DINGTAI is a very famous bespoke tailoring house founded in Beijing.
DINGTAI seldom targeted suit enthusiasts, but even W.W.Chan Shanghai can’t match the turnover.
LIU Fuhan, the founder of DINGTAI, does a lot of sharing in Red. His sharing is the most grounded in this circle I have ever seen, and he can say everything he knows. Why can you do this? Because of self-confidence, because he knows that DINGTAI doesn’t need to rely on information difference to make money.
DINGTAI opened its Shanghai shop on No.8 Hengshan Road (which hosted Sartorial Shanghai previously) with a very interesting concept, it calls Fabric Shop.
It sells fabrics and of course the service of making suits.
The source of DINGTAI’s fabric is different from the foreign deadstock material we are familiar with. There are several sources, two of which are also related to the later processing.
DINGTAI has its own handmade suit workshop, with nearly 60 masters and a large number of foreign orders, so there are bound to be some large materials, as well as some custom-made materials that can’t be found in the material book.
Then there are some zero-cut materials, which are the materials that you need to make your clothes after you go to the custom-made suit shop and choose from the material book. Sometimes the workshop will encounter fabrics that customers make mistakes in placing orders. The customer must have no choice but to replace the new and correct material, but it is impossible to return the cut material to the fabric supplier, so he had to ask Ding Tai to handle it.
Finally, Mr. Li, the patron of DINGTAI, is the head of the original fabric department of Loro Piana. He has collected many extremely special fabrics of Loro Piana, which can also be purchased in fabric stores.
We talk about the quality, how about the price?
First of all, there is a Loro Piana area, and some very high-quality fabrics are only more than 600 RMB per meter, not to mention many special good things that you can’t find by looking through the materials.
Then, the fabrics of other brands are directly divided into several grades according to the price, from 300 to 400 and 500 per meter. I was shocked when I heard these prices!
Think about it, we usually buy tailings, whether they are all online, not to mention whether there are any side roads, not to get started, just to look at pictures, it can be said that the quality of fabrics is impossible to judge. A friend showed me the cashmere blended fabric he bought called Loro Piana. I knew it was fake as soon as I got started, and the touch was too bad.
Now, at this price, you can get in touch with the real thing. Anyway, it is an advantage.
Then we talk about making.
DINGTAI bespoke starts from 12,800 RMB. DINGTAI also has MTO service that is you buy the fabrics, and you try the samples in store. The sleeves are adjusted. The price is only 4,680 RMB. This is enough for people who has normal body shape.
Price without quality is nothing. DINGTAI is the earliest shop and workshop in Italy (Naples), and LIU Fuhan himself owns almost all the works of famous Italian tailors.
Therefore, the soft and elegant taste of DINGTAI is definitely there, and then because of all the handwork, the comfort is also extremely in place.
You can go to RED to see how LIU Fuhan wearing DINGTAI.
I don’t need to say anything about the price of all the tailors that accept CMT if they are all handmade.
Therefore, DINGTAI Fabric Shop worth visiting.
There are two bonus.
One is that there are shirt fabrics here, all imported, asks for 100 RMB per meter.
In addition, if you register as a member, all the fabrics and making will be 20% off. If you add this discount, the price/performance ratio will be even more bursting.
