• When I submit sizes, it shows an ´out of range´ error. What does that mean?
  This error message flags potential discrepancies in your measurements submission, based on logical proportion relationships that don´t normally apply. Our patented ´Measurement Program´ consists of protocols designed to catch these discrepancies so we can manually screen the sizes prior to completing the order. A discrepancy which the program catches alerts us to a potential problem. If you confirm that the measurements you submitted are correct, you need not do anything else. Just confirm that back to us.
  Our patented program is just the first step in the screening processes we use for ensuring a perfectly fit, custom-made garment made to your specifications. We also have cross referencing size techniques that we use when executing your orders.
