As a custom client commission, I had the opportunity to create two custom tour jackets for Sid Wilson of "Slipknot;" one in wool crepe, the other in poly satin. These jackets had to be constructed to withstand the heavy use of a highly active performance, while maintaining a polished and tailored look. Seams were double stitched with heavy duty thread, and panels were backed in silk organza, rather than fusible interfacing, to give a more couture look. The jackets were embellished with custom silk screened patches and topstitched, bias cut trim on the sleeves.
