I wanted to share a few thoughts about handmade clothing. I'm going to present it in a Q and A format .
"Do you really make these yourself?"
The items you see in my shop are all made by me, one by one by hand.
Handmade is a murky term, factory products are technically handmade too, but those items are made in large quantities on a streamlined factory line where every seamstress does one part of the job . Large volume manufacturing does not allow nearly risk free space for experimentation.
A customer pointed out to me that I'm an experimental clothing artist, which was a title I did not want to use before. It is true some of my items are experimental , tentative like, but they all work and won't fell apart, nothing weird is going to happen .
I added head mounted go-pro video footage, a few outtakes that gives insight into the fabrication process.
"I love your items but they are so expensive, why ? "
Expensive is quiet a relative term,
I am offering a sweatshop labor and corporation free authentic purchasing experience.
You will be speaking to me if you hit the 'Contact Seller' button, not an employee of a large business who can't do anything except inform you politely that he or she can't do anything to solve your problem or fulfill a special request.
I make every piece one by one. Keep in mind the price includes premium customer service .
If you want slight modifications to your item, message me before placing an order.
"Shipping is expensive I want free shipping"
Free shipping is a marketing gimmick, the only advantage is that you get a compact price, no further fees apply.
If you see free shipping anywhere, that only means the seller includes the shipping price in the overall price. It's built in, not free.
The reason I don't offer "Free shipping" because there are significant difference in price let's say between a package to the US and a package to Australia.
Why don't I make more women's clothing ?
Women's clothes is such a large market with cut-throat competition and my mind is more tuned into making men's clothing. However I get a significant amount of women buying my clothes for themselves without asking any questions.

5 out of 5 starsFlawless in every way. Perfectly tailored to my custom measurements. Comfortable fit, exquisite stitching, symmetrical where it's right, asymmetrical where it's fashionable. It looks amazing on me and feels even better. This is my second RolandMode custom and I'll definitely be back again.

4 out of 5 starsGood quility overall but not really liked the end resault of this product. I did ask for it to be shortened, which he did, but ended up with the jacket feeling somewhat off (atleast for me personally) The store owner did accept a return even while it was a slightly cutom order.

5 out of 5 starsThis jacket is incredibly well made! It looks amazing. The material is of great quality and the attention to detail in the design really shows. I'm very happy with this purchase, and the shipping was quick! I highly recommend.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the second item I've purchased from RolandMode and both were really well made. The first one has held up for over ten years and it still is in great shape!
