Weeks 2, 3 & 4 with Kingsley

So far my work has been quite piecemeal; when working on a project there will be pattern cutting, fabric cutting/ marking, construction, canvas construction, finishing tasks etc.

•Nothing is made from start to finish by 1 person. To make the best of each person’s skill set and time available part of the process may be done by a different one of us. This is what happened with the first Hamilton jacket we made. Every person in the studio had a hand in making parts of it.

• From what I know this is similar to traditional tailoring shops where the most senior tailors do cutting + carry out fitting & consultations. Junior tailors do finishing work & ironwork
