In this tailoring listicle, I aim to highlight the commendable work of several Singaporean tailors who, in my view, stand out in the industry. And it’s not just my opinion—each tailor featured below holds a Google rating of at least 4.5 out of 5.
The 10 tailors listed below are arranged in ascending order of price. This is likely the most comprehensive guide to local tailors available online—while other listicles exist, none are written by someone who has personally commissioned garments from every tailor featured.
Tailors Under $500:
The “affordable tailor” segment is by far the most saturated space in the local tailoring industry. Unfortunately, most of these tailors often deliver sub-par products and are staffed by inexperienced part-timers. For more on what to look out for when buying a suit, read my tailoring guide here. I’ve been to most of these affordable tailors in Singapore and have shortlisted three based on my experience.
1) Mohan’s Custom Tailors
There’s no shortage of affordable tailors in Orchard – there are probably over a dozen in Far East Plaza alone. Having been at Far East Plaza since the shopping mall opened in 1982, Mohan’s stands out among the many tailors there for its rich history and experience.
Google Rating: 4.9/5
Basted Fitting: Depends. Mohan’s starts with a muslin fit, and depending on whether the muslin fit is satisfactory, there may or may not be a basted fit. A Muslin fit is similar to a basted fitting, with the difference being that while a basted fitting uses the cloth you chose, a muslin-fitting garment is often fashioned out of a cheaper material. Tailors sometimes use muslin fittings to reduce costs and waste.
Lead time: 3-5 weeks
My opinion: In Singapore’s tailoring landscape, Mohan’s Custom Tailors stands out as a well-recognised name, with Mr Max Mohan himself regarded as something of a local icon. In fact, Gov.sg even dedicated an entire episode to him and his craft—a rare honour and, to my knowledge, the only tailor featured in a government-produced documentary aired on national television. Like many of the more established tailors, Mohan’s retains full in-house production, overseen by master tailor Mr Koh (who also appears in the video above). This sets it apart from most affordable tailors, who typically outsource their production. With suit prices starting at just $375, Mohan’s offers strong value for money. The brand has built a solid reputation over the decades, and after experiencing its services firsthand, it’s clear why it has not only endured but continued to thrive. For those seeking a straightforward, no-frills introduction to custom tailoring, Mohan’s is a dependable choice.
Price: Suits at Mohan’s start from $375. For my readers, Mohan’s offers a 10% discount on all purchases. Quote “WAHSOSHIOK” when making your appointment, or flash this post while at the store to enjoy the discount.
Location: 14 Scotts Road, #02-73 Far East Plaza, Singapore 228213
Reviews: I reviewed my experience at Mohan’s Custom Tailors here, and the suit and shirt I got here. I also reviewed a single-breasted suit from Mohan’s here, and a burgundy single-breasted suit (pictured above) here.
2) Ehkay Corner Tailors
Based in Orchard Plaza, Ehkay Corner Tailors has been offering great, affordable suiting options since the 1980s.
Google Rating: 4.9/5
Basted Fitting: No, but they do a Muslin fit.
Lead time: 2-4 weeks
My opinion: Despite its accessible price point, Ehkay Corner Tailors offers an impressive combination of experience, quality, and service. Unlike many budget-friendly tailors, Ehkay Corner is helmed by Dinesh and his wife Hina, who have been running the business since the 1980s—bringing over four decades of industry expertise. All garments are crafted locally in the brand’s in-house workshop, ensuring both faster turnaround times and tighter quality control. Prices remain affordable, and Dinesh’s customer service is consistently commendable. Additionally, Ehkay Corner offers suit rentals at competitive rates—ideal for short-term needs such as weddings or proms. Rentals are available for up to 72 hours, offering better value than many other tailors in Singapore, which typically rent by the day. Overall, Ehkay Corner Tailors stands out as one of the top affordable tailoring options in the Orchard area.
Price: Suits at Ehkay Corner start from $480. For my readers, Ehkay Corner is offering a 10% discount on all purchases. Quote “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this post to enjoy the discount. Readers can also get 5% off rental services.
Location: #01-57 & #01-01 Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841
Review: I reviewed my experience at Ehkay Corner Tailors here, and the tuxedo I got here. I also reviewed a three-piece suit here, a maroon double-breasted suit here, a blue stretchable suit here, and most recently, a brown suit (pictured above) here.
3) Stitched Custom
Those seeking a wide range of customisation options can turn to Stitched Custom.
Google Rating: 4.9/5
Basted Fitting: No, though templates are used.
