This technical analysis is prepared by the production and engineering desk at Mayser Textile Turkey. Based on over 30 years of high-volume garment manufacturing for international fashion houses and defense clients, this guide outlines critical operational standards, cost drivers, and execution steps.
Decoding Stitches Per Inch (SPI)
Standard mass-market shirts are produced at 12 to 14 SPI to reduce machine run time. Luxury shirts from Mayser Textile are sewn at 18 to 22 SPI, resulting in delicate, flat, and remarkably strong seams.
Single-Needle French Seams
Rather than raw overlocked edges on side seams, premium tailoring uses single-needle felled or French seams. This encloses raw fabric edges inside the seam, providing a smooth finish that never irritates the skin.
Reinforced Side Gussets
Pentagonal fabric gussets sewn at the junction of the front and back hem add structural reinforcement against stress, while serving as a signature mark of fine bespoke craftsmanship.
