I attended a travel fair in Bangkok last summer and had just enough time off for two days to visit measure of the towns have their own color. Bangkok, Asian and many others are to visit places great shirts, a tailor tailored suits , custom, jackets and other clothing at an affordable price. But it is better equipped to be and to understand the process before jumping in and taking advantage of that offer $ 99. Here's a quick guide to what to expect.
In almost all largeAsian city, shop after shop, souvenir sellers, vendors of t-shirts, jewelers, tailors and invite you to come and "look". But be careful to go, if you really want a dress and are willing to spend up to $ 300 for a two-piece dress with a fabric of decent quality. Everything that gets less, and may also be off the rack at K-Mart.
Most shops are small, but some may be part of a larger chain. Not very important for your purposes. All are taken only by boltsTissue that can make your measurements and send them to a factory for the actual cutting and sewing. Some may be very high tech now. They store the measures in a database, and you will be able to order new dresses or shirts or pants by e-mail address and credit card.
The hearing
The operator or the owner (who has the authority to negotiate), will ask what you are looking for. They tell a dress or a jacket, but you're just looking for now simple. He is committed toYou are very friendly and offer a cold beer. He will ask you to sit down and show a photo collection of models to withstand different types of clothes to find what you are interested in. If you do, you are addictive and on track for a new dress.
Once you select a style (1, 2 or 3 buttons, double or single breasted, collar type of back-center or side vents, etc.), it is you want to talk substance. He shows you the difference between genuine and fake cashmere cashmerewoolen fabrics (also known as polyester) Continue burning a small sample with a lighter and then to ensure that only wants the best material for you and for the price of $ 99 based on polyester fabric. Succumb to agree that you really want the real wool.
Note that these boys is not a model of style and not necessarily a good job to advise the right type of dress or jacket for your purposes. But they are leading to a lot 'Decisions.
During this initial process of discovery, the Schneiders will avoid a price, but when it decides how many suits, shirts, ties, etc. He finally put together a package price for you. This is, after all, where the negotiation begins. Bargain hard and stay away and be prepared to walk., So he can throw extra shirts or ties to finally seal the deal.
Measurements and the first mounting
Once you agree on a price, the tailor takes measurements.You need a minimum of two days for the process, but three is better. Within the first few days, you have your first test. You will return in store, the real Schneider, is a rough cut of the most important pieces to be met. It will examine to ensure that the width and length are fine and chalk and pen the exact spots for the final assembly. We return to the store to come the next day for another device.
According to the fitting
When the second installation of the entire suiteand tailor or shop owners will do their best to persuade that fits correctly when you try on it. But here, where there is a good idea to have someone with you to confirm your concerns with the shoulders too narrow, too long sleeves, or whatever the problem. Be strong and tell them what you want to do and will tolerate. However, if the dress fits really at this point then you are done!
Final assembly
be made after the last change, Schneiderprobably want to deliver to the hotel. This reduces the possibility that rejected him. You can also send someone does not speak English very well, so that if something is wrong it must articulate a difficult time. If, however, is not always the right balance is strong and demand more changes. You can request a visit to the shop again.
Lessons Learned
While able to produce a custom color in less than a day, it is better to have at least 3 days available ensuring that fits better.
Have all your meetings in the shop, because it is more likely to attempt to settle there.
Get the best material you can afford.
Use a tailor-made to save the measurements and can be ordered online with new clothes, at any time after.
For women's clothes, more time for additional equipment. The consensus is that you need 4-7 days.
