Inside the Stitch: How Lewis James Pieces Are Made to Last

In an environment of transient fads and rapid fashion, Lewis James symbolizes something greater. Our philosophy is based on the conviction that genuine luxury menswear craftsmanship transcends mere looks; it encompasses intention, tradition, and understated elegance. This philosophy is integrated into every fibre of our clothing, ensuring that each item is not merely worn, but valued for many years to come.

We believe that a piece of clothing's story begins long before it is stitched. It starts with the careful choice of the best natural resources. Sourced from luxurious Italian wools that flow with unparalleled sophistication, and groundbreaking recycled fibres made from recovered ocean plastic, our selection is guided by a dedication to quality and sustainability. These are more than mere fabrics; they represent the essence of a legacy.

The craft of clothing design at Lewis James merges traditional methods with contemporary creativity. In Portugal, our skilled artisans, celebrated for their age-old craftsmanship, bring every design to fruition. They recognise that durability is found in the specifics: a French seam providing a neat, enclosed finish on a shirt, a flat-felled seam for the sturdy strength of our pants, and meticulous pressing at every phase to guarantee a perfect, enduring shape.

This is not related to quickness; it's about purpose. We reject the mass production approach in favour of a deliberate, hands-on method. Each stitch, every button, and every hem reflects a commitment to quality. Through our careful attention to detail, paired with our dedication to enduring design, we produce collections that transcend seasonal trends. A garment from Lewis James is more than just apparel; it’s a commitment to a wardrobe designed for longevity.
