A Guide to Singapore's Notable Suit Tailors

Singapore has a wide tailoring scene: long-running family houses, contemporary showrooms, cutter-led studios and more accessible custom workshops. The same word — “bespoke” — is used for processes that are not the same. This page is a reference guide to notable men's tailors, written to help a reader match a house to the kind of commission they actually want.

Perfect Attire publishes this guide and is one of the tailoring houses included. The houses are not ranked from best to worst; the aim is to compare publicly available information on approach, pricing, location and process.

How we selected the tailors

This is not a paid directory and not a scored shortlist. Houses were included when they had a visible Singapore presence, a men's custom or bespoke offering that can be checked in public, and a distinct enough position — heritage, process, price band or studio type — to be useful in a comparison.

We looked for an established showroom or studio, a public body of work or a clear process description, and enough published information to describe the house without inventing details. Several well-known names were researched and kept. Where a fact could not be verified on an official site, it is omitted or marked as unpublished.

The groupings below are editorial only. They describe how a reader might first encounter the house. They do not mean that every house in a group uses the same canvas, pattern method or fitting calendar.

A note on prices

Published starting prices are not always directly comparable. Houses may differ in cloth, construction, pattern-making, fitting process and what is included in the first figure. A lower “from” price is not a better offer if the garment and the process are different.

Prices checked 13 October 2026. Readers should confirm current prices directly with each tailoring house.

Heritage & long-standing houses

These houses publish a longer Singapore history. Longevity is not a quality score. It is one way readers often start a search.

CYC

• Tailoring approach: Published MTM and bespoke programmes
• Known for: Long Singapore history; Capitol atelier
• Published pricing: Multiple published tiers; MTM and bespoke priced separately
• Location: Capitol Singapore, 13 Stamford Road
• Website: cyctailor.com
• Consider if you value: A choice between published MTM and bespoke programmes

CYC — also presented as CYC Made to Measure — dates its Singapore history to 1935 and a Shanghainese tailoring line. The current atelier is at Capitol Singapore. The house publishes both made-to-measure and bespoke programmes.

On its own comparison, made-to-measure starts from an adjusted block, with fewer fittings and a shorter timeline. Bespoke is described as a pattern drafted for the client, with more fittings and a longer wait. Official pages list different starting figures for different collections and for MTM versus bespoke, so a single “from” price would flatten that. Confirm the tier — and what cloth and construction it includes — at the atelier. CYC also publishes shirt and trouser tailoring.

Meiko Tailor

• Tailoring approach: Bespoke (company description); published full-canvas suits
• Known for: Pan Pacific atelier; basted fitting stated on site
• Published pricing: Suits from S$1,890, GST inclusive
• Location: Pan Pacific Singapore; Boat Quay studio
• Website: meikotailor.com
• Consider if you value: A published canvassed starting price and a basted-fitting process

Meiko Tailor describes itself as a Singapore bespoke house with several decades of work. The main atelier is at Pan Pacific Singapore; a second studio at Boat Quay opened in 2025.

According to its published process, a full bespoke suit usually takes four to six weeks and includes at least one basted fitting, with a second when the silhouette needs more work. The company states that jackets and suits are full-canvas and publishes a starting price of S$1,890, GST inclusive. It also makes shirts and other custom garments.

Mohan's Custom Tailors

• Tailoring approach: Bespoke (company description); pattern from scratch
• Known for: Far East Plaza, Orchard
• Published pricing: Not published on the official site
• Location: Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road
• Website: mohanstailors.com
• Consider if you value: An established Orchard tailoring shop and pricing discussed in person

Mohan's Custom Tailors is at Far East Plaza on Scotts Road. The official site describes a bespoke sequence: more than twenty measurements, a personal pattern drawn and cut from scratch rather than an adjusted template, and one tailor assembling the garment through fittings. The company also publishes wedding and corporate offerings.

Current suit starting prices are not published on the official website.

Contemporary / modern tailoring houses

These houses work as contemporary showrooms, usually with a modern consultation format and, in most cases, a public price list. The grouping describes how a reader typically encounters the business, not the age of the house or a claim about cut.

Perfect Attire

• Tailoring approach: Bespoke; individual pattern and fittings
• Known for: Published prices; Singapore and Perth showrooms
• Published pricing: 2-piece suits from S$800 (House Essentials)
• Location: Oxley Tower, 138 Robinson Road
• Consider if you value: A written price list and a stated individual-pattern process

Perfect Attire was founded in Singapore in 2014 and now operates in Singapore and Perth. Its approach is positioned as “Uncomplicated Bespoke Tailoring”: an individual pattern is drafted from measurements and posture, followed by a test garment and fitting adjustments before the finished piece. That process is set out on the bespoke suits page.

