The Good Stuff
Trouser fit
Several reviews praise the trouser stitching, including excellent fit after tailoring and notably well-fitting women's pants.
Shirt details
Shirts can be customised in details such as the neck and cuffs, with one customer reporting a particularly precise result.
Fabric choice
Customers mention a wide collection of materials, useful if you want to choose fabric in the shop before stitching.
Alterations
The alteration service has handled suits and trousers well for repeat customers, making it useful beyond new garments.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm details. Confirm collar, cuff and button-down details at every trial; one shirt order was delivered in the wrong style.
Allow time. Build in extra time for adjustments: one trouser order needed three visits for small changes before the fit was right.
Inspect orders. Try on every garment before accepting the order, since one customer found only one of four shirts was a misfit at trial.
Compare costs. Compare the quote with nearby tailors before ordering; reviews repeatedly describe Kachins as expensive.
Check fabric. Ask about fabric availability before finalising a replacement, as one shirt had to be reordered when the original fabric was unavailable.

The Bottom Line
Kachins Tailor & Trading is a long-established bespoke tailor in Bur Dubai where customers order custom suits, shirts and trousers, as well as alterations. Reviews highlight careful finishing, custom shirt details such as neck and cuff styles, and trousers that can fit exceptionally well. There is also a broad in-store fabric collection, and customers use the shop for men's formalwear, wedding suits and Indian wear.
The experience is not uniformly smooth. Some orders are completed neatly and adjusted quickly after a trial; others involve repeated fittings, missed instructions or late delivery. One customer visited four times for four shirts, received one in the wrong button-down style, and was still waiting for the alteration more than a month later.
Another reported five unsuccessful trials for a suit length. That makes a careful trial and final inspection worthwhile. Prices are a significant consideration.
Reviews call the shop expensive compared with nearby tailors, although some long-term customers feel the workmanship justifies the cost. If you are ordering several garments, confirm every measurement and design detail in writing, ask about fabric availability, and leave room in your schedule for possible adjustments.
