A Work in Progress...Part 1

Over the next few weeks, we are going to follow through the production from start to finish of a couple of interesting cloths, of which Steed are making for two separate customers in The United States.

Both of these jackets are to be fitted on the current USA October trip and upon Edwin's return from the trip we will post part 2 of the "A work in progress" and show you the photo's from the fittings.

The first cloth is an exclusive London Lounge cloth called LLTW20 which is a beautiful blue Shetland tweed with a brown window pane, designed by Michael Alden, the creator of The London Lounge.

The style of this sports jacket is:

Single Breasted
3 roll 2 1/2
Side Vents
Flaps
Notch Lapel
2 Front Cuts

The second cloth is a 13oz brown triple check from J&J Minnis. The pattern number is 7704

The style of this sports jacket is pretty much the same as the London Lounge jacket but here are the details below:

Single Breasted
3 roll 2
Side Vents
Flaps
Notch Lapel
2 Front Cuts

As mentioned before we will be sure to put up the fitting photo's in a couple of weeks and will follow on with the rest of the process on these two, as well as looking at some other Steed creations throughout 2012.

Best,

Matthew DeBoise

  1. Perhaps a newbie question, but I'd be interested to know why there's a difference between the first and the second pattern, in which the checks in the second pattern run perpendicular to the bottom of the coat and pocket flap, and they are angled in the first pattern. Anything to do with the build of the coat or the customer, or purely aesthetic considerations?

  2. Hi Rogier and thank you for your question. I've just got back from the States, hence the late reply.

    It's partly to do with the style of the jacket, (more open quarters)and the way I've drafted the pattern for that particular customer (figuration, etc).

    Best,

    Edwin DeBoise
