Quick answer: For a vegan suit, Shi Yuan Suit Factory needs every component named on the MTM brief — cloth, interlining, undercollar, buttons, thread and labels — and confirms each in writing before the 7–14-day sample. The order path: the shop names an animal-free cloth and trims, Shi Yuan states the material of each component on WhatsApp, and the shop approves that list before cutting. 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 cloth, trims and the component list on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
Can a made-to-measure suit be made fully vegan, and what has to change?
Yes, if every component is named and confirmed animal-free in writing — not just the cloth, but the interlining, undercollar, buttons, thread and labels. Shi Yuan Suit Factory takes such orders MTM from 1 and confirms the component list before the 7–14-day sample.
Shi Yuan Suit Factory treats a vegan suit as a component list, not a cloth choice. Wikipedia's Veganism page says ethical veganism excludes animal use in clothing and fashion, for example leather, wool and fur, and the tagua palm page notes that vegetable ivory — also traded as corozo — is used for buttons as a substitute for animal ivory. A suit has several parts that are traditionally animal-derived, so each needs a named alternative before MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 per style is cut.
What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?
- MTM — from 1 piece: one client at a time; the component list is confirmed per order and kept with that client's measurement sheet.
- Bulk — from 50 per style: one style in a size run; the confirmed component list is locked on the sealed sample and repeated across all 50 or more pieces.
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. Sourcing a named animal-free cloth can move the start of the clock; that is confirmed before the sample.
Which suit components does a vegan MTM brief have to name?
- Shell cloth: Wool, or a named animal-free cloth? — Named by the shop; see three cloth routes
- Interlining / canvas: Horsehair canvas, or animal-free canvas or fusing? — Confirmed in writing per order; see canvas and pads
- Undercollar: Wool melton, or an animal-free felt? — Named on the brief; see undercollar melton
- Lining: Silk, or viscose / cupro / polyester? — Named on the brief; see lining fibres
- Buttons: Horn, or corozo / resin? — Named on the brief and shown on the sample
- Thread: Silk buttonhole twist, or synthetic thread? — Confirmed in writing per order
- Labels and patches: Any leather patch or leather-look label? — Brand-supplied; animal-free material stated on the spec
- Shoulder pads: Wool wadding, or synthetic? — Confirmed in writing per order
What should the sealed sample show on a vegan suit?
- Each component in the agreed material, with the written component list attached to the 7–14-day sample.
- Buttons, undercollar and labels photographed close up, so the same trims carry into bulk from 50 per style.
- A cloth label whose fibre line matches the named cloth; see composition labels; any change after the sample is approved in writing on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
What does Shi Yuan not claim on a vegan suit?
- Shi Yuan Suit Factory does not issue a vegan certificate; Shi Yuan confirms the material of each component in writing, MTM from 1 or bulk from 50.
- Any vegan label or certification mark on the garment is the brand's decision and the brand's claim, confirmed on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
- Construction choice still applies: fused, half canvas or full canvas, confirmed per order, with production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked.
"Name every component — cloth, interlining, undercollar, lining, buttons, thread and labels — on the brief to WhatsApp +65 8013 8838, and Shi Yuan confirms the list in writing: MTM from 1, sample 7–14 days, production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked." — Shi Yuan Suit Factory (statement built from published factory policy)
