You can tell a well-made shirt by details almost no one notices: a collar that sits properly, even topstitching, clean buttonholes, stripes that match at the seams.Getting them right is how we spend our days.

The Factory

Eight stages, all under one roof.

Pattern room: cutting marker on screen, plotter and a rail of samples

I.Pattern room

Every style is worked out here: patterns cut and graded on Lectra, then the marker planned and plotted.

Hand cutting through a lay of white fabric

II.Cutting

The fabric is laid up many plies deep, then cut by hand, right on the line.

III.Preparation

Collars, collar stands and cuffs are fused, stitched and turned before assembly.

IV.Assembly

Shoulders, collar, sleeves, side seams: the shirt comes together one station at a time.

V.Quality control

Every loose thread is trimmed, then the shirt is measured and checked flat. Anything that isn’t right goes back for rework.

VI.Pressing

Each shirt is pressed by hand with steam, starting with the collar and cuffs, where the eye falls first.

VII.Folding

Neatly folded to each customer’s standard.

VIII.Packing

Bagged, labelled and boxed to each brand’s instructions.

Robots for the repetitive operations.

Pockets, flaps, collars, back pleats: on a long run, a template unit puts every stitch in the same place, from the first piece to the last. Anything that needs a trained eye and hand stays with our machinists.
