Dates
The week, and the one fixed point
-
Fitting, completed
Measurements above taken in the showroom. 35 minutes.
-
Alterations complete
In house. You are messaged when the garment is ready rather than told to hope.
-
Collection
Try it on in the showroom before you leave. This is the last chance to change anything.
-
The event
Nothing required from you.
-
Return
Showroom, or the tracked label in the garment bag.
-
Fitted to the next customer
Which is why Monday is not movable by a day.
Care
What to do and not do with it
- Do not clean it. Cleaning is included and a domestic clean on wool and mohair does more harm than a stain
- Hang it on the shaped hanger supplied, not on a wire one
- A spill is not a disaster. Blot, do not rub, and tell us on return
- The studs and links are counted out and counted back. They are the thing people lose
- Keep the garment bag. The return label is inside it
| On return | Charge |
|---|---|
| Normal wear, any stain, cleaning needed | Nothing. It is included |
| Missing stud or link | USD 15 each |
| Missing cummerbund or bow tie | USD 30 |
| Damage beyond repair, burn or tear | At cost, up to USD 640 replacement |
| Returned after 19:00 Monday | USD 40 per day |
| Not returned within 14 days | Full replacement value, USD 640 |
