Before you approve a sample suit, look at the cloth next to the lining, undercollar melton, buttons and thread under two light sources — daylight and the light in your shop — because two materials can match under one light and drift apart under another, and the sealed sample is what bulk and later MTM orders are checked against. Wikipedia's metamerism entry) calls this illuminant metameric failure, notes that metameric matches are especially common in near-neutral and dark colours — the colours most suits are cut in — and lists three types met in textile dyeing: illuminant, observer and field-size metamerism.

Which parts of the sample should you compare under both lights?
- Jacket and trousers: Both cut from the same cloth, side by side — Look for one panel reading warmer or cooler
- Lining: Against the cloth at the front edge and vent — Shows when the jacket opens
- Undercollar melton: Against the collar cloth — Visible when the collar is turned up
- Buttons and thread: Against the cloth at the cuff and front — Thread colour shows at buttonholes
How should you record the light check?
- Take one photo of each pairing in daylight and one under your shop light, from the same angle.
- Note which light, and whether the pair matched, next to each photo.
- Send the set on the order thread with your approval or comments, so the record sits with the sample.
What happens if a trim drifts under one light?
Ask for the trim to be changed before the sample is sealed: a change after the seal needs written confirmation. The sample (7–14 days) starts when measurements, cloth and construction are locked; production (14–21 days) follows sample approval. Production days are not delivery days.
