We recently took my brother Kevin and our friend Mike (who are visiting us in Seoul) to Da Nang, Vietnam for the first time 🇻🇳 During our stay, we knew we wanted to get some custom clothes and accessories made, since Hoi An Ancient Town is THE place to get affordable, custom-made goods. Being pretty tall people, we often find it a challenge to find clothes that fit us properly, so this experience was a LOT of fun. We had quite the collection of linen pieces made, as well as leather bags, and a custom suit for Mike!

A group of friends and family visit Hoi An and Da Nang, Vietnam, to experience the city's renowned custom tailoring. The trip focuses on the benefits of bespoke clothing for various body types, the creation of personalized leather goods, and the enjoyment of local culture, cuisine, and beaches before their sentimental departure.
Hoi An, Vietnam is the place to get affordable customized goods like clothes, shoes, bags,
pretty much whatever you can imagine. My brother Kevin and our friend Mike are visiting us in Seoul
from Nova Scotia, Canada and they really wanted to spend a week in Da Nang, Vietnam during their stay.
And since Hoi An is just a 30 to 40 minute drive from Da Nang, I suggested we get some custom-made
goods there and they were all for it. So stick around to see the entire process of our custom
goods that we had made by the incredibly talented artisans in Hoi An. Just got rescued. You look
like a fly's caught in a spotter's web for a second.
Omelette? Yes, omelette and pho.
This is Mike's round two. Round two.
All right, so we're about to head over to Hoi An and hopefully all of us can get some nice stuff
custom made. Last time we had so much fun with this but like Kevin and Mike are really tall guys.
Mike is like 6'2", Kevin's like almost 6'5". It's tough for them to find clothes that like fit
them properly, so I think this is going to be like a life-changing experience for them. So
yeah, I put that on too. This is the most space I have. I have like these two radiators beside me.
Just a straight line all through there. Yeah. See these people riding bikes? Yeah. You can ride
your bikes to the rice fields but like doing that in the afternoon, in my opinion, is like suicide
because you're just going to get burnt. There's no shade. Oh here we are. It's up ahead. What?
The fields where you were going to see some buffalo perhaps. Oh yes, yes. Oh yeah. See them?
Oh I see little baby water buffaloes. Yeah. Do you have to get up on the table because he's too tall?
This length is good, I like this length.
So the short sleeve is really good. Longer than normal? Yeah, a little bit.
Replicated but with like a couple of small changes. Yes. If possible. So I want it to be
a little longer, maybe like two centimeters longer than this.
The waistband like kind of like this width of elastic but is it possible to put the drawstring
on the inside? Yes. Yeah. And then just like each kind of faux pockets on the back.
If you want it longer, I can help you to make it longer and you have a lot of fabric inside. Sure.
And what about the feet? The feet is perfect, just like that waist is like totally fine. The length?
I would add maybe like two centimeters. Two centimeters longer. Yeah. I save it. The next
time I come here I'm just like screencapping everything and I have an album. The shirt that
I'm wearing now is one of my favorites but it's very old so I'm trying to like recreate it as
close as I can. It's like this kind of neckline. Thin straps but it's got this like little zipper
that's like hidden. This flip can match with the skirt. I know that's what I was thinking.
Yeah but you can change the high neck. I thought it was yours though. One like this straight neck
you know just kind of like facing that line but this fit on me I think is not that pretty like
it doesn't really fit me the best. So you want me to fit it or you want to be really tight? Not
tight but just like I feel like it's not you know what I mean it's a little weird on me.
Yes. What we can do you can make the same but this one we can make the
seam on the back. Yeah. It's still not too tight. Yeah I don't want it tight but like I don't want
have a big bunch in the back. I would love a shirt like yours to go with my skirt. Yeah. Yeah
back and V in the front.
Yeah but don't ask me too many questions about the color. Mike I need your opinion.
Kyuho can't help me. Do you like this for like a linen pant? Just this kind of neutralish brown.
I actually picked that one up. You picked it.
