Material selection affects garment construction, durability, and maintenance requirements. We work with a range of natural and synthetic fabrics, selecting materials appropriate to project requirements and construction methods.
Wool
Natural protein fiber with temperature regulation properties. Used in tailored garments, outerwear, and structured pieces.
Wool fabrics range from lightweight suiting to heavy coatings. Properties include natural wrinkle resistance and moisture management. Requires appropriate care and pressing techniques.
Cotton
Natural cellulose fiber with breathability and durability. Used in shirts, casual wear, linings, and everyday garments.
Cotton fabrics vary in weight and finish. Properties include absorbency and ease of care. Suitable for machine washing and pressing at appropriate temperatures.
Linen
Natural cellulose fiber with cooling properties and distinctive texture. Used in warm-weather garments and structured pieces.
Linen has natural wrinkle characteristics and requires appropriate pressing. Suitable for tailored garments and casual wear in warm climates.
Silk
Natural protein fiber with smooth texture and drape. Used in formal wear, linings, and delicate garments.
Silk requires careful handling and appropriate construction techniques. Properties include natural luster and temperature regulation. Care requirements vary by silk type.
Synthetic Fabrics
Manufactured fibers including polyester, nylon, and blends. Used in various garment types with specific construction considerations.
Synthetic fabrics offer durability and ease of care. Construction techniques are selected based on fiber properties and garment requirements.
Threads
Thread selection matches fabric fiber and weight. Options include polyester, cotton, silk, and specialty threads for specific applications.
Thread weight and type are matched to fabric and construction method. Thread compatibility ensures seam strength and appearance.
Material Consultation
We provide consultation on fabric selection, thread compatibility, and material properties. Discussion covers fabric characteristics, construction considerations, and care requirements.
Material selection affects garment construction methods, finishing techniques, and maintenance. We discuss options and provide information on material properties and construction implications.
For consultation on material selection or textile questions, please contact the atelier.