Lead time: 2-3 weeks
My opinion: Stitched Custom exudes a youthful, contemporary vibe, with bold, patterned fabric swatches lining its showroom walls. The team is capable of delivering a runway-worthy look at an incredibly accessible price—you don’t need to splurge on luxury fabrics to look like a million bucks. Importantly, there’s no extra charge for the unique design (aside from the standard $50 surcharge for a double-breasted style), so if you’re after distinctive designs on a budget, I highly recommend seeking out QQ and Ying Tong at Stitched Custom. As a one-stop destination for menswear, it also offers a curated selection of accessories to complement any look. The absence of a fitting process adds to its appeal, offering greater convenience and a shorter lead time of just 2–3 weeks. This makes it an ideal option for busy professionals or those in need of a suit on short notice.
Price: Suits at Stitched Custom start from $499. For my readers, Stitched Custom is offering a free shirt (worth $89) with every suit purchase and 5% off any three shirts or trousers.
Location: 193A Kitchener Rd, Singapore 208534
Review: I reviewed my experience with Stitched Custom here, and the fit and workmanship of the eventual suit here. I also reviewed a velvet tuxedo here, and the abovepictured oblique suit here.
Tailors Under $700:
At this price point, one can expect a noticeable step up not only in the workmanship of the finished garment, but also in the overall ambience, such as a more spacious showroom.
4) The Gentlemen’s Atelier
The Gentlemen’s Atelier has been serving clients with affordable wedding suits since 2018.
Google Rating: 5/5
Basted fitting: Yes.
Lead time: 4-5 weeks.
My opinion: With over five years in the industry, Nick has built a strong reputation in Singapore’s wedding tailoring scene, particularly for his style advisory on modern, distinctive designs. Despite featuring half-canvassed construction and an extensive range of customisation options, the brand’s pricing remains remarkably competitive. Notably, it is also one of the few affordable tailors in Singapore to offer basted fitting — a rare level of attention at this price point. Combined with its perfect Google rating (from almost 200 reviews) and convenient Chinatown location, The Gentlemen’s Atelier stands out as an excellent option for those seeking fashion-forward tailoring with strong overall value.
Price: Suits at The Gentlemen’s Atelier start from $599. For my readers, The Gentlemen’s Atelier is offering a 10% discount on all suiting purchases (excluding add-ons and additional charges). Simply make your appointment via this booking link here and choose the “WAHSOSHIOK” option to enjoy the discount.
Location: 41 Temple Street, #03-01, Singapore 058586
Review: I reviewed my experience at The Gentlemen’s Atelier here, and the fit and workmanship of the eventual grey suit (pictured above) here.
5) Gentlemen’s Pursuit
Though Gentlemen’s Pursuit is a relatively new brand, founder JJ brings years of industry experience, having previously co-founded another tailoring label.
Google Rating: 5/5
Basted fitting: No.
Lead time: 4-5 weeks.
My opinion: Gentlemen’s Pursuit’s biggest draw arguably lies in its exceptionally competitive pricing and compelling promotions. At just $588 (after the discount below), customers can commission a half-canvassed mixed wool suit, while a half-canvassed VBC Perennial suit starts from only $788 — likely among the most accessible price points locally for VBC fabrics. According to founder JJ, this aggressive pricing approach is part of the brand’s strategy to rapidly build market presence, making it especially appealing for value-conscious shoppers. While the tailoring process does not include a basted fitting, the finished garments still deliver a sharp, contemporary slim-cut silhouette that has resonated strongly with clients, as reflected in the brand’s flawless Google rating. Beyond wedding suiting, Gentlemen’s Pursuit has also built a notable portfolio dressing celebrities, making it a strong option for those looking to make a confident sartorial statement.
Price: A 2-piece mixed wool suit (half-canvassed) at Gentlemen’s Pursuit starts from $688, with 100% wool European fabrics (VBC, Drago, etc.) starting from $888. For more casual options, the polo tees start at $89, while the Gurkha trousers start at $169. For my readers, Gentlemen’s Pursuit is offering a $100 discount per suit order, and a 10% discount on all other orders (shirts, polos, trousers, etc), with no minimum spend. Quote “WAHSOSHIOK” when making your appointment to enjoy the discount.
Location: 1 Genting Link, #08-01A, Singapore 349518
Review: I reviewed my experience with Gentlemen’s Pursuit here, as well as the fit and finish of the resulting suit here. I also reviewed a tuxedo rental from them here, and a smart casual outfit from them here.
6) Perfect Attire
If you work in the CBD and require tailored clothing, visit Perfect Attire.
Google Rating: 4.9/5
Basted fitting: Yes.
