*Although it seems to be in an excellent condition as the state of a bolt or a fabric, minor flaws such as slight discolorations can be detected when it is tailored because many of our bolts and fabrics have been stored for a long time.
Unfortunately some of our bolts and fabrics may not be suitable for tailoring.
Thank you very much for your understanding in advance.
