See what a suit costsThree ways a jacket can be built
What you are actually paying for
The inside of a jacket is what decides whether it still fits in five years, and you cannot see it from the outside. Here is how we build ours, in plain words.
01
Fused
The inner structure is glued to the cloth. It is light, quick and the least expensive way to build a jacket, and it holds its shape well for a few years.
Good for a first suit, a holiday jacket, or a garment you will wear a handful of times a year.
02
Half canvas
A layer of horsehair canvas is stitched, not glued, through the chest and lapel. The lapel rolls instead of folding, and the chest moulds to you as you wear it. The lower half stays fused.
Good for the suit you wear to work, to weddings, and to anything that matters.
03
Full canvas
Canvas runs the whole length of the front, stitched by hand. Nothing is glued. The jacket takes the shape of the person wearing it and keeps it. It is the most work and the most cloth, and it lasts longest.
Good if you want one jacket rather than three, and you want it for a decade.
I want you to be the best dressed person in the room.

How it works
From your first visit to your finished suit
Most of the work happens in our workshop. You come in to choose the cloth, get measured and try it on.
- 01
A conversation
Tell us what it is for, when you fly home and roughly what you want to spend.
- 02
Choosing the cloth
Feel it in daylight. We tell you what it is made of and how heavy it is.
- 03
Measurements
About twenty of them, and we look at how you stand. That matters as much as the numbers.
- 04
First fitting
You try the suit while it is still tacked together. Most adjustments are made here.
- 05
Final fitting
One or two more, depending on the garment. We keep adjusting until it sits right.
- 06
Collect or ship
Pick it up in Patong, or we send it home to you. We keep your pattern for next time.
Leaving Phuket is not the end of it
We keep your measurements, so you can order again from us at any time.
The person who takes your measurements
Johnny
What keeps customers coming back is Johnny himself, more than the shop’s name.
Every garment that leaves this shop was measured, fitted and checked by the same hands. He opened here in 1999, lost the shop to the tsunami in 2004, and rebuilt it on the same street.
If something still is not right at a fitting, he is the one who points it out before you do.
Fabric you can name
You will know what it is before you buy it
Mill, weight, weave and composition, we can tell you all of it. A shop that cannot answer those questions usually does not know its own stock.

Great experience of getting my 3 piece suit done here. Wonderful service, done patiently with great advices given. All at a very reasonable price 👍🏻👍🏻 will definitely coming back for more !!
The designer was very professional. The service was professional and efficient. The 2 suits were done within a week. The grey and blue suits I had made are of exceptional quality and the value is unbeatable. They have so many materials and colours and patterns to choose from. I couldn't be happier with the service and result. There's a reason why it's so highly rated. You won't be disappointed.
I recently had a suit made at New David Jone in Patong and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, David was professional, friendly, and genuinely focused on helping me get exactly what I wanted. The fabric selection was excellent, and they took the time to explain the different options, cuts, and details without any pressure. The measurements were thorough, and the fitting process was smooth and efficient. The finished suit fits perfectly, with great attention to detail and quality craftsmanship throughout. David went above and beyond to ensure everything was right, making adjustments where needed. If you’re looking for a custom suit, I highly recommend visiting David Jone. Great quality, excellent value, and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again in the future.
Made a set of 3 piece suit and a vest to complement my existing outfit for an upcoming wedding. Johnny has decades of experience tailoring and you will definitely be in good hands! Wanted to make a suit of a particular style and Johnny was there to give suggestions on the colour choice and style. Turnaround time was around 3-4 days, inclusive of one fitting and alteration. Very satisfied with my suit and will definitely come back again on my next trip in Phuket!
David provides a 5-star service and care. He takes the time to explain all options and provides so many customised options. Never tries to push or convenience you to buy something you don’t want. This is the only shop in town if you want quality and the right fit.
My partner Richerd purchased a suit and two shirts from David. I have to say David's expertise and styling advice was fabulous. He was patient and knowledgeable, and the tailors are exceptional at their craft. We have used other tailors on previous trips, however New David Jone is far and away the best we have used in Phuket.
