Treat retained measurements as one part of the repeat-order record, not as automatic approval to reproduce the last garment. Confirm that the record reflects the accepted result rather than the initial intake.
Request a repeat-order pack containing:
- The accepted pattern or order identifier.
- Date of the latest fit assessment.
- A record of local or workshop alterations.
- The approved jacket and trouser style details.
- The new cloth reference and construction specification.
- Any change in your preferences or body since the previous order.
- The repeat order's fitting and correction arrangements.
Proper Cloth explicitly encourages customers to record tailoring changes so saved sizes can be updated. That is a concrete example of the record-maintenance step buyers should ask any repeat supplier to explain. (propercloth.com)
Our recommendation is to obtain confirmation before a repeat order that the cutter has reviewed the relevant changes. If you are changing silhouette, construction or the type of garment, ask whether another fitting is warranted rather than assuming the previous approval covers it.
Also ask what records are retained and whether any copy is available to you. Do not assume that payment for a garment includes ownership or transfer of the tailor's pattern.
