Craftsmanship
Every seam is a decision, not an accident.
How We Build a Garment
Small batches. Real hands. No shortcuts.
Every jacket starts as a flat pattern, cut by hand to account for how a boy actually moves, not just how he stands still for a photograph. Seams are pressed open at every stage, not just at the end, because that's the only way a shoulder line stays clean after the twentieth wear. Buttons are sewn through a reinforced shank, not just the fabric, so they survive a child's idea of “gentle.” None of this shows up in a product photo. It shows up two years later, when the jacket still hangs the way it did on day one.
Materials
Chosen for the wear, not the label
We favour wool-blend flannel, brushed cotton and washed linen — fabrics chosen for how they drape and recover, not just how they photograph. Every bolt is inspected for weight and weave before it's cut, and finished panels are tested for shrinkage, colorfastness and pilling before a single garment ships. If a fabric can't survive a hundred wears and a dozen washes, it doesn't make it into a Navaro jacket.
Hand-finished details
Buttonholes, linings and hems are finished by hand at the points that see the most stress and the most wear.
Fabric first
We choose cloth for how it moves and wears over years, not just how it photographs on day one.
Made to be let out
Generous seam allowances mean a jacket can grow with a growth spurt instead of being retired by one.
