The staffs were very friendly and I love the workers that very committed in showing a good hospitality to us. I went with my friends total up to 13 people making a custom suit together. Honestly, the service is so fast during the measuring session even though we late an hour from the appointment timeframe. But I’m glad this shop is helping us without complaining and assisting us as we want. I’m very recommending all the viewers to come and have a experience buying a custom luxury suit from Rex Custom Tailor 🫶🏼

Top notch service. High quality material with many years experience. Highly recommended even though to some the price may be on the higher end but it’s worth every penny. Well done Rex!

I had an amazing experience with REX Tailor! The quality of their work on my coat was exceptional. From the moment I stepped into their shop, their staff was attentive and helpful. They listened to my preferences and offered valuable suggestions. The craftsmanship on my coat was flawless, and it fits me perfectly. I was impressed with their attention to detail and dedication to delivering a top-notch product. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and I highly recommend REX Tailor for anyone looking for exquisite tailoring services. They've won me over as a loyal customer!

Went to REX to get myself a tailored 2-piece suit before starting my new job in consulting. I was in Georgetown for a very limited time but REX tailored a full suit of amazing quality in just 24 hours. So happy with the result and recommend everyone to go here. Price/Quality ratio is amazing.

The staff were vary attentive, have a great selection of fabrics in stock and are also willing to get material in for you. It will take a few days extra, so go there at the start of your stay. A suit will normally take around 4 days. They will ask you to come back for a fitting and then a day or 2 later to pick up the finished product. The guys are really friendly, can speak pretty good English and great attention to detail. Prices are not the cheapest, but certainly not the dearest, but definitely great value for money when you consider each suit is custom tailored to you. Could not recommend them highly enough!!

Recently, I visited Rex Custom Tailor to have a suit made for a special event. The service I got from the staff at Rex Custom Tailor was impressive. They took the time to understand what I wanted and made great suggestions to make sure the final product was just what I wanted. They were polite and I felt like a valued customer. I liked that the staff, especially Mr. Chung, who always kept me updated on my suit progress. Even though it took longer than expected, the end result was well worth the wait. The attention to detail was amazing, the fabric was good, and the stitches were perfect. Overall, I would strongly suggest Rex Custom Tailor to anyone in Penang who wants high-quality tailoring services. I will definitely come back when I need more tailoring.

I have never seen a business with 5 stars rating with over 500 reviews and there is a good reason for it.
I brought the fabrics from Sydney, Australia for 4 pairs of pants, 3 jackets plus numerous alterations. The jackets were challenging to make as two were fancy velour and a red & black jacquard fabric.
Chung over delivered plus he is a delightful and a genuine friendly character. His mum Cindy handled the administration, and his dad does the cutting.
When I am back in Penang for my next bespoke shirts, pants and jackets, Rex is the only option. Prices were most reasonable and craftmanship is as good as it gets.
