Gangnam tailor shop for wedding-parent custom suits: Tag Suit

Tag Suit location and parking in Gangnam

A tailor shop on the fourth floor of Somang Plaza

Tag Suit, a Gangnam tailor shop for custom formalwear, is located on the fourth floor of Somang Plaza.

Parking in Gangnam is always a worry, right? Valet fees are so expensive, and there often is not even a space available, so I hesitate to drive there. But Tag Suit, a Gangnam tailor shop for custom formalwear, has parking in front of the building as well as underground parking.

Take the elevator up to the fourth floor and you will find the entrance to Tag Suit.

Custom-suit consultations by reservation

When you enter, there are already so many custom suits hanging up, even though it is a relatively new business. I guess good places get known quickly.

Lots of people were in consultations, but Tag Suit operates 100% by reservation, so they really put their all into consulting with every customer.

There are consultation areas throughout the shop. It seemed they consult with up to about three parties at a time.

There is a changing room and a full-length mirror in the shop, so we could change comfortably during the consultation.

Custom-suit prices and fixed pricing

• Korean-fabric custom suit from ₩299,000
• Imported-fabric custom suit from ₩630,000
• Korean-blend fabric + custom shirt + tie package from ₩490,000

At other custom-suit shops, there is an added charge for every little thing, right? Tag Suit operates with fixed pricing. I researched so many places because I wanted to have custom suits made for both sets of parents. It was much cheaper than other shops. The prices are really reasonable, yet the suit quality is good, which is probably why there are so many customers.

Choosing everything from fabric to shirt details

There are so many fabrics. They first explained the product I had booked, then compared it with the fabrics above it so I could choose. Naturally, the more expensive the fabric, the better it was.

I had a consultation for Korean fabric. I compared the standard Korean fabric with the premium fabric and chose the premium one with a higher wool content. Since we were doing it, I wanted to get something good for him.

We picked the color we wanted from the premium fabrics. If they had a suit sample in that fabric, we could try it on and see whether it suited him.

Upper- and lower-body measurements and body-shape assessment

Once the fabric selection was complete, we started taking measurements.

They carefully measured his upper body, including the neck, shoulders, sleeves, arm circumference, wrists, chest width, back width, upper chest, and midsection.

They also measured the lower body: waist, hips, thighs, length, hem width, calves, and more.

After measuring both the upper and lower body, they carefully checked his body shape as well. My father has pronounced bowed legs and forward-head posture.

The wedding-parent package I chose included a suit, custom shirt, and tie, so we could also choose the shirt fabric and color.

We could choose the shirt fit, front chest pocket, collar shape, cuff shape, and every other detail for it to be made.

There were four collar shapes and five cuff shapes to choose from however we liked.

Fitting and alterations 2 weeks later

About 2 weeks after the measurements, Tag Suit contacted us to come in for fitting and alterations.

Tag Suit says it uses measurement data and AI for precise analysis and to innovate its distribution process, allowing it to provide custom suits in a short period at reasonable prices. AI really is the best, I guess.

My dad has quite pronounced bowed legs and forward-head posture. The suit made his legs look longer and covered his protruding belly and short legs so well. I think we did a really good job getting his custom suit at Tag Suit.

It came out really well from the side too, right?

For wedding-parent ties, the groom's side can go with a blue base and the bride's side with a red base, in the pattern they want.

My father-in-law has been working hard to diet for the wedding, but he lost so much weight over 2 weeks that we measured him again and requested alterations. Still, Tag Suit offers unlimited alterations and lifetime after-sales service, so there is nothing to worry about.

After finishing the wedding-parent custom suits

You can get a custom suit that fits you perfectly in just 2 weeks, and the price is reasonable too, so there was no reason to buy ready-to-wear. How about having a suit made at Tag Suit, a Gangnam formalwear shop, too?
