Richard: Tailoring Is A Worldwide Occupation.

"I am sorry we are late." The first time I saw Richard H D Craig at the Hangzhou Tower, I saw him walking up and down to us all the way, apologizing without fail. Obviously, the first British man who came to Hangzhou and was underestimated by traffic was blocked on the road, but this did not seem to affect his good opinion of the city.

"Hangzhou is really beautiful, and people are friendly, which is totally different from those of friends in the UK." Richard, as executive director, accompanied Saville, chairman of the old Henry Poole of British street, A.H.Cundey, to visit the Hangzhou Tower dragon clothing to customize men's clothing. "There are two good things about Hangzhou traffic. One is that the traffic lights have countdown, and the pupils have yellow cap. They are not in Britain."

The high level of Henry Poole comes to Hangzhou every year, because China's custom market is too important. Correspondingly, it is foreign countries, and young people are less willing to do tailoring. This occupation once worried Saville street. But this time, Richard brings good news: "after the financial crisis, many young people came to school, and they were willing to spend at least 8 years to become a mature teacher. Moreover, tailoring is a worldwide occupation. The world is short of the cutting-edge craftsmanship of this industry, and exquisite workmanship is not obsolete.

This time, Richard accompanied the master of Heng Long to have lunch together, closed together, and stood at the counter in the Hangzhou Tower store. "The Chinese men's wear market is very large, but a lot of them are in formal clothes and dresses, and there are too few options." Richard said a man should have these high-quality single products, "a suit, a shirt, a tie, and a vest, and a waistband, a small scarf and leather shoes." Although it is done in formal dress, Richard highly admires the mix of men and women in Europe and America, and suits and jeans and sneakers. "Of course, this seemingly random mix and match must ensure quality, the style of jeans and suits should be adjusted, and those shoes must be of good quality to withstand the whole body." Richard said.

After the financial crisis, the consumption of the British people changed. Before the suit was done, there were three or four sets, with various styles or grades, but now generally only a high-end set. "Therefore, customization will inevitably draw distance from garments, and it will inevitably go to the top end, and the quality is service." Richard talked about an American guest coming to Saville street to make clothes. In order to ensure that the "flying trapeze" could have time to try on clothes, the shop master was flying to the United States with the clothes and shells to fly to the United States. This made the guests very satisfied, and did 5 sets.
