One of the best yet. Fascinated watching Raeen understand and appreciate the process to a much deeper level of most of us. He should be proud of his skills and his ability to make entire pieces of clothing makes him an artist and a technician. Raeen if you read this, you could start a line of hand made clothing many people would support.

They way they clapped when watching the woman with no hands complete her work says everything you need to know about them. The wisdom and compassion they show is what the world needs. I wish I could meet them.
Mr. Raeen has a complete skill set. The good people working in the factory are factory workers, doing one job, one part of the whole, over and over. Nothing wrong with that. But whereas it may take a tailor like Mr. Raeen years to learn his trade, the factory job can be taught in hours. It may take a few days to weeks to learn to do the work quickly, but the time is much, much less than learning the skills of a tailor.
It is true that the majority of the factory workers are not tailors or even sewers. They would not know how to make a set of clothing from scratch just based on their factory skills. Mr. Raeen can actually make a custom suit for anyone, and likely with far more flexibility and materials than the factory machines could (taking into account the time it would take to re-program and re-configure them).
Raeen's work must also be more satisfying, as doing everything by hand takes long enough that workers can socialize to a degree while doing it. When you work an assembly line in a factory where every step takes only seconds you don't have time to think, let alone converse, and there are often prohibitions against socializing and people whose job it is just to supervise the workers. When Raeen completes a piece that he has done 100% of the work on, he can sit back and say, "Look, this is my creation." He doesn't have a basket of bits that get handed off to the next person in the process. Having spent years doing tedious physical work on a farm and other years doing "every second is monitored" type corporate jobs I can say with authority that being able to see your progress makes a huge difference in morale and job satisfaction. "Look at all I got done! That's finished now and I will do something else next." vs, "I've done X 100 times, so now I'll go home and rest so I can come back and do it 100 times tomorrow (and the next day, and the next). Hard to keep that up long-term.
Most of the people working in that factory will know how to use many of those machines after many years in the job. Even though it's mechanised working in the textile trade is still a highly skilled job.
A factory job cannot be taught in hours, each worker is skilled and it takes years to learn it. I trained for 5 years as a cutter and the machinists train for 3 years.
5:37 It's fascinating how the very concept of an assembly line just blows Raeen's mind. It was a simple concept that he understood immediately, yet never even imagined such a thing until he saw it with his own eyes.
That's true of most of the best ideas, once it exists it seems like it was always obvious. But beforehand it wasn't, not because it's a difficult idea but because most people's imaginations are limited to what they already know. People believe that the way we do a particular thing must be the best way otherwise why would we do it like that. They'll be willing to optimize the current system to make it better but never stop to question if the system itself is optimal. Most people believe what they do because it's what they were taught and are used to not because they've sat down and really thought about whether it's right. A good example is rent control. Most economists dislike rent control because they point out it reduces the efficiency of the rental market. What they fail to understand is that's the whole point, rent control exists to put landlords out of business because campaigners believe landlords are a detriment to society. Your average economist never considers this as economics is the study of the economy as it currently exists thus anything that damages the fundamentals of that economy is bad, it's not equipped to question whether those fundamentals are actually good or not. I'm not taking a side on that particular debate merely pointing out that one side completely misunderstands the other, their deep knowledge of the subject leaves them ill equipped to question it's fundamentals. The reality is that every system in our society is an accident of history, whilst we may have optimized that particular system over the years that doesn't mean the idea at it's core is optimum. When new ideas first start they're chosen based on convivence not efficiency, the idea becomes more optimized over time but it'll always be limited by it's foundations which were chosen because they were easier not better. That's why if you want to improve something, say a business it's best to consult someone with little knowledge of the industry, they won't have the same baggage you do and will be able to pick holes in the foundational ideas that you are to deep in to see. For example Raeen no doubt works on how he can make clothes faster, he'll work on optimizing the way the currently do things, i.e. can we sew faster, can we get better tools, better materials etc. But he won't question whether the way they do things is actually the right way as that's what he was taught, it's what he knows and hence will take it as gospel. Everyone works on their own piece from start to finish as that's how we were taught to do it hence it must be the best way, when in reality it's that way because when humans first started making clothes that was the easiest way. But now with modern organizational techniques you can easily create a production line and it ends up being far more efficient. But he's deep familiarity with the previous technique leaves him unable to imagine a different one and it's only once he sees it in action that it's obvious benefits become clear. There are plenty of things in our modern world just like this, simple changes that'd change the world completely but we're too wrapped up in how our ancestors did things to ever consider them.
