HANDMADE IN SCOTLAND
As the last remaining supplier of handmade raincoats in Scotland, Alexander Manufacturing and our vastly experienced coat-makers utilise centuries old techniques to develop fully functional weather-proof articles across a number of materials. A technique pioneered by Thomas Hancock in 1843, this patented process revolutionised waterproof outerwear, marrying tradition with innovation.
THE PROCESS
01 - PATTERNS
Our highly skilled and experienced in-house pattern makers meticulously craft and design patterns bespoke to any project, ensuring precise measurements and optimal fit for each coat.
02 - CUT
Expert pattern cutters are trained to carefully and precisely cut the fabric according to the developed patterns, maximising efficiency and minimising waste.
03 - HAND GLUE
The Alexander Manufacturing coat makers then apply specifically formulated adhesive by hand, ensuring seamless bonding of fabric layers for superior durability and waterproofing.
04 - SEW
With unparalleled precision and care, our highly skilled seamstresses stitch together the components of the coat, combining functionality with elegance.
05 - TAPE
Each seam in then sealed with vulcanised rubber tape, enhancing and ensuring the coat's waterproof properties and ensuring long-lasting protection against the elements.
06 - FINISH
Each garment then undergoes meticulous inspection and finishing touches using the original tools, including trimming excess materials and reinforcing critical areas of durability. Each coat is a testament to Alexander Manufacturing's commitment to quality and craftsmanship, offering unparalleled protection and timeless style.
