Unlabeled mixes do not start the clock.
Body vs garment-flat — which label do you send?
| Label | What it is | Clock effect |
|---|---|---|
| Body | Tape / form on the person | Usable only when method is named |
| Garment-flat | Measures on finished piece laid flat | Usable only when method is named |
| Mixed unlabeled | Body + flat mixed without note | Clock does not start |
| Lock complete | Method + cloth + construction agreed | Sample 7–14 starts; later production 14–21 |
Body: tape / form on the person — usable only when method is named
Garment-flat: measures on finished piece laid flat — usable only when method is named
Mixed unlabeled: clock does not start
Lock complete: method + cloth + construction → sample 7–14; later production 14–21 · production ≠ delivery
What numbers attach after the method is locked?
Dual track: MTM from 1 · bulk from 50. Sample 7–14 days · production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth, and construction lock. Production window ≠ delivery date. We serve overseas custom tailor shops, MTM boutiques, and private-label brands — not C-end retail.

FAQ
Which measurement method starts Shi Yuan’s sample clock?
Neither by itself. The sample clock (7–14 days) starts only after the measurement method is labeled (body or garment-flat), cloth is locked, and construction is locked.
What is the difference between body and garment-flat?
Body measurements are taken on the person; garment-flat measurements are taken on a finished garment laid flat. Mixing them without a label delays the clock.
What happens after the sample is sealed?
Production runs 14–21 days after lock for later units. Production window is not the delivery date. Dual track: MTM from 1 · bulk from 50.
