What are the responsibilities and job description for the Alterations Finisher position at Henig Furs, Inc.?
Location: Corporate Office - Montgomery, Alabama (In-Person Only)
Position Type: Full-Time/Experienced Artisan
We are looking for a highly skilled Alterations Finisher to handle the crucial final assembly and restoration phase of our luxury outerwear. While our furriers handle structural pelt cutting, the Finisher focuses on the intricate interior work, trims, and final closures. You will ensure that altered, shortened, remodeled, or monogrammed fur garments are seamlessly put back together with flawless craftsmanship.
Key Responsibilities
- Lining Attachment: Hand-sew or machine stitch interior fabric linings back into fur garments after structural alterations or monograms are completed.
- Precision Edge Work: Beautifully finish the bottom hems of furs and sleeve cuffs, ensuring no raw edges, internal padding, or structural stitches are visible.
- Hardware & Closures: Repair, replace, or precisely relocate specialized fur hooks, loops, rings, buttons, and hidden pockets.
- Hand-Stitching & Detailing: Hand-stitch borders, facing, and hidden elements so that the lining "floats" perfectly inside the fur without pulling, bunching or distorting the garment's shape.
- Restoration: Replace worn-out linings, repair interior fabric tears, and assist in general garment restyling and transformations.
Position Requirements
- Advanced sewing mastery, including extensive experience with hand-stitching (specifically blind stitching) and operating industrial sewing machines.
- Specialized knowledge of working with heavy fur garments alongside fragile linings without catching the fur hairs in the stitches.
- Superb problem-solving skills to figure out clean, premium finishes on complex alterations (for example, converting a full length coat into a vest or complete remodel).
- Immense patience, steady hands, and the physical stamina to work with heavy outerwear.
- Ability to work independently and maintain high precision in a fast-paced production environment
