I don't know for sure, but I suspect that they save CAD files for each order and print them out as necessary.
I'd love to have the ability of selecting a pre-existing and confirmed well fitting pattern via a drop down menu when selecting fabrics. For instance I think I have my casual chino pattern nailed down and am currently working with you on the pattern for dress slacks and shirts. It would be great if I could select the basic measurements or maybe even the style of the trousers or shirts this way since I think many of us will reorder the same product in a different variation.
Example: I am ordering a dugdale flannel and I want it to fit like a previously ordered flannel trouser, I simply click "dress slacks" and add the changes to the requirements box.
Essentially I'd like to have a way of organising my patterns virtually. Not necessarily as visible patterns but in a way that I could select an ordered item and set it as 'keep measurements pattern under "chino - casual" or "shirt-business"'. For now I handle this by strenuously typing everything out "use measurement from order #4400 and add cuffs etc." which I assume not only takes quite some time for me but also the guy that has to make sense of my gibberish and translate it.
I really enjoy seeing how much your operation has improved and I am looking forward to the changes you have planned for 2014.
Not at all, tailors just like engineers have created paper based sketches since decades, right?
My question was aiming at the fact that from my experience a lot of people are not familiar with and thus unable to properly read CAD sketches.
From your reply I take your tailors are trained to easily execute CAD sketches into paper patterns, correct?
I've done this for my last order which is due to arrive in the next 3 days or so will give feedback on accuracy.You can still do that, but, through a human interface. Some customers do ask us to create different patterns for each product/sub-product type and name them accordingly. They then refer to the patterns by name and we use the one requested.
Having all this automated and seamless would be nice though. Some of these features will be available to customers as part of the new website. The integration at the studio is something we need to think a bit more about.
