点评:Not worth the price – disappointed overall
I met John on the bus from Da Nang to Hoi An. He was friendly and told me about his tailor shop, Surprise Tailor. At the time, it seemed like a good opportunity and the reviews online looked great, so I decided to get a tuxedo and a pair of linen pants made.
The total price was $305 AUD, which I thought was fair for a custom suit. But straight away, I was asked to pay the full amount upfront with no option to leave a deposit. Looking back, this should’ve been a red flag. Usually, if a business really believes in the quality of their work, they let you pay the rest after you’re happy with the final product.
The tuxedo seemed okay during the fitting, but even then, I noticed some things felt a bit off — the shirt and jacket didn’t feel as well-made or fitted as I expected from a tailor. I’ve only worn it once since then, so I can’t say how long it’ll last.
The bigger issue was the linen pants. The fabric was thin and see-through — I could clearly see the pockets through the material. I told John I wasn’t happy with them, and to his credit, he did offer me a small refund (300,000 dong out of the 800,000 I paid). Still, I felt they were poor quality and overpriced.
One thing that really bothered me was how much pressure there was to leave a 5-star review right after the fitting — before I even had the finished clothes. I felt uncomfortable saying no at the time because I knew I had to return the next day.
I’d recommend checking out other tailors in Hoi An first. Don’t rush into anything just because someone seems nice or because the reviews look good. And definitely read the negative ones — they tell a different story.
翻译:不值这个价——总体来说很失望
我在从岘港到会安的巴士上遇到了约翰。他很友好,还跟我介绍了他的裁缝店“惊喜裁缝”(Surprise Tailor)。当时,这看起来是个不错的选择,而且网上的评价也不错,所以我决定定制一套燕尾服和一条亚麻裤。
总价305澳元,我觉得对于一套定制西装来说还算合理。但是,我马上就被要求预付全款,而且不能支付定金。回想起来,这应该是一个警示信号。通常情况下,如果一家公司真的对自己的产品质量有信心,他们会允许你在对最终成品满意后再支付余款。
试穿时,燕尾服看起来还不错,但即便如此,我也注意到有些地方不太对劲——衬衫和夹克的做工和合身度不如我想象中那么好。从那以后我只穿过一次,所以不知道它能穿多久。
最大的问题是亚麻裤子。面料很薄,而且很透明——我可以清楚地透过布料看到口袋。我告诉约翰我不满意,值得称赞的是,他确实给了我一笔小额退款(我付了80万越南盾,退了30万越南盾)。尽管如此,我仍然觉得质量差,价格虚高。
真正让我困扰的是,试穿后——甚至还没拿到成品衣服——就被要求留下五星好评的压力有多大。当时我不太好意思拒绝,因为我知道第二天还得再来。
我建议先去会安看看其他裁缝。不要仅仅因为某个裁缝看起来不错或者评价不错就贸然下单。一定要看看负面评价——它们讲述的并非完全一样的故事。
