The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

During the ?first fitting' of a bespoke frame, he discerns each client's specific needs, requests, aesthetic, and facial structure?recording critical distances, points, relationships, and taking a plaster mold of the nose in order to build the most complimentary and comfortable frame. My product mirrors my convictions as a craftsman to only produce the finest?with forty hours or more invested into each frame. My hope is to birth an heirloom product that will last from generation to generation. Bespoke ?bi'spok? Originating in the 1800's with tailored suiting, footwear and other apparel, implying individual measurements and fittings. The word, ?bespoke', is derived from the verb, ?bespeak,' meaning to speak for something, or most literally, to commission a work. The term bespoke in fashion is reserved for the finest method of making, which is an individually cut pattern for each client in contrast to mass-manufactured goods. |
