SINGLE-NEEDLE STITCHING
A more costly and time-consuming method of machine sewing that uses one needle to sew one side of a garment at a time,providing a consistent, careful stitch. The faster, less expensive method is to sew with double-needle stitching, working both sides of the garment at once, with a greater likelihood of puckering.

We have thousands of satisfied customers reviews from all over the world, encompassing bankers to diplomats and business clientele to mainstream consumers.

The Internet has evolved as a very effective medium for engaging our clients. On-line shopping is a practical and efficient way for busy people to buy custom-made clothing without sacrificing quality or personal service. Shopping retail stores to find the right combination of quality, style, and value is increasingly time consuming, frustrating, and inefficient.

We meticulously assemble our suits in a staged fashion with experienced craftsmen working on collars, sleeves, buttons, and the jacket body.
