Why we recommend it
Having clothes made to measure is one of the classic things to do in Hoi An, and Yaly Couture is one of the most established names in the town's tailoring trade. The company says it has more than 300 tailors, designers and craftsmen and over 17 years of experience, with in-house training covering everything from taking measurements to finishing the final garment.
Yaly runs several shops in Hoi An. Yaly Couture Exclusive is at 47 Tran Phu Street, in the heart of the Ancient Town, and Yaly Couture Signature is at 47 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street. A further branch is at 358 Nguyen Duy Hieu Street, and Men Emporium, at 20 Tran Hung Dao Street, is part of the same group. Each shop publishes its own phone number and email address on the company website, which makes it easy to contact the branch nearest your hotel.
The company says it can create almost any item a customer wants, and its website lists ready-designed pieces, some with prices shown and others on request. Prices for ready-designed items are shown in US dollars on the website, while many tailored pieces are priced on request, so it is worth asking in store for a quote before you commit, and the shops can explain the fabrics on offer. Having several branches also means you can visit more than one shop to compare styles before you decide.
Yaly's measurement guide is useful for repeat orders. It lists 24 measurement points, from collar and shoulder width to thigh, knee and trouser length, and explains how to take each one at home with a friend's help and a tape measure, adding a finger's width of ease for comfort. Returning customers whose measurements have not changed can skip this step, and the team may get in touch to confirm details.
Tailoring suits anyone who wants a wardrobe piece made to their own measurements, and the group also trades under the Men Emporium name at its Tran Hung Dao shop. The Tran Phu shop is easy to combine with sightseeing, since the Fujian Assembly Hall is at number 46 on the same street and Quan Cong Temple is at number 24.
