Copy-and-send supplier request
I am considering one pilot business suit before any repeat order. Please confirm the contracting business, total price, exact cloth and construction, who measures/cuts/makes/corrects, and whether the quoted service includes an individual pattern and intermediate fittings. Please map the appointments to my dates and explain what happens if further fitting is needed after departure. Please also specify alteration, remake and refund terms; who pays US assessment and return-delivery costs; and whether any third-party alteration requires your approval. No additional garments should be cut without my separate written authorization.
The next step is not necessarily a deposit. It is a documented decision about how you will obtain—and, if necessary, correct—one acceptable suit.
