What is “Kusetori” used for high quality slacks with a beautiful silhouette?

Slacks” are so profound that some craftsmen say they are even more difficult to tailor beautifully than tailored jackets. Among them, “ironing out” used for slacks with beautiful silhouettes is said to be a luxurious process that is rarely used for ready-to-wear clothes because it is time-consuming and inefficient in production. Do you know what exactly is involved in the “kusetori” process?

Ironing” is the process of ironing parts in advance!

The “kusetori” process is the process of ironing out the parts of a garment before sewing them together, utilizing the thermoplasticity of the fabric. This technique is used for high-end tailored items such as slacks and tailored jackets. This creates a three-dimensional effect even in areas where there are no darts or seams in the fabric, and enables a beautiful silhouette that better fits the complex human body. Since this ironing technique must be done for each individual part and is a highly sophisticated technique that only a limited number of skilled craftsmen can perform, it is almost never used for ready-to-wear garments due to its low production efficiency. It is a luxurious process that is used only for full-order items and high-priced items offered by high-end tailor brands.

The process can only be applied to thermoplastic fabrics, and in most cases it is applied to wool. There are brands that offer slacks with the “kusetori” process on the crotch for as low as 20,000 yen through corporate efforts, so if you want to experience the beautiful silhouette created by the “kusetori” process, please check them out.
