Chapter 268： Tailored

On Saturday mornings, lower Manhattan is still bustling with people coming and going, although it's less noisy during work hours. Greikei went south along Broadway, turned east after reaching Prince Street, slowed down the speed of the car, and searched for the house number on both sides of the street.

But after looking around, they had already reached the intersection of Sullivan Street and Sixth Avenue, and still did not find the destination, which made Grey Lie a little confused. In desperation, I had to park my car within the white line on the side of the road, then walked to the side of the road to inquire, and returned along the original road of Prince Street.

In the vicinity of Thomason Street, Greikei looked around and saw a small building full of ivy on the corner of the street. The dark red brick wall surrounded the gray main building, and then matched with the green ivy, spring. The breath came.

"This is No. 11?" Ge Ruixiaoyi couldn't believe it, the small building in front of her was clearly a residential building, but she didn't expect it to be the destination of her trip today.

Going forward around the red brick wall, but after five or six yards, he saw a three-story stone staircase at the corner, and Greike paused. Looking up, there was a wooden sign the size of a palm hanging on the ceiling above the stone steps, with the words "No. 11 Prince Street" written in red. Grekei knew that it was here.

Pushing aside the wooden fence and walking down the stairs, you will see a hidden carved iron gate. On the right side of the gate hangs a rectangular wooden sign with the inscription "11, eleven (eleven studio". At first glance, the Arabic numeral "11" is nothing special, but if you look closely, you can see that it is actually two patterns. On the left is a simple guitar, and on the right is a micro-rolled tape measure. This is completely drawn by hand, and it is meticulous and exquisite, which makes people sigh. The "Eleventh Studio" below is also handwritten, and the dragons and phoenixes dance like clouds and flowing water.

Looking back at the red bricks and green trees behind him, and then looking up at the delicate carvings in front of him, Ge Rui Yi Lieyi had an illusion, as if he had left the city and walked into a suburban manor. , so that the air becomes meaningful.

Because the iron door was half-open, and the wooden door inside had also been opened, Greikei walked directly inside and asked loudly, "Is anyone there?" The door of Tang Dynasty, but at this time there is an illusion of breaking into a private house.

Without waiting for an answer, Greikei saw two figures in the hall. One of the elegant ladies looked up and smiled, "Welcome, please wait a moment?"

The elegant lady, wearing a simple carmine red shirt and black casual clothes, with a tape measure hanging around her neck, was squatting in front of a man and folded her feet, asking, "Do you prefer a longer length or a better fit? "

The man's face was expressionless, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Catherine, you know I don't have any requirements." Gray Xiaoyi glanced at the man's handsome face, which was enough to make countless girls scream, but his muscles seemed to be stiff. In general, there are not too many expressions. Judging from the smoothness of the corners of the eyes and the forehead, it should be a person who does not laugh very often.

The half-squatting lady didn't look up, and pulled a pin from the needle and thread ball hanging from her left wrist, "Then I'll make it fit for you. Young people should not be too loose."

Then, a pin was pinned to the rolled up foot to mark it.

Greikei withdrew his gaze and took a rough look at the hall. The simple and clear design made people feel refreshed. There were only a dozen or so sets of clothes hanging on the hangers on both sides. At first glance, there was nothing special about it. However, Greikei was the **** who showed interest in the suit on the left.

At this time, there was a small sound of going down the stairs at the end of the hall, and then I saw a tall and strong young man.

The guy walked down, a black shirt made him look refreshed. As soon as the young man appeared, he noticed the strange visitor in the hall, his eyes stopped on Greikei, and he walked up with a smile, "Good morning. Sorry for keeping you waiting, may I have anything I can do to help you? Is it?" The skillful and polite tone made Greikei feel very comfortable. "Good morning. I want to customize a three-piece formal suit." The boy smiled and made a guiding movement, leading Greikei forward. After taking two steps, I sat down at a three-person small round table on the right. "Our Eleven Design currently only provides semi-custom and full-custom services." Then the guy opened a picture book on the glass round table and explained." Sorry if you want to buy ready-to-wear." Then he explained semi-custom and full-custom.

As a financial planner, suits are a must-have for Greikei every day. He needs to wear formal clothes for more than two-thirds of the year, so custom suits are not unusual for him.

The picture book in front of me is actually hand-painted, with detailed instructions for semi-custom and full-customization, and then the description of the clothing pattern is blank. The explanation from the guy in front of me is that if you want to customize it, you can make a god. Make selections on your computer.

