- Head cutter, Tom Mahon welcomes you to the Redmayne workshop to discuss what's really important in Savile Row bespoke tailoring.
Read Mr Mahon's blog about the suits here - savilerowsuit....
I've had the privilege to cut a couple of suits for a long standing client's two sons. Two charming young men who are very grateful to have the opportunity of stepping into the world of bespoke tailoring. As usual this little video isn't of the highest quality and excuse me for wearing my "sitting drums". I hope you learn something non the less and the sound does improve as we go on, unlike my posture. I really do need to stop spending my time bent over a cutting board.
There is nothing more beautiful and elegant than a double-breasted suit, and if it is cut by Tom Mahon even better! Even if I am 6000 miles away and I am not very well-off I cannot help but watch these videos and enjoy the extraordinary talent of Mr. Mahon.
So kind, thank you. Best, Tom.
They will be two elegant young men, wherever they wear those suits.
I’m still enjoying a charcoal grey Snowy River Merino, in 12oz, 15 years later. It just gets better with age.
Great stuff Tom. You have taught folks (that bother to listen) much over the years.
Thats very kind of you. Thank you for watching. Best, Tom.
Missed these videos so much!
a new video by Tom!!!!
yes!!! automatic like and re-watch mode!
Too kind :)
Good sir, I was talking to my wife about you just a couple of days ago! I was talking to her about bespoke and she asked how much it costs. I told her; but, the caveat was, she listened to why a bespoke suit costs so much, and why it's essentially: a piece of art. As a Scouser living in the South, I am drawn to the Northern way you espouse Savile Row.
The coat/ suit looks beautiful. Long live the double breasted jacket!
Regards
Tony
As a scouser living far more south than you (Madrid) I love this fella, I have watched loads of Saville Row videos and when I am in a position to commission bespoke suits, hopefully soon, it will be Tom who will be making them. Genuine fella.
Dear Sir, That's extremely kind of you. Pleased to be a Northerner ;) Best, Tom.
My god those are beautiful coats. The darker grey, gosh.
Absolutely Immaculate
Always a pleasure to watch, listen, and learn.
So glad to have a new video from you!!!
Gorgeous suit. Love it.
Love the passion you have Thomas..
glad you're back. I like the light grey one the best.
Absolutely artistry. Beautiful details at the end. Thank you.
Beautiful suits. You are quite right when you say 'a work of art'.
Thank you!
This suit looks amazing. Congratulations.
Fabulous craftsmanship
Great to see an update
Yes!
Simply elegant
It is a beautiful coat.
One day!
Fantastic art!
Thank you very much! Best, Tom.
Was waiting patiently for more content from you Tom, please be more active on here 😊
Working on it! Thank you for watching. Best, Tom.
@@savilerowtales I really loved the cloth video that clients purchase for their suits, would love to see more of that
Wow these are beautiful! I’m a lover of double breasted as well, have 2 and just commissioned the 3rd one as a sport coat. Can really see your A&S lineage here with the lapel width/shape and the shoulder and drape. Pure classic!
Thank you. Best, Tom.
great work! Can we also have something on ladies' jackets please?
suggestion: from 9:25 or so, you're doing stuff with the garment with no talk. i guarantee you that if you do a 30 minute video just like that, just the work with no talk and no music, just the sounds of the work itself and label it ASMR, you'd get a lot of views from the ASMR community.
Very good point. We'll post a calming pattern cutting video soon. Thanks for watching.
Best,
Tom.
@@savilerowtales thanks for replying to a mere admirer....🙂
It's bank holiday, I'm in my workshop, making a uniform. I often watch your videos whilst working, te comments about burning the midnight oil etc. I completely relate to.
ps. your double breasted jackets hang so beautifully when unbuttoned.
Nothing changes Mark. Keep up the good work. Best, Tom.
Hey Tom! We've talked through email over the years. (I used to have a different name.) I think about 17 years since you started your original blog? I just had a few questions.
The way you described the buttoning style, I was expecting four buttons total with two to close in front, or 4x2, when it was actually six buttons with two to close or 6x2. (Good choice on their part!) Guess I misunderstood. I've seen other ways of describing a double breasted buttoning style, how would you describe it to customers?
I also noticed both suits had only a left lapel hole when I'm used to seeing English bespoke double breasted with a lapel hole on both sides. Is it typical for Redmayne to do it this way or just a question of customer preference?
Thirdly, will we get to see you make any ladies' suits here? How does the process differ if at all? I know some of my male coworkers have been nervous about measuring women for our MTM service, when honestly it's not really a big deal. We know that they're not being perverted by taking our bust and seat measurement!
I'd call it 4 show two. Hope that makes sense. Best, Tom.
Lovey
Tom, I have to ask, do you expect these suits to be able to be adjusted enough to fit once they have grown etc? How much extra material do you leave in a “late teens’” suit?
We always leave good inlays Sir. Thank you, Best, Tom.
You still sharpen your chalk with a knife why not a sharpener box? Do yo prefer a specific shape?
Box's make your chalk square Nick. Best, Tom.
I'm not a big fan of soft fabric, I like Smith's Botany, Harrison's P&B Universal, Lesser 13 Oz, Dugdale English Town and Fearnaught.
Each to their own. Thanks for watching. Best, Tom.
