Most of Tom Ford’s garments are manufactured in Italy and Switzerland. A Tom Ford suit takes eight weeks to craft – and the process begins with the choice of fabric. Tom Ford’s wool fabrics are spun in England on 18th-century machines while its wool-silk and wool-cashmere blends are made in northern Italy. A tailor or seamstress devotes nineteen hours of exceptional care to ensure the longevity of the - tailored - garment.

Sartorial Details
Full Canvas Construction
A sartorial jacket - or coat - needs an interlining that will help give it shape and mold it. Canvas gives the item a tailored and crafted look. In short, it breathes life into it. Purely technical, canvas is made from either horsehair, wool, mohair or camel hair. It could also be a mix of them all, with varying thickness and weight. The canvas is stitched to the jacket, often by hand, thus making the canvas pieces 'floating' in the middle of the inner and outer cloth. This gives the jacket added flexibility. The canvas runs from the upper parts, all the way down to the end of the jacket. After you wear your canvassed suit for a while, it will begin to take your shape and look incredibly natural.
Roped Shoulders
A roped shoulder - or sleeve - head describes the bumped shape or ridge of the sleeve’s attachment to the shoulder. The higher it is, the more imposing the shoulder line appears. This can often be found in iconic British tailoring.
Long Milanese Buttonhole
The elegant, longer brother of the Milanese. With its thin and extra long gimp cord inside, this is one of the most challenging buttonholes to make by hand. Even a highly skilled tailor will take about 20 minutes to finish it.
Two-Button Closure
The jacket has a two-button closure which keeps the profile neat.
Barchetta Chest Pocket
The barchetta chest pocket is not only curved and blunted, as in the southern Italian style, but the corner is rounder right off.
Darts
The tailors adds two darts - think of them as pinched seams - to ensure the jacket’s body achieves a slim silhouette. The process, called mezzo punto riprese, is done entirely by hand.
Buttons and Buttonholes
5 functioning horn buttons at the end of the sleeve, with a larger 5th button opening - a quintessential Tom Ford Detail. Even this step, apparently the simplest, is treated with an abundance of detail. Attaching the buttons is a job that requires patience and must be completed to perfection.
Jetted Pockets
The first jacket pockets were sewn inside the lining or seams of garments, and are called “jetted” pockets. In their simplest form, they consist of little more than a slit. Suits that are the most formal, especially tuxedos, have no flap pockets altogether to give the piece a more streamlined look.
