ALTERATIONS AND ISSUES

CAN I CHANGE MY OPTIONS?

Once the fabric has been cut the options cannot be changed. Each item of clothing is cut in a way that it cannot be changed. For example: if pockets are cut sloped they cannot be changed to straight without recutting the fabric But we can always customize all details and turn it into a finest suit,jacket,trousers,etc

CAN MY CLOTHING BE ALTERED?

We understand that sometimes clients will take their clothing home and then change their minds about fit, or specific details. Obviously we cannot foresee this for you. Before you leave our shop you will be asked to acknowledge and sign off that we have done as promised and delivered what you have requested.

However, if this does happen you can bring your clothing back to us (or send it) and we will do our best to rectify whatever you’d like changed. However, there may be costs associated with this (such as you shipping it back to us and us having to ship it back to you, fabrics needing to be recut and so on.) Every case is different and we will be reasonable in our approach to finding solutions to any issues that arise. For example if you want your waistband taken in or your trousers hemmed, there will be no charge, but if you want your jacket pockets changed from slanted to straight, this involves recutting both front sections of your jacket and will be charged according to the prices in the link below.

After 15 days all alterations will be done according to the way you prefer. Shipping charges will also be the responsibility of the client. Please do not send any garments back to us without contacting us first.

BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT

DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENT?

No,There is no minuimun order requirement here in Raja’s, You can always come by and bring a friend along with you, have a look gain some idea of how it works and feel free to ask us questions you have in your mind and then decide the quantity of cloths and amount you want to invest.

HOW LONG DOES A JACKET TAKE TO MAKE?

In order to ensure a perfect fit we require 4 full working days with 2 or 3 fittings. This means 3 to 4 full days after recording your measurements and choosing all of your options. We strive to achieve a perfect fit for all of our clients. If you don’t have 4 days in Bangkok, we can post the garments to you if they are not completed when you leave. The absolute minimum requirement is 3 days; 1 day to choose your fabric and custom choices with 2 more days for fittings, and for the client in urgent we can provide our emergency service,We do not recommend this though, as there is no guarantee that the garment will have a perfect fit.

HOW LONG DOES A SHIRT OR TROUSERS TAKE TO MAKE?

Shirts take approximately 2 to 3 days to produce depending on the volume ordered. (This can change depending on various factors) This means 2 full days after recording your measurements and choosing all of your options.

We generally make one shirt first and test the fit the following day. Any alterations are recorded, the pattern is then altered and used to make any remaining shirts. This is not a guaranteed timing but a general example.

WILL MY SCHEDULE ALLOW ME TO GET A SUIT MADE?

Many of our clients travel around Thailand using Bangkok as a base. We will make appointments that fit around your schedule. You will require a total of 4 full working days in Bangkok. An ideal schedule would look like this: You would come in on Monday and choose your fabrics, your options, and we would take your measurements. Then we need about 24 hours to work on the garments and get them ready for a first fitting. The first fitting would be the next night, Tuesday evening. We would then need another 24 hours to work on the garments again. Your second fitting would be Wednesday evening. Ideally, we would do 1 more fitting on Thursday, as this is the best option to ensure a great fit. Otherwise, if you did not have any more time, we could work on the garments and ship them to you once completed.

GARMENT CARE GUIDE

COTTON & LINEN TROUSERS

Wash with care to avoid shrinkage and wear. We recommend:

  • Cold wash (30°C)
  • Hang dry
  • Do not tumble dry
  • When ironing, use a thin cloth between the iron and garment
JACKETS

Jackets made from natural materials help the body ventilate and don’t need cleaning very often. To

extend the life of your jacket:

  • Dry clean only
  • Clean no more than four times per year
  • If creased, press professionally, do not steam
  • Spot clean with water and mild detergent
  • The natural fibers of your suit need time to rest
  • Avoid wearing more than two or three times per week
  • After wearing, hang up in a ventilated space to ensure freshness and reduce wrinkling
SHIRTS

Our fabrics are pre-shrunk, however cotton garments may shrink up to 3%. For best practice, we recommend:

  • Remove collar stays, button up, and wash inside out
  • Cold wash (30°C)
  • Hang dry
  • Do not tumble dry
  • For easier ironing, iron while damp
WOOL TROUSERS

Wool is antimicrobial and naturally stays fresh. We recommend:

  • Dry clean only
  • Clean once per month if worn frequently
  • After wearing, hang up in a ventilated space to ensure freshness and reduce wrinkling
  • For your favorite suits, we recommend buying a second pair of trousers, as they typically get more wear than jackets

OUR FITTING PROCESS

DO YOU KEEP MY MEASUREMENTS?

Your initial visit is what will take the longest. Depending on how decisive you are with choosing fabrics, styles and options it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. An average initial visit takes about 45 minutes.

Fittings usually take much less time as it is just yourself and your tailor discussing the fit of the garment and making any alterations. This usually takes about 20 minutes.

PRODUCTS

DO YOU MAKE DRESSES?

Yes, we do make dresses and woman suits, if you have any specific design or picture you and share with us, we will make exact copy of it.

DO YOU OFFER FULL CANVASED JACKETS?

No, our standard construction is a half canvas jacket, where the lapels, collar and half chest are canvassed with a quality canvassing. We have found this to be the best blend of both quality and cost effectiveness. Fully canvassed jackets are very labour intensive and cannot be rushed. They take approximately 2 weeks to complete and the client needs to be available the whole time for fittings.

Unfortunately this does not fit with the schedules of the vast majority of our clients.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?

When you come to your appointment you will be shown through our fabric ranges and guided through the design options by our experienced tailors

We take your exact measurements. Previous clients will have a chance to update their sizing and new customers will have a new unique pattern created for them

Please bring your current best fitting garments (don’t wear them), so we can get a size reference – this is essential for a good fit

We will take payment by card (charged in USD) The session takes about 1.5 hrs

Our tailors will get to work immediately and we will deliver your tailor made clothes within 3-4weeks maximum but tend to be faster than that

Your measurements and designs are saved to your account, so with just a few clicks you’ll be able to

order perfectly fitted clothes whenever you want.

Please bring both a shirt and suit should you wish to get measured for both (even if you don’t plan to buy them now). They don’t have to be perfect as we’ll work with you to improve the fit. We will use these to get a more precise reference than pure body measurements, which based on our experience, will allow us to tailor great fitting garments without any follow-up fittings.

WHAT IS YOUR ALTERATIONS POLICY?

Since fittings are not available during the trunk shows, we base sizing on a current garment the client owns and make adjustments to that as needed. In essence that means that the suit or shirt the client brings in functions as a fitting stage garment, allowing us to make tweaks from a good starting point. This, in our experience, allows us to achieve a great fit without fittings. We have a very high success rate and in the unlikely case that there are any issues, we typically offer a credit for local alterations for minor tweaks or in extreme cases remake the entire garment, in order to make sure that every client is happy.

Note: We have a 1-2 cm allowance for body and sleeve width (including back width, front width and shoulder width, a 1cm allowance for sleeve length and a 0.5cm allowance for collars and cuffs.
