Quick answer: Shi Yuan Suit Factory makes barathea dinner suits for tailor shops once the brief names the cloth, colour and facing, locked on the sample before MTM from 1 or bulk from 50. The order path: the shop names the barathea cloth or asks Shi Yuan for available options, picks black or midnight blue, names the facing, and the cloth is confirmed in writing before the 7–14-day sample. Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) takes MTM from 1 and bulk from 50 per style for overseas tailor shops, MTM and private-label brands — send the cloth, colour and facing you want on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
Is barathea a good cloth for a dinner suit, and what should a tailor shop specify?
Worsted barathea is a common dinner-jacket cloth with a fine pebbled surface; the shop specifies the cloth, colour and facing on the brief. Shi Yuan Suit Factory locks all three on the sealed sample: sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked.
Shi Yuan Suit Factory uses the cloth's published description so the brief and the sample match. Wikipedia's Barathea page describes barathea as a soft fabric with a broken twill weft rib, giving a lightly pebbled or ribbed surface, developed for mourning clothes in the 1840s; worsted barathea is often used for evening coats such as dress coats, dinner jackets and military uniforms, in black and midnight blue. A shop ordering MTM from 1 can show the client the pebbled face on the sample.
What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?
- MTM — from 1 piece: one client's dinner suit, cut from that client's measurement sheet; cloth availability is confirmed in writing per order.
- Bulk — from 50 per style: one dinner-suit style in a size run for hire fleets and brands, cut against one sealed sample.
How long do the sample and production take at Shi Yuan?
Shi Yuan Suit Factory quotes sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. Event dates are planned backwards from both figures plus shipping.
