Shorts

Shorts

From tailored formal shorts to casual shorts, we offer a diverse range of sewing threads which suit all budgets. The type of thread utilized will depend on fabric weight, the construction of the load bearing seams and the stitch definition required (topstitching).

Approximate thread consumption is 70 metres. Alternative thread types may be used depending on required final quality. The thread size will determine the choice of needle size.

For more information, check out our recommendations below.

The sewing thread recommendations laid out above are intended as a guide to aid the construction of garments with good quality seams. As garments of the same generic type differ in terms of fabric substrate and construction, and both making up methods and post make up processing can greatly vary, these recommendations should be viewed as a good starting point for thread selection.

Garment specific recommendations for thread and needle selection as well as accurate thread consumption figures and onsite technical support can be obtained by contacting your local Coats’ office.

These recommendations and consumption figures are intended as a guide only and are given in good faith but without warranty or liability on the company or its employees.
