Being a subscriber to the Rhodes Wood channel is both a privilege and a joy. It is easy to see the love and dedication that Jeremy gives to his viewers. Thank you very much, Jeremy! I hope one day I will have the honor of meeting you in person!
I did exactly what you recommended, and at your shop. Visited, chatted, had an idea what I wanted. My wife then took over, chose the suit and after fitting and tailoring it is perfect.
Hello Sir, This video was very useful and educational. I have never seen anybody explain it the way you did. You literally built a house from the ground up. You're truly in a class all by yourself
Very interesting! Your suit is fantastic! I think a made to measure suit is a wonderful thing to have. Not so easy to get in the area I live in. Unfortunately, attire has become more and more casual which I don't really like, although it has its place. I'm just glad to see shops like yours still exist in this age of casual. I know there are some of us who still like to dress well!
Great advice. I remember in my more youthful years, getting similar advice. 'Find a good tailor' I was told, and tell them you're putting yourself in their hands, and if they look after you, they will get all your business, plus hearty recommendations. So, I went to this old fashioned tailor. The man had the personality of a dish towel, wanted to expend minimum effort, and just get your orders, and repeatedly tried to dump his old stock onto me, even though it made me look like Coco the Clown. He lost a beautiful arrangement.
@@rhodeswood5513I bookmarked your website as well. I’m sure I’ll end up ordering things from you, so looking forward to doing business with you as well. It’s amazing how social media has become such a great marketing tool.
I know this was about tailoring but I think it is equally important for all items of clothing and shoes. You don’t want someone who only wants to sell you stuff whether it suits you or matches your lifestyle - you really need someone who tells what you might not want to hear - but ought to hear. I’m over weight and have been for the last 10 years. When I was playing rugby (last match as 1st team prop at 52), I was very fit and with little fat. Then things like heart ache, cracked vertebrae, crumbling spine determined that I could not exercise. I suppose that, to equalise input and output of calories, I could eat just celery day in and day out but, as far as I know, I’ve only got this life and so I eat sensibly but don’t deny myself everything. That means the kilos rise. Obviously, this has an effect on your wardrobe and what suits a man of 70 with a girth. I rely upon my trailer and outfitter to advise me as what suits me. So, get someone or a shop that you can trust and build up a relationship. Unfortunately, the shifting of fashions (I had a day in London today and there were only 2 other people I saw who were wearing a tie) plus disposable trends, means that local outfitters need our custom.
Well said. Finding someone to trust and Who knows what’s suits you and building that trust is so important. For us it gives a long standing customer and we do meet some fascinating ‘captains of industry ‘🤝🤝
I visited Saville Row as a tourist when I was about 20 years old. I was too intimidated to go into the shops. If I had known the proprietorship was comprised of helpful gentlemen such as the presenter of this video, I would not have been so concerned.
Jeremy, here is a somewhat unrelated question. When is it ok to wear a formal shirt, usually worn with a tux, appropriate to wear in a less formal suit setting with or without a necktie? Thanks in advance and also for your wonderful videos.
To wear on their own or with a sports coat… yes if they were plain fabric such as grey or navy and only need minor alteration. Striped trousers and other fancies can look ‘like the bottom half of a suit’🤝🤝
Great video. I used to wear suits every day in a commute and now no longer need one, so have none. I'm the guy in hoodie and cargo shorts, but I love this shop and I'd love to visit and just look round.
Well, as someone who is wearing a suit pretty much every time he leaves the house and therefore being used to it for a few years though not yet having a single bespoke or well just not of the rack suit I personally am probably going to go for a pretty extreme suit when going to a tailor just because it’s a suit I’m talking about a double breasted very huge peak lapel shark striped dark brown wool suit that you won’t get anywhere else and I just wouldn’t as long as I know I’m only going to have one or two tailored suits in the next years I think I wouldn’t go to a tailor and then get something made that I also can just buy the rack especially as I’m someone whom the majority of good of the rack suits I personally buy pretty much all of my of the rack suits at Hawes And Curtis fit very well so when I wanna go to a tailor, I want to have something I cannot get anywhere else well not anywhere of the rack that means

Thank you very much, very kind of you to say.🤝🤝
I was one of Mr Sexton’s very last customers. He made my shirt for my graduation. I treasure that shirt and the memory of the great ES.
Yes a legend🤝🤝

Incredible proportions on that suit!
I wish I could say the same on my body😂🤝🤝
Sage advice and surprisingly interesting. Thanks for upload.
🤝🤝🙏
Great video - and I absolutely love the 3/2 roll jacket!
Thanks so much!🤝
A proper tailor is essential to fully appreciate one’s clothing and accessories.
Those grey chalk stripes on the rail look fabulous.
Thank you🤝
Thank you very much. I also like the longer videos with more detailed information. Keep it up 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks, will do!🤝🤝
Me too🇸🇪

Excellent advice and references .
🤝🤝🥂
I love to hear of you about tweed sport jackets and how to match it with shirts and trousers
Sage advice Jeremy. Notwithstanding my experiences, I wish I had had this advice before I started along my path of gentleman's fashion. Thank you Sir!
🤝🤝🥂
A very well stated summary indeed. Received my shirts-just another order from you folks across the pond to me here in the Midwest!
Thank you very much Stephen and thank you for your order🤝🥂
I need to get up to Harrogate
Would love more talking videos like this 👍🏼
Will try to do so🤝
Excellent advice and logical in which to adhere...
Glad you think so🙏
What a gent,always a pleasure!
🤝🙏
Excellent, no-non sense advice!
🤝🤝🥂
"Trying to look 20 when you're 60 is tricky". How to say you're an idiot without saying you're an idiot! I love it.
🤐😂😂
Great video. Good advice. Just discovered you via Instagram and then discovered your RUclips channel. Please keep making videos.
Thank you! Will do!🤝🥂

Excellent video 🙏🏻👌 Please share the correct lottery numbers, so I can pop to Harrogate for a suit fitting 😅
8. 5. 23. 40. 42. 47…… I’ve got to do those now🤷🏻♂️

Unparalleled knowledge this
I’m still learning after 45 years but thank you🤝🥂
I must say , I love your glasses
Thank you very much🤝
Looking smart today
Doug was the best. He was ahead of his time because he didn’t go to Saville Row. Mount Street was a real change.
🎯🤝🤝🥂

Like what you're wearing now. Smart n classic
Thank you Mark🙏🤝

If you mean an evening dress shirt with studs or a fly front , pique or pleated front bib….. only with a tux 🤝🤝🥂
@ thanks so much. Holiday greetings from Southern California. Love the channel.
Would you have a pair of suit trousers with turn ups from a perfectly good suit, from some years ago, altered?

How I wish I lived there and could come to you for my dress clothes!
We will be in New York and Dallas at the end of this month 🤝🤝🤝
Any navy suits for war? 😉
3 - 5 years? I was expecting at least 50 years.
😂😂🤝
@@daniell2217 it would last much less if you gained or lost a lot of weight.
Your figure is unlikely to stay the same in 50 years, and it depends on how many suits you have and how often you wear them. Also how fine
Id love to visit your store in London, please. I will be there in december. How to find your address, please? Thank you very much.
His shop is a long way from London. There in Harrogate Yorkshire lovely part of the country
Thank you …. We are 3 hours North of London in Harrogate🤝
@@rhodeswood5513 Thank you very much. Im in Brazil right now. I arrive in London on december 17th. Hope to see you soon. Thank you very much.
