      <p>During Christmas break, I laid low with the family. I got lazy, had too many beers and enjoyed a terrific dinner hosted by my brother’s wife in the warm glow of California. On the other hand, Deo Veritas’s founder and CEO, Vinnie Sikka, made the 15 hour journey to Hong Kong to pay a visit to our tailors.</p>
<p>He wants to share his journey, giving an inside view on what it takes to craft a hand made shirt by our seasoned experts. Along with some of the spoils Hong Kong has to offer.</p>
<p><span id="more-745"></span></p>
<p>Welcome to Hong Kong and its second tallest building, the towering International Finance Center. Nope, our shop isn’t located here — not yet at least!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bldg.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-753" title="bldg" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bldg.jpg" alt="" width="423" height="563" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Meet CEO and founder of Deo Veritas, Vinnie Sikka, observing the many fabrics we offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/with-product3-revised.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-759" title="vinnie1" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/with-product3-revised.jpg" alt="" width="657" height="492" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here’s a view of the shop floor. One thing that separates us from the rest is that our facility is not a “sweat shop” or a factory. Our shop is located within a brand new office building in central Hong Kong. Our equipment is modern and our people all have 10+ years of experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shop1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-760" title="shop1" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shop1.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Another view, our tailor laying out fabric for a new shirt.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shop2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-761" title="shop2" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shop2.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is an image of the fabric pieces in Autocad. After they are printed, they are cut and then fitted over the fabric, sized as needed, and stitched together to make the final product.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pieces.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-762" title="pieces" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pieces.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Aligning the Autocad shirt patterns with the fabric.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/patterns.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-763" title="patterns" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/patterns.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pattern1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-764" title="pattern1" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pattern1.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here the finished collar is being pressed through the fusing machine. The high quality fusing process ensures a long life for all our collars and cuffs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fused.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-797" title="fused" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fused.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here’s a nearly finished shirt collar. You can see the slot for the collar stays.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fused-collar.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-798" title="fused collar" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fused-collar.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Putting it together…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/together.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-765" title="together" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/together.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/stitch.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-766" title="stitch" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/stitch.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/finished.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-799" title="finished" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/finished.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And your final product!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/finish.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-767" title="finish" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/finish.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Vinnie putting the final touches on an order.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/final.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-768" title="final" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/final.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After all that hard work, the team got together for dinner.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/team.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-769" title="team" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/team.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Vinnie loved the shrimp on a stick — even the brain! “Tasted like chicken.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shrimp1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-779" title="shrimp" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shrimp1.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What a feast!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/food.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-771" title="food" src="http://www.deoveritas.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/food.jpg" alt="" width="638" height="479" /></a></p>
