All coat manufacturing typically refers to the process of creating formal evening wear jackets with tails, which are a staple in classic menswear, particularly for occasions like formal dinners, galas, or high-end events. Tail coats are characterized by their distinctive cut, with the back portion of the coat extending into two “tails” that are longer than the rest of the jacket. Here’s an overview of the manufacturing process involved:
1. Designing the Coat: The first step involves creating the patterns for the coat. This includes ensuring the proper fit, tailoring details (such as a structured chest, and waist shaping), and the signature tail design.
Fabric Selection: High-quality materials such as wool, satin, or velvet are commonly used for the construction of tail coats due to their durability, luxurious feel, and drape. For formal wear, fabric choice is paramount.
2. Cutting the Fabric: The fabric is spread out and carefully cut based on the pattern pieces, which include the body, sleeves, collar, and back pieces (which form the tails). The cutting must be precise to ensure a smooth fit and to avoid waste of expensive fabric.
3. Sewing and Construction: Sewing the Body: The body of the coat is first sewn together. The structure of a tailcoat often requires the use of canvases or other interlinings to give it a firm, structured feel.
Attaching the Tails: The back pieces are sewn into place, ensuring the tails are symmetrical and properly aligned with the rest of the coat.
Sleeve and Collar Construction: Sleeves are sewn in, and the collar is attached, with careful attention to making it sharp and clean.
Basting: Some coats undergo basting (temporary stitching) before permanent stitching is done to check the fit.
4. Fitting and Tailoring
A tailor will often try on the coat to ensure that it fits correctly and adjust the fit to the client’s measurements. This might include tweaking the chest, waist, and shoulder areas.
Adjustments are also made to the length of the tail and overall proportions.
5. Finishing Touches
Buttoning: A tailcoat often has a specific arrangement of buttons, such as a single row of buttons for the front. Some might also have decorative features like satin-covered buttons.
Hand-Stitching: The lapels, lining, and hems are often hand-stitched to ensure durability and a high-end finish.
Lining and Hemming: The interior of the coat is lined with a silk or satin lining, and the hem of the tailcoat is finished with careful stitching to maintain its shape.
6. Final Quality Check: The completed coat undergoes a thorough inspection for defects, such as improper stitching, asymmetrical tails, or issues with fit.
It is steamed or pressed to remove any wrinkles and ensure that it has a polished, crisp appearance.
7. Packaging and Distribution: Once the tailcoat is ready and passes inspection, it is carefully packaged for delivery to the client, whether it’s an individual customer or a fashion retailer.
Tail coat manufacturing, especially at a high level of quality, requires skill and attention to detail. Each garment needs to be tailored to perfection to meet the specific requirements of formal occasions.
