Tips # 2 to help a good result for a M.T.M, saled by sales, done by a Manifacture

Aug. 28 /2014 . I try to give some advice to sales person regarding how important is the observation of costumer posture during measurement.

Was not my intention criticise any manufacture or compare their work, nor to compare with the M.T.M. done by a tailor whom not need my advice.

I like to add a another suggestion : Take all way the measure of the Neck.( that measurement save the Re-Cut the jacket wen costumer as: jacket size 54 ( 43″ ) Neck 15. 1/2 Long Neck ( normal 17)

Tips for a Made to Measure

Recently I Re-Cut a very exspencer suit made T.M. from the best brand name .
Which cost goes from $ 3.000.00 to $12.000.00 .
Most them problem was : big on front, small on back, others out of balance.

Both problem comes from wrong measurement.
and must important no communication with whom cutting the suit regarding customer posture.

To avoid Re-Cut :
A salesperson should contact the Desig. of the manufacturer and ask how he want the measurement be taken ( Design not use all the same way)
Observe the costumer posture as: Erect, Stoop, Sloop shoulder, Low shoulder,Flat Chest, Pigeon Chest, Flat seat , Prominent seat, Hip hig, + take 3 picture : front, back, and side.
Sleeves length from shoulder center seam, the inside measurement only in repeat order.
