At Yali, none of the men in our group bought the suits that were made for them the tailoring was so bad. After extensive measurements: jackets were too tight or too lose; pants had rises too long or too short; pants were invariably too tight; cuffs were added by heat tape; etc. etc. etc. Yali's reputation for service is overrated and not true. The only thing that Yali did correctly was copy a shirt made in Hong Kong. As we walked around Hoi An and explored other shops we saw similar situations. In a shop called My My, they put pockets on custom shirts that were disproportionately large and inappropriately placed on the body of the shirt-the shirts looked rediculous and the customers said so. Hoi An is not the tailoring destination that its reputation would have you believe. perhaps customers with minimal standards are satisfied, but if you dress well, Hoi An is a disappointment.
