Grading
We offer grading services for all types of leather garments.
From pattern making to grading, leather necessitates a specific seam allowance, which sometimes depends on the type of leather hide used. To the uninitiated, Grading is essentially the process of making the pattern of a jacket or a pair of pants into different sizes (Small, Medium, Large.. or 0, 2, 4, 6 etc..). We usually start by making the hard pattern for our designer or manufacturer client and then we translate it into the sizes needed.
(Please note that grading is different in leather than in fabric. The leather item will come out all wrong and incorrect if based on a fabric pattern and grading)
Grading is such a vital stage in the manufacturing of a leather garment that most of the work is done manually by our grading specialist, who strictly works on grading leather apparel and works closely with our experienced pattern maker. Though advanced design computer systems are here to assist in the process, the essential decisions are human made and require the expert eye of our 20 to 30+ years experience specialists. Our expert leather artisans have developed a pattern grading rule of body measurement method, body ratio guidelines, pattern grading rule library and always work to ensure every piece of the pattern is "graded" in the best possible way (from under sleeve to front facing to under collar, etc.).
All of the above guarantee the best possible fit for every style/size, every time, for every garment we make.