At this time, someone came downstairs, and as soon as Gloria looked up, he recognized this person, and it was Evan Bell who dominated the topic list in March.

Here is Eleven Design. The lady is, of course, Katherine Bell, and the one who tries on the dress is Eden Hudson. As a lawyer, suits are also Eden-Hudson's work clothes. At the end of last year, Catherine-Bell made a suit for him by hand. However, because of the busy work at hand, it has not been completed yet. Bell is doing a second modification to the suit. The guy in the black shirt is Teddy Bell, and his years of experience in dry cleaners has made him skilled in receiving guests.

Evan-Bell saw that there were guests, just glanced at Catherine-Bell who had just finished her work, and then turned to go to the studio behind to prepare tea. Eden-Hudson went into the locker room to change clothes, while Katherine-Bell walked over to Grecoy and took over Teddy-Bell's instructions.

After a while, Evan Yi Bell came out with tea, put it on the glass table, said "slow use" and left. This surprised Greikei.

You must know that Evan Bell is now the center of the media storm, and the musical achievements need not be repeated, and the unexpected victory of "Ice Age" over "Men in Black 2" makes the young boy

Guys are in the spotlight. But it is such a focus person who actually helps to deliver tea and water at home.

Even if this is a family business, it is still surprising to see Evan Bell's comfortable appearance.

A fully custom three-piece formal suit, $1,800, was completed in two weeks, with two fittings in between. This price is a bit cheaper than Grecoy imagined. A real master craftsman, a full custom suit, you can't get it without $4,000. However, Grey-Lei also estimated that the main reason is that the name of Catherine-Bell has not been released yet, unlike the Savile Street movement in the United Kingdom, which is a hundred years old, and the price is naturally much lower.

The types of suits designed by Eleven are beyond Greikeyi's imagination. There are thousands of choices for the simplest Western kù, which is already the standard of Savile Row, the world's top full-custom suit mecca. Fortunately, Ge Rui Xiaoyi has many experience in customizing suits, plus some recommendations from Catherine Bell, the selection of the version will be completed quickly, otherwise it will take at least a day just to look at the version catalog. .

Catherine Bell recorded all the dimensions of Grey Lei's body in detail. What surprised Grey Lei was that even the same shoulder and the same arm needed to be measured in different segments. This delicate He has only heard of the measurement method of the top-notch full-custom suit shop, and he never thought that he would have a personal experience one day.

After the measurement, Teddy Bell recorded the personal information of Tsao Greikei, including the basic information of his stature, as well as some information that the individual allowed to reveal, and organized and archived them. In this way, the next time Gray Xiaoyi visits again, he can provide services based on the information and the personal preferences of the guests.

Greikei looked at Teddy Bell, who was taking notes and inputting information seriously, but his eyes were looking around. Eden Hudson, who had changed his clothes, had gone upstairs, but Evan Bell's figure was still there. did not see.

Teddy Bell was keenly aware of Greike's distraction, and said apologetically, "Mr. Lie, I'm very sorry. Since you are the first guest of our Eleven Design, everything is very unfamiliar, which brings you inconvenience. I'm really sorry." Teddy Bell's tone of voice was not humble, modest, polite, gentle and sincere, which made people feel very comfortable.

Now the April issue of "Gentleman" magazine has not been listed yet Although Catherine Bell has a reputation, there are indeed very few customers who come to her door.

Several clients have come to the door before, but they all backed off when they heard that full custom suits are so expensive. Therefore, Greikei became the first order for the opening of Eleven Design.

Greikei smiled awkwardly, "No, no, it's my honor to be able to design custom clothes on 11th." After speaking, Greikei paused and said with a careful tone, "Actually, I like it very much. Evan-Bell's song." Greliei is someone who deals with clients, so shy can't do a financial planner's job, I just feel that it is a bit awkward to make such a request when I am old. But after saying it, Greikei was a lot more generous, "I was just looking for Evan's figure just now, and I hope I can have a chance to talk to him." Hearing this, Teddy Yibel was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but hehe He laughed, "He is arranging the fabric in the back. Since the customer has demand, I think we should be able to do God a favor."

Greikei also laughed, of course he knew it was a polite remark. If everyone came to ask to meet with Evan-Bell, and Evan-Bell had to agree, it would be too busy.

Obviously, today was because there were no other guests, and Greikei was the first customer of Eleven Design, and Evan Bell was just at home, so Teddy Bell responded. ! .
