Good luck with your career. I hope it all works out well for you and you enjoy the creation, learning of skills, interactions with colleagues and clients
The timing of this video is perfect. I had a dream last night about a comfortable pair of custom-made woollen trousers. I guess I should go out and get them done already.
@ As a matter of fact, yes. I’m going to get a navy blazer along with some mid grey trousers. While that doesn’t seem very special. I figured that my only bespoke jacket ought to be something that I would wear most of the time during the spring and summer.
Another excellent video from the gentlemen at the Gazette. This also had something that I thought was lacking from the Huntsman video which was examples of the cloth. You should always include this. My regular tailor is Redmayne with occasional trips to Anderson's and Poole's. But you've given me much to think about and I think I will try Whitcomb (who I had never considered before) for some trousers and see how they turn out. Keep up the good work!
Indian garments were the finest in the world before the Raj , Indian textile was famous in Rome, Europe,and in the world for the craftsmanship, Indian has one of the largest exporter of textiles
We had good Hong Kong tailors in the British army, Malays too. In the med, Malta Cyprus Egypt etc many of the army tailors were of Armenian descent. We still call the laundry chaps the Dhobi Wallah.
Interesting video. What were the price points for Saville Row and Indian (hybrid?) suits? Edward Sexton does something similar but for instance they don’t use hand made canvassing (if memory serves) but their offshore bespoke was close to half the cost of full Saville Row bespoke. This sounds like a full replication of the traditional process.
Raphael, are you working at bringing in tailors into the Saint Paul Minneapolis area for bespoke fittings? I hope so I think there is a need for it here.
One question out of today’s topic. What do you think about Berluti shoes compared to Crockett and Jons,Carmina or George Cleverley? Is it worst it? Thanks
If it’s anything like their call centers the answer is No. It isn’t about the fabric or knowledge. It’s about the history, love and secret sauce that they’ll never be able to replicate
Indian tailors have a longer history of making suits than most Savile Row houses. Indian tailors are the most skilled. By the way many Savile Row houses are secretly getting clothing stiched in India and not telling customers 😅
Thanks for the informative videos, but 30 minutes of endless conversation! It's terrible! Show the trousers, show the jacket fittings, show how the trousers fit the customer! More real things, less empty chatter!
The trouser details are shown in the video, and we've previously explored the fit of Whitcomb & Shaftesbury garments on a customer here: www.gentlemansgazette.com/linus-bespoke-whitcomb-shaftesbury/?
I have just recently started my tailoring apprenticeship, it all started from watching you, thank you for the high quality content!
Such a high compliment, thank you! Everyone at the Gentleman's Gazette wishes you the best in your tailoring career 🥂
Good luck with your career. I hope it all works out well for you and you enjoy the creation, learning of skills, interactions with colleagues and clients
Killing it with the content lately!
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Any video in particular that really stood out for you?

If there's a sign, this is it! 🙌

@@gentlemansgazette are you still travelling with that knock-off aluminum suitcase or did you finally switched to a classy rimowa?
@@gentlemansgazette You're absolutely right, it's time to get on down the road 🚗💨
@@johnwatson2843 Sounds like you particularly dislike Sterling Pacific? 😉
Good job, Raphael. I am glad to learn more about Suresh Ramakrishnan and his passion.
I've purchased tailor made suits from Thailand for years. Outstanding construction and wear.
Excellent video. Getting my introduction to bespoke when they visit Washington DC in March.
How wonderful! Have you thought about what you'll be commissioning?

@@jrooney58 Sounds like a wonderful choice - We hope you enjoy the experience and resulting garments!

Thank you, and appreciate the feedback! We always try our best to shoot as much footage as possible to include in the videos
I once meticulously crafted a pair of bespoke trousers entirely by hand, without the aid of any machine. Great video.
How fantastic - tell us more about the fabric and details you chose?
India has a great tradition in tailoring left over from the Raj.
The Doorzi wallah.
Lol, even before the Raj, BHARAT was rich in its outfits
Indian garments were the finest in the world before the Raj , Indian textile was famous in Rome, Europe,and in the world for the craftsmanship, Indian has one of the largest exporter of textiles
I have a 100 hands shirt made in India and is as nice as any shirt
Nice interview!
Didn’t know unlined pants is a savile row thing. I have a few pairs of wool unlined pants, don’t mind them but prefer to have some lining
Indeed! It's more of a default choice, but as Suresh stated customers can make that choice when commissioning a pair of pants
I used to wear long Johns under my service dress trousers in the mob.
Wool trousers are not for me.
Especially on the drill square!

Take a look at the W&S website, and don't hesitate to get in touch with the Whitcomb team for more information on pricing (they're great!)
Excellent video!
Really interesting stuff.

Yes! It's SO needed!
Sartoria Pastena from Naples visits Minneapolis at least 2-3 times a year.

One question out of today’s topic.
What do you think about Berluti shoes compared to Crockett and Jons,Carmina or George Cleverley?
Is it worst it?
Thanks

You should also try Bridlen, they are based in Chennai as well, class shoes.

Judging by what I’ve seen in the Middle East where most tailors are Indian, they might soon be taking over the top spot!
Exciting! Which tailors in the Middle East do you know of?
When do they visit LA this year?
Their website currently states March 13-14 2025 for LA
The Saville Row !
You don't need a workshop in India. Why is he trying to sugar coat this as a positive thing.
Interesting video
I once had two suits made up in Mysore; made by computer or so I was told by the tailor. A good fit.
Would it be the pattern that was made by a computer?
Gg in India
Indian tradition's.
I don’t trust that tailor at all.
Why?

Given that the population of India is over a billion, they have the whole spectrum of human abilities and behaviour covered, both good and bad.
When you've watched the video, we'll be intrigued to hear your views about this specific scenario 🙂

Beware All: Indians think polyester is silk. and they confuse woolen/wooly/wool.
Is this 100% wool?
It is woolen Sar!
