Belvest

Each garment Belvest makes is immediately lavished with particular attention to detail. When chosen the fabric to be cut, Belvest checks it meticulously to ascertain that it is free of flaws that could create defects in the final garment. Belvest also checks its stability, to be sure that the jacket will retain the desired shape and size. Each jacket’s canvas is soaked for a day, so as to be more stable during processing and maintain the correct shape. Finally, the company always favors the use of natural materials, such as horsehair. This is how Belvest garments are destined to become little masterpieces of perfection. Sleeves and collars are also sewn on by hand. It is only when needle and thread are guided by the craftsman to follow the silhouette of the garment that the correct tension of the stitches be obtained so that, when the piece is worn, it  accompanies the body’s shape just like a second skin. Each step, down to the very last, is carried out strictly by hand by the craftsmen, in full compliance with the principles of traditional tailoring: from the ironing of the garment and pleats to the application of buttons and the finishing of the buttonholes.
