In the world of bespoke tailoring, the structure of a jacket plays a crucial role in defining its elegance, comfort, and longevity. At MICHEL'S BESPOKE, we specialize in full canvas construction, which represents the epitome of tailoring excellence. Here’s why full canvas construction stands apart and represents the ultimate in garment craftsmanship.
Comparison with Alternative Constructions
Fused jackets, common in modern mass production, use a heat-activated adhesive to bond fabric to the lining. While cost-effective, fused constructions lack the durability and elegant drape of traditional methods and degrade over time, especially with dry cleaning. Fused jackets also tend to trap heat, causing excessive sweating and requiring frequent dry cleaning, which further degrades the fabric.
Half canvas jackets, featuring a canvas extending through the chest and lapels, offer a balance of structure and cost. However, their reliance on fusing in the lower half compromises the garment’s feel and longevity.
The Full Canvas Difference
At MICHEL'S BESPOKE, we champion the traditional full canvas construction, meticulously crafted with horsehair canvas throughout the entire jacket. This method, involving no fusing whatsoever, ensures a beautiful drape that looks exquisite and adapts to the wearer’s body over time, enhancing both comfort and fit. The natural horsehair canvas, sewn into the jacket, acts as a sturdy skeleton, allowing the jacket to breathe and move gracefully with the wearer.
We also incorporate wool hair cloth in the chest area, adding a natural spring and structure. This combination provides a flattering silhouette, with the fabric’s cording allowing us to add fullness precisely where needed. This craftsmanship ensures the jacket shapes to the body, creating an enhanced and refined fit.
