White Pilot Shirts is credited with inventing the made-to-measure service for high-end pilotwear. With Private Tailoring, we have taken the creation of custom clothing to new heights, offering a level of service, a range of options and a quality of product that is unparalleled.
Providing a level of customer care, attention to detail and personalisation usually only afforded to bespoke commissions, beautiful garments are made to measure at prices more readily associated with ready-to-wear.
The ultimate goal of Private Tailoring is the creation of a customer’s dream wear, designed to his specifications and built around his personal measurements and preferences. The widest range of styles, fits, cloths and ultimately looks are available, leading to an almost infinite number of possibilities.
The service begins with a customer either visiting our website or dropping by personally. They may have specific ideas of what they are looking for; others may prefer more suggestion and inspiration. Our close-knit team will employ its years of experience, along with a wide range of sample garments, imagery, cloth books and other tools to create a picture of the dream wear. Our system driven programmed website does this flawlessly aswell.
Not that shirts are the only option. Everything from uniform shirts, trousers, suits, leather wear to a large variety of accessories are within the bounds of possibility. Private Tailoring provides a truly unique service and level of flexibility.
Once a garment’s style has been selected, the cloth is chosen from one of the hundreds of fabrics on offer. As ever, our system will gently guide his customer through the process and will be a consistent source of information and expertise.
Next, a wide variety of measurements are taken across the customer’s entire body to create a superb custom fit. Alongwith it, notes on his build, stance and posture are also recored. If the customer has a personal preference, for instance if he favours a slightly more streamlined or closer garment – or indeed the opposite – this is taken into account and the designs edited. After a few short weeks the customer's commissioned garment is delivered thru courier.
Fabric
Pilot shirts are broadly categorised into 2 types, cotton blended and 100% cotton.
Blended cotton
cotton blended fabric is a composition of 50% cotton & 50% polyester. This unique blend gives equal properties of both the material to the shirt, ie. cotton makes it comfortable towear by allowing the body to breath, where as poly resists creasing and makes it easy to iron.
A closer look of the fabric will reveal tiny openings all over the surface. These 'air pockets' facilitate ventilation and helps in keeping the body cool.
Unlike other uniform makers, our fabric is thin, light weight but dense, thus much more softer and comfortable to use. Keeping in mind the high usage, it is specially created to have a longer lasting whiteness. The shirt brightens further wash after wash and gives a distinct glow under natural light.
100% cotton
Egyptian cotton is considered to be of the best quality. Its long and fluffy staples makes the fabric smooth and soft. 2 fold (2 ply) cotton fabrics are made from 2 yarns twisted into 1. This twist creates tension in the yarn which makes the fabric wrinkle resistant.
Quality of cotton fabric differs by its thickness which is defined by the type of yarn. For instance 80's yarn is thicker than 120's thus 2 fold 80's fabric is thicker/heavier than 120's. Finer/thinner the fabric, denser is its weave, making it more pricey.
These'Pin point oxford' weave cotton is available in a large variety from 2 fold 80's upto 2 fold 170's. Its easy to care and comfy to wear.
Pilot trousers are made of matt weave poly viscose fabric which is most suitable for long hours of use. The colour is fast and wrinkles dont form easily. Colours available are black, navy and dark grey.
