Eastern Clothing Co.

Eastern Clothing Co. is located at No. 85 Gt Road, up on the 2nd floor. You have to walk up a flight of stairs that are a bit narrow and steep, so it’s a bit of a workout if you’re carrying heavy boxes. Being on Gt Road means there is always noise from the traffic downstairs, especially the buses honking and the motorbikes zooming past. We’ve been on this floor for a good while. The windows look out over the street, and we spend a lot of time watching the commuters go by during the rush hour. Inside, the space is divided into a small office area and a much larger room where the actual work happens. We have several rows of sewing machines and big tables for layout and cutting. The floor is made of old wood that has been worn smooth over the years. We keep a couple of fans going in the corner because it gets stuffy in the afternoons when the sun hits the glass. It’s a busy place. We don't really have a lobby, so guests just walk straight into the middle of everything. It’s a bit chaotic at times, with thread and fabric scraps everywhere, but we know where everything is. We aren't a big corporation with fancy offices. We’re just a local business on the second floor of number 85, doing what we’ve done for years.
