While researching for my trip to Panama City, Panama, I heard about the Tailor of Panama. I contacted the owner Ariel Abadi ariel@lafortunapanama.com in advance, and setup a time for me to have a suit tailored. I arrived at his shop, which is called LaFortuna, I sat down with Ariel and discussed what type of suit I wanted. Ariel speaks English so that helped things go smoothly. My suit was made in about 4 days, and within those 4 days I had to go back to the shop several times for fittings. Ariel's staff was great, and I really had a delightful time. The suit cost $400 US, and I was a very happy camper. When I wear the suit...people notice, so at least once in you lifetime, I suggest you have a suit tailored...it is well worth it.

Panama City, Panama

I recently traveled to Panama, City Panama and fell in love with the country of Panama. This place was amazing in every aspect. It has a great traditions, community, and most of all I fell in love with its people. It was a very safe and inexpensive city, and very easy to navigate even for a non Spanish speaking person like myself. The food, the sites, and the style of the city was something I did not expect...it blew me away. If you ever get the chance to visit Panama...this country will welcome you with love.
