The beauty and challenge of garment dying : a difficult and somewhat unpredictable artisanal process, taking an almost finished garment as a blank canvas to give it unique depth and texture.
In these pictures and video, you can see the transformation of the Fireman Jacket from its original French cotton/linen herringbone & twill patchwork, to its final complex color and nuances.
The final dye result will always have uneven spots, that’s the nature of the artisanal process and working with natural fibers. It is part of the beauty of handmade steps, opposed to the flat, standardized, industrialized garment production.
After this stage, the hand-sewn buttonholes will be added, as well as the rivets, buttons and label.
This piece as well as many others will soon be available at LECLAIREUR Sévigné.
