
I recently had a fantastic experience at Surprise Tailor. The attention to detail in their work is impeccable. The staff is not only skilled but also incredibly friendly, making the whole process enjoyable. My outfit was perfectly tailored, and the turnaround time was impressive. I highly recommend Surprise Tailor Hoi An for their craftsmanship and excellent customer service.
The staff here are amazing and provide such a friendly and expert service. Vy & Thuy are lovely and work so hard to help create exactly what you want. Nothing is too much trouble. John is super friendly and goes beyond to make everything happen in such short turnaround times. Cheers!
Very affordable, great quality and great service. Got a wonderful dark green, velvet suit made. I've wanted it for years and I'm so glad to finally have one that fits perfectly! Thank you Surprise Tailor 😊
I started talking to John on my bus ride to Da Nang and he told me that he owns a tailor shop. Since I was planning on getting a tailor-made suit anyway, I stopped by his shop the next day.The consultation and communication went smoothly and I am extremely satisfied with the end results.It is also possible to then send the clothes home; someone else will then come by and everything required will be filled out together. I hope everything gets home safely.Conclusion: I am extremely satisfied and positively surprised by John and his team. Thank you.
I had a fantastic experience here, I called in the morning and I had 4 clothing pieces ready by 5pm the same day.They also said, because they have my measurements, if I want to order from home they will make and post to me.Would definitely recommend. John and the ladies are lovely ☺️
Very helpful owner and ladies who helped us with the selection. They were very patient as we spent quite a few hours there. :DIn the end me and my partner had many many many clothes made.My partner had suits, business and linen shirts, chinos pants, shorts made. I then had shirts and scarves made. We also expressed interest in having winter coats made. The owner was very helpful and the next day brought us samples of woolen fabrics. The clothes were ready the next day and ready to be tried on and modified. We dealt with the coats at the last minute and they were made for us the same day - very quick :). However, there was no time left for any desired alterations (my partner's coats were bigger). I have to say that overall we are very happy with both the materials and the workmanship. (I am a bit of a perfectionist and found differences from my requirements with the tailored shirts, I wanted them longer in the back than in the front).Since we had a lot of bags, we were offered shipping. We have not used the shipping now. We will definitely consider shopping remotely in the future as the prices are more than reasonable :).
During our stay in Hoi An we were welcomed into the Surprise TAILOR boutique to make tailor-made suits.We are very satisfied with the end result; we were able to personalize the cut of the suits as well as the inside of the jackets.We recommend !
We met John randomly on the bus to Hoi An, by coincidence we'd already marked his tailor shop to check out when we were there. I was skeptical going into the process, but reassured throughout. Really happy with the output - a linen summer suit in a colour usually outside my comfort zone / palette 😂 delivered to the UK. Definitely recommend visiting here if you're considering a tailored suit.
absolutely loved this tailor! the team was really professional and they helped me finding the perfect suits. The suits are in high quality for a reasonable price. Would directly go again.
Delighted with my custom-made linen pants in this store! The seamstress spoke very good English and was very friendly! I highly recommend 🙂

I went to Surprise Tailors with an image of a dress I wanted and they created the most amazing dress! They took my measurements in the afternoon and the next morning they had made the dress and it was the perfect fit! Surprise Tailors were a lot better value than other tailor shops I looked at and the quality is amazing. John and his team are lovely and I would definitely recommend!
We wanted to use the opportunity to get an affordable handmade suit in Hoi An when we got there. We met John in the Bus to Hoi An. Our Taxi Driver also recommended a tailor to us. We compared the two and thought that Surprise Tailor seemed more legitimate so we went there. We got some good recommendations. I finally chose a navy blue suit instead of a grey one and a white shirt. John was very straightforward and you could tell that he has experience. After that he took the measurements. Around 24 hours later we came back to get the suits and were very satisfied with the result. A tie was also included which cannot be seen on the foto. Both of us had to do little adjustments which were finished two hours later. We payed each 185 dollars for a three pieced suit, a tie and a shirt.
John and his employees were available to answer any questions we had and patiently worked with us to find the ideal offer. The three piece suit and shirt we both received were ready within 24 hours. The results were marvelous. Customization requests were implemented within a few hours after the try on. The contact was very friendly and communicating in English was no problem. Overall, highly recommended.
The service in this place is amazing. Staff are awesome. This is one the the best fittings ever. I highly recommend this place. The turn around time was absolutely amazing.
Here I had nice trousers made. Really cool they can practice exactly what you want. Sweet and friendly staff too.
We were overwhelmed by the amounts of tailors in Hoi An, tried to do our homework beforehand but John approached us on arrival in Hoi an, so we just went with it.The positive:Initially, I only ordered a suit & jumpsuit but after the first fitting felt safe enough to add two silk tops and a silk dress. Overall, I was extremely impressed by the jumpsuit, dress and tops. I absolutely love them! Even my bf, who did not plan on tailor anything, ended up with 3 shirts, a suit and 3 piece suit to which John added a tie for free.John and the team were always very welcoming and tailored everything within 24 hours. More than that, he even helped us ship everything to Germany.Not so good:Sadly, the suit felt a bit underwhelming. I had already researched a lot beforehand, as I wanted something different from the basic women’s blazer you see on all the photos (instead: double-breasted, heavier material and buttons, longer cut). I even brought pictures with me. As you can see in the picture, this was not the result. The woman consulted me regarding the fabric and cut, but the result felt like a weird mixture of her consultation/their typical blazer cut and half of my expectations.Overall I can recommend this tailor, as our experience was very good all in all and we loved 90% of the results. Just be careful with compromising.
