Henry Bailey'S First Store In The Mainland Will Be Located In Ningbo

Several blonde and aged tailors became stars.

I saw that they set up a cutting platform at the scene, demonstrating every production process of tailored suits. They were all very serious, sewing every piece of cloth as if they were making a fine handicraft.

These seamen came from England. They showed their skills in the hometown of Hong Bang tailors. They brought not only exquisite craftsmanship but also British dress culture.

Custom made garments for British royalty

Several British tailors at the scene were from Britain for the first time in Ningbo Fashion Festival.

Henry Bailey is an international senior custom clothing brand, the official tailoring company appointed by the British Foreign Office.

Founded in 1875, the company's senior technicians have made many tailored costumes for European royalty and famous stars, including celebrities of the royal family Philip, movie star Gary Grant and so on.

Henry Baili can customize clothing including high-end suits, coats, uniforms, dresses, court costumes, hunting suits, etc., and also provides dress etiquette consulting service.

The Henry Bailey company brought 12 senior technicians, and the workbench and some samples of garments were specially pported from London to Ningbo to show the skills of the British top tailored garments.

John Joan, 67, who shows the tailoring skills at the scene, has been studying tailoring since he was 9 years old. He is best at men's suits.

"What is the most difficult and time consuming process to sew suits?" "collar and sleeves."

John Jean replied, in order to make the collar of the suit look more appropriate, when sewing the collar to the clothes, it needs to be stitched and ironed until the best result is achieved.

Sewing sleeves should also be very careful. The proper connection of shoulders and sleeves is the key to the overall shape of suits.

Manual suits start at 30 thousand, the most expensive 110 thousand.

These foreign tailors, please.

"Our suits are arts and crafts, which are more durable than western suits and can be worn for decades.

Henry Bailey director Barry said proudly.

Barry said that the tailor should manually sew a suit for 6 weeks, during which the customer tries to wear it several times.

A suit of Western-style clothes should be stitched with more than 6000 needles. Buttons are made of horn or pearl shell. The buttonholes are also finished by hand. The thread of lock buttonholes is made of British silk thread. A skilled technician locks a button hole for at least 15 minutes.

Careful observation of hand stitched buttonholes shows that every tiny stitch is very consistent. There are no defects on both sides. The fineness is amazing.

"There is another feature of our tailored suit, that is, the stitches of each part are left with 3 inches of cloth. If customers get fat after some time, we can also modify the size of suits for customers."

Barry said.

Volume measurement requires 26 dimensions.

There are many customised suits in Ningbo market. What's the difference between the whole British custom service?

"Before we measure clothes for our customers, we will carefully ask customers about their occupations, habits, occasions, what things they like to take with us every day. We will also carefully observe the posture and posture of customers, even walking posture, all of which are designed to suit customers' clothing best."

Barry introduced that Henry Baili's suit and style were quite special, for example, trousers had thousands of styles to choose from, and the tops often changed in the pocket. The size of the bags can be done according to the actual size of the customers. Pen pens can be designed, and mobile phones, bags, IPAD bags and so on.

Henry Bailey's tailor has to collect data from 26 dimensions of the customer in the volume measurement system, and even measure the thickness of the calf belly to ensure the pants fit.

In cutting, Henry Bailey emphasizes the combination and humanization, whether it is a big belly customer or a shoulder high or low customer, can have the most appropriate design.

The buttons and cufflinks on the ordinary suit collar are often false buttonholes. The top grade custom suits are really buttonholes. The back of the collar is also specially designed to facilitate the customers to wear flowers or emblem when attending the dinner party.

What does it feel like to wear such a high priced custom made suit? Wang Biao, executive director of the UK's Cci Capital Ltd, is a Ningbo native. Yesterday, he wore a suit made by Henry Bailey. He said: "wearing a special feeling is very comfortable, no sense of restraint in ordinary suits, and some details of tailored suits are very fine like cuffs."

Inland

Looking at the exquisite workmanship displayed by the British tailor, two customers custom-made their suits yesterday morning.

"Now it will cost more than 10 thousand yuan to buy a decent suit, and the price of a customized suit is 30 thousand yuan, which is acceptable. The most important thing is to wear fit."

A business owner who was preparing to make a custom suit said.

It is understood that the Henry Bailey company plans to open the first Chinese style full custom made Western-style clothes shop in mainland China in Ningbo. The fastest store will open in the second half of next year and then expand to Shanghai, Beijing and other big cities.

Why did Henry Bailey open the first store in Ningbo? "I once came to Ningbo for the 6 time to learn that Ningbo is the birthplace of Hong Bang tailors, and chose the first company in Ningbo. One is the consumption ability of the Ningbo people, and the two is the strong technical talent base for Ningbo."

Mr. Barry said that there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to work in the hand sewing industry in the UK, and now the average age of the technicians is 60 years old.

After they have settled in Ningbo, they will exchange skills with Ningbo red gang tailoring technicians. They will also choose some Ningbo tailors with good handwork to train in the UK to help companies expand the Chinese market.

"A good custom tailor is a work of art and requires a tailor to finish it carefully. If tailors spend too much time away from home, they will affect their working mood!" Mr. Barry laughed.
