Manufacturing facility-made fits will usually end this a part of the lapel with an AMF machine, made to mimic a handsewn ‘choose sew.’ However these are accomplished in such a means that I consider they’re authentically accomplished by hand. Whereas some factories do a hand-crafted choose sew, they don’t do that type, which leads me to consider these are custom-made.”
