We have wanted to address this topic for quite some time, as it seems to be a common source of misunderstanding between us and our clients.
To begin with, we want to clarify an important point: our goal is not simply to earn money from everyone, but to build relationships with clients who appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that we offer.
As with any industry, the world of "online tailoring" has its own unique clientele. Many people may not be familiar with the differences between a fused suit and a canvassed suit, or they might assume that body measurements and suit measurements are the same. Some may prioritize price over quality or expect a custom-tailored suit to be completed in less than a week, rather than the typical 4 to 6 weeks.
For a seller, the transaction might end once a payment is received, but for a tailor, it is just the beginning of our commitment to creating a well-crafted garment. To a seller, $200 is the same regardless of who the customer is. However, for us as tailors, accepting payment from someone who may not fully understand or value the process can lead to challenges. We believe in building long-term relationships with clients who share our passion for quality, and we strive to avoid any misunderstandings that could compromise that experience.
Suddenly, we want to write something…
Or maybe not so suddenly; the urge to start a journal has existed for a very long time.
Let this be the first entry in our history.
There is so much we want to share, but when we try to write, we don’t know where to start. All we have are feelings—mixed feelings. We want to shout, cry, and be happy…
We are tailors, not sellers.
We won’t publish every day, obviously, but we will try to share something regularly, to make this page something long-lasting.
Maybe you’ll want to follow along. Maybe not.
May every hard-working person deserve all the happiness they seek.
