Day 7: The Back Hem Takes Shape

Making Back Hem

A coat’s hem is never merely a hem. Here, the back hem begins to take on its fullness—rounded, weighted, and stitched into quiet permanence. The vent corners are folded and secured by hand, enclosing the structured cotton interface added before, while long basting stitches hold the hem in place as the process unfolds.

Not flat. Not stiff. But rich, soft, and composed—an understated foundation of bespoke elegance.
