A Syed Bawkher suit is the result of many hours of expert craftsmanship. Every part of the construction is carried out the old fashioned way - by hand; from the cutting of the cloth to the stitching of the final button hole. Every suit carries over 20,000 individual stitches by hand – creating its unique structure. Our precious heritage is based on experience in knowing how to touch fabric, evaluate its drape and knowing how to translate this into a suit. With a tradition of over 90 years of highly skilled tailoring, the final product is a suit of unsurpassed fit, comfort and quality.

Canvas
This gives the jacket its shape and structure. Using only the finest materials, jackets are constructed using a ‘full’ canvas. The canvas and outer fabric are molded in the form of the wearer and basted before being sewn in place with minute skill stitches. This is called a ‘floating’ canvas and allows the jacket to move with its wearer. Normal jackets typically employ a cheaper ‘fused’ half canvas method of construction.

Lapels
The 'roll' on the lapels easily identifies Syed Bawkher jackets. Calling for a high level of craftsmanship each lapel has literally thousands of stitches that hold it in place and create the perfect roll.

Details
Syed Bawkher suits are recognized by the high quality workmanship and the details in the garments.

Button Holes: The result of high quality craftsmanship, all Syed Bawher button holes are painstakingly sewn by hand using the finest silk thread to create durability and a silky feel. Additionally all jackets come with working buttons at the cuff. Should you chose to place a flower in the lapel, there is a ‘flower keep’ to hold the stem in place.

Pockets: Whether it’s a simple besom or the traditional ‘ticket’ pocket, all Syed Bawkher pockets are identified through the crescent shaped stitching on either side. This serves to reinforce the seams and prevents the mouths from ‘gaping’ when heavy objects are placed in them.

Shields: Jackets come with underarm shields and trousers come lined and with a crotch guard – details found in only the finest suits.
