Savileroy - David Beckham’s Hand-Stitched Lapels

One of the most commonly asked questions asked while ordering a suit by our customers at SAVILEROY is "What is Hand Stitched Lapel?"
Well, a hand stitched lapel is a fine, interesting and subtle detail. A thread is delicately hand stitched along the edge of the lapel in either the same or contrasting color to the fabric in order to highlight the lapel.

Another day, another amazing suit worn by David Beckham. When you’re photographed in a great suit as often as Beckham is, you must feel a certain pressure to add customized details to your look in order to impress. Beckham does this in his sleep, of course. In this case, it’s the pick-stitching on his jacket lapels.

There isn’t any real functional value to pick-stitching, but because it’s usually seen as a sign of hand-tailoring, it’s also a mark of quality. Check out how the presence of hand-stitched lapels enhances the look of this otherwise standard slim-fit gray suit.

When you’re ordering your custom tailored suit from SAVILEROY, you have the option of adding hand-stitching to your lapels. I recommend owning at least one suit with hand-stitched lapels, if only because I know just how pleasurable it can be to wear one of the tell-tale signs of good tailoring on the outside of one’s suit.

Of course, the point of good tailoring is to create a shapely garment not to draw attention to such things as seams, structures and padding. Hand-stitching, however, is an exception. This is the one area where the sign of the tailor’s handwork is made completely visible. It’s definitely one of the most attractive details you can add to a suit.

At SAVILEROY we always recommend to opt for the hand stitched lapel which is a small but visible detail that subtly shows your suit was handmade especially for you. The hand stitching on the lapel looks especially striking when you are buying a plain or solid colored suit, verses your checks or tweeds. Hand stitching looks best on a plain navy, black or grey suit or even a suit with a herringbone pattern, adding a subtle texture around the collar of your bespoke suit.

David Beckham’s clothing, both his lines, and style are impeccable, and luckily it’s not too hard to imitate.
