USA ? Australia ? What countries do you ship to ? How long does it take to arrive ? 9) What are the Construction Specifications for your shirts? 10) Where and How do I view the various fabrics? Dormieul is famous for its ´smooth as silk´ finish of wool suitings and have a lustre to it that exudes High Class Taste and Refinement. A person who wears Dormieul stands out as someone who knows what to wear and how to wear it. You can learn more about fabrics by visiting our Glossary pages or you can do quick Cloth searches using one or more criteria to help pick specific cloth you might be interested in, based on the weight, patterns, content and other requirements. [Top] Another difference is that while suit jackets are matched with exactly the same colour as the pants, sports jackets can be any colour and usually with a pattern such as hounds tooth or herringbone or checks and if solids, they are usually very light or very dark colours..never ´in between´ colours. Sports jackets should never be in stripes or prince of Wales checks as these are suitings. Blazers are always solids and only in dark blue, navy, black, burgundy, dark green, red and white or ivory. Blazers must always have gold or silver buttons while sports jackets should have matching buttons as should suit jackets. The cut of the three are pretty much similar though sports jackets can never be double breasted. Blazers can be single or double breasteds and suits too can be single or double breasteds. Vents are the openings on the back of the jackets. Some call it slits. Classic traditional styles usually have one vent..center vent.. at the back of the jacket. Very traditional British or 50s and 60s style of jackets have two vents..side vents .. at the back of the jacket and more modern ´Italian cut´ slim styles have no vents at the back of the jacket in which case the hips tend to be a bit on the snug side as well. [Top] These fabrics are excellent for traveling and as very cost effective suits. The exclusive fabrics are all imported with minimal synthetic blends and are generally lighter in weight. They have a softer drape and fall. These fabrics are richer in look and feel. The Deluxe fabrics are all imported from countries like Italy, France and the U.K. and are all pure wools, cashmeres etc unless otherwise specified. These materials do not contain any synthetic fibers. Should budgetary constraints not be an issue, we would recommend the more value added Exclusive or Deluxe fabrics for all your suiting needs and the Classic collections for your shirts as the best option. It is not unusual though for first time clients to order from our classic collections to confirm the fit and cut of our products before investing in higher end selections. The fabrics in the HERITAGE GOLD COLLECTIONS are sourced from Top End suppliers such as Dormieul, Holland and Sherry, Reda, Barberis and others in Europe. The associated costs of having the fabric delivered to us for custom making to specifications provided as well as the fabrics being produced by high end millers, makes this line of fabric more expensive than the DELUXE. The DELUXE COLLECTIONS itself is a very high end fabric range comparable to the best there is, but since it is available here in Thailand easily, and also stocked in our inventory, economies of scale allow custom clothing in these materials to be produced more cost effectively. For the sake of comparison, an equivalent suit to our single breasted two piece from the classic collections is available in the USA for around USD 600 off the rack! An equivalent of our single breasted two piece suit from the exclusive collections is retailing in the USA for around USD 750+ and a suit equivalent to our deluxe collection single breasted suit retails for USD 950 in the USA. Fabrics from our HERITAGE GOLD collections are rarely available as off the rack ready to wear suits and are generally found at very high end custom tailors such as those on Saville Row, England. The suits in our HERRITAGE GOLD collection if found off the rack ready to wear from a designer label generally retails for USD 1500 + and if made to measure by a custom tailor in the UK, would generally go for USD 2500+ or GBP 1800+ [Top] Starching shirts and other cotton or cotton/polyester garments is common.The basic function of starch is to stiffen the garment. Incidental use is to prevent stains from penetrating the fiber. However, starch leaves minute crystals in the fiber and can often wear the garment out faster than a garment that has not been starched. The choice is then appearance versus longer life for your garment [Top] For Resellers, depending on availability, swatch sets if ordered, may take longer since if new sets are being prepared, the labour intensive project might take longer than the week to ten days standard turnaround time to complete. Exact schedules for swatch sets to resellers can only be confirmed on a case by case basis. If fabric swatches or our Digital Catalogue are ordered, the swatches or catalogue are prepared in around three working days and shipped according to the indicated preference when submitting the swatch/catalogue requisition request. If swatches or the catalogue are shipped by courier, delivery