If you go to a " custom maker" the kind of guy who does the work
What should your input be?
Let him do is work and put in your preferences
After the first fitting you will know who you are dealing with.
You will be able to evaluate the work relashionship and see if you can get along
because of some miscommunication I turn away some clients
You have to establish a relatonship
I am making shirts an never require a deposit
Tailors ,more investment I do not know
If you are willing to work with me
I am open for business

Good advice Freddy. Exactly how it worked out when I got my shirts from you. I need to come in again some time soon. I need some more shirts.

I understand this is not for the online customers
If you find a guy who is doing the work and you know is price structure,
Let him do is work and go from there.
Me as a maker I never like to see a well fitting shirt
" if it fits well go back there"
The first time you go to an artisan let him do his craft
Do not bring your previous problems

Most of the outfits that tell you to bring a well fiting garment
are just not sure of what they are doing.
