Measurements
There are number of ways of interpreting the word ‘bespoke’ when it comes to tailoring. However, common to them all is the understanding that excellence of fit and choice (cloth & specification) are the objective. Interpreting the clients need is almost the tailors’ greatest skill, indeed there is a common saying in tailoring that ‘a tailor needs to fit the head, not the body’. The cornerstone of successful tailoring however is the elegant base block and sophistication of the garment engineering that result in an elegant and comfortable fit. We work with body measurements, body figurations and sizing garments in order to create a fit with customers fitting desires (indeed: ‘to fit the head’). Decode will train your staff to do the right thing to get the optimal fitting results.
Logistics
With UK based in-house garment design, technical and CAD pattern management, we keep full control over the look/cut, quality and timing of all garments. Next to our production unit in the UK we’ve set up an offshore joint venture with a tailoring company that is steeped in centuries of traditional British tailoring skill.
The Lambton production management software (TOPS) is fully integrated into all aspects of the process giving real time and total control over every aspect from cloth/trim/unique customer patterns into the facility, via cutting, sewing and pressing to finished garments shipped out. Our garment technologists and production/quality management are permanently on site. Once the garments have arrived in Leeds they will undergo repress and final QC. They will be carefully packed in hanging garment boxes and shipped to you with DHL.
We give all retailers in Europe the support they need. Most of the logistics of cloths shipping to the production facilities, monitoring the productions times and the shipment of the clothes to the retailers we do from Utrecht, The Netherlands. And yes we do speak Dutch, German and some French.
Ordering system
TOPS (Tailors Order Process System) order platform was developed in 2006, a world first in tailoring innovation. It was designed as a production management tool and to transfer individual garment styles and measurements from the retailer/tailor to Lambton via the internet. It’s a flexible software platform with intuitive navigation and data entry, offering an unparalleled range of garments and styles.
