This stage typically lasts 2-4 weeks from inquiry. The client provides mood boards, interior designs, inspirations, and material references. Key aspects include defining style direction, identifying employee positions that need uniforms, and discussing the budget. The projected production volume, timeline, and delivery requirements are also established.

This stage spans 4-8 weeks. Within 4 weeks of receiving the design brief, we present style and color options for each position, offering both catalog and custom pieces. It’s a collaborative process where designs are refined based on client feedback until final approval.

This stage lasts 4-8 weeks. We determine whether samples are needed and present a sample purchase order with a timeline and pricing for approval. Sample fittings and reviews are conducted in person when possible, or virtually. Special details such as custom embroidery, buttons, and trims are finalized, and fabrics, colors, and style modifications are confirmed.

This stage spans 8-12 weeks for stock fabrics and 12-16 weeks for custom fabrics. Initial purchase orders require a minimum of 36 units per style. Reorder timelines are quoted upon request, with general delivery estimates of 4-8 weeks for stock fabrics, 8-12 weeks for non-stocked fabrics, and 12-16 weeks for custom fabrics.

At this stage, we assist with determining employee counts and required units per position. A final purchase order, including styles, quantities, prices, fabrics, sizing, and delivery is submitted. Upon approval, a 75% deposit invoice is issued. Production begins once the deposit is received, with the remaining 25% balance due at the time of shipping.

Installation timelines vary by order volume. We ensure uniforms meet client specifications, and in the event of staffing changes, Lady & Butler offers post-delivery alteration services. Additional costs for these services will be quoted and agreed upon before installation.
