Uniforms for FDI companies: working with a tailoring partner
Uniforms for foreign-invested companies: what to prepare when working with a tailoring partner in Vietnam. Mon Amie shares its profile and six steps.
When ordering uniforms for a foreign-invested company, first agree three things with your tailoring partner: the group's brand guide, who approves the sample, and the working schedule. Then expect a transparent process, a real sample, steady progress reports and a warranty. This article sets out those points, with facts about Mon Amie so you can check them against your own criteria.
What foreign-invested companies usually need from a tailoring partner
With expatriate managers and multi-level internal processes, these companies typically care about:
- Faithful brand colours: colour, logo and placement following the brand guide.
- A clear process: steps and milestones that can be presented to management.
- A physical sample for approval, instead of a verbal description or an on-screen picture.
- Reliable timing, to match hiring plans, openings or group reviews.
- Long-term consistency: new hires wear the same pattern months later.
- Warranty and alterations when staff builds change or adjustments are needed.

The six steps from a foreign-invested company's side
- Survey and consultation at your premises, ending with a proposal and price range. Bring the brand guide and an expected headcount.
- Design and fabrics: three options in your brand colours with real swatches, so colours can be compared by eye.
- Approved sample: production starts only after your company signs off, so name a contact person and let each level review the sample.
- Individual measuring at your office, with figures stored under employee IDs for later orders.
- Production with quality checks at three stages (cutting, assembly, finishing) and weekly progress updates.
- Delivery, fitting and adjustment on site; new hires are measured individually and made to the approved sample.
Working with an international team
- Use real samples instead of descriptions. Colours on screen differ from colours on cloth, so swatches and a sample garment help every party agree quickly.
- Agree a working language and a contact person at the start; tell us your needs when you get in touch and Mon Amie will confirm how communication can work.
- Schedule measuring sensibly. Our on-site tailoring follows your schedule, including outside office hours; managers and expatriate specialists are measured in the same round, to their own real measurements.
- Prepare internal lists, such as staff by department, so measuring can be split into sessions.
- Funnel feedback through one contact and send it to Mon Amie in a single round, avoiding overlapping changes between levels.
- Record decisions in writing, such as colour, logo position and quantity, so both sides can check them in later orders.
What it costs
Real prices depend on fabric, style and quantity; a quotation comes with the proposal after the survey. Starting prices are: men's business suits 3,000,000 VND (minimum 5 sets), women's business suits 1,500,000 VND (5 sets), waistcoat 600,000 VND (5), men's shirt 600,000 VND (20), women's shirt 480,000 VND (20), trousers and skirts 600,000 VND (20), T-shirts and polos 150,000 VND (30), accessories 150,000 VND (20).
Pitfalls to avoid
- Fixing quantities before you have a staff list and real measurements, which leads to remakes.
- Skipping the physical sample and approving from pictures only.
- Having no contact person, so feedback crawls between levels.
- Forgetting new hires, so each later order drifts from the original pattern.