is in three to four working days. If however, the swatches or catalogue are ordered to be shipped by airmail, it can take four to six weeks for delivery. Regretfully no tracking facility is available to track swatch request orders that are airmailed. Couriered swatches or catalogues can be traced via the MyAccounts section as one would track custom clothing orders. We however to send out constant updates to the progress of the orders and as soon as orders are processed, an expected dispatch date is indicated via email. To track packages please use the tracking facility provided in the MyAccounts section in the current order details page. In regards to the Estimated Dispatch Date, the estimated dispatch date is displayed in the MyAccounts section where your order is listed. This is the date we believe your order will be shipped depending on the current volumes of work we have on hand. However, as noted, this is but an estimated date and not an absolute date. On most instances, we are able to ship orders much before the estimated dispatch date displayed, however there can be instances when the order dispatch is delayed due to delays in order completion. Such delays can be due to fabric availability issues, delays in payment processing for the order, fabric delivery delay from our suppliers or as is the case in most instances, due to extremely specific, complicated or detailed features of the order or parts of the order. Delay can be expected if there are features in the garment that go beyond the usual details in our custom garments or if there are styling features that need additional work to incorporate. Delays can also occur if incomplete or incomprehensive information has been received in regards to an order or if there has been delays in responses received from you if we have asked for any clarifications or explanations in regards to the order. We do try our best and succeed in 99% of the time to ship orders within the estimated dispatch date specified for your order. Should an order be needed before the estimated dispatch date, please feel free to Contact us with the order number(s) and the required delivery date of the order so that we can upgrade your order to priority processing for a small fee as noted in the Priority Processing information in the FAQ sections of our site. Please note that delay of maximum of a week counted from the estimated dispatch date may be experienced during the month of April due to the annual Thai New Year Holidays. [Top] In a Peak lapel, the lapel rises up and beyond the collar tip so as to create a peak of sorts. Separation between the collar and the lapel in this case is less than 1 degree due to the fact that the lapel rises upwards and by default therefore runs parallel to the outer rim of the collar. The tip therefore points towards the shoulders. To view these features, type in the words - Notch Lapel - or - Peak Lapel in the keyword field of our Style Search page and styles bearing these features will be displayed for your perusal. [Top] To obtain a price for any garment, please visit one of our collections or catalogues as displayed in the main menu and select the custom piece of clothing you wish to have made to measure. The prices in accordance are displayed alongside each type of garment. The workmanship or construction of the custom clothing remains the same through out all the collections. You can also visit our Compare Prices page to review a full price list as compared to comparable garments elsewhere in the world and on the internet. You can also find great discounts in our Sales categories and in our Special Offers page. [Top] The fabrics are mostly sourced from Thailand, UK, France and Italy. Luxury shirting fabrics are found at the DELUXE COLLECTIONS and HERITAGE GOLD collections. The mills by themselves may not be quite as well known however the quality of fabric is at least as good if not better. The thread count of our shirt fabrics are all 2 ply and above. For the construction of our shirts, we use smooth cotton poly threads that are extra strong non shrink as well as we use high tensile strength silk woven threads. The stitch count on our shirts are 120 and above. all seams double stitched, elasticated collar buttons, collars and front rim stitched, extra generous shoulder seams..overall our quality of workmanship is comparable to the best there is. Our collars are double layer top fused collars and include removable or permanent collar stays depending on the style of collar. The shirt cuffs are double layered top fused, barrel cuffs are convertible with expandable button stance for ease of wearing a watch or bracelet. At the back of the shirt, we incorporate single side back pleats, double side back pleats, box pleats, inverted box pleats and plain no pleat yoke. Box pleats though are the normal standard of production. Our seams are double stitched packed seams so no interlock stitches are visible when rolling up the sleeves. We use imitation mother of pearl buttons as standard, Real mother of pearl buttons can be used upon request. Coloured shirts have either imitation horn buttons or coloured buttons that match. Button holes are hand sewen with interlocked machine stitches. [Top]
