Buying a business outfit is normally a costly occasion. A good business outfit normally cost a couple of hundred euros. Even for this price, you are still limited to the different outfits the store offers. When you choose to buy a tailor made suit, the price will even be higher. Meet Itailor.com!

Itailor is a classic example of mass customization. Itailor.com makes it possible for people to design their own business outfit existing of a suit, shirt, tie and business shoes. When you enter the website, you get a choice menu. This menu makes it possible to design a clothing item that you need.

If you for example want to design your own t-shirt, you can choose between four fabric options. Each option has his own price and exists of a number of other color options (as you can see below). After this step, the consumer gets the possibility to adapt the entire design of the t-shirt. You can choose the color of the buttons, shape of the shirt and it is even possible to write your name on the shirt. Finally, the customer can choose the size of the t-shirt. The customer can choose between measuring his own size or choose for “common” sizes. On this way Itailor enables its customers to make their own tailor made t-shirt (or suit, shoes etc.) for an affordable price.

Most tailor made t-shirts will cost at least €60,-. With Itailor it is possible to design your own T-shirt for less than 20 euro’s. Two years ago, I designed my own t-shirt. The quality of this t-shirt was very good for that price. Itailor makes it possible for people to wear tailor made clothes for a reasonable price. For this reason, Itailor is able to reach a complete other target group than the original tailor shops. Original tailor shops focus on people who want status and can afford a costly suit. Itailor can focus on people with a lower budget, like students.
