Tailoring is all about heritage handwork.
We still make our suits the old-fashioned way, cutting each suit by hand, one at a time in our workshop in Denver, Colorado, and sewing the the suits by hand with hand prick-stitching, handmade silk buttonholes and pocket tacks.
But nowhere is the unique quality of handwork more obvious than in our westernwear. We draft all of our artwork directly onto the patterns, using a pencil, and all of the blanket-stitching and chain-stitching is done by hand, one stitch at a time, so that (unlike with modern computerized embroidery) each stitch follows the contour and direction of the stem, flower, or butterfly that we are embroidering.
We love to work with motifs from the natural world and to express the life and heritage of the client through the motifs he chooses.
Our pieces are made from classic wool gabardines and other heritage materials—-the juniper vest is made from an English wool tweed.
We fit each suit using our muslin fitting method, where we cut and sew a prototype of the piece from cotton and draw the embroidery on. Often we fit this by mail. But, in person or by mail, a perfect fit is guaranteed.
We make these pieces for the stage, for award shows, and for weddings and other special events. Because each piece is made one-at-a-time, be sure to let us know about your event as soon as possible so that we can discuss the process.
