Custom Fit
We pride ourselves on the fact that we are able to offer CUSTOM MADE GYMWEAR for all shapes and sizes.
This includes lengthening, shortening, specialised fit alterations and amendments.
Customers are able to order all styles in a wide choice of colour schemes made to fit only them. There is no better sports wear, than custom made sports wear.
A) LENGTHENING
Our customers can order extra length no problem. In the order system we request your height measurement. Most of our fits and lengths are based on a standard average of 1.7m, so if we see a height with a large variance to the 1.7m, we will automatically RED FLAG your order for Custom Fit Suggestion.
Once we RED flag your order, we will make contact with you to confirm a lengthening or shortening, and make a suggestion for the measurement.
We allow an additional 2cm on length for first wash.
If we have concerns, we may request you to give us an inside leg measurement from one of your other tights, measured FLAT on a table.
Most of the time we do not charge for extra length UNLESS the height submitted is way out of the standard tolerance of 165cm - 170 cm - 175cm. We will however always quote on any additional extra length prior to production.
Any height out of the height tolerance will be charged for and quoted accordingly. This is due to the fact that your Custom Length needs to be hand cut, adjusted specifically for you and measured along the production.
B) SHORTENING
Our customers can order a special requirement shortening also.
The process is the same as above, if you pick a length far from ours, we will RED flag and make contact with suggestions.
Many clients need to order Custom Fit shortening if the pants have zips, strings or low detailing on pants.
Most of the time we do not charge for shortening UNLESS the height submitted is way out of the standard tolerance of 165cm - 170 cm - 175cm. We will however always quote on any additional charges prior to production. There are many styles which cannot be shortened as we will loose the proportion of the style if we just cut the bottoms..... we always try shorten proportionately. If we feel a style cannot work on the specified height, we will always make contact and RED FLAG the item.
Any height out of the height tolerance will be charged for and quoted accordingly. This is due to the fact that your Custom Length needs to be hand cut, adjusted specifically for you and measured along the production.
PANTS RISES
IF YOU ARE SHORT
You should order one rise down eg if you want high rise pants, then you should click on standard rise as the pants will fit higher on you because of your height.
IF YOU ARE TALL
The same applies if you are tall: order one rise up
C) TOP ADJUSTMENTS
We adapt our Vest Fits to match into your Bra Sizing.
When an order is placed, we request your Bra Sizing so we can check our fit and alter if necessary. Boost Gymwear Fits are excellent. To date, we pride ourselves on not having 1 return on Internet Orders due to poor fit.
The minute we see a RED flag height, we can automatically shorten strap measurements if you are short plus the lengths of the tops. Same for lengthening if you are tall.
We often get sizes like 32D or 38B - small body, large bust.....cant buy small, cant buy large..... so we adapt these to fit Bra Sizing too.
You never need to guess what size to order at Boost - you plug in your Back Size and your Cup Size and our system will push out the most suitable size for you FOR THAT STYLE at our factory.
We are BRA Designers by Trade, so the minute you put your BRA size in, we know exactly what you look like :)
D) SIZING INFORMATION
Our standard sizing is generally as follows:
XS = 32 (US 2) (AUS 6) (UK 4)
S = 34 (US 6) ( AUS 10) (UK 8)
M = 36 (US 10) (AUS 14) (UK 12)
L = 38 (US 14) (AUS 18) (UK 16)
XL = 40 (US 18) (AUS 22) ( UK 20)
** We also offer XXS and XXL, but these need to be custom ordered and custom charged separately.
E) SIZING CROSS CHECK
We ALWAYS cross check your measurements against all the styles that you have ordered.
If we have any concerns we will contact you to advise a CUSTOM ORDER. To double check sizing, please make sure you give us:
** WE CANNOT GUARANTEE SIZING ORDERED ONLINE UNLESS ALL THESE MEASUREMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
It is essential to complete all the fields per style - the more information you give us, the better your order will fit.
If we make suggestions on the size ordered or recommend to upsize or downsize, and the client does not take our advice, we will not guarantee the cost of the return courier.
Return parcel back to Boost and replacement courier will be for the clients own account.
F) CUSTOM LENGTHS AND SPECS
Unless a client specifically states her requested measurement, we have to deliver what was ordered and paid for, and what is standard for Boost Gymwear.
If you have your own requirements for measurements, please clearly state these in the special comments or sizing cross check.
Unless the Sizing Cross Check is completed on the original order, we cannot guarantee any sizing problems after delivery has taken place.
G) CUSTOM FIT CHARGES
Custom Fit Charges are billed as follows:
1. CUSTOM FIT - this charge of R50.00 per item is billed as an additional cost and can be ordered in ACCESSORIES - AR 1939 (this is on hold until further notice)
This is purely for the Hand Cutting Fee - when we have a Custom Fit and measurements or alterations that we have to do to that one style, for one client, this takes time in our Cutting Room and our Factory Sewing Floor. Furthermore that order needs to be Hand Cut especially for you.
2. CUSTOM FIT - ADDITIONAL FABRIC
We charge an additional amount for Fabric ONLY if the Lengthening is over 10cm of extra fabric required, style dependant.
3. VIRTUAL FITTING APPOINTMENT
If you would like to book a VIRTUAL Fitting Appointment feel free to make an appointment via email so we can discuss, see your body and make some suggestions. (email only to set up: sales@boostgymwear.co.za)
WE WILL NOT PROCESS ANYTHING UNTIL WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION NEEDED FROM THE CLIENT.
ALL ORDERS WILL BE PENDING, PUT ON HOLD AND DELAYED UNTIL WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED TO ISSUE TO OUR FACTORY.
