The field is getting more crowded with one-stop web sites that allow you to create your own “custom” clothing.
One of the first large retailers to test the custom order waters was Lands’ End, and they are still doing individual orders under Lands’ End Custom. However, Lands’ End has been slow to add selection, and has an ordering system based more on guesses than on actual measurements. The upside to Lands’ End is their reputation and customer service.
Now, the U.S. is seeing companies based in Hong Kong and China offering items made to order via the Internet. Some have been around for a while and even send salesmen to the States and Europe to do the actual measurements.
Today say hello to UrbanTailor.com. Another newcomer from Asia, this one has a fairly robust web site and seems to be headed in the right direction.
There are several drawbacks, most notably the selection only being limited to jackets for the time being. Their web site promises more selection by the end of this year.
UrbanTailor’s Bandana Jacket:
Despite talk of a recession in America, sales of custom apparel products are up. This site will hopefully catch the wave and ride it to more selection – and profits.