Lead time: 4-6 weeks
My opinion: Run by the wife-and-husband team of Tulsi (pictured above) and Shriram, Perfect Attire offers exceptional craftsmanship at a compelling price point. Suits are canvassed, with hand-sewn buttonholes, shanked buttons, functional cuffs, and optional pick stitching—hallmarks of quality tailoring. All garments are produced in-house, with hand-canvassing ensuring a high level of consistency and quality control throughout the process. Fit is another standout aspect, with at least one basted fitting included to fine-tune the silhouette. Pricing remains reasonable, particularly given the level of construction and bespoke attention provided. Conveniently located in the heart of the CBD, Perfect Attire is ideal for professionals looking to drop by after work. For those seeking refined, well-made tailored clothing, Perfect Attire is a top contender.
Price: Suits from Perfect Attire start at $650. For our readers, Perfect Attire is offering a free House Essentials shirt (worth $175) with every suit purchase—simply quote ‘WAHSOSHIOK’ when booking your appointment or show this post at the showroom to redeem it.
Location: Oxley Tower Unit 03-38, 138 Robinson Road, Singapore 068906. Interested customers are recommended to book an appointment online before dropping by.
Review: I reviewed my experience with Perfect Attire here, and the fit and workmanship of the resulting suit here. I also reviewed a waistcoat-led ensemble here, a work-ready navy suit here, and a wool-silk-linen light blue suit (pictured above) here.
Under $1000:
When you’re paying close to $1000, the experience becomes more intimate and personal — with satisfaction derived not just from the finished garment, but also from the consultation and tailoring journey.
7) Edit Suits Co.
Basted fitting can be great, but the multiple fittings required can sometimes be a hassle. For those who don’t have time to drop by for multiple fittings but still want a quality suit that doesn’t break the bank, Edit Suits is your answer.
Google Rating: 4.8/5
Basted fitting: No, though they do have fitting garments for you to try on.
Lead time: 4-6 weeks.
My opinion: Unlike many tailors at this price point, Edit Suits does not offer a basted fitting process—though this streamlined approach may actually appeal to time-strapped clients. While other tailors often require four or more visits (for measurements, multiple fittings, and final collection), Edit Suits reduces the need for repeat appointments without compromising on quality. Its integrated production ensures consistency and strict quality control. At the same time, its contemporary cuts are designed for the modern professional—offering a refreshing alternative to the more traditional styles of older establishments. Credit goes to Glenn for his expert style guidance and for helping me choose fabrics that not only complement my skin tone but also offer the versatility to anchor my new capsule wardrobe. The finished pieces are impeccably tailored, combining effortless style with excellent craftsmanship. Moreover, Edit Suits’ pricing—particularly for their house fabrics—is quite reasonable, and the showroom’s convenient Duxton location is a plus.
Price: A 2-piece house fabric suit at Edit Suits starts from $749, with canvassed premium suits (VBC, Loro Piana, Dormeuil, etc.) starting from $1099. Shirts start from $129. Those interested in commissioning garments from Edit Suits can quote “WAHSOSHIOK” when making their appointment or flash this post in-store to enjoy 10% off their total purchase (minimum spend of $999).
Location: 35A Duxton Road, Level 2, Singapore 089499.
Review: I reviewed my experience at Edit Suits Co. here, and the fit and workmanship of its garments here. I also reviewed a Loro Piana suit with Edit Suits’ new outfitters here, a smart casual look here, and tailored a capsule wardrobe featuring a linen suit (pictured above) here.
8) Sors Studio
Sors Studio is particularly interesting because its owner, Gary, does not see himself as a tailor but rather as an image consultant. While most tailors alter the fit to the individual, Gary goes one step further by tailoring (pun intended) his style advice for each client.
Google Rating: 4.8/5
Basted fitting: Yes, usually 2.
Lead time: 4-5 weeks.
My opinion: If you’re unsure about fashion and need guidance, Sors Studio—helmed by Gary—is an excellent place to start. Beyond just tailored garments, clients benefit from Gary’s sharp eye for styling, making each visit feel like a complete sartorial refresh. Gary (pictured above) is known for sourcing unique fabrics in limited quantities, ensuring his designs remain distinctive and exclusive. From custom linings to boldly patterned vests, Sors Studio offers creations you won’t find at typical tailors. Its garments are produced locally, allowing for greater consistency and quality control. Gary also offers one of the most extensive customisation experiences I’ve encountered, constantly experimenting with new design details. Currently, all suits are half-canvassed, with mother-of-pearl buttons standard on shirts and horn buttons on suits. If standing out and looking sharp are your top priorities, Sors Studio is a top-tier choice.
