SKILFUL HANDS

Skill comes from experience

Leonardo da Vinci

How a custom suit is born

Perhaps no other job like that of a tailor has changed so little over the centuries… tailor has always used few, simple tools: meter, scissors, needle and thread until the 19th century, when sewing machines diffuse.
That must be why hard work, ability, passion, patience, experience and time count so much: a tailored jacket, cut and sewn at the tailor’s shop, needs almost 250 different operations, many of which handmade. A skilful, traditional series of gestures requiring at least 30 hours of work.
