A Spanish made-to-measure brand that orders every month
A made-to-measure menswear brand in Spain has placed more than 260 orders with Centi Sartoria since June 2026, with orders in every month since the first. About 70% of them are jackets and about a quarter are shirts; the rest are trousers. Each order is one garment cut to one customer's measurements, on a one-piece minimum, with 14 days in production.
We make for tailor shops, made-to-measure stores and clothing brands only. We do not take orders from private individuals.

What the brand orders
- Jackets: about 70% of orders.
- Shirts: about a quarter.
- Trousers: about 5%, plus the odd waistcoat.
Every order is a single garment for a single end customer. There is no stock and no size run: the brand sells a fitting, sends the measurements and the cloth choice, and we cut that one piece.
How steady the volume is
The brand has ordered in every calendar month since it started. Its quietest month was about two dozen orders and its busiest about 80, without any change to price, minimum or production time. Half of its orders shipped within about two weeks of being confirmed.
How the orders are placed
Each order is its own record on our ordering system: the customer's measurements, the cloth and the style options, with its status visible from confirmation to shipment. For this account our sales team keys the orders in from what the brand sends, so the brand's own staff never had to learn the system. Accounts that prefer to enter orders themselves can do so on the same system.
Why a brand like this outsources
This is the general case for the business type, not a quote from the customer. A made-to-measure brand sells fittings, cloth and advice. A workroom of its own means fixed wages and a floor that sits idle in a slow month. On a one-piece minimum the brand pays per garment, and the factory carries the swing between a 25-order month and an 80-order month.
Questions
Is this a real customer?
Yes. The figures are read from our ordering system: more than 260 orders since June 2026, in every month since the first. We keep the name private, as we do for every account.
Can a smaller brand order the same way?
Yes. The minimum is one piece, so a brand can start with a single jacket and order one garment per customer from then on, on the same terms as this account.
How long does production take?
14 days in production from confirmed measurements and cloth, shipping extra. For this account half of all orders shipped within about two weeks of confirmation.
