How long does it take to get the robe done?

How long does it take to get the robe done?

Depends on the volume of orders, but I'd say a week or so.

[the-bumper-car]

Suggestion lang, let's have a "Borrow/Loan a Robe" thread here as well - for Students who already have robes, but aren't free to wear it in July...

[trickster]

Would Monsieur Malkin be available to adjust existing School Robes? I have one of the 1st Generation (or is it 2nd Gen?) robes - no inside left pocket

aye to this suggestion po..

[buttered_toast]

just want to make sure if we've been measured before (latest was the time PHP went to la salle 2008), can we follow-up our robes or do we need to re-measure?

[yvaine]

MACY - I'm sure he can do adjustments. Just send him an e-mail at monsieur.malkin@gmail.com .

KITKAT - Just e-mail Monsieur Malkin to confirm

Correct. Fastest leadtime is one week, after the measurements and payment of course

It is very possible to redo your robes BUT not for now. Muggle clients are priority for this season. Start of most Filipino muggle schools I'll inform you when.

I believe that was Nov2008 at DLSU Taft If I can find the measurements, you don't have to. Unless your vital stats REALLY changed Please send me a mobile owl at 0927-925-5766 so I can inform you right away if you need to re-measure.

How about the shirts that we asked last November of 2008? Will we be able to get those too?

Monsieur Malkin could I get the info on how to get my measurements? I don't think I can make it to the accio. Can you also PM your account details so I can send payment to you? Thanks!

Sowwy, only School Robes for now. Other designs/costumes must be given extra attention which I can't provide right now

I will post (or the Deputy HM will ) the instruction at the end of this week at most. You can send me a mobile owl at 0927-925-5766 so sending of account details will be faster

Plus the leadtime may not apply for the meantime because of the start of muggle school (muggle school uniforms). What I'm targetting for now is the start of HBP movie related activities in July 2009.

By the way Monsieur M, since andito lang naman ako somewhere in the philippines. hehe. makakapa provincial delivery ka pa ba with the shipping cost at my expense... If you can, that would be great pero if medyo alanganin, theres always a next time. ehehe.

Thanks.

Very possible. I'll just have to inquire the shipping cost and charge the Client in addition to the School Robes cost. The only restriction is the network or coverage of the couriers Drop me a mobile owl message so we can arrange this.

Monsieur, pano po kaya kung para sa baby ko???

uhm, he's almost 2 years old..

magkano charge mo sakin.. ^^

[myharry]

Hi

hmmmmm...actually im inquiring about robes and patches for Slytherin...
i would like to ask the mode of payment for robes and patches?!?
what if I don't know my measurement??maybe im asking for procedures to get one...hehehhe

[yvaine]

I'll let Monsieur answer the rest, but he already said patches aren't sold separately as of now because their use in the school robes is being prioritized.

[myharry]

ok..thanks deputy!!

[Monsieur Malkin]

The price can be lowered, but maybe not that less. The reason is the labor is almost the same. The difference in price would be determined by the difference in fabric. I have yet to compute the price for small Robes.

The info for mode of payment was already posted by Prof Skywalker. As for the instructions for getting your own measurements, I'll post them tomorrow

In addition for the mode of payment:
1. Downpayment at least 50% (or full payment) to me personally during Accios and the rest of the payment when you claim the finished Robes, or
2. Downpayment at least 50% (or full payment) to me through Gringotts account (to be provided upon request, drop me a mobile owl at 0927-925-5766) and the rest of the payment by Galleons when you claim the finished Robes.
3. In addition to #2, drop me a mobile owl if you already deposited through the specified Gringotts account.

Monsieur Malkin

[myharry]

Actually, i read the post of Prof Skywalker instruction while checking out the castle... heheheh!!!by the way, thanks for the information...
I haven't drop any Galleons to any Gringotts...i think i can drop the 50% payment at the first week of July... is that ok with Monsieur Malkin?
Can I get the Gringotts Account?so that i can immediately deposit the Galleons needed for my robes on July....hehehhe

Grabe...im so excited because i finally im getting one..

