Whitcomb & Shaftsbury is unique in that they offer two programs: fully made in London or your pattern drafted and cut in London, while the coatmaking is done by master tailors in India. The second keeps costs down, making them one of the best values in London-based bespoke.

It’s starting to look like a coat! #handmadewardrobe

the authoritarian urge toward coatmaking

We broke out the embroidery thread for this one. I wanted a little crafty touch. 6 hours of hand stitching later, we have functional (even/level) pockets.

From muslin to wool! The Phoebe coat’s biggest difficulty so far is cutting all the pieces and ‘surprise interface’ or fabric tape. Happy with how this is coming along though as it progresses!

I’ve started an intense sewing project and just used the last of this interfacing. Time to restock. Hrm. And the shop is currently closed. Anyone have a good source for awesome weft interfacing - tailoring supplier? 🇨🇦 ideally since that’s where I live #garmentsewing #womancavethesheshed #coatmaking
