A Spanish chain of tailoring shops, one garment at a time

A chain of tailoring shops in Spain has placed more than 110 made-to-measure orders with Centi Sartoria since mid-2026. About three quarters are jackets; waistcoats and trousers are about one in ten each, with a few shirts. Its monthly volume grew from a handful of orders in its first weeks to more than 40 in October, 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 chain orders

  • Jackets: about three quarters of orders.
  • Waistcoats: about one in ten.
  • Trousers: about one in ten.
  • Shirts: a few.

Each order is one garment for one customer, cut to that customer's measurements. The shops do not hold made-to-measure stock.

How the volume grew

The chain started with a handful of orders in its first weeks, then placed between 10 and 30 a month from July to September and more than 40 in October. Terms did not change as volume rose: the same one-piece minimum and the same 14 days in production.

How the orders are placed

Orders go into our ordering system, one record per garment, with the measurements, cloth and options. For this account our sales team keys in nearly all orders from what the shops send. A chain that wants each shop to enter its own orders can give each shop a login on the same system.

Why a chain outsources

This is the general case for the business type, not a quote from the customer. A chain needs the same cut and finish in every shop, whoever took the measurements. Sending every shop's orders to one factory, against one set of base patterns, gives it that without a workroom behind each counter.

Questions

Is this a real customer?

Yes. The figures are read from our ordering system: more than 110 orders since mid-2026. We keep the name private, as we do for every account.

Can several shops order on one account?

Yes. Orders from several shops can sit under one account on the ordering system, each order a separate garment for a separate customer.

Is there a minimum per shop or per month?

No. The minimum is one piece per order, with no monthly commitment.

The terms every account orders on

One-piece minimum. 14 days in production from confirmed measurements and cloth, shipping extra. Ex works Shanghai: CMT from USD 100, full make from USD 167, half canvas from USD 197 per two-piece suit. Cloth from 33 mills and cloth merchants, 26 of them in Europe.