[Monsieur Malkin]

The following are the instructions:

Notes:
N1. All measurements should be in inches
N2. All measurements should be exact. No allowances should be inlcuded. Madam Malkin shall take care of the required allowances
N3. All measurements should done in relaxed, standing and upright position. Slouching or bending can affect your measurements
N4. PointA as the reference point between the base of the neck and the collar bone (red arrow).
N5. Ask someone to take your measurements. I know others may have other ways to measure, but please stick to these instructions so we would all be talking on the same page.
N6. Chosen Draco as model Refer to colors as guides. Refer to attached pic.

1. Shoulder - Side to side. If you try to press the edge of the shoulder, you could feel the shoulder bone. This could be a reference point. From this point to the counterpart on the other side is your shoulder measurement. For uniformity, measure the shoulder from left to right shoulder of the subject. Yellow line point B to point C.

2. Sleeve - After you've done the shoulder measurements, extend the tape measure through the right arm length until the start of knuckles. The right arm should be pressed on the side while this measurement is done. Yellow + Maroon line (point C to point D)

3. Arms - Create a loop around the subject's armpit and the shoulder and measure it. Green line seen crossing the armpit and shoulder.

4. Bust - One of the typical vital statistics taken, essentially the widest point of the chest.

5. Waist - another commonly known vital stat. For witches, this shuold be taken at the level of the bellybutton or navel. For wizards, this is where you tyically place the waistband of your shorts or pants.

6. Hips - the third of the famous vital stats. Same as the bust, the widest point of the subject's hips.

7. Figure - Starting from PointA (refer to N4), let the tape measure fall to the widest point of your bust, to the point till the tape measure crosses the waist. Brown line from PointA through bust point and ends at the waist line.

8. Length - continuing from the Figure measurement, extend the tape measure to the floor. The Length measure is preferably one (1) inch from the floor. Represented by Brown line.
Ensure that feet are placed together when getting this measurement, otherwise you'll get a shorter measurement.

Additional info:
1. Subject's Gender
2. Subject's Height
3. Muggle name
4. Mobile owl number

I hope these helps. Send your measurements to monsieur.malkin@gmail.com, include your mobile owl number.

For any queries, clarifications or violent reactions, just post them here or send me a mobile owl.

Buongiorno Monsieur Malkin! I have some questions.

I'm currently in Rome and would love to get my robes from your fabulous shop. Is it possible? If you accept international order, would it be possible to send it also here? XD I know this is an odd request seeing all the posts here but I hope you allow such requests. XD

Right now, the only problem I can see would be the shipping cost which will be charged to you and most probably be higher than the cost of the robe itself.

Monsieur Malkin

[Monsieur Malkin]

It seems that some are having difficulties getting the measurements.

Well, the minimum that Madam would require are the following for School Robes:

1. Bust
2. Waist
3. Hips
4. Subject's height
5. Subject's gender

All notes I've previously listed should be followed - like I need the exact measurements(no allowance) in inches.

Guess there should be no other problems than that. Now all I need is someone to measure me up. ahahaha Thanks! Will send you an email once I'm done to facilitate everything needed.

[doc_ardyey]

monseur... is the measurements the same if i want a uniform for quidditch made? hehe.. im planning to order both after i made some galleons from work... hehe thanks a lot

[dark_knightz14]

[Monsieur Malkin]

Almost the same. Its just the sleeves are shorter. But I have yet to review the designs for the new movies. But for the previous designs (SS to GoF), sleeves are shorter.

Monsieur Malkin

[Monsieur Malkin]

Hmmm... I was about to reprimand you Sean for that. Because from the start, I've discussed this with the Deputy HM. we had the understanding I've already posted this info. But alas, the info got edited when I was doing the draft. I apologize for the error.

The answer to the query:

I've set the deadline of measurements and downpayment to July4, IF you want the robes in time for the HBP events this month. After this deadline, I can't assure the clients that the School Robes would be available for the said events.

But if you're not targetting the HBP events, there is no deadline.

Hi! Next time, if you want to add a question please EDIT your post instead of posting AGAIN. Thanks.

Also... of course you will need to meet with Monsieur Malkin personally. You can send him a Personal Message to arrange a meeting. Have you sent him your measurements yet?

And also, yes, you HAVE to pay in cash, Monsieur Malkin doesn't take checks or credit cards.
