Suit Construction & Canvas
Discover the six Atelier Mesure constructions and choose the one that suits your project.
The Art of Suit Construction
Atelier Mesure offers six constructions: semi-traditional, traditional half canvas, traditional full canvas, traditional full canvas hand-finished, deconstructed, and deconstructed hand-finished. Each construction is chosen with your advisor according to fabric, intended use, level of structure and desired drape.
- Six constructions: a complete offering for different uses and fabrics
- Advice: the choice is defined during your appointment according to your project
- Transparency: semi-traditional should not be confused with industrial fused construction without tailored canvas
