Jaspal Tailor.. Patong, Phuket

I went to the tailor a couple of weeks ago and came out with a couple of lovely cuff links usable shirts, lovely cotton and well made.

I must admit to have never really used a tailor anywhere before and I found the process to be most therapeutic. Raul my tailor was a very mild mannered and kind fella who took measurements in a very professional way and made me feel most welcome.

I choose the materials, light and soft cottons in yellow and was asked to come back in 2 days time with a 'fit out'. As is always the case, some areas of the shirt had taken in to maximize the effect and appearance but all went very well. I moved from a geeza in a shirt to 'Ambassador Phil'!!... they really looked great.

I picked up the completed shirts after another 2 days and felt very happy with myself. I choose Jaspals Tailors for 2 reasons... I know Jaspal from my running club, The Hash House Harriers and as importantly, my brother in-law, Dave, has been using Jaspal's shirts for some years and has had no problems at all with washing them, colours etc.

The guy in the pictures is Dave the brother in-law.... cheers Dave!
