Distance Tailoring
When you can't get to us and we can't make it to you , you can use our distance tailoring service.
Distance tailoring
Distance tailoring is an option if you are unable to visit our high street location in Lairg, our Inverness tailoring studio, or we can't come to your home to measure you.
There are a couple of options for this service. Firstly it can be done by you sending us garments that fit you well for us to measure, or require small adjustments. Or we can send you out a measuring sheet to complete.
Distance tailoring can be a time consuming process to get your garment right. Ideally we like you to come to us and try on our sizing garments. This way we can see you in them and make recommendations, distance tailoring takes that option away. Because of this there may be a lot of emails and phone calls back and forth.
Due to the extra time it inevitably takes, there will be a surcharge for this service.
Also, as you are providing the measurements, this option is at your own risk, we can't be held responsible if the garment doesn't fit correctly.
We are more than happy to help if you have any queries.

Our Made To Measure Tailoring Service Explained
People can get confused as to what the made to measure service is.
The way we work is that we have an existing pattern for all the garments we offer. From here we get you to try them on, allowing you to get a feel for the garment itself, while allowing us as the tailors to have a look and decide what needs changing. We will give our advice and listen to what you want in order to achieve the best possible result.
We don't just provide the standard made to measure service i.e. a simple length adjustment. These existing patterns we work from can be altered to suit each person, whether it be more or less at the shoulders, chest, waist, thighs, the list goes on. We will simply do whatever is required for the best possible fit.
You will only have one appointment at the beginning. There is no need for a fitting during the making process, therefore the next point of contact is when the garments are ready.
This is how we differ from bespoke tailoring - with bespoke, a pattern has to be made up for you, which then requires you to have fittings during the making process. This in turn takes up more of your time and also means that you end up paying far beyond the cost of our made to measure tailoring service, for essentially a very similar garment.
After 30 years we have perfected the way we operate for the best possible result. We provide more than your standard made to measure service, as we can offer changes in the fitting and details of all garments. This makes us fall somewhere in-between made to measure and bespoke tailoring, while still managing to offer our service at the same price as made to measure.
These are the surcharge prices for distance tailoring by garment.