Singapore pricing is published online, starting from S$800 for a two-piece House Essentials suit. The house also makes shirts, trousers and wedding tailoring. The Singapore showroom is at Oxley Tower on Robinson Road. For clients who value transparent pricing and want to understand the fitting process before booking, both the process and starting price structure are published in advance.

Common Suits

• Tailoring approach: Bespoke (company description); in-house workshop
• Known for: Telok Ayer studio with on-site production
• Published pricing: English/Italian suits from S$1,799; full canvas +S$300
• Location: 122 Telok Ayer Street, Level 1
• Website: commonsuits.com
• Consider if you value: Published prices and an in-house workshop

Common Suits opened in 2014 and works from 122 Telok Ayer Street. The company describes each suit as starting from a paper pattern drafted for the client, refined through basted fittings, and built with a lightweight canvas intended for a tropical climate. Production is described as in-house at the store. Appointments are required.

The official pricing page lists English and Italian fabric suits from S$1,799, with full canvas an additional S$300. A typical lead time is given as six to eight weeks, sometimes up to ten.

Ron & Rich

• Tailoring approach: Bespoke (company description); published full-canvas list
• Known for: Family house since 1979; Tras Street showroom
• Published pricing: Suits from S$2,170, GST inclusive
• Location: 80 Tras Street, Tanjong Pagar
• Website: ronandrich.com
• Consider if you value: A stated local-make process and an 8–12 week canvassed timeline

Ron & Rich dates its founding to 1979 and Richard Fan. The current site presents the house as led with his son, Aaron Fan. The showroom is at 80 Tras Street, near Tanjong Pagar. The company describes its suits as tailored, stitched and assembled in Singapore. Its published price list is for fully canvassed work, with suit lead times of eight to twelve weeks.

Suits start from S$2,170 including GST; tuxedos from S$2,270; sports jackets from S$1,790. An express surcharge applies for commissions under six weeks. Shirt and trouser prices are on the same page.

Q Menswear

• Tailoring approach: Bespoke (company description); published canvas surcharge
• Known for: Telok Ayer shophouse since 2011
• Published pricing: 2-piece suits from SGD 1,180; full canvas +SGD 280
• Location: 116A Telok Ayer Street
• Website: q-menswear.com
• Consider if you value: A Telok Ayer boutique, a written list and a 4–6 week stated timeline

Q Menswear opened at 116A Telok Ayer Street in 2011 and still works from that second-storey shophouse. The company describes its work as bespoke and also makes womenswear. Published prices start at SGD 1,180 for a two-piece suit, with a full-canvas surcharge of SGD 280. Shirt and trouser prices sit on the same list.

A typical suit timeline is given as four to six weeks; shirts and trousers around two. Appointments are recommended.

Cutter-led independent houses

These are smaller houses where the named cutter plays a central role in the client process. Addresses or prices may be shared after an appointment rather than on a public list.

Dylan & Son

• Tailoring approach: Cutter-led; appointment first
• Known for: Family line from the late 1970s; Dylan attends each client
• Published pricing: Not published on the official site
• Location: Telok Ayer Street (address after booking)
• Website: dylanandson.store
• Consider if you value: A cutter-led relationship and an appointment-based process

Dylan & Son presents itself as a small family house. On the official site, the family’s work begins with Oriental Tailor in the late 1970s; Dylan took over and rebranded in 2010. Clients are attended by Dylan rather than a rotating sales team. The company describes a balanced silhouette rather than one rigid house cut — more structure for formal jackets, a softer approach for casual ones.

The studio is on Telok Ayer Street. The full address is given after an appointment is confirmed. Current starting prices are not published on the official site.

Kay-Jen

• Tailoring approach: Published bespoke and made-to-measure programmes
• Known for: Headcutter-led studio; soft-tailoring brief
• Published pricing: Not published on the official site
• Location: 23 New Bridge Road
• Website: kay-jen.com
• Consider if you value: A cutter-led process and time for two fitting stages

Kay-Jen is led by founder and headcutter Matthew. The studio is at 23 New Bridge Road. The company publishes two programmes. Bespoke is described as a pattern measured, drafted and cut by Matthew, then finished by specialist coat and trouser makers. Made-to-measure is described as a faster route from pre-designed patterns with machine finishing.

