    I am currently on a weight loss journey and have always said that my ‘well done’ when I’m happy is to commission some bespoke shirts. Great motivation to keep in shape, if you ask me!

    I've been excited about this one. Over the course of the last month I've gone deep and learned how to make shirts myself, I've made myself a very nice fitting dress shirt. The fit was harder to nail but sewing wise it was much easier than trousers. Am excited to see what nuggets of wisdom are to be found in this Budd video series

      @rikardplatzer4220 2 года назад +1

      Interesting to hear, because I made my first shirt before trousers, and I thought trousers were easier. Maybe it’s just because you learn so much in the beginning.

      @@rikardplatzer4220 I find the sewing part of trousers to be very difficult. The welt pockets the zipper+fly in particular. With shirts the only comparable part is the sleeve gauntlet, but it's basically just a less complicated welt pocket.
      But the fit part of trousers, I found to be much easier, it more or less just has to fit perfectly around the waist and butt, the rest just hangs relatively loose. With a shirt, it must fit perfectly around the shoulders and neck, which is a pretty dynamic area with everything effecting everything else.
      Great learning experiences though!

    I've been loving this shooting series. Mr. Allison, I would love to see you do a series on some of the historical clothes worn by working-class people like 1920's "Golden Age" of motorcycle clothing when it was still very much inspired by equestrian wear or clothing worn by early recreational aviators. And I love logging boots and forestry wear from 100 years ago, I know there are still logging boot companies like White's Boots in Spokane, Washington that have been making boots since 1853, I'd love to see a fitting and the process of making a nice pair of boots from them. I'd love to know all about the best makers of gear, equipment, and clothing worn by people like myself who work in the trades before the fast fashion brands like Carhartt took over. Thanks for reading this and considering my suggestion. Whatever you post in the future I'll be watching, this is one of the best channels I've discovered on RUclips in a long time.

Whenever you're in London again or maybe even Scotland, it would be interesting to see a video on bespoke kilt making.

    hello for a very long time I have been interested in traditional men's fashion and I have been researching this subject. I wonder if there are one or more books explaining the rules to follow by men in matters of clothing, such as, for example, the rules to follow for wearing a white tie. Maybe not to apply them, but because they don't come from nowhere, but because they often have a very practical origin, and I like to think about how they were created. I found documentation on the rules of good manners in good society, but very little on the rules of men's clothing. Does anyone have any references? Thank you so much.
