Stitching
Stitching
Stitching is the soul of glove-making. At FADI, our stitching department houses highly skilled craftsmen and craftswomen who combine decades of hand-sewing expertise with modern industrial sewing machines to produce seams that are strong, precise, and built to withstand the demands of real-world riding.

Our Stitching Standards
Thread Selection
We use high-tenacity nylon and polyester threads rated to CE seam strength requirements. Thread colour and weight are selected per panel type to ensure both strength and appearance.
Seam Types
We employ flat seams, saddle seams, and reverse seams depending on the glove zone. Saddle stitching is used for palm panels to minimise internal bulk and maximise comfort against the hand.
Stitch Density
Stitch density is controlled to CE specification — typically 8–10 stitches per centimetre on structural seams. Each machine is calibrated daily to maintain consistent density across production runs.
Hand Finishing
Finger gussets, wrist closures, and armour pocket assemblies are hand-finished by our most experienced team members for the precision that machines alone cannot achieve at small scales.
Machinery
- Juki industrial lockstitch machines for main panel assembly
- Heavy-duty leather sewing machines for palm zones
- Post-bed machines for three-dimensional finger stitching
- Cylinder-arm machines for wrist and cuff closure seams
- Bar-tacking machines for high-stress reinforcement points
Quality Benchmarks
- All seams tested to exceed EN 13594 seam strength requirements
- Zero exposed thread ends on any external seam
- Seam skip-detection inspection on every finished glove
- Machine calibration log checked at the start of every shift
- Seam peel and tensile tests on random samples per production run
