On October 12 1994, the business made its first sale. Today countless drycleaners in Canada and the US display Dohns' blue and white poster advertising his replacement collars and cuffs service.
"It gives drycleaners an edge to offer a specialist service, something the competition does not have." he says.
"Customers can attach the collars and cuffs themselves, if they want and we supply the instructions." says Dohn.
However, he explains that the main business is through drycleaners, laundries and specialist tailors.
The stock is all-white, all-cotton. with neck sizes from 14 to 20. Single and French cuffs are available and are matched to the neck size but if customers prefer, they can also order by cuff length.
"We ship the orders by post. Sample orders are available. We ship across Canada and into the United States everyday and we would be happy to supply European outlets."
Dohn still keeps his list of things to do, and one day he may start on number two. |
