All the gathers on the sleeves or the shoulder are done by hand using a 3-line gathering technique for better precision.

This tailored jacket demonstrates precise structural design through its use of layering and construction techniques. The garment is built using three fabric layers:

• Outer Layer (Main Fabric): A textured suiting fabric chosen for durability and refined finish.

• Middle Layer (Toile/Muslin): Provides strength and structure, ensuring the jacket maintains its sculpted form.

• Inner Layer (Toile de Lin): Offers stability and comfort while securing all layers together.

All pieces are meticulously aligned and attached, showcasing traditional tailoring techniques with a focus on balance, clean lines, and sharp definition. The asymmetrical cut emphasises modernity while retaining the discipline of classic tailoring.
