How to Select The Right Bespoke Men’s Suit Tailor? – Part 2
Let’s continue from where we left in the previous blog. The concluding part of the blog will cover more factors on how to pick the right men’s tailor for your next suit. Read on…
Tailoring turnaround times
The best tailors are often the busiest. Obviously, you can’t play the waiting game for long—definitely not when you are in a pinch. Ideally, you may need a tailor who can attend to your needs in a rather responsive and professional manner. Advance your planning in a way that you give sufficient breathing time for the tailor and not bury him with unrealistic deadlines.
Samples of the tailor’s work
Images, videos, testimonials and references of previous works or customers may go a long way in preferring to choose a particular tailor over others. Remember to request sample works and take a good look at them before you proceed with the style, cut, color and measurement.
Point of satisfaction
Don’t try to equate the satisfaction that the tailor may express over his work with yours or overall satisfaction. Make it a point to over-communicate with the tailor as to achieve the final finish; don’t let optics overrule you at any point.
Communication Skills
A tailor who can communicate effectively is a rare breed. Needless to say with communication comes confidence and with confidence comes perfection. Talk to the tailor in person and may be even over the phone to understand if he has read your mind properly. Does he give a lending ear to all your needs or remain cold? Does he push you where the wind blows or towards what you want? If there is a communication gap between you and the tailor, things may get loose and go off the hook completely.
Finally, does the tailor understand the language of style and fashion? Can he make the final cut in terms of coordination and colours? The aforementioned points may seem so elementary, but they help you make an informed decision when it comes to culling out the right tailor for your dream suit.