So we have a couple more destinations coming up and because Hoi An is absolutely packed with so
much variety of places to get your clothes, bags, shoes and pretty much whatever you can imagine
customized it can be pretty overwhelming to find places. So we absolutely use google maps every
time to get around and make sure we don't get lost and we're able to do that because we use

little something made for Mike. All right that was your first like getting measured and tailored
experience debrief. It was interesting. I like the amount of detail they take into consideration for
my exact size, my exact length. Yeah. Length is an issue for me as I'm sure you can appreciate.
There aren't many places back home I can go to get my length. Affordable wise too. The amount
of options that they offer is a bit overwhelming. I'm glad they're experienced and they're able to
help out with that kind of thing. So show some colors, show some fits. We'll see how they turn
out on the workplace. Okay so cheaper it is more polyester she said? Yes. That's correct like the
cheaper it is you're going to have synthetic material. You want like a good one you know if
you're going to get it made mid or high mid. So the most important which level you want to spend
for? You like one back pocket or you like two back pockets? For two back pockets. You want to go white
or light blue? Uh white. I will bring you both white for two different fabrics.
Oh yeah.
I'm excited for this Mike.
Mike got measured for his suit. Everyone except for Kyuho is getting linen stuff made.
Now we're heading to our leather bag shop because I want to get one made that's a little bigger
because I film with three cameras now so I need more space. So we are just uh yeah going over
there now. Hello. My brother and me too I mean obviously I'm coming here yeah we film with like
three different types of cameras now right so I need a slightly bigger leg yeah would it be
possible to make this but in leather leather like this kind of size and shape but like
leather obviously no just this is fine yeah
Looks like Sarah you're gonna get one too. Oh I'm kind of tempted.
Here I'll try it on for you.
Oh nice. Sarah what the hell.
Oh nice.
Do you like these ones too for your? Yeah I do this need to be more of a style.
Yeah. Actually. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Is this fine? Yeah. Yeah. I like this style with this color.
But um to be honest if you get in this design with that
leather it's gonna be a little bit thick. Ah right.
So we can choose something like similar color but in different type of leather.
That's gonna be softer. So for example for example you can do this leather.
Yes. Beautiful. This color in this design. Okay. So you want like that leather but with this kind
of style with that. Yeah. A little more casual. Because leather feels like you know a little
more stronger. Stronger. So like just for the detail part I like this. Yeah. But just like the
shape like this would be great but because this is just plastic and not really great like the
the silver detail would be great instead. The silver. Perfect. It's soft so that's what I need.
So it should be wonderful with the silver. Yeah.
And how about inside? With the lining? A little black? Black is fine. Yeah. Yeah. Black lining
works. Let's just keep making it easy.
Yes. You can keep this if you want to.
Sorry for coming at your lunch time. No I'm already. It was finished. Okay. Okay. It was
perfect timing. Just want to let you know that this shop is only open until the end of September
and then we have to close. What? But and then because my boss is lucky because she has two
shops. Oh. But that's so sad. But no problem. We will keep in touch by Instagram. Exactly.
Enjoy your holiday. Thank you. Thank you. Your husband, brother and you stay best friend. Yes.
Thank you. Bye. See you Friday. See you Friday.
Wow. It's like the Halifax Harbor but in Vietnam I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I like it more than Japan.
What? Yeah. I'm sorry to say. Kevin just said that he likes Vietnam more than Japan.
Really? Yeah. I never thought you would say that. I love Japan but this. Yeah. I really.
That's my hot take. Wow. That's a hot take. I appreciate it though like. I mean for me it's
like a tie because they're just so different. They are different. It is really hard to compare.
Yeah. Maybe I just like the weather more. Yeah. The architecture is more interesting in my opinion.
And I'm liking the food more. Food. The morning swims. The morning swims. Yeah.
Awesome. Fair enough. Yeah. Well. I'm kind of hungry. We are here. This is the restroom right here.
Yeah. Yes. Yeah. You know what you guys should do is buy some Vietnamese chopsticks before you
go back because they're like easy. No. You like the challenge. I like the soft ones. Yeah.
