In the world of bespoke tailoring, there are many techniques that set a custom-made garment apart from mass-produced clothing. One of these specialized methods is pad stitching — an essential hand-stitching technique that brings structure, shape, and character to tailored pieces. Although it often goes unnoticed once the garment is complete, pad stitching plays a critical role in the fit and feel of a well-made suit, jacket, or coat.
