Tuxedo Briefs: What to Lock Before the Sample Clock Starts
A tuxedo sample clock starts when five extra fields are locked on top of measurements: lapel style, lapel facing (satin or grosgrain), button finish, trouser outseam stripe and cloth shade. Black tie dress is defined by satin or grosgrain lapels with matching trouser stripes, so leaving those open delays the lock. At Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Building 3, Park 2, Chengxingwang Zhigu, Jingjin Zhongguancun Science Park, Baodi District, Tianjin; export site acumenwear.com; Est. 2009; WhatsApp +65 8013 8838), dual track is MTM from 1 · bulk from 50.

Does a tuxedo get a different clock from a suit?
No. After the lock, sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days apply as for any suit. Changing facing or stripe after sealing is a re-lock. Production days are not delivery days.
