[b]Hi Friends,

Sincerely, I think this thread is coming a little bit late. I should've opened it years ago but nevertheless, like a popular saying, better late than never.

We all know that Aba is unique for her creativity and innovation especially in the area of fashion e.g. clothing, footwear, bags etc. It is also widely believed that Aba has the best assembly of tailors in West Africa. Little wonder traders from far and near troop in their thousands to this ancient city to make purchases from the promising markets e.g. Ariaria Int'l Market, Cemetery Market, Ngwa Road Market, Aba Shopping Centre and others.

As an original Nwa-Aba (born & bred), I often smile when I visit boutiques here in Lagos and find some of my brothers' production (shoes & clothes alike) being marketed as foreign brands and the prices put at alarming rates. I know how people admire my shirts whenever I 'rock' them to the office, church or other social functions. They always ask which foreign brand I patronize. You should see the look on their faces when I tell them the shirts are Aba-made from one of my uncles or friends and the prices relatively cheaper.

A few months ago (before Nairaland Tsunami) precisely in April, a thread about shirts from a popular online fashion store was posted to the frontpage. The prices of these shirts shook my heart; some as high as 12k. Shirts I am sure may not be as good and fashionable as those from Enyimba City (Aba).

I expressed my concerns and even offered to link people to a tailor friend of mine. Surprisingly, two nairalanders contacted me. One from Ilorin and the other from Ekiti. They placed their orders (5 shirts per person) and got it delivered to them even without meeting me in person. All communications was done over the phone and Whatsapp messenger.

Since then I have been quite busy with office work and thus could not take further orders. But lately, my job seems to be in auto-pilot and so gives me flexibility. I've therefore decided to open this thread for ANYONE who would like to order shirts from Aba TO BE SEWN for him/her.[/b]

Sunglow: What about ladies wear?

donigspain: Tailors here in Lagos charge #5,000 per shirt. I confirmed this mid-september when a colleague requested his tailor sew him some shirts. Sadly, the shirts came out not giving him a perfect fit especially the elbow, armpit and rib cage areas.
He has done some amendments on them twice already.

I did supplied to boutiques when I was still a corper and they resold for much higher prices. If you resell at #4,000 that means a profit of #500 per shirt.

Better to sell more quantities at lower profit margin than hiking your prices without selling much.
