Full Canvas Construction

In the world of bespoke tailoring, full canvas construction represents the gold standard for quality, durability, and comfort.

This traditional technique involves sewing a layer of horsehair canvas into the entire front of the suit jacket, from the shoulder down to the hem.

Unlike fused or half-canvassed options, full canvas allows the fabric to drape naturally, providing superior structure and a more elegant silhouette over time. Tailors often choose this method for its breathability and ability to mold to the wearer’s body with each use, resulting in a truly personalized fit.

While it requires more time and craftsmanship, the result is a suit that maintains its shape, resists wrinkles, and offers unmatched longevity.

For discerning clients seeking premium bespoke suits, full canvas construction is a key indicator of artisanal tailoring excellence. Whether you’re commissioning a custom business suit or a formal ensemble, understanding the benefits of full canvas tailoring ensures you’re investing in enduring style and quality.

Embrace the tradition of full canvas in bespoke tailoring and experience the difference in fit, feel, and finish.

Milanese buttonhole

The Milanese buttonhole is one of the finest expressions of artisanal craftsmanship in bespoke tailoring. Unlike machine-stitched buttonholes, this elegant detail is entirely made by hand, often requiring over an hour of meticulous work by a skilled tailor.

Positioned on the lapel’s left side, the Milanese buttonhole is not only functional, originally intended to hold a flower or decoration, but also a subtle indicator of the garment’s quality and attention to detail.

The process begins with the careful cutting of the slit, followed by the reinforcement with gimp thread, and then the wrapping of silk or cotton thread using fine, precise stitches to create a slightly raised, lustrous finish.

Its durability and refined appearance elevate the entire garment, embodying the philosophy of sartoria su misura, where every element is thoughtfully considered and executed.

Reserved for the most exclusive suits and jackets, this detail is rarely seen outside the world of true bespoke tailoring, making it a discreet signature of sartorial excellence and tradition.
