All our shirts use bespoke
tailoring, and are hand cut using paper patterns which are kept on file for quick
ordering.
We
have a selection of more than 150 fabrics imported
fabric from the world's best mills, mainly Italian pure cottons two-ply which
are equally as fine as the Swiss and English cottons.
Designs
Matched The fabric designs are matched exactly at
all points where the different parts of the shirt meet.
Buttons
sewn with Crossed Lockstitch Our buttons are cross-stitched
onto the shirt by hand to ensure that they are anchored as firmly as possible.
20
Stitches to the Inch Sewing All our shirts are sewn
with 20 stitches to the inch. We, therefore, achieve fine, strong and more elegant
seams.
Single
needle stitching Our Men’s shirts are sewn throughout
using a single needle sewing machine not dissimilar to that which you would use
at home. This is the traditional but a costly way of doing things. It produces
very fine but very strong seams.
Spare
buttons Each shirt comes with spare buttons.
Removable
Collar Stiffeners Collar stiffeners are included
to keep your collar flat and smooth. These should be removed when washing and
ironing the shirt, then replaced to keep the shirt’s collar in prime condition.
A spare pair of collar stiffeners will be supplied free of charge at Fil'Harmonie.
Horizontal
Bottom Button Horizontal bottom button allows movement
across your hips.
Two
Piece Split Yoke The Yoke across the shoulders of
our shirts can be constructed in two distinct halves allowing them to come together
at an angle thus replicating the sloping nature of men’s shoulders. This
creates a perfectly smooth line across the shoulders, which is not possible with
a single piece of fabric.
