Who Made My Clothes? 
Clare is co-founder and designer of Mandatory and the Director of the whole operation. She started out managing the manufacturing workroom and moved to shop floor during the GFC, often coordinating manufacturing at night. These days she buys cloth and co-designs the range, coordinates the manufacturing schedule and works alongside the managers of both sites. She is responsible for some of the longest selling designs in the store. She handles the trickiest of suiting, casual fittings, and draft patterns. Clare also consults on wardrobes for busy men. She keeps regular weekly shifts on the shop floor and works hard to be the great boss she is constantly praised as being.

Who Made My Clothes?
Jamie is our finisher, finalising garments back from the machinists. Every button hole, button, dome and belt loop on every garment is the work and patience of Jamie. She is stepping up to manage the workroom, coordinating the many special orders and stock production. Jamie draws up patterns, cuts custom orders, stock and new designs.

Who Made My Clothes?
Hannah is our store and digital content manager. She runs the day to day operations of the shop and co-ordinates fittings and suit consultations with clients. Hannah is also responsible for the website and social media channels. She regularly shoots new products in store to make sure guys (and their potential present buyers) are kept up to date with the latest arrivals. This is a huge role and she sets the pace for others to work to.

Who Made My Clothes?
Manisha is our multi talented graduate who splits her time between the workroom and the store. Some days she’s retailing in the store and other days she can be found cutting orders and stock in the workroom (or running in between the two with garments!) Manisha is also in charge of quality control and makes sure that all garments are pressed and tagged and have their finishing touches before they hit the shop floor.
