Sizing
Every size drafted, not graded up from a small.
Grading a size 4 pattern out to a 5XL scales every measurement at once, which is why so many large sizes fit like a tent with a neck hole. Nine blocks costs more and it is the reason to buy from a place with a cutting room.

Nine sizes, all drafted
XS to 5XL, each one drafted on its own block rather than graded up from a small. Grading a size 4 pattern out to a 5XL is why so many large sizes fit like a tent with a neck hole.

Two lengths on trousers
Regular and long, at no extra cost, because hemming is the alteration everybody needs and nobody enjoys paying for.
- 03
Made-to-measure on any of the nine
A hundred and forty dollars on top, three to four weeks. Two fittings in the shop, or one set of measurements by post with a written guide.

Free alterations, first year
Sleeves, hems, waist. If a garment does not fit after a year of wear, bring it in — bodies change and that is a normal thing for a shop to deal with.

Swatches by post
Free, all nine fabrics, no obligation. It is a better way to decide than a photograph on a screen and it costs us four dollars.
Ask for swatches before anything else
All nine fabrics, free, by post, no obligation. Cloth weight is the thing a photograph cannot tell you and it is the thing that decides whether you will actually wear a garment.
