The 7 Best Tailors & Custom Suits in Tokyo (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 7 picks

The best tailors in Tokyo in 2026 for visitors are Global Style and TAGARU for made-to-measure suits with fast or clearly stated turnaround, Kamakura Shirts for made-to-order shirts, and Azabu Tailor for a large chain. For slower, more personal work, choose The Dressing Lab, Ring Jacket Meister or Caid. Each has a Tokyo shop and states its own process on its website.

How we chose

Every shop here is currently operating, has its own website and a Tokyo address, states what it makes, and shows evidence on that site of English service or foreign customers, such as an English page, English-speaking staff, tax-free sales or overseas shipping. Where a shop's site is mainly Japanese, we say so; Azabu Tailor is included as a large chain whose site shows no English at all. Nothing is ranked by price or by quality of cut, nobody paid to be included, and there are no affiliate links. Descriptions, turnaround times and prices are the shops' own statements and can change.

No license or register applies to tailors in Japan, so there is nothing to look up. Before you book, ask about the number of fittings, the exact delivery date against your departure, what alterations cost afterward, and whether the price you were quoted includes tax and any fabric supplement.

Tokyo tailoring comes in three tiers. Made-to-measure (also called pattern order) adjusts a house pattern to your measurements and is built at a factory; shops in this guide that work this way state timelines from about a week to about two months. Bespoke starts from an original pattern, needs several fittings and, at the shops that list it, takes months. Made-to-order shirts sit in between and are the easiest to ship abroad.

If you are visiting, the practical limit is time: ask what is the shortest delivery for your fabric and whether the shop will ship the finished garment. Price bands below refer to a two-piece suit: ¥ is under about ¥50,000, ¥¥ is ¥50,000 to ¥150,000, ¥¥¥ is ¥150,000 to ¥300,000 and ¥¥¥¥ is above that. Bands are only shown where the shop publishes a starting price.

1. GINZA Global Style PREMIUM Ginza Honten — Ginza

A large made-to-measure chain with stated tax-free sales and overseas shipping.

Global Style is a made-to-measure suit shop with branches across Japan; this is its Ginza flagship. Its FAQ says orders are pattern orders: you are measured, try a base sample suit and have the fit adjusted, with more than 5,000 fabrics and over ten designs. A first visit usually takes one hour to ninety minutes.

For visitors, the site is the most explicit of the chains: it says tax-free shopping and overseas shipping are available at every store, that some stores have English-speaking stylists or video interpreting, and that suits normally take about a month, with a speed-finish fair from about two weeks. It also says items shipped abroad cannot be altered or returned.

Good to know: Booking is not required, but tell the shop your departure date first; the site says delivery dates cannot be changed after you order.

2. TAGARU Omotesando — Kita-Aoyama

A Shibuya-based tailor with an English page and a 7-day suit line.

TAGARU has three Tokyo shops, in Daikanyama, Ebisu and Omotesando, and sells made-to-order suits, shirts, coats and casual items. Its English page says it has many overseas customers and lists five reasons they choose it: Japan-made suits, a custom suit in 7 days, English-speaking staff, casual and business items, and overseas shipping.

The 7-day line covers suits, jackets, pants, shirts and ties with a limited fabric choice, and the vest is delivered later. Standard delivery has no fabric restrictions, and the site cites a selection of about 40,000 fabrics. It says the Omotesando store generally has English-speaking staff.

Good to know: The site says English-speaking staff are not always on site, so email [email protected] ahead.

3. Kamakura Shirts Ginza — Ginza

Made-to-order shirts in store or online, with a global store that ships abroad.

Kamakura Shirts (Maker's Shirt Kamakura) has an English global site with a made-to-order shirt service: it says it offers over 300 fabrics, 53 base sizes and 17 collar styles, with pattern details at no extra cost, all made in Japan. Its Tokyo store list marks the Ginza shop as tax-free and as offering made-to-measure shirts.

The global online store lets you create a custom shirt or reorder one, and ships abroad. That makes it the easiest guide entry to use after you leave Tokyo, once you know your size.

Good to know: Get measured in store if you can, then reorder from home through the global site.

4. Azabu Tailor — Azabu-Juban

A national made-to-measure chain with suits from ¥49,500, on a Japanese-only site.

Azabu Tailor sells made-to-measure suits, shirts, jackets, coats and formalwear, and lists a suit from ¥49,500 and a shirt from ¥9,900. Its site says the process ends with delivery about four weeks after the order, and that repeat orders can be quicker. It lists Tokyo stores in Azabu-Juban, Ginza, Omotesando, Marunouchi (KITTE), Nihonbashi and elsewhere.

