Quick answer: Shi Yuan Suit Factory makes a covert coat from a brief that names the cloth, the collar, the stitching lines at cuffs and hem, and the pockets before the sample is cut. The order path: the shop fills the covert coat fields, sends overcoat measurements over the clothing worn beneath, and Shi Yuan locks the details on 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 your covert coat brief on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
What does a tailor shop write on a covert coat brief before the sample?
A covert coat brief names the cloth and colour, the collar in self cloth or velvet, the number of stitching lines at cuffs and hem, the centre vent and the pockets. Shi Yuan Suit Factory cuts the sample from those fields, for MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 per style.
Shi Yuan Suit Factory builds the brief from the garment's defining details. Wikipedia's covert coat entry describes a late-19th-century short topcoat for hunting and riding: single-breasted with notched lapels, a centre vent, flap pockets and four, sometimes five, lines of stitching at the cuffs and hem, a ticket pocket as an option, and a collar in covert cloth or velvet; the traditional colours run from greenish-tan to fawn to tan-green, navy variants are common, and the coat is the shorter, informal alternative to the knee-length Chesterfield. Each of those details is a field the shop decides before the 7–14-day sample.
What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?
- MTM — from 1 piece: one client at a time; overcoat measurements are taken over the jacket the client will wear beneath.
- Bulk — from 50 per style: one style in a size run; stitching lines, collar and pocket details are fixed on the 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. Overcoat cloth is heavier than suit cloth, and the cloth is fixed before the sample clock starts.

Which covert coat details does Shi Yuan check on the sample?

- Bulk from 50 per style repeats the approved stitching count and collar, so every coat in the run matches the sealed sample.
How do MTM and bulk covert coats differ?
- MTM from 1 cuts each covert coat to one client's overcoat measurements, taken over the jacket worn beneath.
- Bulk from 50 per style grades one sealed pattern across a size run; production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked.
