New blog post up! 🗣📝 ✨
Head over to the “news” link at our website at www.TheFactory8.com to read more about the benefits of small supply chains in the time of COVID. Brief intro below:

“There are many benefits to maintaining a small supply chain, but since the advent of COVID19 many of them have increased considerably. In fact, the shift towards regional or even national garment production supply chains may be here to stay, as the investments required to switch mean there is unlikely to be any reversal in “nearshoring,” or the act of moving manufacturing closer to your target markets. As a domestic US-based manufacturer ourselves we have long since witnessed these benefits, among which include shorter leadtimes, higher-quality goods, and more ethical and sustainable practices....”

...so excited to share our new styles for our @shopjoeywolffer Re-Worked collection seen here at our NYC based designer/productions office! Re-Worked is really a dream come true for me. I have always loved vintage and sustainable fashion. We use salvaged pieces/dead stock/vintage and combine it with new fabrics! Everything will start to be in store/online between 2-4 weeks so stay tuned! #sustainablefashion #madeinNYC #wolffer

This is something that challenged the fuck out of me. Going in the dark, building and praying, adding one element on top of the other. Till the last second I was not sure it’s even possible, but here we are. JR is an amazing person to be pushed and cheered by @thefactory8 I would have not be able to execute that without the contacts support of the design and development team.
The most exciting part of this project is the FIT. All fittings were done virtually and you can see the glove like fit. As a Tailor, there is nothing that makes me happier than nailing the fit. .

What an incredible journey and vision we were so honored to be a part of. Working on a concept from start to finish with our clients and collaborators embodies its own world, but there’s nothing like seeing the pieces come to life on their own.

#repost via @mad_tailor_leather Wearable Art. The curse and the best part of my occupation is, that I’ve no idea of what’s next. It’s someone’s vision I try to see and make it happen. Plenty of experimenting and learning happened during that build. From making the custom dressform @mannequinmadness thank you finding me that Brazilian Rear End…..spine and ribs, to molding that heavy leather without any seams. Big Thank you to JR! @thefactory8 excellent development team and communication throughout the development. #fashion #artistsoninstagram #leatherart #couture #style #design #sketch #3d #tailor #craft #bulgaria #varna #montana #newyork #nfw #leatherartisan #jobdone

Throwback to conducting a fitting in our old space

Throwback to conducting a fitting in our old space. This was a first fit muslin, not an actual sample, so we chopped right on into it to get the right fit and drape the style required.
