how cheap is Clothing in bali
not sure what to bring with me...... so was thinking i am moving to work so will probably buy gear in bali cheap stuff. 3 sets of shorts and t and a trainers and my suit trousers and 5 shirts for work normal lavatory stuff. i will be spending most of my time working a 5 1/2 day week so its not like a holiday, but was wondering how cheap it would be buy things like suit trousers and shirts and shorts and stuff. you know the simple things. i know i am being vague.
I don’t know where you'll be working but suits and suit trousers in Bali are almost as rare as hen’s teeth. But to answer your question, shorts and stuff are far less expensive here, especially if you’re the size of the Balinese. My Balinese friends get gorgeous and often well-made latest fashion clothes at the market. Not the tourist markets but the traditional markets. Even the shops geared to tourists sell clothes for less than you’d get them at home.Originally Posted by knocky
If you’re not the size of the Balinese there are tailors all over Bali who do an excellent job. Take in a pair of your favourite shorts, choose a fabric, and ask him to make them like your sample. My husband only has one pair of shorts in many different colours. And I can’t talk him into anything else. The pockets are just the way he wants them. The fit is perfect. The fabrics are his choice. He’s in danger of me falling for a man just a tad less set in his ways.

You can get everything you need [inc suit trousers and trainers] in Hardys supermarket. Plenty of their shops around and very reasonable prices.
what about a fatty like me with 36inch waste lol
Go to a good tailor and have them made. About one third of the price of western countries.
Yes, size is an issue. Mat is right that Hardy's is worth checking, but they are mainly stocking for locals, and may not have larger sizes. You have to try everything - don't just look at the shirt that says XL and think that will be OK - it can be too tight under the arms or something like that.
Matahari has decent dress shirts, trousers, ties and suits. Not sure about sizes though but prices are ok. Might be worth a look.
haha get myself down to the gym lol
