Hello everyone.
Only two days left in August!
Although there are still hot days, it feels like autumn is approaching with each rain. I am also looking forward to thinking about what clothes I will wear in autumn!
Our store has new fabrics in stock for autumn and winter.
We have also introduced the fabric in The Cloakroom Journal, so please take a look.
This time the story is about Ha-sashi.
If you're a suit lover, you probably already know this! It's used to sew the wool interlining onto the lapel (the lower collar of the front body) one stitch at a time.
This is a photo of the left side of the body after stitching.
The lapels roll beautifully!
The finer the stitching, the more space there is in the wool core, and the stiffer it becomes. The suits we recommend have a soft look. To create a soft impression, we decide the stitching by touching the outer fabric and the core.
The fabric used this time has a moderate amount of stiffness, so the stitches are about 7mm.
Once you've decided on the stitch, it's all a matter of thought...
Without thinking, I move the needle forward at the same pace.
If you don't concentrate while sewing, the stitches will become crooked or change direction.
At the tailoring factory, the stitching is done with a special sewing machine. Sewing machines have their merits, and hand sewing has its merits.
It takes just 1-2 minutes to embroider on a sewing machine, but it takes about an hour to embroider one side by hand.
As a result, you can enjoy the soft lapel roll and the fluffy feel that can only be achieved through hand sewing.
Although it may not be obvious at first glance, Bespoke products involve a lot of hand stitching and careful attention to detail.
This time I talked about Ha-sashi, but there is much more to it than that, so I will write about it on my blog again.
I'll be off now.