The cool thing about this is that Raeen is so obvously skilled at what he does, that he knew exactly what he was looking at in terms of each of the steps necessary to manufacture a suit. You could literally see the recognition in each reaction, 100% dipped in utter amazement. Great video.
It's about quantity. If you are a tailor for a village, you have to scale it down and that means you are the one making all the steps. I hope he got some ideas of the production that can make his own work faster and easier.
I think it’s awesome what Raeen does! A lot of private tailors can make a lot of money, because many people want to have their suits hand sown. If Raeen got a machine that was not a factory machine, but like a sowing machine of some sort, I wonder if he would appreciate that, just to make his job a little easier!
@@figfox2425 i remember seeing a comment like this. Something about the amount of electrical output to even power a sewing machine is not commonly available in India. If Raeen can get some American grade solar panels or generator of some sort he would have a lot of success
The foot pedal machines work great without electricity, that is what my grandma used all the time for sewing everything from quilts to clothing. I know many who have gotten their fingers caught in the electric sewing machine.
Private tailors make big money in America. A tailored suit or dress made to fit is expensive. Anything mass produced is generally of lesser quality. Maybe we can get Raeen a new sewing machine. One with all the bells and whistles. And a steam iron.
Before we send them all our cool machinery, consider that electrical service in their community may be problematic. One should learn about their power situation first, before one's fine modern equipment becomes a pile of useless junk.
Raeen, As you mentioned, the machines are doing the work. These people can operate the machines. You have sewing skills. Creative skills by your own hand. That is talent
I would gladly pay for a pair of Raeen pants! Maybe the channel could set something up? I know that several people here would pay handsomly for a pair! He could make more money selling to us on the side!
Be proud of your knowledge and the skill in your hands, Raeen. As amazing as the big expensive factory is, realize that hardly anyone pictured in the video could actually make an article of clothing. They are machine operators. The machine does the work. But you could do it yourself. That’s wonderful.
I'm not quite sure that is correct. Most of them could probably make a decent pair with a normal machine. My mother in law use to work in a factory just like that
That was fascinating! Not because of the automation, but because Raeen understood everything that was happening - because he does it by hand. All praise to the hand artisans still plying their skills!
I'd pay for something Raeen made tbh. He could make bank over here as a private tailor tbh. Would a steam iron be something people could donate to get for him? At least a household style one?
A steam iron would be a game changer for him. I remember my mother used to sprinkle a little water on the clothes from a little bowl beside her before she ironed them. Then steam irons came along and made the process faster and it also worked better.
I he has reliable electricity that might be a good idea. The alternative is pressing with a dampened cloth between the clothes and the iron, however he heats that.
@@philipmervin6967 does he even have electricity. Its not everywhere in India where that is common place. Sounds like he lives in a area where that is a bit less common. It's easy to forget. But electricity in hours have only been common for about 100 years in the west. Prior to that towngas and hydrolic power was what was used.
Raeen is a craftsman, those people are line workers. When Raeen makes something, you know he worked it start to end. And there are many folks who would still prefer a handmade suit
Perhaps there is someone who could send Raen a modern sewing machine or we could send some money, so you can buy one for him! It would make such an amazing episode to surprise him with that!
Oh yes, that would be fabulous. Is it possible to crowd fund a sewing machine for Raeen? It has been said by others that in the west we have a real appreciation for bespoke handmade clothing and pay a premium for it too. I bet that would blow Raeen's mind!
@@RetirementVille Crowd funding, or perhaps the channel could ask Raen to make some garments and present them in a video and talk about his work, and then viewers could bid on those garments.
Id think the issue might be reliable electricity depending on where he lives. Having a wonderful machine counts for nothing if there is no power to run it.
