In the olden days, only the rich can afford to have made to measure suits.  Tailors would come to their clients, mostly royalty, with their measuring tapes.  Rich textile materials were then given to them to prepare the suit in the design suggested and approved.  After a week or two, the fitting is made prior to the final suit delivery.

With the passing of the years, ready-made clothes were introduced to the market.  Its purpose is to reach out to those who cannot afford made to measure suits or clothing.  The market niche also proved to be bigger compared to the few rich and illustrious people.

The advancement of technology gave birth to online businesses.  This further threatened the elite clothing industry.  Thanks to the proactive commercial approach, this created the online tailors.  Not only have they fashioned a modern trend, but they also widened their potential market as compared to the clientele of their ancestors.In reality, online tailors still observe the medieval practice of meeting their clients to get the measurements.

The benefits of engaging the services of online tailors are:

1.       Perfect size – This is a guarantee when dealing with online tailors.  A client is given approximately two months to avail of free revisions.  This happen when there is a change in the client’s body measurements between the time the measurement was taken and the actual delivery date.  This feature is not available for off-the-rack clothing bought at the malls and department stores.

2.      Unique and quality style -Clothes made are based on the choice of the client as far as colour, design, fabric excellence and fit is concerned.  Once again, retailed clothes do not offer this.  It is a fact that such clothes are made by the dozen.  And let us be honest, haven’t you experienced how difficult it is to find the right clothes at a department store rack?

3.      Time, cost and effort saver – This benefit is largely due to the wonders of scientific development.  Online shopping definitely save time, effort and even cost in travel and purchasing clothes.  Even prior to the purchase, the budget is already considered.  And when you purchase online, you save on incidental expenses of going to the mall.  This includes dining out and time with friends met accidentally.

4.      Comfort – Comfort is the result of a good fit of good quality styled clothes.  The combination of all the factors mentioned above boil down to this simple word.  In everything we purchase, this is the big “C” we all search for.  What good is a stylish shirt if you can’t raise both your arms without ripping it?  What good is a pair of pants if you can’t eat much without the waist bursting?

The clothing industry had truly evolved through the years.  Yet, despite the changes, they had remained loyal and steadfast to their trade.  So, for those who haven’t tried this traditional way of acquiring clothes, now is the best time to try it!

1.       The Classic Briefcase