According to the published calendar, a first fitting is about four to six weeks after consultation, with collection another four to six weeks later. The shop lists made-to-order trousers. Current suit starting prices are not published.

Accessible custom tailoring

These studios publish lower starting prices or a more retail-custom format. A lower “from” price is not the same product as a multi-fitting canvassed commission. Compare process, not only the first number.

Suit Commune

• Tailoring approach: Bespoke (company description); two showrooms
• Known for: Orchard and Tampines studios
• Published pricing: See official price list
• Location: 313@Somerset; T-Space, Tampines
• Website: suitcommune.com
• Consider if you value: Showroom access in both Orchard and Tampines

Suit Commune has two Singapore showrooms: 313@Somerset on Orchard Road and T-Space in Tampines, which the company describes as its first home. The site presents the work as bespoke tailoring with one-to-one consultations and a selected fabric range.

An official price list is available on its website, although it is published as an image rather than searchable text.

We Are Suitable

• Tailoring approach: Published custom / made-to-measure (site also says bespoke)
• Known for: Woodlands studio; published starting prices from S$299
• Published pricing: 2-piece custom suits from S$299
• Location: Woodlands BizHub
• Website: tailorsingapore.sg
• Consider if you value: A published start from S$299, a Woodlands studio and mobile appointments

We Are Suitable works from Woodlands BizHub, by appointment, including Sundays. The company publishes two-piece custom suits from S$299, with lower per-suit figures for group orders, shirts and trousers from S$99, and tuxedos from S$599. A mobile visit is advertised for a fee.

The services page describes its process as made-to-measure, while other parts of the site use the term “bespoke.” For comparison purposes, this guide therefore lists it as custom / made-to-measure based on the more detailed service description. As with any starting price, clients should confirm the cloth, construction and number of fittings included. With two-piece suits advertised from S$299, a Woodlands studio and mobile appointments, its positioning is toward the more accessible end of Singapore’s custom-tailoring market.

How to choose a good tailor in Singapore

Start with the process, not the adjective. Ask whether a pattern is drafted for you or adjusted from a block; how many fittings are included; whether a basted or test garment is part of the price; and where the garment is cut and made. Two houses can both say “bespoke” and mean different calendars.

Then look at cloth, construction and the written price — if there is one. A published starting figure is a door, not a quote. Visit more than one house if the commission matters. If Perfect Attire’s process suits what you’re looking for, you can visit the Singapore showroom or book an appointment.

Bespoke vs made-to-measure

In the stricter sense, bespoke starts with a pattern made for one person, often with a basted or muslin stage and several fittings. Made-to-measure starts from an existing block and adjusts it to measurements. Both can produce a well-fitting garment. They are not the same amount of work, time or cost.

In Singapore the labels are used loosely. Some houses publish both programmes. Some use “bespoke” for a custom or MTM service. Ask what happens to the pattern, how many fittings you will attend, and what happens if the first fit is wrong. Perfect Attire’s bespoke suits page explains how that process is handled in our Singapore showroom.

How much does a tailored or bespoke suit cost in Singapore?

Among the houses in this guide, official published starting prices for a two-piece suit run from a few hundred dollars to more than two thousand, before cloth upgrades and construction choices. That spread is not a quality ladder on its own. A S$299 custom suit and a S$2,170 canvassed commission are different products.

For price-conscious shoppers, Singapore also has more affordable custom and made-to-measure options, with some houses advertising two-piece suits from a few hundred dollars. The lowest starting price does not always represent the same tailoring process, construction or number of fittings, so it is worth comparing what is included rather than looking at price alone.

Factors that move the number include mill and cloth, canvas or fuse, whether a unique pattern is cut, how many fittings are included, and who does the work. Perfect Attire lists its Singapore figures on the pricing page. Use other houses’ official lists the same way: as a starting band, then confirm what the band includes.

How many fittings should you expect?

There is no single Singapore standard. Houses in this guide publish different calendars: one basted fitting and a four-to-six-week make; two stages several weeks apart; six to eight weeks with a basted check; eight to twelve weeks for canvassed work; or, on one heritage house’s own table, three to five fittings for a longer bespoke programme versus one or two for MTM.

Ask before you pay a deposit: how many fittings are included, whether a basted or test garment is standard, what a second basted fitting costs, and what happens at collection. A shorter published timeline reflects a different process, not a better one.

Choosing a tailor for a wedding suit

A wedding commission adds a date that will not move. Start with the house’s published lead time, then add room for a second fitting and for groomsmen if they are ordering too. Several houses mention wedding or tuxedo work; only some publish a dedicated wedding process or package.

