BALE JACKET
manufacturing story by a lovely couple

The 'Bale Jacket' is the most time-consuming item at J.Kim that consists of from 153 to 173 individual pieces.

We were eager to create a special moment for the garment, showcasing a story of creation and the efforts of talented couple behind it.

J.Kim continues to maintain handcrafted approach and pays tribute to unique talents, such as Svetlana and Andrei, who share the passion for pushing the boundaries in their lifework.

“When we first started designing the puffer jacket, it seemed pretty much impossible. We went through six revisions to come to the perfect solution.”
“One of Jenia’s trademarks is the use of vintage fabrics – she has a large collection. For each jacket, Jenia picks out a unique composition. Then, it is up for us to check the fabric for defects after the years of being stored in chests.”
“One jacket consists of about 170 parts, and many of them are nearly identical. So, we’ve created a system of numbered layouts.Me and Andrei gather all the necessary parts, label and send them to the tailors. Then, we receive the finished parts and start assembling.”