My friends and I had an amazing time! Overall we got four dresses and two suits and they were ready so much faster than we expected and so high quality! We’re very happy with our new clothes and the price was very good. John was very helpful and kind as well, highly recommend!
Had a great experience with John. We’d been brought into other tailors off the street where they rush you through to buy something. John, however, takes the time to talk to you about what you want designed and is eager to give you exactly what you want even if it’s a slightly unusual design. He speaks really good English which also helps the tailoring process. Superb quality at a great price.
So happy to have met John! We were recommended through a friend. He was a super cool dude who was completely open to make something a little more unconventional. His english is great so you can really explain what you want. There was a good selection of patterns and colours. He was happy to make adjustments to the high-waisted pants and was super quick making it in two days. Would definitely recommend to get any kind of suit tailoring!
I couldn’t recommend this tailor more! The relationship I built with this family business over only a few days is incredible.John and Vi are so talented and have a great eye for what goes well together. I got three linen pants and a suit (shirt, pants and jacket) and eventually also ordered three silk scarves for my mother.The quality of my suit and especially the fit was exactly how I wanted it and after the first try on, everything was perfect.The prices are extremely fair and I was able to get much more than I had expected for my budget.I will most definitely return. Thank you so much, Surprise Tailor!
John was really good with helping me design the wedding suit I wanted. Everything fit very well first time. We also got some silk boxer shorts made for groomsmen with embroidery, made for a great gift. Fair price, great English and all the staff were really friendly
My girlfriend and I found this shop and ended up getting a slip dress, a tree piece tuxedo, 2 piece suit and casual shirt. All of which were made within 24 hours of being fitted to being perfectly tailored. We were a little hesitant for which tailor to go for at first but are so glad we chose this one as John, the main man was super friendly and so quick and efficient with knowing his stuff and being overall very helpful. Everything fits perfect and is exactly how we asked. Would highly recommend.- also great Banh mi next door for a quick snack!

What Clients Say
Felix T2024-01-29Great experience I went there to get 2 linen shirts and a linen trouser and the experience was perfect. I met John(the owner) on the bus that brought me to Hoi An and he proposed a visit to his shop. I was not disappointed, the reception was professional and friendly at the same time. The final product is exactly what I wanted ( I have large shoulders so finding a good fit can be hard sometimes). I would recommend it to anyone.
Ditte2024-01-29Rigtig god oplevelse Vi mødte ejeren af butikken i vores bus fra Hanoi til da nang han fortalte om hans skrædderbutik han havde i Hoi an, som vi et par dage efter besøgte! Det var en virkelig god oplevelse og personalet var så søde og hjælpsomme og kom med mange gode ideer! Kæmpe anbefaling herfra hvis man vil have skræddersyet tøj der sidder perfekt :)
Rosie P2024-01-27The perfect dress John and the team was amazing. The quality was incredible. They are perfectionist and would highly recommend going here if you are in Hội an. The photo still needs some adjustments but cannot wait to pick up the final product tomorrow!
Andrew G2024-01-24Fantastic experience John is the man. It’s my first suit so I really had no clue what I was doing. John is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He will hook you up with a fantastic suit or whatever you else you need tailored. I’ll never buy a suit in Canada, if I need more clothes tailored I’ll be ordering from John. We tried a few tailors and this is the best one in Hoi A for sure.
Kevin L2024-01-24Fantastic We found them online and John was awesome! The suit was made perfectly after our measurements were taken. They store your measurements so you can order from them in the future which I will definitely do. Highly recommend!
Stian Dager Moe2024-01-22The best tailor in Hoi An Very good experience. We got a lot of really good help, and our suits turned out perfect. They even shipped our suites home.
FKuoni2024-01-18Nice Suits the suits are amaizing. I would really recommend Surprise Tailor. He is very profesional and the fabric is top! Thank you very much!
Helle R2024-01-10100% recommend ! Fantastisk service, entusiatiske medarbejdere der syr tøj præcis som man vil have det. Kan kun give min varmeste anbefaling til surprise tailor i Hoi an
TomGilly902024-01-09Can’t recommend this tailor enough!!! We met John through a chance encounter in Hoi An, we were planning on getting some tailored items made and had done a little research already - John and his family’s company already came highly recommended so we stopped by to tell them what we wanted. We talked them through the fabrics and silhouettes we had planned and they gave some really good advice/info and thoroughly took out measurements etc. The next day our clothes were ready for us to try on, we asked for a couple of small alterations and they were incredibly speedy and we got our finalised items ready that day as we had to fly the following morning. All my shirts and suits, and my partners dresses were all incredibly made and the fabrics are all very good quality. Definitely can’t recommend Johns business and expertise enough! We’ve saved all of our measurements and will definitely be messaging him again for more clothing! Thanks John!
Mattie2024-01-09Amazing clothes! Choose John to make your clothes! John and his team were amazing and very accommodating! I arrived with a few design ideas for dresses I wanted making and a pair of trousers. I came away with a beautiful fitting pair of linen trousers, 1 linen dress and two satin dresses- all that fit perfectly and are super flattering! Planning to keep John’s WhatsApp so I can order more things in the future with the measurements taken at the shop! Would highly recommend. We were only in town for two nights and all pieces were delivered well in time for our departure.
