Fit Revision Rounds: Agree in Writing Before the Sample Is Cut

Shi Yuan Suit Factory asks overseas custom shops and MTM boutiques to agree fit-revision expectations in writing before sample cut. Sample lead time is 7–14 days after measurements and fabric are confirmed; production is 14–21 days after confirmation. MTM from 1; bulk OEM from 50. Unlimited free remakes are not a published policy.

Why agree before cut

Most first-sample disputes are not “factory ignored the brief”—they are unspoken round counts. If one partner expects three free remakes and the quote assumed one sample plus quoted revisions, timelines and fees break. Write the rule before scissors move.

What to put in writing

On WhatsApp or email, confirm:

  • Measurement source (your form / client / size block)

  • Fit intent notes (e.g., closer chest, longer sleeve, unfinished hem)

  • Construction: fused / half canvas / full canvas

  • How many revision rounds are included in the sample fee (if any)

  • How extra rounds will be quoted

  • Who has authority to seal the sample for your shop

Suggested pre-cut message

Hi Shi Yuan — before sample cut
Measurements file: [attached]
Fit intent notes: […]
Construction: [fused/half/full]
Revision rounds included in sample fee: [0 / 1 / as quoted]
Extra rounds: quote before cut
Seal authority: [name]

After the sample arrives

  1. Review on your process (client / house model / fit model)

  2. Send a single consolidated comment list—not three conflicting chats

  3. Either seal in writing or request a quoted revision

  4. Do not start bulk-from-50 confirmation until seal is clear

Factory QC after seal references the sealed sample and agreed construction. Third-party inspection is on request (quoted separately).

What “revision” covers vs new work

Typical revision: adjust length, suppress ease, remake from notes on the same model and cloth plan.

Often new quote territory: new silhouette, new construction tier, new cloth with different behavior, or a full pattern restart after a sealed sample. Ask; do not assume.

Sample fee credit reminder

Sample fee credit toward first bulk applies only when agreed in writing. Revision fees, if any, should be called out in the same written thread.

Lead-time impact

Each revision cycle needs confirmation and may need added days beyond the original 7–14 sample window. Rush outside standard windows—if available—must be quoted; we do not invent rush tariffs here.

Who this protects

  • Overseas custom tailor shops with multi-partner feedback

  • MTM boutiques protecting client appointments

  • Private-label teams soft-launching before bulk 50
