I don't think there's a lack of people that sew in Vancouver / westcoast. My mother in law used to work in clothing / gear fabrication and still knows lots of people in the biz. Talent is not an issue IMO. Business model and customer service are the issues.
I've walked in before asking for something that's supposed to be available, yet they weren't stocked with the materials (CADPAT fabric???). So they couldn't make it. IMO, if you're advertising stuff on your sight, it should either be in stock or you give an ETA of when it's available (and say it's not in stock).