Raeen, I am 70. When I was 20 and in college I got a job at a factory like this one. My job was to sew belt loops on the pants. That's all I did. Was glad when I quit that job!👌👌
Mr. Raeen, please take comfort in the fact that while mass-produced clothes are acceptable and comfortable to wear, a hand-crafted suit is the epitome of clothing and takes a skilled craftsman to make. Take pride in your skills, for they would make you a rich man in my country.
Raeen needs an Etsy shop or something. That would be awesome! And as someone with constantly swollen hands from sewing the "old fashioned way", i can understand Raeen's mix of awe and consternation lol
And an electric sewing machine. I didn't think anyone used foot powered ones anymore. My grandpa had a manual Singer, his father was a tailor, but I don't remember it ever used in my lifetime at least.
I grew up in the Philippines, and I remember when I was very young my parents still had relatively little income we used a coal-fired iron instead of an electric one. I imagine their village in India likely uses something similar since such irons are still being used in more remote parts of my own country. So I can see how a steam iron would be a revelation.
This tailor sounds like he's used to a setup little different from the way men like Elias Howe and Singer worked out vaguely modern sewing machines in the first place, of course he wouldn't be used to a steam iron.
Such an enjoyable video because of Raeen. Finding something that he relates to so well made this great fun to watch! I knew he would be surprised at the process but what I couldn't get over is that he doesn't have an electric sewing machine OR know what a steam iron is! Holy cow, poor guy. He works his butt off to make clothes the way my great grandma did.
These are clothes made for the masses. Not everyone can afford a handmade suit. Not everyone has skills to make their own clothes. When I grew up in the 70s, it was cheaper to make your own clothes. We did it a lot. But now fabric can be so expensive so it’s not always as cost-effective as it used to be and it is time consuming but enjoyable for those of us who like to sew.
Its wonderful and sad at the same time to watch Raeen and his amazement of the machines.... that he didnt know even existed... like a basic steam iron and surger... the amazing work he could create with a good singer, sailrite, etc..
I've seen quite a few "tribesmen see ... for the first time" videos, and in those cases it's usually a form of culture shock that we're seeing, where they're unfamiliar with much of what's going on. But in this video, we see at least one village expert view what updated technology can do in a field he is very familiar with. He can compare every action to something he does every day, giving this video quite a different quality. I love it.
As a dressmaker - my heart sank as I hear Raeen describe his sewing machine - i have antique ones also - but i use them for fun. But Raeen, I want you to personally know, there is gift in a suit hand made by a man for someone. My husband has hand made tailored suits, and he has commercially bought ones. He wears his hand mode ones more often, they are more comfortable. Allso as they are made with pride, knowing that he personally knows the man who made it, and was scultped just for him. Your talent and gift will may be made quicker by big machines, but it does not have the human spirit in it a hand made item has! Raeen, I pray you will get better machines soon and you prosper in your work.
I will not take anything away from these hard working gentlemen. Rhey have a craft that a machine will never replace. I can completely understand that they are in awe but growing up in the western society you become used to modern times. But tayloring is a skill and art that i will never possess.
For comparison, dude said it takes him two hours to make a pant. The machine took twelve minutes, not accounting for editing down for the video. That's wild. And tell old dude I liked his song. (I'll remember their names eventually.)
It’s amazing how electric machine and steam iron have been around for almost a century and he never heard of it or used it. A large steam press for shirts and pants would be amazing for him
@@j.h.3777 Nothing wrong with using those food pedal machines. I've found them to be very reliable. They're easy to maintain and even repair at home, they work much quieter than modern electric machines and if you just clean and oil them every once in a while they'll continue working just fine for at least another 100 years to come, most probably longer. That being said, I ditched my electric sewing machine for the foot peddled one of my partner's great grand mother 4 years ago and never looked back.
Mr. Raeen, the clothes you make are much finer than these. Your customers are fortunate! Most people here in the west cannot afford garments made by a tailor. Blessings to you!
Be proud of your tailoring Raeen. Having the knowledge and ability to make things from scratch yourself and put your soul into it is a rare skill the world today.
