Autumn 2010
The quality of a shirt is the sum of many details. The greater the attention to these details, the greater the quality. Each Stenströms shirt consists of 23 components that are cut and assembled with exacting precision. The process involves 60 distinct operations that are checked at five critical inspection stations. Over the course of a century, the comfortable, elegant fit has been perfected by skilled designers, cutters and tailors.
A soft, comfortable collar. The collar and collar band undergo 25 separate operations to achieve a soft, comfortable fit. Prepressing and extra stitching prevent shape and finish from being altered by repeated laundering and ironing. At each stage of production, meticulous quality checks are performed, stitches measured and loose threads removed.
Vented cuffs with buttons and a special edging for extra strength.
All buttonholes are sewn with 114 stitches. 35 cm of thread is used for each buttonhole. Most buttons are hand-made from genuine, highest quality mother of pearl. For added strength, the buttons are sewn on in two distinct operations.
The sleeves are sewn on with single-needle stitching whereby each seam has at least six stitches per cm – elegant and with excellent durability.
Extra-soft interlinings in collar, cuffs and front placket.
Extra-fine stitching gives discreet seams and extra-long wear. Fine, double stitching produces optimum durability and elegant lap seams along the sides.
