I am glad you think so. I was cringing at the bad acting in the beginning. It was really only meant for our video series, The Making of a Savile Row Coat on Vimeo, but we decided it would be useful here too. vimeo.com/ondemand/thehta
I encountered a situation on more than 2 occasions that the client was wider than my hands could meet on the other side-- at least not without pressing my own body on them (embarrassing ). I'm a small person. What do you recommend in this case? I measure them from the front, because I have them hold one end & hand it to me. Thank you.
Hi Amy, that’s what the scye device is for. Check out the front of your book and you’ll see it. I suggest you paste it to wood or card and cut it out. There are some instructions in the description. It holds the tape in place at the front of the armhole so you can measure round the chest. It can also take a front strap measure. Check out my blog for the details www.handcrafttailor.com
@@ACAshworthCo well there is one attached at the 3” mark. Although I don’t think that actually works out at 3” when it printed. And the narrow tape for the front strap measure attached at the “0” above the cross hairs. Take a look at the blog handcrafttailor.com/blog There are notes on measuring with the scye device
Out of curiosity (and without disrespect); Rory, is your posture (rounded upperback - you ears are way beyond your shoulderpoint) a side effect of your profession as a tailor?
You've given us a great gift in this video.

The script and acting remembered me of clips from another specific website 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But still a perfect video.
"on which side do you wear your pant?" Is something I had to figure out myself. Pattern-cutting is such an interesting job. Great video.
Brilliant, love it!
great introduction!
Nice nod to the ASMR community with the "establish" at 2:01 😁

@@RoryDuffy thank you so much!!
@@RoryDuffy Can you post a picture of how the measuring tapes are attached to the scye device?

What are the tools you are using? For the shoulder and neck slope.
Perkins device. Invented by Philip Perkins 00 1 (210) 684-6233 in Texas.
What is the importance of which side you dress - how does it affect measurement?
Cloth is hollowed out on the opposite side of dress. More length is allowed for dress and removed from the side that has none.
Is the fire alarm going off next door?
There is no next door. I live in a stone house on a hill top.
Did you establish him for a navy suit for war? 😂😂😂
