I am section leader at the trousers plant in Marche.
I must check the garments at all stages of production.
The trousers must be checked in all their parts. Because we control the trousers from the lining to the pocket,
all the internal and external seams.
The trousers, as simple as they are, have very long phases.
It is not a 10-second phase, where I can just put the trousers down because the job is done. No.
For the pants, the phases are all two to two and a half minutes.
So, you must give full attention in those two minutes.
The trousers must be light, soft, they must be worn easily.
The trousers are formed at the ironing stage as well as the sewing stage.
It is a craft. Not a job everybody can do, it is a craft. You must dedicate yourself a bit because it is almost manual anyway
The trousers take on the look of what you want them to.
It is not a thing you put it there and print. You have to make it.
There are many people here who come to work and are proud and happy to do it.
I have been making trousers my whole life, almost 32 and a half years.
I like it because it is stimulating. It is true we do the same thing every day, but at the same time we do not.
Because every day you must get to that goal somehow.
Everything I do here reflects like what I am, in a way.
In the sense that I like what I do, it gives me satisfaction. Here, you feel like what you are doing is a little bit yours, too.
