Shirt fitting and measuring for Thu Duc Water Supply

The challenge

A water utility's staff split their time between the office and the field, so the uniform shirt has to look proper yet move comfortably. Rather than measuring blind and waiting for the result, staff needed to feel the actual cut first so the choice was right from the start.

Requirements

• —Sky-blue shirts matched across the company.
• —Staff able to try the real cut before sign-off.
• —Measuring at headquarters, to the company's schedule.
• —Measurements kept for reorders.

Solution

• ✦Sky-blue sample shirts hung on a rail for every employee to try.
• ✦From the nearest size tried, the tailor adjusted and measured each person's shoulders to refine the fit.
• ✦A recorder sat alongside so each set of figures was written down immediately.
• ✦Sample approved before production; measurements filed against employee records; three years of free alterations.

Process

Following Mon Amie's standard six steps: consultation → design & cloth → sample approval → individual measuring → production → delivery & three-year warranty. See the process →

Outcome

• ✦Staff judged the cut on their own body before sign-off, not from a size chart.
• ✦Each person with a nearest size and their own refinements recorded.
• ✦Figures on file for top-up orders.
