Jhane Barnes
Where other designers buy their fabrics from a mill, Jhane is one of the few menswear designers who controls everything from the weave structure to the yarn and the garment's silhouette or cut. It is one reason you won't find anything like the fabrics in her suits, shirts, pants, sweaters, socks, and neckties anywhere else.
"I design each piece right down to the fabric. I dye the colors, create my own warps and wefts, and develop my weave structures with the help of custom-made computer software," says Barnes. "This sets my collections apart and makes everything truly original. But it also means I need to be flexible when the finished fabrics don't turn out like the samples."
