Measuring lecturers and staff at HCMC University of Technology

The challenge

HCMC University of Technology needed uniforms for its lecturers and staff: elegant, correct, carrying the university's identity and suited to a technical academic setting. With teaching schedules to keep, staff could not easily travel to a showroom, so measuring had to happen on campus.

Requirements

• —An elegant, correct uniform for both men and women lecturers.
• —Reflecting the university's identity and suited to a technical university.
• —Measuring on campus, around the university's timetable.
• —A full set of measurements for every individual, recorded by name.

Solution

• ✦A measuring point set up in the university's reception lounge: two Mon Amie tailors working in parallel, a colleague recording from the armchair beside them.
• ✦Every person measured at collar, shoulder, sleeve, chest, waist and trouser length, women lecturers included.
• ✦Staff came as they were dressed for work; each spent only a few minutes before returning to their day.
• ✦Measurements kept on file per person for tailoring and later top-up orders, with 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

• ✦Lecturers and staff measured on campus, with no trip to a showroom.
• ✦Each person's full measurements recorded by name during the session.
• ✦Figures on file, ready for the order and for any later additions.