I have like not much appetite because it's so hot. I just want ice something. You're gonna see
our father and you'll change your tune I bet. Maybe. Man we're gonna have like some big haul
of stuff on Friday. Mike I cannot wait to see that suit. Oh it's gonna be amazing. I'm like so
excited for you. Charcoal. Charcoal is the best. Charcoal with a dark purple lining.
How is it? Very very good. Very fresh. Yeah.
Probably not too much pressure like what we're doing for Saturday.
Such a cool bench. He's so confident right now. Look at that face.
It's like the night time and daytime but I think the daytime is like
better. I think if you don't mind a very high stress environment night is okay.
But I think you guys would get overstimulated. So yeah this place has really nice coffee.
Alright small emergency here. They're sold out of the coconut coffee smoothies so we're
trying to figure out like plan B. You need one of these today. Oh my god. This is all I was
thinking about like since we were walking in the heat. Lifeblood restored. Pretty much.
Oh we are idiots. We did everything before 12. Yeah swim, breakfast, come in here,
linen and suit. It feels like six. All right we're going for yet another swim in the ocean
because we're trying to get as much of those swim sessions in as possible. We just saw Kevin and Mike
go around the corner. Oh all right the ambiance is amazing. I know. Did you lose your sunglasses
again? Sarah help him. Oh shoot I wasn't even filming. Kevin lost sunglasses again.
No joke this moth has been hanging out on this exact spot on the wall since we woke up at like
6 a.m. There's nothing like swimming in the warm ocean, having a shower, and then coming back out
like freshly dressed to go out for dinner. We're gonna go to um a restaurant that like we really
like. We've been there several times before that we think Kevin and Mike will also like. And it
won't take long to get there and also the food they have little different options that they've
never tried. Yeah. Yeah it's very gentle and herby. Herby nourishing. Yeah herby punchy flavor. I love
like all like the herbs that they use in the cooking here. It's just oh it's so good. Like with
my you know I can't eat like too much spicy stuff these days and well. Yeah same. You too. We're
getting older okay. So it's nice to have like such a punch of flavor without like spice burning. Yeah.
Hello. Mike he's not here yet. I have not seen him yet. Kyuho said we walked over 10,000 steps today
and we swam in the ocean twice. Loving it. I'm so glad. So I mean maybe we're just lucky with
the weather so far but like I'm loving the hot weather. Hey Mike. We're all like so sleepy.
That's really hot. I think I have to wait to eat this first.
But the pizza I tried earlier. I just have to wait.
But they're the best when they're hot.
Fit? Yeah they don't put the buttons on until like you know they know it fits you right.
Damn finally. Finally pants long enough for you.
This looks so awkward.
I mean without the t-shirt in there I'd like it better but. Yeah I know but. It's very you. Yeah.
Finally pants that are long enough.
Yeah. I love that color. Yeah that's a really good one.
You like take up the entire store.
Look sharp man. Looks good. Looks good. Perfect length.
Uh I usually roll. Pants. Perfect length.
I can move. Yeah.
That color looks really good on you. Oh my god. I love the pleating. No honking.
Okay that's fine. I can sacrifice. Okay.
Oh nice. So this is the waist you want right? Yes.
Yeah the length long enough for you. Yeah it's actually long enough for you.
But how is it on me like. Yeah. Yeah this is exactly where I want it. This fits really well.
Yeah.
I like the slits here. I think here would have been too long. This is perfect.
And the pants are like perfect. Can you check the length? Also the fabric a bit different.
This one is more. A little bit. It's soft but a little bit softer. Yeah. This is totally fine.
Yeah the hip can be a bit different. But let me know if you want to change something.
No. I love this. I like it when it's like very flowy and light. And the color is
exactly what I was looking for. And the waist is perfect too. And this is like.
This is fast. Yeah. Because that's the only grip I have with those. I don't like to get
in the way. So I just want it to kind of look cleaner. Yeah. I think we all have the same
We all picked that same material. Okay next.
Got this and you got this. Yes. A chocolate. Yes. Yes. And then done.
What higher? Um maybe a little bit higher. Yeah. Yeah that's perfect.
My other one had this big one in the back. Yeah. I might have seen here.
But I think it's nice to move this one. This one. The adjustable straps to on the back.
