Tailors in Hanoi?
 
I'm looking for a tailor to get some men's shirts made for me when I'm in Hanoi. Are there any tailors who do good work with quick turnaround (<4 days)?

Cao Minh is a reputable tailor and does quick work. You can even order in Hanoi and pick up in Saigon.

Thank you!

Do you know about how much I should expect to pay for a shirt? Is it the kind of place where I should haggle?

Thanks for the link - this place looks interesting and I'm contemplating getting some shirts/suits made here on my trip early next year.

Any references on pricing? Especially compared to Hong Kong tailors.

I don't remember exactly how much shirts cost, but if I had to guess, probably $20-30?

In 2009, IIRC, labor cost was a little over $100 (VND 2.3M) for suits. Depending on the type of fabric, either Chinese or European made. Typically, for fabric only, mid priced Chinese made is about $100 or more per suit, European made could be $200-300 or more per suit. Of course, with inflation, things are probably more expensive now.
