Clothing Company Definitions by Name
Hillhouse Tailors describes itself as a service-based company, and the distinction matters. A ready-to-wear shirt is a product in fixed sizes; a custom shirt is a service that ends in a product, starting with the customer's own measurements. Through the company website, customers create a measurement profile to their specifications, then customise the shirt by selecting from an array of fabric, pocket, collar, cuff, placket, pleat and monogramming styles. Each choice is a small design decision — collar shape changes how a shirt sits with a tie, cuff style changes its formality, a monogram makes it personal — and the profile is kept so reordering takes minutes.
The founder's path to shirtmaking was unusual. Shawn Liu came from research analysis at the Federal Reserve, by way of the Yale School of Management, and his entrepreneurial example was his father, an emigrant from China who left employment with BIC, Inc. and started his own ink business out of his garage. Before launching, Liu and fellow Yale graduate Jennie Vry conducted extensive testing of the product and service process, treating fit and ordering as a system to be proven before it was sold.
Hillhouse sells through three channels: online retail, the biggest; partnerships with established men's retail stores; and a travelling sales team that goes on site to corporations and organisations providing complimentary measurement and ordering sessions.
