This is for Bill! Happy Memorial Day, thanks for your service as a fireman!
A while back, Bill called the LexiWynn workroom and proposed we build his wife a custom LexiWynn handbag from his retired fire coat. Always open to a fun project we talked through purse styles and made arrangements for his coat to make's it way from Alabama to our Libertyville workroom.
Our Process:
1st a visit to our Cutting Department:
 |
Bill's Fire Coat...
 |
| Our Personal Shopper Guide... |
|
 |
| Cut |
 |
| A heavy duty brass zipper |
#2 Pre-Sewing on our Industrial Straight Stitch Machines. 1500 watt servo motors and 46lb nylon thread equal a high quality bag (of course handmade in the USA too!)
 |
| Yes that is quilted Nomex lining... Fireproof LexiWynn! |
 |
| Pockets, Labels and Zippers get placed in "pre-sewing" |
#3 Then it is on to Sewing. Our Industrial Walking Foot Machines using 69lb Nylon thread are used in this stage of our process.
 |
| I spy that Bill picked our Adrienne for Stephanie's bag... Cool! |
 |
| High night time visibility! |
 |
| Thick thread, a big fat "blade" needle and a strong motor required! |
 |
| Careful sewing from an experienced Operator too... |
