A customer of mine's shirts were finished on the bench today. He had gone for a diverse range of fabrics which really reflected the changing tempo of Australian business. He was a builder, but not the worn hands type, the modern builder who spent more time pricing up tenders and analysing gross margins on a computer than pouring concrete over a footing. He came to me with the dilemma of not knowing what he wanted this time around. We found a mix of denim (left) for client meetings on site, a Carlo Riva fabric for more impressive business lunches, a check in light blue for similar settings and a white herringbone Canclini Villa D'Este fabric for a Friday night cocktail party. Then we repaired his old shirts and made sure the try-on shirt he paid for fit him almost as well as the shirts he ordered. Is he happy? I don't know yet, I am waiting on his text.
In the meantime, if you want to create something similar, consider booking an appointment at our Studio to run your hands over our shirting bolts and fabric swatch books and then tell us what are your current needs - we will most likely be able to help you. And, if you are ordering enough, we are always open to a negotiation on the price. Prices start from $275.00 a shirt.
