Custom Melissa (red linen)

Well when it came to looking for red fabric, this one jumped to us both. 100% Linen has become one of my favorite fabrics to work with, and what better application than a shirt dress. Designed for a wedding, but now worn to any night on the town, Melissa and TTENDEN.





Thank you Melissa for supporting Hand-made and Local!

Custom Evan Part: 2

 As for pair number 2, Evan chose a little darker and a little thicker weave denim. Fit is straight with a 16" opening hem. Back labels are now hand-sewn on, and customers name patched inside.
Not to mention the custom pocket he designed. These shall stand the test of time,
but when it comes to Evan, time flies, no complainin' here!




Thanks Evan for supporting hand-made and local!
Wear them well!

In the Shop for repair

While Evan dropped by the studio to place an order for another pair of custom denim, he brought along his 6 month old pair for a little repair. Mainly just denim wearing thin, nothing a little patch can't fix. And might i mention that these are almost an everyday worn pant. Notice the original pair at the bottom.
photographed today, a little over 6 months old.

...in it for the long haul...

Bespoke (part ten) The Final Days

 And here we have it. 700 + miles of commuting, 50 + hours of intense focus, (very hard at times) A mazda 626 forced into repair, 20 yards of the most incredible fabric i have ever worked with, 450 + yards of thread, and probably a million questions asked during the process!
The last few stitches that seperate the outside from the inside
But i can guarantee you this... yes it is no where near perfect, i am sure i can find ten more flaws than the general public, but this here, one-of-a-kind. hand-made Bespoke Custom Tailored Suit Coat, fits me better than anything out there! And i can give you a run down of the million hand stitches, not visible to the eye, and what they all do.
only a few basting stitches remain while waiting for buttons
 So as it comes to an end, aproximately 11 button holes left..... there is only one question in my mind..... what COLOR will the next one be?

The coats hang while not being worked on to take shape


Get Ready, were almost there!
