Last week on May 19th, English Cut tur­ned four months old.
Wow. It seems a lot lon­ger than that.
Tho­mas is going to the Sta­tes in two weeks, his second US visit under the “English Cut” ban­ner. Last time he mea­su­red his new cus­to­mers; this time they’ll be having their first fit­tings. The proof of the pud­ding is in the eating etc.
[My main obser­va­tion:] Though it’s nice to have had all this blogosphere-generated inte­rest (which directly led to a lot of new busi­ness), true value in tai­lo­ring is crea­ted by how many long-term clients you have. Regu­lar, repeat busi­ness over a stretch of many years.
No big media spike can replace that. So it’s still very early days. I rec­kon it’ll be at least three years before I’ll be able to know how vai­ble this busi­ness really is. But I’m optimisitic.
