When I moved to Saudi Arabia back in 2012, I never thought I’d get a suit made here—especially not in Batha. I always assumed I had to go back to the States for proper tailoring. For years, that’s exactly what I did: waited until my visits home to get suits made or dress shirts tailored. Riyadh didn’t seem like the place for that.
Boy, was I wrong.
Recently, in need of a new suit in a pinch, I did a bit of Googling and found a spot in Batha that I’d never paid attention to: a cluster of tailoring shops tucked into a storefront area. One of them—Excellence Tailor Plus—stood out, and I decided to give it a try.
From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in good hands. I got to choose my fabric, the lining, and even the cut. They guided me through the process with ease. After a second fitting, the suit was ready for pickup within the week.
And the price? I paid 1,080 SAR for a full suit and two tailored dress shirts—about what I’d usually spend on just one nice dress shirt back home. So yeah, this felt like a win.
I know there are several other tailors in the same area, and I’m sure many of them do great work—but I’m thrilled with the result I got at Excellence Tailor Plus. The fit is sharp, the stitching is clean, and the service was top-notch.
This is officially my new go-to for suits and dress clothes in Riyadh. If you’re in the city and need something tailored—whether it’s formal wear, work attire, or something custom—don’t sleep on Batha. Amazing guys. Really.
