The entirety of my menswear range was sewn entirely by hand. Hundreds of hours went into construction, with all aspects of the construction completed with patience and utmost care.
Hand sewing allowed for incredible accuracy when aligning seams.
Hand sewing allowed for very clean square corners.
Jacket was unlined to expose elements of construction. All internal seams were enclosed in hand cut bias binding, which was sewn on with a small running stitch.
Hems were turned up and finished with a fine slip stitch for a clean result.
Pants featured inseam pockets for a sleek, practical finish.
Pockets were understitched with a small running stitch to prevent the pocket bag rolling outwards.
Pocket bags were also bound with hand cut bias binding.
Pants feature a fly-front closure. All seams were finished by hand, including top stitching, under stitching and insertion of zipper.
Pick stitching was used on the blazer dress' front panels to encourage the multiple layers of fabric to sit cleanly and to prevent the lining from rolling outwards.
