Blandin Delloye’s mastery of production methods for the different pieces that make up a formal wardrobe is expressed through every stage of confection, and every type of assembly, from iron-on to full interlining, creating tailor-made pieces of unrivalled quality. The expertise of our workshops, which produce our shoes and other accessories, ensures that our know-how doesn’t stop at suits and shirts.
We rigorously select raw materials of the highest quality, guaranteeing long-lasting, refined products. With our expertise in pattern-making and our commitment to providing you with quality styling advice, we create demanding pieces that combine elegance and comfort.
Jacket construction
Fused construction
Fused construction
From made to measure business suits to casual or wedding suits, we offer different types of construction. Fused assembly is the most affordable, yet still offers a high level of finish. The front of the jacket, from shoulder to hem, is covered with a high-temperature thermobond. What's more, all reinforcements between pieces and pockets are also thermobonded.
Half Canvas
Half Canvas
Thanks to its natural fabric and stitched back, half canvas garments are more comfortable to wear than iron-on garments. Today, it's a good compromise between traditional and fused fittings. As with full canvas mounting, half canvas mounting brings durability.
Full Canvas
Full Canvas
Immediately recognizable by its suppleness and lightness, it will stay with you longer and best enhance the quality of your fabrics, whether heavy and made to last, or light, like silk. Full canvas construction features an exceptional method for assembling reinforcements.
Reinforcements are sewn to the main fabric, allowing greater flexibility between each of the jacket's component parts. Although more expensive, not least because of the manual labor involved, Blandin & Delloye's traditional assembly is one of the most affordable on the market for comparable quality.
The made to measure
Made-to-measure pattern-making is a key element in the success of a custom-made piece. As part of the Blandin & Delloye academy, all Blandin & Delloye advisors are trained on arrival and throughout the year to be the best and most accurate in gathering information for optimal pattern-making.
From a practical point of view, the Blandin & Delloye consultant takes body measurements with a tape measure. Then the customer tries on templates. The aim of this stage, which is fundamental to the measuring process, is to precisely define the desired cut and identify the customer’s posture and morphology (position of shoulders, pelvis, stance, protruding shoulder blades, bowed legs…).
The world's best drapers
Blandin Delloye’s expertise is also based on its choice to work with the finest drapers in Italy (Biella region) and England (Huddersfield). The fabrics we use are selected according to the quality of their raw materials (wool, mohair, silk, cashmere, cotton, linen… and their weave).
From thousands of references, we select between 500 and 700 that we stock in our workshop. At the same time, we offer over 6,000 fabric references for cutting.
The main drapers we work with are : Vitale Barberis Canonico, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Dugdale, Reda, Loro Piana, Tolegno, Huddersfield, Marzotto ….
