“The trousers are offered with a hand sewn lap seam, and have some other nice touches, too, like the shape of the single button bearer on the fly, flaps for braces, and holster shaped side adjusters…”

— Simon Crompton, Permanent Style

Once cut, the trouser is basted by hand before the side seams are machine-sewn to impart the optimum strength required in a pant. Only then are the trousers given six hours of manual pressing, to lock the construction into place.

The entire process employs a team of six: pattern maker, cutter, two operators to baste and two finishers to press and complete the operation. It’s a lot of work but ensures the next pair ordered will be a perfect replica – and all our clients need do is select the cloth.

The entire process requires the involvement of a dedicated pattern maker, cutter, two operators to baste, and two finishers to complete the operation by hand.

However, the process of ordering additional trousers — with the trouser pattern on file — is simply a matter of the client selecting cloth.