Price: A 2-piece mixed wool suit (half-canvassed) at Sors Studio starts from $780, while a vest starts from $240. Shirts start at $170, and trousers start at $150.
Location: 34 Arab Street #02-01 Singapore 199733.
Review: I reviewed my experience with Sors Studio here, and the fit and style of the resulting garments here. I also reviewed its suit jacket here and did a smart casual outfit here. I reviewed my latest three-piece suit from Sors Studio here.
Tailors above $1000:
For $1000+, one begins to experience tailoring in its truest form: bespoke.
9) HST Tailors
Hwa Seng Textiles (HST) was established in 1960 and is the oldest tailor on this list. In terms of expertise and experience, the people at HST Tailors have been practising their craft for a very, very long time.
Google Rating: 4.5/5
Basted fitting: Yes, usually 2.
Lead time: 4-5 weeks.
My opinion: Having visited over 30 tailors across Singapore, HST Tailors made the most lasting first impression. Upon entering the shop, you are immediately surrounded by an impressive array of fabric rolls. Unlike many tailoring showrooms where fabric samples are confined to small swatch books, the staff at HST Tailors will bring down full rolls for you to see, feel, and even drape against your body. HST’s fabric selection is exceptional, reflecting its origins as a textile purveyor that continues to supply materials to local tailors, some of whom are featured here. The team, led by Mr. Goh and Ye shifu, collectively boasts over a century of experience. Unlike many affordable tailors, HST creates unique paper patterns for each client, offering true bespoke craftsmanship rather than adapting existing templates typical of made-to-measure services. The workmanship exemplifies the spirit of 工匠精神 (craftsmanship), and in terms of quality and attention to detail, I confidently rank HST Tailors among the top three I have encountered in Singapore.
Price: Readers can enjoy an exclusive 10% discount on all orders from HST. After the discount, a 2-piece fully canvassed mixed-wool suit from HST Tailors would start at just $1080. Simply quote “WAHSOSHIOK” when booking your appointment or flash this post at the showroom to enjoy the discount.
Location: #07-12 Gemini@Sims, No 2 Sims Close, Singapore 387298.
Review: I reviewed my experience with HST Tailors here, and the fit and workmanship of the resulting suit here. I also reviewed a pair of jeans from them here, and a black suit here. Recently, I returned to HST Tailors for a double-breasted look (pictured above) and wrote a lengthy article about my experience here.
10) Meiko Tailor
Run by Head Tailor Uncle Chung, who has over 50 years of tailoring experience, Meiko Tailor is perhaps the embodiment of the maxim ‘old is gold’.
Google Rating: 4.7/5
Basted fitting: Yes, usually 2.
Lead time: 2-4 weeks. Surcharge may apply for urgent orders (<2 weeks), or during peak periods.
My opinion: Among all the tailors featured in this list, Meiko Tailor stands out as perhaps the closest experience to Savile Row. Much like a traditional Savile Row tailor, Uncle Chung personally drafts, cuts, and fits each garment, creating every pattern from scratch without relying on templates. His extensive experience—having begun tailoring long before my parents’ generation—is evident throughout the entire process. Meiko Tailor also operates a local in-house production facility, which ensures rigorous quality control and remarkable consistency, with Uncle Chung personally inspecting every finished piece. This setup allows for one of the shortest lead times in bespoke tailoring, typically just 2 to 4 weeks. Adding a modern touch, Adele, Uncle Chung’s daughter, contributes youthful energy and contemporary styling advice, especially in their new Boat Quay showroom. Despite being a heritage tailor, Meiko Tailor boasts a sub-brand called Uncommon Hem, which Adele describes as “an edgier yet refined alternative to traditional bespoke tailoring” intended to appeal to a younger audience. Together, the father-daughter duo has recently garnered local acclaim for their work. For those seeking authentic bespoke tailoring or a meticulously crafted suit on a tight timeline, Meiko Tailor comes highly recommended.
Price: A 2-piece fully canvassed wool blend suit (poly-wool mix) starts from $1890.
Location: 7 Raffles Blvd, #02-01 The Pan Pacific, Singapore 039595, and 35A Boat Quay, Singapore 049825.
Review: I reviewed my experience at Meiko Tailor here, and the fit/craftsmanship of the eventual suit here. I also reviewed a linen suit and a sports jacket here, a more casual ensemble here, a smart casual outfit here, and a vintage Ermenegildo Zegna suit here. Most recently, I revisited Meiko Tailor and reviewed a smart casual ensemble from its new sub-brand Uncommon Hem here.
