Those buttonholes may have surpassed ALT's.

Of course. This new tailor of mine does full canvassing and super buttonholes.

Those are pad stitches. You will see them again later once my navy suit is completed. But triple the stitches.

Shoulder pads? So is that a shot of the inside or outside?

I'm pretty sure that apart from Loky and me, nobody on this forum knows what that pic is about.

That pic suggests a suit that requires about 3X more labour and skill to get right than your standard fuse job. It is the sign of a hand-made garment.

Sounds good to me. My work suit has puckered up and bubbled at the front around the pocket area. Not good.

That was probably fused with an iron, not a steam press.
Traditional suits don't even have any glue in them. Apart from that, their lapels and collars are given shape through the small little stitches you see above. Takes days, requires concentration, and tires the eyes and fingers. Until 3 decades ago, it was the defacto method of make of Malaysian tailors. It has all but disappeared. We're all hoping that the sifu up north Rubinacci will be using for Loky's suit is not dead or anything, and not infirm and crapping his diaper every hour, etc. |