Decide whether you want a suit you will wear again or a one-day formal look. That choice affects cloth weight, colour and whether a tuxedo surcharge applies. Perfect Attire’s wedding suits in Singapore page explains how that conversation is handled in our showroom. For a city-wide view, treat timing and fittings as the first filter, then visit.

Common Questions When Choosing a Suit Tailor in Singapore

What are the best suit tailors in Singapore?

Singapore has several well-established and highly regarded suit tailors, but the best choice depends on whether a client values heritage, true bespoke pattern cutting, contemporary styling, transparent pricing or a more accessible made-to-measure process.

Heritage houses such as CYC, Meiko and Mohan's sit alongside contemporary studios such as Perfect Attire, Common Suits, Ron & Rich and Q Menswear, cutter-led specialists such as Dylan & Son and Kay-Jen, and more accessible custom or made-to-measure options such as Suit Commune and We Are Suitable.

There is no single best tailor for every client. The right tailor in Singapore depends on budget, the method you want, the style of the suit and how involved you want to be.

Which bespoke tailor should I use in Singapore?

Choose a bespoke tailor based on the process you value rather than the name alone.

In Singapore, compare whether an individual pattern is created, how fittings are handled, whether a cutter or pattern-maker is involved, the cloth selection, the construction, the house style, how clearly prices are published, and how convenient the showroom is.

Perfect Attire may suit clients who want a contemporary bespoke process, clear published pricing and a straightforward fitting experience in Singapore. See Perfect Attire's bespoke suit process in Singapore if that combination is what you are looking for. Other houses in this guide may be a better match if you prefer a heritage house style, a cutter-led studio or a shorter made-to-measure programme.

Which suit tailor in Singapore offers the best combination of quality and value?

The best combination of quality and value in Singapore is not the tailor with the lowest advertised starting price.

Value depends on the cloth, whether a unique pattern is made, how the suit is constructed, how many fittings are included and how they are done, the finishing, later alterations and the quality of the service around the commission.

For clients who value transparent pricing alongside a full bespoke process, Perfect Attire is one of the options worth comparing. Check the current Singapore bespoke suit pricing to understand what is included at each starting point. A lower-priced custom or made-to-measure house can still be the better value if the included method matches what you actually need.

Where can I get a good suit in Singapore without spending too much?

Singapore has custom and made-to-measure options across a wide price range, so getting a good suit does not necessarily mean choosing the most expensive tailor.

Price-conscious buyers should compare what is actually included: fabric, pattern method, construction, fittings, alterations and service. A lower-priced made-to-measure or custom house may suit a simpler brief, while a more involved bespoke process can justify a higher starting price.

Perfect Attire is not positioned as a budget tailor, but its published pricing makes it easier to compare the cost of a bespoke commission before booking. See the current Singapore bespoke suit pricing for those starting figures.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an independent ranking of the best tailor in Singapore?

No. Perfect Attire publishes the guide and is included in it. The houses are not numbered or scored.

What is the difference between bespoke and made-to-measure?

Bespoke, in the stricter sense, drafts a pattern for one person and usually includes more fittings. Made-to-measure adjusts an existing block. Many Singapore houses use the words in overlapping ways — ask what they do, not only what they call it.

How much does a tailored suit cost in Singapore?

Official starting prices in this guide range from S$299 for a published custom two-piece to S$2,170 and above for a published canvassed start, with other houses in between or unpublished. Confirm cloth and construction. See Perfect Attire’s pricing for one published list.

Are there affordable or cheap suit tailors in Singapore?

Yes. Some custom and made-to-measure tailors in Singapore advertise two-piece suits from a few hundred dollars, while bespoke and fully canvassed commissions can start considerably higher. If budget is important, compare the cloth, construction, pattern method and fittings included in the price. A cheaper starting figure can still be a good fit for some clients, but it is not always a like-for-like comparison with a more involved bespoke process.

How do I choose a tailor?

Compare process, fittings, published prices and the kind of relationship you want — showroom, cutter-led studio or accessible custom. Visit more than one house. Notes from the blog can help with fabric and climate; they are not a substitute for a fitting.

How many fittings should I expect?

There is no universal number. Published processes in this guide range from one or two fittings for some MTM programmes to several stages for longer bespoke commissions. Ask how many fittings are included before placing an order.

How far ahead should I start a wedding suit?

Use the house’s published lead time and add slack. Several houses quote four to twelve weeks for a suit, before extras. For Perfect Attire’s wedding process, see wedding suits in Singapore.
