Redmayne Head Cutter, Tom Mahon talks about a customers bespoke trousers cut in a vintage style compared to the Redmayne Suit copy version. It's something special to behold!
Haven't seen trousers like that for years. I always used to call them "Uncle" trousers when I was young back in the 1960's. A lot of older men in those days were what I would sympathetically call portly, but this sort of trouser suited them perfectly. Now you have shown us the pair you have made, they will almost certainly come back into fashion!
I have a few pairs of higher rise, pleated trousers. They're not bespoke, of course, but it gives a very different look. You get that clean, long leg line out of it and it is very comfortable.
Just discovered your channel. Although I will never be able to afford a nice suit like the ones you produce I find it fascinating to watch you at your craft. You are a true craftsman. And I love the way you share your knowledge. Thank you.
Did a little research. Apparently, the maker of this pair of trousers was the son of Bernard Weatherhill's cutter in NYC, back when the house had an outpost in that city. So there is still that Savile Row connection.
I'm looking for that first one as well! Got a couple hand-me-downs from my grandparent. Love them long-rise (was having trouble describing them to tailors because I said high-waisted) and detailed sewing. Always flattering to wear too! And best of all, no need for a belt. Anyway, I also thought they were roughly-made before I was told that that's how hand-sewed clothes were made which made sense because they still hold up after 30+ years. I don't trust myself on that though, so I actually do the overlocking stitch by hand to my projects. Bold of you to assume people don't want these anymore. Instead, I believe they're just not made anymore.
The weather in Boston next week is cloudy, chance of rain and in the low 50's. Just like if you were at home Mr. Mahon. Hope the trip is enjoyable & profitable for you.
Had to smile at the “nobody’s going to order trousers like this” I fancy a pair in grey flannel…. Let’s see how my Boston visit goes

Tom's testament on the client's trousers put a smile on my face.
very interesting and educational video
I MAKE HISTORICAL SUITS
Hand felling is a genuine old fashioned skill. I had hand felled turn ups!
They're gorgeous.

Brilliant video!

Look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.
So fucking wholesome I could cry
I have a pair of trousers by Redmayne and they are lovely.

Would love to see the customer wearing them, I bet he's going to love them
It is brilliant 🙂
Those trousers! Boy, loved the generous and elegant look. Fish tails and buttons on the outside is o.k by me! So, you do a MTM ranges....Mmmmm
Would be great if you came to Germany. We can only get Italian-styled suits, hard to get British styles short of booking a flight.
