I love the final point! Spend more on the particular garment of quality, but get years more use from it all while looking one’s best. Very intelligent.
Great idea! Looking forward to more!
I mostly wear thrift clothing, and tons of old military items. I absolutely love the videos, and I am thrilled you are a metal head that doesn't look homeless. Great videos.
Your guest, filmmaking, pacing, cutting, editing JUST EVERYTHING is inspirational in this video. Very well done! I really look forward to another one of this series!
Also, Prince Harry's pattern °A°
Very interesting presentation. So happy to know that your family supports your passion!
It must be a dream to be a tailor on Saville Road in
London. Best of luck to you! From Kansas City 🍀!

Lovely atmosphere! Love the series ♥️
I'm really enjoying this series :)
Superb. A plethora of an knowledge about an unappreciated art, the art of design, tailoring and dress.
I used to have this terrible sense of loss that my historical costuming people and my high-end tailoring and dressmaking people seemed to be saying a lot of the same things, but seemed to live in worlds apart. I am so, *so* grateful that the people in the interstices are coming into focus. It's deeply gratifying and makes me feel less ... alone.
@ Alex: It's wonderful to hear your background and your thoughts on the process.
This just made me realize something about myself even... I've always loved the working class garb, but I've also really started to like techwear almost over a decade now, and they're completely opposing representations of time.
One in the past and one in contemporary/future times.
At 3:13 I paused the video and ran to the front door. LOL Loved all the info in this video. Thank you.
This is a beautifully made documentary. Huzzah, Sir. Your filming matches your tailoring.
Thank you so much for the behind the scenes tour. And how the house is looking to adapt to a post-pandemic world. There's part of me that thinks that people will want to dress up and feel more formal. Partially because it's the polar opposite of what we're living through. But also - we've fed our eyes on all of this media where actors are wearing bespoke, beautiful and complex clothing. It's only a matter of time until that visual education get's applied to our own individual body.

This video made me so happy. You can just feel the joy emanating from him as he talks about fabric and creating garments
I really appreciate your channel, I have only recently discovered it while looking for patterns for flat caps. I am fairly proficient with hand and machine sewing. My style has vintage working class leanings. Flat caps, dungarees, sweaters, waistcoats, plaid flannel, Redwing boots, and my black motorcycle jacket. I don't really care what decade the style is from, I just don't like much modern materials or trends.
This was a great video! Your guest was very interesting and the film styling was wonderful. More of these please!
You are doing a superb job with these videos Niklas
Some of my best vintage embroidered silk pieces come from charity or antique shops for very little money. I also find some good linen cloth this way that could be remade gently into something historical. I do less of that and try to preserve the piece if I can. Rare to get a length of cloth for a complete project but you can find gems on rare occasions.
Thank you for introducing me to Alex, Niklas. He represents exactly the kind of apprentice I hope to become soon!
Such intelligent conversation. Great look too. Relaxed trousers cut with a high waist are unbeatable.
Absolutely love those videos - it is so interesting to learn more about tailoring and hearing from actual trades people is so inspiring! Thank you so much!
What an inspiration. Went to Dege and Skinner back in 2002 but wasn't in the UK for long enough to be able to have anything made and fitted. This gentleman certainly has great taste.
Bravo! Such an enjoyable, well-done series!
So interesting! And so beautifully filmed !
Love these videos. Always inspiring.
just watched this on my TV which i can make comments on so have nipped up stairs to my PC to say what a brilliant video and smart young man, loved it
Absolutely love his outfit. Straight out of Jeeves and Wooster for sure. And the 22" leg openings are killer. I need to get to London one of these days.
Wunderbar! Diese Einblicke sind für mich wirklich faszinierend, und mir gefällt auch die Qualität der ganzen Präsentation, insbesondere die zurückhaltende Gesprächsführung.
Bravo! This series is wonderful, I can't wait to see where it goes next.
I'm learning to sew, and what he said about being able to make his own Holy Grail pieces really resonates.
Looking very much forward to the next installment of this series!
Great work with the video. Love it.
I love this!
Lovely interview!
Historical information and undertakings. Dege Skinner
Saville Row, what an amazing place - it's just amazing what they do, I would so love to just sit and watch what they do in theire for a few weeks. I think alone by watching them work you could learne soooo much.
And I would really like to find that damn hair canvas that I at least can buy in god old Germany, or an alternative.
Super super interesting video! I hope you have more like this one !
A splendid series! I love to watch your videos, & you’ve outdone yourself with these interviews. So enjoyable! Be well.
Amazing! Would love to see a video with the first outfit/pieces you recommend for someone just getting into historical clothing! Would be great as I'm unsure where to start
haha Ive been following this guy for years, funny seeing him on here
Awesome...thanks. You always bring such good content. :)))
PS.
I'm a new subscriber! 🍀🍀🍀
great video!
As soon as I saw this chap I knew he had watched Jeeves & Wooster!
I remember mr. Poole , in Eston as a child. He had a ice cream 🍦 stand.
casual and loose on the bottom, but more professional for the top half, so like historical work from home/zoom meeting attire?
To echo the comment below: a very, very good series.

Cool video
This guy has found his calling.
I love that he has full trousers, but he needs a fuller jacket to make a more congruent silhouette. A slightly extended shoulder with some drape in the chest would do wonders to his look overall.
I'm the one here wearing 40s suit
10:50 22 inches ? He means 22cm surely ?
I'm sure he doesn't. That probably would not even go around his ankle, considering my wrist circumference is 20 cm and I'm a fairly bony woman of 164 cms of height. ;-)
Очень жаль что действительно хорошую одежду в 21 веке променяли на какие то тряпки
Following women like Bernadette Banner brought me here BTW
High waist may come in for men, but I can't see baggy legs. I don't liken how it looks at all, makes your feet look tiny too.
Your shirt sleeves are a bit short. Shrinkage....?
They fit better when he stands, I think. M.
