A quick five-point checklist that saves time, prevents damage, and helps your tailor start work immediately.
| Step | What to Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Clean & dry | Launder or dry-clean if heavily soiled; let it dry fully. | Dirty or damp items can stain other parcels and delay work. |
| 2 — Empty pockets | Remove cash, keys, and lint. | Lost items are not covered by insurance. |
| 3 — Remove accessories | Take off belts, detachable hoods, cufflinks, shoulder pads. | Accessories can snag fabric and add weight. |
| 4 — Light press / fold neatly | Quick steam or iron; fold along natural creases. | Reduces deep wrinkles that hide pins or chalk marks. |
| 5 — Attach order-number note | Pin a card: “iSeam.uk – Order #12345.” | Tailor can match garment to order instantly; speeds check-in. |
Tip: Sending multiple garments? Label each piece individually so nothing gets mixed up during fitting and pressing.
