A Glimpse into the World of Precision and Craftsmanship

Hello, this is Fukunobu from the GX Blog editorial team. I recently had the opportunity to witness a fascinating scene within our company, and I would like to share it with you.

Our company is responsible for factory interface operations related to our Easy Order services, which include suits, jerseys, shirts, coats, and accessories. We primarily focus on quality control and delivery management while also providing advice on technical aspects such as alterations and stitching. At the heart of our operations is a distinguished individual with decades of experience in the men’s fashion industry.

To provide some background, this individual began their career in the industry as an apprentice seamstress. During the height of Japan’s economic bubble, they worked for a renowned tailor, fitting thousands of bespoke garments. Over the years, they rose through the ranks to become a factory manager, gaining expertise in everything from handcrafted to machine-made clothing.

This experienced professional was recently seen diligently working, and the scene I observed was remarkable. As you can see in the image, they were meticulously plucking individual threads from the fabric.

This captivating moment exemplifies the dedication to precision and craftsmanship that defines our work. It’s a testament to the deep knowledge and skills that come from a long and storied career in the world of men’s fashion.

We are proud to have such dedicated experts in our team who consistently ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality. It’s these moments of commitment to excellence that make us confident in the products and services we provide to our customers.

Thank you for taking the time to read about this remarkable experience, and we look forward to sharing more insights from our world of fashion and craftsmanship in the future.

From an unusual and rarely witnessed scene, it was revealed that scarves were being meticulously crafted. Inquiring further, I discovered that in the bygone days, traditional tailors would fashion scarves from leftover fabric when they received orders for suits and coats. These scarves were then presented as gifts to their discerning clientele.

The concept of a cashmere coat paired with a matching scarf is undeniably elegant and a testament to the charm of this tradition. It’s a testament to the deep artistry and customer appreciation that were once at the heart of the tailoring world. This practice not only reflects the tailors’ skill but also the impeccable taste of their customers. It’s heartwarming to see these traditions continue to thrive, connecting the past to the present in our ever-evolving industry.

The scarves featured in the current images are being crafted horizontally, but ideally, they should be made vertically. Creating scarves from the vertical grain ensures that they don’t stretch unnecessarily.

Both ends of the scarves retain the fabric’s selvage, creating a design that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also eliminates the need for finishing work. This approach adds a unique and stylish element to the scarves.

Regarding the long end on the vertical side, each thread is painstakingly plucked to create fringe, a detail that adds a touch of elegance to the scarves. It’s a time-consuming process, but the results speak to the dedication and artistry that go into their creation.

The image above represents the “after” result of the meticulous process of plucking each thread to create the fringe on these scarves.

Receiving such a beautifully crafted matching scarf as a gift when ordering a coat or suit is a delightful thought. It adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness to the customer’s experience, making the bond with the ordered product even stronger. This kind of craftsmanship brings immense joy to the makers and strengthens the relationship with their customers. While it may not be a practice of yesteryears, it’s a rare sight in today’s world of fast and inexpensive made-to-order suits.

In the industry, there’s much to learn from our experienced colleagues, and it’s through preserving and continuing such positive traditions that we can make meaningful contributions to our field. We at Yamamoto are committed to striving for that very goal.

Please note that the scarf-making process we’ve showcased here is a personal endeavor and not part of our company’s order menu. Kindly understand and accept this disclaimer.
