FAQ's

  • You can, but you will not be able to change the block of any order prior to (change date to date of launch). These will all continue to use the Standard Block.

How does this affect my custom models?

  • Your custom models will not be affected and will be available for use with the Tailored Block.

***Reminder: Please review your customer's chest overages and coat alterations to be sure that they are up to desired specs when trying Tailored Block for the first time.***

How does this affect my incomplete orders?

  • Incomplete orders should not be affected by this change. If you wish to add additional garments to the order, you will have the option to choose Standard or Tailored Block.

Can I order Tailored Block try-ons?

  • Yes and the standard 40% discount will apply. If a majority of your customers have previously been put in trim, it may be helpful to order Tailored Block try-ons in your most popular sizes.

What would happen if I chose Tailored Block for an existing client without changing any of his measurements?

  • We strongly advise against this. To avoid a painted on fit, please review your client's existing coat alterations to make sure you're not doubling up on trim aspects.
