Hi, Where can i find a tailor available to produce shirts at quantities like this: 5pcs per size (S-XL), per colour (3 colors), per design. I have 3 designs in mind, thus that would be a total of 180 pieces of shirts.

I can provide my own fabrics and buttons.

However, please do note that I am extremely particular about the quality of the workmanship, in particular the fit and the stitching.

Which tailor in Singapore can offer me services like this with a reasonable or low cost?

Thanks!

You got to target those tailors with their own factories because these are too large a quantity for the smaller tailor shops, some of which send to the factories anyway.

There is very little upside in this for them because they are not charging for materials but can only charge you for labour and I am sure you would want to bargain with them on that, since it would be very obvious what is their charges for labour.

So, low cost and you probably want a quick turn around time, so a bit difficult for both parties, I would say.

Jangofett - Thanks for the advice, do you happen to know any of these factories? Or any other suggestions for my production levels such as wholesale seamstresses?

Any help no matter how big or small will be vastly appreciated!

Er, not wholesale seamstresses. Dont think Singapore has such industries anymore.
I heard of people, probably ladies doing work for tailors.
Yup, the hundreds and thousands you pay the tailors , doesnt actually mean they actually do the sewing and cutting, you know.

I got a contact you can try. I have many stuff done by him and he does have a factory for shirts. Not T shirts mind you but dress shirts and he does have his shop and does do work for other tailor shops too. Will pm you the number.
