Our Process
At Giri’s Custom Tailor ,we follow the traditions of the true ‘bespoke’ process, which is essential to the success of a perfect fitting garment. We take our business very seriously to ensure the satisfaction of each individual client. Every measure is taken to fully understand the needs and physical build of each client, which is then translated through artistic and technical design into a true work of art.
1. Appointment
The first meeting begins with a consultation to determine the expectations of the client and to achieve a true understanding of the clothing desired. Although it is not required, it is recommended that each client bring to this appointment their ‘go to’ suit, shirt or other garment, to give us the best sense of their likes, dislikes and preferences to give us a more accurate sense of the client’s style and preferred fit. Once we understand the client’s needs, the second step is to peruse our fabric swatches.
Because we offer a virtually endless variety of fabrics, we attempt to focus on the specific requirements that we derive from the consultation to make it a concise, more enjoyable experience. Once fabrics are selected, style and design are discussed to determine the finer details of the garments. Details and options such as linings, trim, buttons, pockets and finishings are selected to complete the necessary pattern requirements.
2. Meaasurements
Following the design process, complete anatomical measurements are taken, height and weight are determined and we compile as much information as possible to be translated into a unique individual pattern.
For this step it is recommended to have the proper shoes with the appropriate heals (especially women’s preferred heels). We also prefer to measure our clients in a dress pant as opposed to jean .
3. Tailoring
Following the design process, complete anatomical measurements are taken, height and weight are
determined and we compile as much information as possible to be translated into a unique individual pattern. For this step it is recommended to have the proper shoes with the appropriate heals (especially women’s preferred heels). We also prefer to measure our clients in a dress pant as opposed to jeans.
For women ordering pants, we cannot take accurate rise measurements if the client is wearing a skirt. It is, therefore, requested that our female clients bring a pair of pants to be measure in, which will allow us to take the proper measurements that we require.
4. Final Fitting
Once the garment has completed the manufacturing process it is then shipped out to us. We will confirm shipping details and place a courtesy call to each client to set an appointment for a final fitting. A fitting is then conducted to determine the accuracy of the construction and any necessary adjustments or modifications are marked for alterations.
Most alterations are completed locally, so the turnaround time is, typically, within one week. A follow up appointment is then set for the delivery of the order.
5. Delivery
After we conclude that all of the alterations were completed successfully and the garment meets all of the client’s expectations the garments are ready for delivery. We will have everything laid out with a selection of accessories to compliment the looks that we are trying to achieve, and give our client some additional options.
At this point most clients are complete and can leave with their new clothing. However, if any additional alterations are necessary, they are satisfied in a timely manner and the process is repeated until the work is perfect.
