Bespoke Communication Clothing

You don't need to know exactly what you want.

Tell us what you want your communication clothing to help with specifically, what needs and on which occasion/s. We'll help you explore what's possible — for the wearer, the family, the school or therapist — and then we'll build something unique to the wearer.

The Principle

Every bespoke customer journey begins with a short form that allows for a more impactful conversation

A form can tell us what someone thinks they want. A conversation tells us what would actually help. So before any bespoke project proceeds, it starts with a consultation.

  • We take the time to understand the person who'll wear it.
  • We explain what's genuinely possible, including options you may not have considered.
  • We develop something personal to them, not a variation on a template.
  • Nothing is assumed, and nothing moves to production without your sign-off.
Step One · The First Question
"If you could have anything made, what would your dream product look like?"

We encourage you not to limit yourself to what you think is currently possible. A short enquiry form starts things off - completed by anyone: the wearer, a parent, a school, a therapist, or another professional - and you can say as much or as little as you currently know.

The Journey
01—02
Phase One

Discover

We listen first — to what you already know, and to what you're still working out.

1
Step One

Initial Enquiry

A short form, open to anyone — the wearer, a parent or carer, a school, a speech and language therapist, an occupational therapist, or another professional. You don't need a complete design in mind. The only essential question: what would you like your bespoke product to help with?

2
Step Two

Initial Review

We read every enquiry personally. This isn't about deciding exactly what you should order — it's about preparing properly for your consultation.

Honesty first. Where a request is clearly outside our capabilities, or would carry unacceptable risk, we'll say so before arranging anything.
03—09
Phase Two

Design

The heart of the process — understanding the individual, then translating that into a practical, wearable product.

3
Step Three

Bespoke Consultation

Around 60 minutes as standard, longer if the project genuinely needs it. For particularly complex or high-end projects, a Private Bespoke Day gives room to plan an entire wardrobe in one sitting.

Bring whoever matters to the project — wearer, family, teacher, SENCO, therapist, personal assistant, your own tailor. With your authorisation, we're glad to speak with any professionals involved directly.

Step Four

Understanding the Individual

This isn't a clothing consultation — it's a conversation about a person.

Communication
How they communicate now, existing AAC, symbols already used, what they'd like made easier
Sensory
Fabrics, seams, labels, weight, tightness, temperature, materials to embrace or avoid
Clothing
Current favourites, brands, fits, and what they refuse to wear
Identity & interests
Colours, animals, characters, hobbies, collections, personal style
Lifestyle
School, home, travel, sport, sleep, therapy, social and formal occasions
What should we absolutely avoid? Knowing what someone dislikes matters just as much as knowing what they love. Photos of clothing they already wear or particularly like are very welcome — it's often easier than describing every detail aloud.

Step Five

Exploring Possibilities

Arrive with "I need a communication hoodie" and you may well leave with something quite different — a different garment, a different placement, removable panels, interchangeable symbols, discreet or highly visible communication. You don't need to know the options in advance. Helping you discover them is part of the service.

Where communication content is involved, we'll talk through words, symbols, illustrations, icons and colour systems — customer-provided, licensed, our own library, or artwork by disabled artists — and where on the garment it should sit: sleeves, cuffs, chest, back, hood or pockets, chosen for accessibility, visibility and how it will actually be used.

6
Step Six

Measurements & Fit

Taken by you, a parent or carer, or your own trusted tailor — where you already work with one, we're glad to collaborate with them directly.

7
Step Seven

Design Specification

Everything agreed is written down in a formal Bespoke Design Specification — garment, fabric, fit and construction, communication content and placement, decoration and personalisation, intended use. Nothing is left to memory.

8
Step Eight

Feasibility Review

Before anything is ordered, we check the specification properly: can it be made, made safely, and made to a standard we're proud of?

9
Step Nine

Prototype

For complex or unfamiliar projects, we build a prototype first — so you, and any professionals involved, can assess fit, comfort, placement, communication accessibility and usability before the final piece is made.

10—12
Phase Three

Agree

One clear price, one final sign-off, before a single stitch is made.

10
Step Ten

Quote

Once the project is understood, you receive one all-inclusive price — not a parts list to calculate yourself.

Minimum design fee: £150 per unique design

Quotes are valid for a set period. If one expires before you accept, we'll need to revisit material and production costs before confirming a new price.

11
Step Eleven

Payment

Bespoke projects are paid in full before production begins. Materials, manufacturing capacity and design time are committed entirely to your project, so nothing starts until payment is received and the project is formally accepted.

12
Step Twelve

Final Design Approval

Before we cut, print or sew anything, you approve the finished specification in full — garment, size, fabric, colour, communication content, symbols, spelling, artwork, placement and quantity. Once approved, production begins; changes after this point may carry extra cost, or may no longer be possible.

13—16
Phase Four

Deliver

Made properly, checked properly, and handed over with the care the project deserves.

13
Step Thirteen

Manufacturing

Made by My Best Interest, or by a trusted production partner working under the project — heat pressing, digital printing, embroidery, pattern cutting, sewing and specialist construction, commissioned as the project requires.

14
Step Fourteen

Quality Control

Every piece is checked against the agreed specification before it leaves us — garment, size, measurements, colours, spelling, symbols, artwork, placement, print and embroidery quality, construction and finish.

15
Step Fifteen

Personal Delivery

Where appropriate, personal delivery is part of the bespoke experience — an appointment to present the finished piece, check fit, talk through how it feels, and celebrate the work together. Where personal delivery isn't required, we agree an alternative arrangement with you.

16
Step Sixteen

Follow-Up

We stay in touch once there's been time to actually live with the piece.

Begin With One Question

What would you like your bespoke product to help with?

Every bespoke client receives a consultation. There's no obligation, and no need to arrive with a finished idea — that's what the conversation is for.
