Zam Barrett Dialogue

[zamb]

Zam Barrett Suit

So we had a slightly interesting situation a few days ago, where I had a dialogue with a client of ours who is a member here on SZ
he has bought a lot of stuff from us, but surprisingly he said he did not know that we made suits.........

Its often interesting to me that the general perception of our brand seems to be that we make interesting high quality pants, some really good tops, bags, but really not much more.

Well, there is a lot of things that we do here, and tailoring is really a strong point of ours, to which we intend to place more emphasis in the near future as we make efforts to create better quality products and alter the perception of our brand to fit its original mission.

Here is a Custom suit we made for a client in Canada who is also a member of SZ,

baaad!


Ive gotten too fat for mine!
you gonna wet your pants this FW13 season
best Jacket we produced and its coming back in the new collection for FW13 with a lot of improvements

I loved this leather but it was a little too thick and took long to break in,
the newer version has a higher collar than this one that frames the wearers face better,
available in both goat and horse, a much softer more pebbled goat and also in an overlocked version in horse,

lots of leather coming this season, with a lot more tailoring and some really great fabrics
a lot of old classics updated but also a lot of new ideas..........

[cowsareforeating]

the canvas on the z-1 standards has started to show a lot of age.. kind of reminiscent of the distressing on the tent-fabric j pants that luca makes but it doesnt show up well on camera

[the breaks]

I have a question about this belt:

http://shop.zambarrett.com/accessories/fw12-slim-belt-black

The belt is so thick that I'm unable to fold the loose end under the buckle (like in the picture) when worn. And I tried hard, broke a sweat and everything :D

I can barely do it when I'm not wearing it but even then the leather is so thick I have to really work it in there.

Is it supposed to be like this and is there anything I can do about it? It's really nice but I can't wear it because of this problem :(

[jskidder1]

I have the same issue with that belt. I can eventually get it tucked, but it creates an enormous bulge under my shirt that really alters the drape of my tops. Not sure if it will break in to lay properly or not. I think the portion of leather that wraps around the hinge needs to be shaved down a bit to help it lay flat and tuck more easily, but that would require unstitching it.

[the breaks]

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm afraid it would cost a mint to do... I've been considering doing it DIY but that's almost a guaranteed disaster because I'm really shit at stuff like that :)

[cowsareforeating]

^ so i have the siamese belt, and its gotten a little better after wear...

anyway, to create the most "space" for the leather to thread thru, you want to insert almost perpendicular to the slot... so however you can get that to work on your waist..

ive been wearing one of z's creations inside out because the seams are so pretty:
