When only the best will do
– experience the Sovereign Grade from L.S.N.K.
Company. Individually cut and sewn by only a handful
of master tailors, the Sovereign garment is a work of
art unto itself. All interlinings, canvas, and
buttons are imported directly from Italy. Our
exclusive Italian Paloma goat hair canvas creates a
soft drape and molds to your client’s body the
longer it is worn. Padded by hand it features over
300 stitches per side to secure it to the shell
cloth.
All shoulders are draped by hand
on individual bucks prior to sewing, to ensure a true
custom fit. Hand-crafted armholes, combined with a
true leaf-turned collar creates a fit only found in
hand tailoring. Hand-sewn button holes are the
hallmark of the Sovereign suit. Each jacket also
comes lavishly appointed with additional hand work
including the hand lapel hole with its own
boutonniere loop – a detail rarely found outside
the Italian Peninsula.
Our
Sovereign grade of tailoring is a combined experience
of over 150 years, coupled with the finest materials
anywhere make each sovereign suiting a true work of
art. The sovereign grade suit is an individually
designed and cut garment tailored by only a select
few master tailors. Trained at an early age in Italy,
Turkey, and the Far East these master tailors create
each garment using age old skills from their
respective countries. This ensures that each coat and
trouser is as individual as the man who wears it.
All
Sovereign jackets feature hand crafted collars with
leaf turned edges for perfect fit and alignment. Hand
stitching and hand pressing insure the collar will
fit like no other ! The tailoring alone takes over
forty minutes per collar. Exclusive hand basted
shoulder seams for impeccable style and drape. The
shoulder line of the garment is fundamental to the
silhouette of the finished coat.
New
Italian hand basted canvas fronts made of goat hair
and fine wool - cold water dipped for stability,
these new fronts are the most supple and soft hair
canvas made anywhere. Each canvas is individually
hand shaped and cut to each garment. this lengthy
process creates a coat that forms to your body. Hand
stemmed sleeve buttons sewn with a raised shank and
secured with sturdy waxed thread for that tailor made
finish.
Optional
hand mitered sleeve cuffs with cut through working
button holes for a truly bench made finish. Elegant
hand sewn buttonholes are sewn from both sides of the
cloth to protect the actual cloth from repeated wear
on all jackets. Natural horn buttons imported
directly from Italy resist chipping. Over twenty
detailed under pressing steps create a memory to the
fabric. Using heat, moisture and pressure, natural
fabrics will retain a memory. This ensures the coat
will retain its shape even after repeated wearing.
