I'm a regular customer of Rex. Whenever I needed a suit, Rex is definitely the tailor that I would visit. I had 4 suits with them, all came out perfectly as my expectation.
Customer service was great, they are happy to do some minor alterations when I requested. For those who lives in Penang, you should give Rex a try.

I got my 3-piece business suit with Chung, the owner of the shop and he really did a great job for my suit. Unfornutately, MCO came a week after I picked up my suit. Of course, my body shape went a little off after months of quarantine at home. Lucikly, Chung was able to help me alter the suit to fit me perfectly again.
Thank you for the excellent after sales service! To those who needed a suit, Rex Custom Tailor is definitely your choice. Recommended to every Penangites!

My teenage son needed urgently a tailored suit.. It was excellent. It fitted perfectly. The price was good and the quality amazing. I will definitively come back. These are masters!!!!!
As we needed the suit urgently and had to leave the country they even delivered an extra shirt directly to the place we were staying.
A BIG BIG THANK YOU.
The whole family in Switzerland loved the quality of the suit.
Thank you so so much!
The 2 brothers are masters.

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!!

Out of my so many suit making adventure throughout the whole Penang, this place has given me a very impactful experience as a customer. The staff there are very well blessed with knowledge regarding tailor making hence they also very friendly through the entire process from fabric selection to the end of suit collection. Never once I felt any feeling of dishonesty from them. So I highly recommend those who looking for well made yet affordable suits.

I’ve been a frequent customer at Rex and they never fail to deliver. It’s a family based business, Mr. Chung, the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable about his craft. He was very careful with every details hence my suit was perfectly tailored for me. Not to mention the services they provide definitely worth the price !

I've just picked up shirts and trousers from Rex Tailors in Penang and I'm very happy with the product.
Chuang is a very experienced and knowledgeable man, he instantly understood what I wanted and advised me on how he would cut the garmens to suit my body shape. He advised on current fashion but also suggested it that gentlemen of a certain age (me) should
stay with the more classic cut.
The team at Rex know their craft and are able to advise their clients about fashion but even more importantly, to me at least, is that they are not just a measuring house, it's all done by them at their premises.
My clothes were ready for the first fitting within a week, final fitting a week after that, but I wasn't in a hurry.
If you want quality and want advice on material, cut and style, give these guys a try.

It was a very comfortable and new experience of having my shirts and suit tailor-made. The Chinese owner and his son, are very friendly and gave me an excellent service. As this is the first time I’m getting a tailor-made suit, I was unsure of where to start but they guided me step by step according to my needs.
I ended up making one navy blue 2-piece suit and one white shirt for myself which cost RM950 and RM180 respectively. The quality of fabrics and craftsmanship was really great compared to off the rack suit that I had once bought in PADINI. I was especially satisfied with the interlining of the suit. They told me that my package includes their premium interlining, and I could pick any lining that I liked. As a result, the suit is very comfortable to wear. I like the way how a suit is customized for its owner as they even crafted my name in my suit. My girlfriend like it very much too!
Thank you for the great service, Rex. Definitely one of the best tailor shops in Penang!

I was asked to write a review for Rex Custom Tailor and I'm very happy to do so!
I had a wonderful experience when I went to Rex Custom Tailor to have 2 pure wool suits customized. The owner, Mr.Siang, gave me the best tailor experience and knew exactly what I wanted! He gave me honest information, a professional opinion, but ultimately let me make the choices I wanted.
He is very attentive through the fitting process and made sure the final product was what I wanted and done right. I’m really happy with his service and the end product.
The only cons for this shop is that it's located in a heavy traffic area and it's not convenient for people to search for a car-park. I would suggest to either call a taxi or have your car parked inside GAMA Supermarket (located in front of Rex Custom Tailor), but you have to pay for the parking fee.
Other than that, everything else is perfect! Definitely going to recommend to my friends! Thank you!
