TAILOR MADE FABRIC (TMF) AND LEATHER (TML)
In addition to our Collection fabrics, we have over 100 pre-approved Tailor Made Fabrics
(TMF) and Leathers (TML) to choose from.
For all non-approved fabrics and leathers, a full chair will need to be produced to
approve the fabric in advance of order placement and confirmation. This will be charged
at full price, regardless of fabric suitability and will increase the Tailor Made lead time by
at least 2 weeks. This is subject to a minimum order quantity.
Please contact customerservices@tomdixon.net for a full list of pre-approved fabrics
and leathers and the Tailor Made ordering process.
Fabric/Leather Suitability
It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure the selected material is suitable for the
intended environment. Tom Dixon cannot take any responsibility for the performance of
the material or any improper use. It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure they
follow the Care & Maintenance guidelines provided by the manufacturer. Seek further
advice from the fabric supplier where required.
Guidelines for Domestic Use
Fabrics must be match resistant. It is the responsibility of the Customer to advise if the
TMF or TML fabric supplied is inherently match resistant or will need chemical flame
retardant treatment. The upholstery composite (lay up of fabric cover, any interlines
and the filling assembly) must be cigarette resistant. It is the responsibility of the
Customer to advise if the TMF or TML material supplied is inherently cigarette resistant
or will need chemical flame retardant treatment.
Guidelines for Contract Use
The fabric cover and upholstery composite must be match resistant and cigarette
resistant. In addition, the upholstery composite must be larger flame source resistant,
depending upon the environment the upholstery is placed into. It is the responsibility of
the Customer to advise the specific non domestic usage requirements and to advise that
the TMF or TML fabric supplied meets the requirements. Any other regional requirements
will need to be agreed in advance of order placement. All test certificates must be sent
to Tom Dixon for approval in advance of order placement and confirmation.
