Pick or No Pick

Some of you may have noticed a visible stitch on the exterior of certain jackets.

This visible stitch, often found on high-quality outerwear, serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. From a practical standpoint, this stitch reinforces the seams of the jacket, ensuring durability and longevity. It adds an extra layer of strength to the garment, especially in areas prone to wear and tear. Moreover, this visible stitch has become a design element in its own right. Fashion designers often incorporate exposed stitching as a stylistic choice to add a touch of uniqueness and character to the jacket. It can create a contrasting detail that draws attention and elevates the overall look of the piece. The presence of this visible stitch highlights the craftsmanship that goes into creating the jacket. It showcases the attention to detail and precision involved in its construction. This subtle yet significant feature underscores the quality and authenticity of the garment, distinguishing it from mass-produced alternatives. In conclusion, the visible stitch on the outside of jackets is not just a simple embellishment but a deliberate design element that combines functionality with aesthetics, reflecting the artistry and expertise of the makers behind the garment.


At Newman Exclusive, I have often been asked about this feature. Some of the common questions are:

Why is the stitch on the outside?

Is the jacket completed?

Is the stitch just a cosmetical feature or does it actually have any purpose?

Well, in olden days, pick stitching did serve the purpose of making sure that all the inner layers of the suit jacket were being held together properly.

However, nowadays, it's more about showing off more customization to your custom-made, tailored suit. Plus, do keep in mind that any hand-done work on your tailored suit jacket and/or pants adds to its production time and cost, giving it more character.

I am sure there are many other questions that may arise regarding this feature, such as how pick stitching enhances the overall look of the garment or the different styles of pick stitching available in bespoke tailoring. Exploring these aspects can help you appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into creating a truly unique and personalized garment.


Goes without saying that when choosing Made to Order suits and shirts, you have the freedom to select according to your preferences. Another important aspect to consider when ordering your custom-made suits is Handpick Stitching.
