That is what you must do! Never be honest with your tailor.

Originalsly:
Don't you have a policy to sell after X number of days if the customer doesn't pick up? The problem with most tailors...even if they know they don't have the time they will still accept the job...if they say no is like losing money. I stopped using tailors a longgg time ago..sooo much disappointments that I noticed a trend...most tailors that disappoint always work in a position where they can see when anyone is coming so they have time to either grab your cloth and start workig on it...or to disappear. Tailors...almost all are cut from the same cloth...cloth of disappointment. If you had no choice..and was badly disappointed...take them to court...9 out of 10 judges will send them to prison..not because of your evidence....but because of the judge's

Bro, I cant sell customers' cloth. I could sell the already made if you made deposit and you dont balance up within one month, and your deposit refunded to u. I dont want trouble

bitter experiences with them!

obyikye:
Someone like me will give you my own time of collection, if it is not okay by you then you move to the next tailor. Anyway some tailo are greedy and must collect all the work without considering time factor.

Trousers without pockets. I dropped my phone in my pocket and what I got was "Garbage in garbage out"

It's a common knowledge that most tailors in Nigeria often disappoint their customers.

I have been disappointed severally by different tailors. There was a case I nearly cried. LOL.

Anyway just recently, my tailor of about 6 years just disappointed me today. I gave him a material to make for me about 2 weeks ago. I told him we are to wear it as uniform for an occasion.

Actually, we are doing Youth Weekend in my church. All these while I haven't been participating actively in Youth programmes in my church. But this time around, I decided to be serious and take active part in this youth weekend, of course like 2 sisters in the church have been encouraging me to. I attended youth meetings in preparation for the D-day. I rehearsed with them. I learnt the songs we were supposed to sing this Sunday, the D-day. I was assigned to take the bible reading, and I accepted. Only for the tailor to disappoint me.

So I will be odd. I have taken it in good faith.

So please share your own bitter experience with your tailor(s).

Have you ever been disappointed by a tailor, and How did you react or feel when you encountered the disappointment?

hmmmm

Solo the tailor!

I can ne'er forget solo the tailor

I gave solo some yards of white material to sow me a white shirt for my school uniform back then cos I didn't like buying the ones our school tailors made.

This was 3weeks to resumption and solo had all the time in the universe to complete this work and even loosen the threads and sew it again.

I was to go on saturday and I came on thursday to collect my clothes,,only for solo to tell me that his mother had been sick and he went to the village to see her.

He said he was almost through and that I should come the next day. Little did I know that solo had not even cut the material talk more of sewing.

I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and come on saturday to collect my clothes. Solo was not around when I came,,only his apprentice. The apprentice gave the clothes that solo had sewn for me,,probably overnight.

I decided to test the clothes,,before leaving the shop...Lo and behold
One hand was longer than the other one,,the other shirt was pure sleeveless. Material was not enough for that one,,prolly cos he had wasted the material.

I left the clothes there angrily and went back home to manage the old uniforms I have.

Later on I heard he was arrested by another customer because he sold her material to another lady.

But solo's shop is still erect and he's still working and having customers

That guy must be using some sort of jazz

The story of Abubakar comes to mind when I saw this topic, dude was supposed to sow my uniform I would resume school with in about 3 weeks very much plenty time right (lol), I actually noticed something was wrong when he was taking measurements, tried explaining how and what style I want it to be he kept saying he understands and I thought yeah he must have been doing this a long time to know what's up very wrong, he said I should come a week later I showed up, his colleague said he's out of town but dropped message that I should check back next week, came again he said he's done but needs to iron it that I should come later, came back when he asked the shop was closed now its few days to resumption I began to panic cos since then he wouldn't pick mumsy's call, we had to set spies to catch him unawares he brought the "uniform" lol if it was qualified to be called that it looked like Fela's tailor was having a bad day, the trousers was so tight at the waist area my junior boy was squashed to one side and the legs very fat I could sow another one with them, the shirt was something else picture Fela's tight shirts hanging at the midriff, it so funny I couldn't get angry. I skipped school for a week so as to get another one cos I already outgrew the old ones. Tailors, mechanics, shoe makers they all act the same one disappointment or the other.

Thank God I finally find my own tailor! Before then, chai I suffered in the hands of tailors, no be small.
Their is this neighbor that use to wear fine styles, mumu me gave her about six materials at a go, not knowing someone else use to sow her own cloth for her, she ruined the material no be small.
Though this new guy is expensive, but I'm always at ease whenever I give him clothes to sow.
