A tailor who measures you rather than guessing
Alterations while you wait, shirts and suits made to your measurements, uniforms by the hundred, and curtains measured at your window. Six machines, four tailors, and a separate ladies section.
Four things we do differently
A lady tailor for ladies
The ladies section has its own room, its own door and its own tailor. Measurements for ladies are taken by a lady, always, and never in the main shop.
Alterations the same day
A hem, a waist or a zip brought in before three o'clock is ready by eight, and we will tell you honestly when it cannot be.
A written measurement card
Your measurements are kept on a card with your name on it, so the second shirt fits like the first without another fitting.
Your cloth or ours
Bring your own material and pay for the making only. We will tell you before we cut if there is not enough of it.
Six kinds of work, one counter
From a fifty rufiyaa trouser hem to three hundred school shirts, and the curtains for a whole flat.
Alterations and repairs
Hems, waists, zips, sleeves and linings, priced at the counter and usually the same day.
Made to measure shirts and trousers
A shirt for 650 rufiyaa with your own cloth or 1,100 with ours, ready in five days.
Suits and jackets
A two piece suit from 3,800 rufiyaa, three weeks and two fittings, in a weight that works here.
School and company uniforms
Runs of fifty and up, from a sample set and a size run, with a per garment price that holds.
Curtains, blinds and cushions
Measured at your window, made in the shop, and hung by us. From 180 rufiyaa a running foot of track.
The ladies section
Its own room, its own door and its own tailor. Measurements for ladies are taken by a lady, always.
The shop in numbers
Work we have done
Three hundred school shirts before the term started, a staff uniform for a shop of forty, and the curtains for a nine flat building.
Three hundred school shirts before the term started
A size run measured from the children rather than from a list of names, cut in five sizes and delivered in nine days.
Staff uniforms for a shop of forty
Forty fitted blouses and shirts in a fabric chosen for a shop with the door open all day.
Curtains for a nine flat building
Fifty two windows measured after the flooring went down, made in the shop and hung over four days.
What customers say
The ladies room has its own door and its own tailor, and nobody has ever taken my measurements anywhere else. That is the only reason I stopped ordering clothes from abroad.
They made two sample blouses in two fabrics and let my staff wear them for an afternoon before I chose. The one I had picked myself would have been unwearable by eleven in the morning.
They refused to measure my curtains from the drawings and made me wait three weeks for the flooring. Three flats finished eleven millimetres high, so they were right and I was wrong.
What people ask at the counter
Can I bring my own cloth?
Yes, and most of our customers do. You pay for the making only, which is roughly half the price of the same garment in our cloth.
Bring a little more than you think you need: two and a quarter metres for a long sleeved shirt, three and a half for trousers, and add half a metre if the cloth has a pattern that has to match across a seam. We measure what you bring before we cut and tell you if it is short.
How much is an alteration?
A trouser hem is 50 rufiyaa, a waist taken in is 100, a full zip is 120 and shirt sleeves shortened are 80. Jackets and dresses are priced when we see them, at the counter, before anything is unpicked.
There is no charge for being told an alteration is not possible, and we would rather tell you that than take the garment.
Do you take measurements for ladies?
In the ladies section only, by the lady tailor, in the fitting room with the door closed. Never in the main shop and never by anybody else, including when we are busy.
If you would rather not come in, send measurements taken from a garment that already fits you, laid flat with a tape in the photograph. Many of our regular customers order this way.
Bring the garment, or bring the measurements
Ten minutes at the counter settles most questions, and the price for an alteration is given before anything is cut.
Tell us what needs doing
For uniforms and curtains, send the quantity and we will come back with a price. For alterations it is quicker to come in.
