Step 1: Selecting the Hides
Everything starts with selecting high-quality animal hides. Leather can be sourced from cattle, sheep, or goats. The quality of the leather depends on various factors such as the age of the animal, the treatment of the hide, and how supple the leather is.
“For LET HER’s stretch leather pants, elastic leather is often chosen, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement.”
Step 2: Tanning
After selecting the hides comes the tanning process. Tanning is crucial to stabilize the hide and prevent it from spoiling or molding. During this process, chemicals are used to stabilize the proteins in the hide and convert it into leather.
The type of tanning process can affect the stretchability of the leather, which is important for LET HER’s stretch pants.
Step 3: Cutting and Pattern Design
After tanning, the hides are carefully cut according to the pattern design of the leather pants. This requires craftsmanship to ensure that the stretch properties are preserved.
The pattern must take into account the natural stretchiness of the material while providing a well-fitting silhouette.
Step 4: Adding Stretch Material
To make the leather pants truly stretchable, elastic material is added.
This is usually done at the seams or in specific parts of the leather pants, such as the crotch or waistband.
The use of high-quality elastic materials is important to ensure the durability of the stretchiness:
- Spandex (Lycra or Elastane)
- Polyester-Spandex Blend
- Cotton-Spandex Blend
- Nylon-Spandex Blend
Step 5: Sewing and Finishing
Seamstresses use specialized sewing machines to accurately assemble the leather pants. This requires precision and attention to detail to ensure that the stretchability is maintained and that the leather pants feel comfortable.
After sewing, the leather pants undergo various finishing processes, including the addition of details, buttons, and zippers.
Step 6: Quality Control
Before LET HER’s stretch leather pants leave the workshop, they undergo rigorous quality controls.
This includes checking the overall finish, the strength of the seams, and, of course, the elasticity of the leather.
