Chore Coat Report - 002. The pattern has been plotted, cut out, transferred to heavier card stock, and cut out again (these are now our production patterns). Next step is we use these production patterns to trace and cut out all of the pieces, for each coat that was ordered, and then start sewing. This a super manual, slow process. We donโ€™t have the right space or best machines. I am overwhelmed, and to be honest, not really sure how weโ€™re going to pull this off, but just going for it and taking it one step at a time. My dream is to have our own factory one day. And Iโ€™ve realized there is no perfect moment. We just have to start, and take some enormous kicks to the nuts multiple times to figure it out. If we can pull it off and get through this, West Major will grow, be more fun, more successful, and will have something really special 99.9% of brands canโ€™t copy.
We got our pattern for the new desert chore coat plotted, printed, and transferred to this heavier manila card. Next we start cutting the fabric, and sewing ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Chore Coat Report. The fabric has arrived. Next step: plot the pattern, transfer it to some thick card stock, and start cutting โœ‚๏ธ
With selling apparel - you get returns. Itโ€™s apart of the business. Today was one of those days I had to process a bunch. Itโ€™s painful. We did have an exchange though. Which we LOVE. Sometimes people just need a different size. And it was a customer from NOSTR ๐Ÿ–ค
Thankful for the people following West Major on NOSTR
Weโ€™re going to set up the first western wear factory in Arizona and weโ€™re starting with this garment - the chore coat. Weโ€™ve got a bumby ride ahead ๐Ÿคน๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ image
