Recommended HCMC / Saigon, Vietnam tailors?
I'm going to be in HCMC for 3 days this fall and am looking to have a few things made. I realize this is fairly short notice but I've heard of tailors that will come measure at your hotel and turn things around in just a couple of days - so hopefully I have just enough time. I've seen a lot of recommendations here and elsewhere - but most shops seem to like a week+ for new clients.
Looking for a recommendation on a tailor for jeans, shirts, and a blazer. Any help very much appreciated! Or let me know if I'm simply being unreasonable and am better off not pursuing this.

Personally I always buy material in District 3, then take it to a tailor in District 1 I've used many times. I guess it's possible someone could bring a sample book of fabrics to your hotel, but I don't have any recommendations there. You might do best asking at your hotel for reliable nearby tailors, then giving them your deadline up front.

You definitely can find some Saigon tailors able to do a quick turnaround. I'm there now, and had a couple of suits made in 2 days. I wasn't in a hurry; that's the date they gave me. Obviously if you have a hard deadline then last-minute sizing tweaks become problematic.
