| "I feel as if I shaved years off the learning curve to be successful at measuring correctly. I would recommend this course to the beginner and the seasoned veteran." - R.H. |
Perhaps my greatest satisfaction comes from sharing ideas with fellow clothiers. For nearly two decades now I've been fortunate to be able to participate in great exchanges of creativity and information nearly every day with novice and veteran clothiers alike throughout America, Canada and Europe.
Our successful journey into the clothing business began more than twenty years ago. We've operated a tremendous retail and direct sales business, become recognized in the industry for publishing industry newsletters and direct mail marketing services. I've served for a period of time on the board of directors of the prestigious Custom Tailors and Designers Association and have been fortunate to work both sides of the fence with experience in both retailing and manufacturing.

"I was extremely satisfied with Kent's measurement training. I was impressed with Kent's thorough knowledge of the entire process. His years on the manufacturing side of the business add a point of view that is invaluable! He truly is an expert and helped me to understand the "big picture," and not just how to place a tape measure on someone. I would highly recommend Kent's services to anyone that is considering using them. His training has paid for itself multiple times over."
