Trousers arrive unhemmed. Suit sold as a 'set', i.e. jacket and trousers not sold seperately.

M.J. Bale's tailoring atelier is located in the northern Iwate prefecture of Japan. Here in the foothills of Mount Murone about 70 tailors sew, stitch and press M.J. Bale Collection and Custom suits. M.J. Bale has been working with this workshop in Iwate for more than a decade now. “I wanted to find the best makers in the world,” explains M.J. Bale Founder & CEO Matt Jensen. “Culturally the Japanese really explore that fine line between art and science. It’s that great combination of creativity, hard work, attention to detail and quality that is an enormous differentiator of Japanese craft."

Performance

Each Collection Suit is the result of over 50 hours of craftsmanship. The jackets alone go through over 200 separate stages of production, including a full-canvas construction and hand-sewn armholes, collars and cross-stitched buttons. The fabric is handcut by head cutter, Inari-San, who has been honing his craft for (almost) the last 50 years.
