Birth of the Chipp2.com Blog

Monday, June 30th, 2008

A number of our customers have suggested that I share some of the experiences and things we have learned in the 65 years that we have been doing what we do.  What does the two-headed Chipp 2-Winston Tailors do?  Chipp 2 is a small “corporate identity product ” maker. We make ties and scarves for clubs, alumni groups, schools, companies, etc.  Our website features the products we make that feature dog breeds.  Winston Tailors makes custom and made-to-measure clothing- suits, sports jackets, odd trousers, vests.  We also have an unusual range of shirt fabrics and we make shirts to order.  We have been privileged  to deal with an exciting, conservative (in dress, not necessarily politically)  clientele.  The blog will deal with the history of the “two heads” and with some of the things that have come to pass- for example what it was like making clothing for  President  John F. Kennedy.   Tomorrow’s blog will contain a few stories about the origins of the two entities.
