new york visit and suit lengths for sale
Published: Monday, September 25th 2006
I am looking forward to my New York trip. The dates are:- 28th October- 1st November. If you would like to see me whilst I am in New York, please email me. I can be contacted in New York on my mobile/cell phone, 07980541235.
I understand there are a few problems from an independent tailor from the UK. Therefore, I am going to briefly outline my plans to make the Atlantic transition a success. If anyone requires more information, please email me. The process will be this:- any orders placed will have to be secured with a deposit, I am a genuine 'one man band', I can't work without deposits, I would be bust. I will prepare any garments ordered for a skeleton try-on, not a forward, including trousers. I will then return to New York to give you your fitting, I am not sure yet whether it will be 9 weeks, or 12 weeks. At the first fitting, I would like customers to be able to give me 45 minutes to do any alterations with baste cotton and needle there and then. I will then re-try your suit on. If you have not got 45 minutes, you can call at the end of the day, or at another convenient time to suit. I will hopefully pick up new orders also. I shall then return home and prepare for a forward fitting and return again to New York to try you on, pick up new orders and try-on the customers for a skeleton fitting, a round robin basically. When the suit is finished, I will invoice the balance, upon cleared funds, will either courier your suit to you, or deliver it at my next visit. By giving two fittings, three really, alterations should be an absolute minimum. If there are any, of course they will be done.
As indicated on my website, I am a one man band. I INTEND TO ONLY TAKE AN AMOUNT OF WORK I CAN DO. It is first come, first served.
I have been asked by one of the gentlemen I am seeing in New York about Yorkshire fabrics and to look out for different suit lengths for him. So.........I have been to one of my cloth suppliers based in Yorkshire and photographed various suit length fabrics. Most are woven in Yorkshire, most are unique and not found anywhere else. They are fabulous quality, as you would expect coming from Yorkshire mills. The fabrics vary from 20oz all wool, to super 160s wool and cashmere and mohair.
There are also some Scottish woven tweeds, fabulous colours and quality. ALL ARE FOR SALE. The photographs below show some of the lengths and fabrics available.
If you would like to purchase one of the fabrics, select one from the photographs below and please drop me an email. I shall bring your chosen fabric with me to New York. You are of course, more than welcome to purchase a fabric and take it to your tailor of choice. Please note:- If you choose a fabric that has to be cut from a piece, I will be unable to return it. The price for these suit lengths vary from £120-£175, I am only able to accept cash for any fabric purchased. I am also going to bring with me an assortment of other various suit lengths, so please feel free to call and see me for a chat and maybe find that suiting you always wanted.
Does anyone have a request for a fabric not pictured here?, let me know, I shall try my best to locate it and bring it with me.