Now just showing the front. Oh. Yeah. I just cut it and then it's on the back.
Were you suggesting different? Maybe that's what I'm guessing.
So. Thoughts. It took me a lot of convincing to get you to do it. Yeah. You were reluctant at first.
A little bit. I'm really glad I did it because now I have clothes that are specifically tailored
to me instead of you know just a shirt that was spit out of the factory to fit everyone.
The quality of a custom tailored shirt is more than I can express. Like it's so much nicer than
going to like a store and just getting like a boxy shirt that one size fits all. To have something
custom made specifically for you it it doesn't not just feel nice it's also good for the for the
mind as well. Yeah. I agree. I love it. Especially if you don't have like a average kind of body type
like I think we do. Like we're all rather tall and like long and just like there's always something
about the garment that just doesn't quite fit right for me. Whether it's like arm length, leg
length. For me here it's the tapers on the sides it's not a boxy feel. It conforms to my body and
it's very noticeable and it's very comfortable. Yeah. You feel more confident I think when you're
wearing my stuff. Yeah I felt great in all those shirts. I could tell you're like. Yeah it's a huge
confidence boost. Yeah. I highly recommend doing that when you come here. I'm glad you guys had
such a good experience. And she was so sweet. Very sweet. They're wonderful. They're amazing.
So talented and like they just bend over backwards to get you exactly like what you want. She's like
are you sure you don't want to like make this you know a little bit shorter I think a little
better like even though it's more work for them. Right. If you're not sure what you want they will
help you out and say like hey you know this is a style that you know is popular. So it's
yeah they're very helpful. Yeah but it's really fun like trying on all these clothes that have
custom made to your measurements. That's Mike's feet.
That fits you so well.
That's crazy. Mike that's perfect.
What do you think? Very nice.
Welcome to the dining room.
You know James Bond. You're even more sexy than James Bond.
It's really good.
Hello.
It's so hot lately. That's why. Yeah.
I've never seen before. Today because of the weather. The weather is so hot.
You too right?
Wow.
She's so sweet.
Oh my gosh.
This is exactly what I'm looking for.
It's so soft.
I love it.
Yeah that's the one. That's the kind I want.
Thank you.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much.
I hate it.
Thank you so much.
It suddenly got so hot like yesterday right?
Perfect.
That's perfect for your aunt.
She'll love it.
I'm sure she will. How can you not?
I love it.
It's perfect.
Wallet, phone, one camera, two cameras.
Thank you so much.
That's amazing.
Feel it.
It's so soft.
It's very your style.
I love it.
Thank you so much.
You need to say thank you.
Because you always watch me.
Thank you.
You're so talented.
Bye bye.
Get some rest.
Bye bye.
Just close your eyes.
We're all dying in the heat.
There's another one up there.
We just had the most spectacular swim.
We have been swimming every single day
since we've been here.
One day we even swam twice.
We've just been loving it.
We did work up quite an appetite.
Since we've been loving and enjoying
Vietnamese food every day,
because it's amazing,
we thought we'd mix things up a little bit
at the end and get some Mexican food.
There's a place in Da Nang
that does Mexican food so well
that we just can't not go there
one more time.
I think I need a beer.
I'm exhausted.
I just want a really cold beer.
Today was so hot.
Scorching heat.
Mike, that burrito is obscene.
You found them?
Favorites.
Oh my god, yes.
Wait, is that the whole stock?
No, I left some.
They have a lot of imported Korean stuff.
I think we cleaned that place out
of those chocolate covered mangoes
because Mike got some too.
We got three.
Then we did.
We just had our
last resort breakfast together
with Kevin and Mike.
We're all packing.
We were so lucky with the weather.
It was sunny and clear the entire time.
We swam every single day
in the ocean.
I think Kevin liked it
more than I thought he even would.
Which was quite interesting.
Yeah, I don't want to forget anything.
I feel like, funny enough,
you're taking it harder than any of us.
Leaving.
It was just a lot of fun.
Kids going on a road trip.
That's what it feels like.
You guys can try this.
Grand finale.
Where's my friend?
There he is.
