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.
