A follow-up message is the point at which both sides restate and agree every important detail before the making begins. After your consultation, Mon Amie sends you a written confirmation of the cloth chosen, the silhouette, the schedule and any special requests, so that everything is clear, consistent and committed to. It sounds administrative, yet it is the single step that prevents the most misunderstanding in the whole journey.
What a follow-up message covers in tailoring
A proper confirmation at Mon Amie covers four groups of detail:
- Agreement: a review of every element of the order so both sides are entirely of one mind.
- Schedule: confirmation of appointment times, the timeline and the delivery date.
- Choices settled: cloth, silhouette, options and any special requests, all fixed.
- Quality commitment: the standard of making and level of finishing confirmed.
Unlike an ordinary courtesy message, a follow-up in tailoring is a matter of record: it is the document both house and client refer back to when the garment is finished.
The value of certainty
Why is a confirmation message worth so much? Because it delivers four things:
- Clarity: every detail confirmed, so misunderstanding and error are removed.
- Peace of mind: you know exactly what has been committed to, with nothing left to guess.
- Professionalism: it shows a disciplined, dependable way of working.
- Time saved: fewer alterations, no slipped deadlines, no unexpected cost.
In this trade, most cases of "the suit isn't what I wanted" come not from a lack of skill but from two people reading the same request differently — how wide the lapel, one vent or two, a straight trouser leg or a gentle taper. A written confirmation closes every one of those grey areas.
Why the confirmation step matters
- It puts both sides on the same expectations and the same goal.
- It ensures every request is recorded and nothing is overlooked.
- It gives production and service an accurate plan to work from.
- It keeps the process smooth and on schedule.
- It creates a professional, trustworthy experience.
- It protects the interests of both the client and the house.
A clear confirmation always saves a great deal of misunderstanding later — a principle Mon Amie applies to every order, from a full Kevinlli suit at VND 4.8 million to commissions in Canonico, Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil or Scabal cloth.
The five-step confirmation process
- Review the details: check the order — cloth, silhouette, quantity and special requests.
- Confirm the choices: you look over and confirm the final selections.
- Send it in writing: confirmation by message or email, so it is on record and easy to follow.
- Fix the schedule: fitting dates, the timeline and the expected delivery day.
- Complete the confirmation: with your agreement, Mon Amie begins work.
Where confirmations appear
Across a commission you will meet a confirmation message at five touchpoints:
- Order confirmation: garment details, quantity, accessories and individual requests.
- Fitting confirmation: dates and times, the number of fittings and who will look after you.
- Delivery confirmation: the expected date and how you will receive the garment.
- Online service confirmation: what was advised, samples sent, fees and payment method.
- Special-request confirmation: monogramming, lining, bespoke pockets or other personal touches.
From your side, only a few small habits are needed: read carefully before confirming, ask straight away if anything is unclear or needs changing, keep the confirmation for reference, and tell us early if timing or requirements change.
A word from Mon Amie's artisans
An experienced tailor knows that once the shears go into the cloth there is no going back, so everything must be settled before the first cut. To us, a confirmation message is what a technical drawing is to a builder: with it, every stitch lands exactly where it was promised. Confirmation today is satisfaction tomorrow — clear today, flawless tomorrow.
Over time, a smooth confirmation process lays the ground for a lasting relationship: clients return because they trust the house, and Mon Amie keeps to the day and to the word — supported by our alteration guarantee and measurements kept on file for life.
