A New Lease on Life: The Art of Coat Relining

Under the coat is the secret heart of it. It allows the exterior shell to slide easily over your garments and provides the coat with comfort, shape, and some luxury. Tearing, fraying or ageing of the lining damages the appearance of the coat and its performance. Our re-lining option is the delicate replacement of an aged interior, to provide a new life to your coat and retain it until several more seasons.

 

The first thing we do is to examine the outer shell and the internal structure of the coat. This demonstrates that the interlining canvas is still in good condition and allows us to repair minor problems prior to the incorporation of the new lining. We, then, display you a variety of quality lining material, the tough cupro and shiny rayon, the fine silk, and you choose a material and colour that suits the style of the coat and your preference.

 

The actual labour occurs in the fine tuning. We peel off the old lining and this helps us to pattern. Then the new stuff was cut to the same shapes precisely and pinned into the coat by hand, and it is important not to stretch the outer stuff when pinning, because this causes the seam to pull up. Then we stitch the new lining permanently and resew all the pockets and retain the shape of the coat. The interior is made smooth and perfect by a final press.

 

The result is remarkable. Re-lined coat is soft, easy, Polished in appearance, and maintains its shape. It is an environmentally friendly option that does not ignore a properly crafted garment, leaving you to possess a coat that might have some memories or simply appear classic. More than mere repair, re-lining gives the clothing a second life, a like new feel to it and the pleasure of imbuing your treasured garment to a second performance.

Tailoring is an entirely custom practise. An exclusive paper is hand-written, depending on your actual measurements and posture, and can be personalised in any manner with respect to style, cloth, and fit. Made-to-measure is a tailoring of a standard base pattern to your measurements, which does not give as much flexibility in silhouette as ready-to-wear, but provides a more customised fit.

In case of a new custom clothing, we tend to plan 2-4 fittings to make a gradual improvement of the fitting. With normal changes, a single fitting may be enough to hold the changes, then a last attempt of trying on to be certain of the changes being perfect.

It is easy to take clothes in, but it is only possible to take a garment out when there is enough excess cloth in the seams. In your consultation, we will consider the seam allowances and give you a fair judgment.

Absolutely. Our master tailors and seamstresses spend all their life working with a great variety of materials, both delicate silk chiffon and lace, and heavyweight leather and fur. We employ special methods and equipment that are used to produce the perfect outcome without destroying the fabric.

Depending on the complexity and time taken in performing a particular job, prices are set. A basic hemming service begins at a cheaper rate and more sophisticated restructurings such as acquiring a suit jacket are more complex. Our prices are clear and straightforward, and we do not give any surprises since we do not want to be caught unawares.

Please bring the shoes and under garment you will be wearing with the garment. This is essential in coming out with the right hem level, posture, and general silhouette. In case of suit fittings, take a shirt that you are going to wear.

We provide express services upon request in case of urgent changes. We will never lie on what is possible to do within a tight timeframe and will discuss possible ramification to the cost. Please call us as soon as you can get a slot.

Yes, we can. Most of our clients include inspiring photos or sketches of their own. These serve as a starting point to a consultation where we talk about how the design can be modified to suit your figure and be made reality with the help of the right fabrics and construction.

Any custom commission or large alteration order will need 50% deposit to start work on the project. The balance balance is payable on finishing fitting and collection. In case of smaller modification work, it is paid at once on completion.

We offer both options. Our selection of high-quality fabric swatches varies widely and we have a range of fabric swatches of famous mills. Alternatively, we welcome you to find your own fabric, and we are glad to advise on its appropriateness to your intended garment.

Every garment is given individual aftercare guidelines when collected. We usually suggest professional dry clean only in cases of need and steamer instead of ironing the clothes to preserve their integrity and shape, especially tailored suits and delicate objects.

We know that schedules are altered. We just require a minimum of 24 hours notice in order to rearrange or cancel a fitting appointment. This will enable us to give the slot to a different client. Bespoke project deposits are not refundable after pattern drafting or cutting of fabric has started.
