visiting tailoring in the uk
Published: Sunday, December 9th 2007
I am now visiting more and more destinations than I could ever expect, which is great, I truly mean that!
But the hard truth is that as crucial as this visiting is for me as a business, it is very time consuming, even when it is in the UK.
When I am visiting clients I am not making anything, this time has to be regained otherwise I would never finish anything.
So, I am making a slight change to my tailoring process when I visit and see clients that are far away. namely London and the South, and locations North of Liverpool.
In principle I am going to go straight to a pocket first fitting which is between a skeleton baste and a forward.
I say in principle because of course if I think it would benefit me and my client to achieve a better fit to have a full skeleton baste fitting, and then a forward fitting, I will of course go down this route no questions asked.
There is/will be no compromise to quality by conducting my fittings in this manner.
I have to be in a position to turn my garments around in a reasonable and sensible time frame for me and my clients.
I am simply finding that when distance is involved in dealing with clients, and conducting several fittings, my turn around time for finishing the suit is just too long.
I know I keep banging on about how "I cut and make all my own work" but this is genuinely why I am in this situation, if I had out workers it would not matter.
I will gladly answer any questions to clarify any points that potential clients may be worried about, I can only reiterate, THERE WILL BE NO COMPROMISE ON QUALITY.
ANY CLIENTS I AM CURRENTLY MAKING FOR, OR HAVE ORDERS WITH ME WAITING TO BE CUT OR A FIRST FITTING, WILL BE RECEIVING 2 FITTINGS AS STANDARD.