The website is in Japanese only and does not state English support, so this entry suits visitors who are comfortable ordering with a translation app. Staff may or may not speak English; the site makes no claim either way.

Good to know: Use the online visit booking and message the shop first if you need English; the site does not promise it.

5. The Dressing Lab — Ginza

An appointment-only Ginza salon with an English site and stated lead times for each tier.

The Dressing Lab is a made-to-measure and bespoke salon led by Tomohiro Hayashi, who describes the house style as Italian softness made by Japanese craftsmen. Suits are full canvas, built at Japanese tailoring factories, and its English pages list fabric houses including Loro Piana, Dormeuil and Vitale Barberis Canonico.

The English menu page is unusually clear about timing and price. It says made-to-measure takes about two months (one or two visits) from ¥176,000 for a two-piece suit, and bespoke takes at least six months and three visits from ¥300,000. That makes it a fit for long stays or for planning a return trip, not a one-week visit.

Good to know: It is appointment-only (the site lists 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., closed Sundays and Mondays); book through the reservation page.

6. Ring Jacket Meister 206 Aoyama — Minami-Aoyama

The Aoyama shop of a Japanese jacket maker offering three made-to-measure tiers.

Ring Jacket says it was founded in 1954 to make ready-to-wear clothes with the feel of tailored ones. Its order-system page lists five order systems. The Aoyama and Ginza Six Meister shops take the three lower ones, with suits from ¥264,000 including tax and delivery of about two months. The two highest, with delivery of about four and about twelve months on the page, are taken at its atelier.

The website is in Japanese. Its online store offers overseas buying of eligible items through a third-party service called WorldShopping, but the order systems are described only in Japanese, so bring translation help.

Good to know: Use the atelier booking form on the site; the form says a booking is not confirmed until the shop replies, usually within three business days.

7. Tailor Caid — Udagawacho

A Shibuya bespoke tailor that tells international customers to expect multiple fittings.

Caid is a bespoke tailor in Shibuya that marked its 24th anniversary in February 2026 on its own site. Its Japanese order page describes three visits: a consultation with fabric choice and measuring, a basted fitting about two weeks after the order, and delivery with a final fitting three to five weeks after that.

An English note for international customers says to book by email and that Caid does bespoke only, so book only if you can return for a fitting six to eight weeks after the order date. The order page does not publish prices.

Good to know: Email [email protected] with your preferred date; the site says appointments are required.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a custom suit take in Tokyo, and can I get one in a week?

It depends on the shop and the method. TAGARU says it offers a 7-day suit line with a limited fabric choice. Global Style says its suits normally take about a month, or from about two weeks during its speed-finish fair. Azabu Tailor says about four weeks. At The Dressing Lab, made-to-measure takes about two months and bespoke at least six. A one-week suit is possible only at shops that advertise it, so confirm before you travel.

How much does a custom suit cost in Tokyo?

Published starting prices vary widely. Azabu Tailor lists suits from ¥49,500, Global Style lists made-to-order jackets from ¥28,500 before tax, The Dressing Lab lists made-to-measure two-piece suits from ¥176,000 and bespoke from ¥300,000, and Ring Jacket Meister lists suits from ¥264,000 including tax. Fabric, lining and design options can raise the final price, so ask for a total before ordering.

Can a tailor in Tokyo ship my order abroad?

Some can. Global Style says overseas shipping is available at all stores but that items taken abroad cannot be returned or refunded and are not altered after shipping. TAGARU lists overseas shipping on its English page, and Kamakura Shirts runs a global online store with international shipping. Ask each shop about duties, the shipping method and what happens if the fit is off.

Do Tokyo tailors speak English?

It varies by shop and even by branch. TAGARU says its Omotesando store generally has English-speaking staff but not always, so contact it in advance. Global Style says some stores have English-speaking stylists or video interpreting. The Dressing Lab has an English version of its site, and Caid has an English note for international customers. Azabu Tailor's website is in Japanese.

Can tourists shop tax-free for a made-to-measure suit?

Global Style says tax-free shopping is available at all of its stores for short-stay visitors, who must bring the original passport; it limits the exemption to stays of six months or less. Kamakura Shirts marks its Tokyo stores as tax-free. Rules on custom garments vary, so ask before paying.

Do I need an appointment?

It depends. The Dressing Lab and Caid work by appointment only. Global Style says reservations are not required, while Azabu Tailor asks customers to book ahead. Bespoke shops expect several visits, so book the first fitting early in your trip.