A tailor will have one sewing machine, and he will need to readjust it and change parts for every different use. But a mass production factory will have hundreds of sewing machines, and each one will be dedicated to just a single task. So no time will be lost making adjustments or changing parts. I think the most interesting part of this video is that while the machines do a lot of the work, the machine operators still need to be highly skilled and well trained. I was really impressed by how good those workers were.
This channel makes me feel fortunate for being in a first world environment, and also makes me feel unfortunate for living in a first world environment.
Raeen is a craftsman, an artisan, making clothes traditionally. When the work is broke down, so are the workers!!! Doing repetitive motion with no variety gives carpal tunnel and ruins your hands for life. You might think, oh faster work, they make more money because they produce more inventory, I guarantee they do not. The boss makes the profit. A motorizedmachine would be a benefit to our friend Raeen, butI say: leave these bad ways that turn artisans into workers alone!!! Here is a song frommyculture: You've got to pick up every stitch, it must be the season of the witch.
As you can see machines are used to mass-produce garments in the West, but a hand-made garment is for the wealthy and rich to pay for. You can use a sewing machine, but they are still hand-made compared to a production line. If you can produce clothes from your knowledge and experience you would be a wealthy person in the West, as it is a dying trade and well valued.
You should reach out to the company that made that video. I know I take a lot of joy in seeing the reactions of people fascinated with my job, I can only imagine their reaction to seeing this and the amazement watching machines do in seconds what takes hours
the satisfaction i get from this... its nice seeing other cultures reacting to something like this, the world is changing and ideals like this are the key.
This may be my favorite video ever from the channel! Seeing how the clothes are made is interesting, but Raeen's expert reaction was fantastic! Thank you to everyone involved.
I hope someone can at least send y’all a steam iron. Those are pretty average house hold items where I’m from. And a useful item for a tailor! Though I wonder if it ever gets overwhelming being given many gift offers.
Wow , the passion they have for making clothes and there excitment to watch someone do it quicker and easier is amazing . I dont think i have ever liked reading words on a screen as much .
You'd think so many different little parts would be confusing but each person only uses the same 12 things. It's monotonous, but extremely efficient. You need more people, but each person gets extremely fast at their job and precise, making higher quality and much much more product than a small scale setup.
It's always wonderful seeing an artisan, artist, or generally any tradesman seeing something theyve been doing for ages being done so rapidly and efficiently
While there will always be some who only want stuff made by experts in their craft, I do feel sorry for these guys in a way. They were just shown that their method of supporting themselves is obsolete. But if the world is ever hit by an emp, these guys will have a corner on a huge market.
Our local pajama factory had an open house exhibition back in the 1960's. I was FASCINATED! I marveled at the way they cut a stack of 20 or 40 layers of cloth and how they sewed on patch pockets and everything. The pajama factory moved their operation south of the U.S. border (I was told) and the building now houses a shooting range and two other businesses. Everything changes.
This was a really good video. it was great to see Raeen recognizing the different parts of the cutting and tailoring happening and looking at the process with a professional's understanding.
Raeen makes bespoke garments all by himself, that's incredible! Each person in this factory does a very specialized thing, but it's possible they don't know how to do the whole process themselves like he does. This is one of my favorite videos, watching Raeen's face was so cool because he was impressed with so many things that I had no idea what they were. I don't know the first thing about making clothes.
For some reason Raeen seemed teary to me. You get great reactions when the reactor can relate to the video they're seeing, another excellent video guys.
Man as someone whose been around so much technology growing up. It's so amazing to see these artisan men be amazed at a profession they work so hard at! Handmade products are becoming so scarce. But i genuinely envy these men, shown my self I have taken a lot for granted. As technology doesn't excite and make me happy anymore. Seeing the fascination they see makes me wish I still had that feeling when I am seeing something that is just an amazing feat of engineering. Love this video like all the ones I watch! Peace and love to you my brothers and sisters!
These industrial machines have a built in scissor that cuts the thread when you press the pedal back, that's why they don't need to use a scissor like Raeen is used to. And honestly, hand tailored clothing is far more impressive than clothes from the industry. At least to "us westerners."
Great video. It's funny; while these gentlemen were shocked at how much automation was used in the production of a pair of pants, I was surprised at how much work was done by hand! Perspective.
I've noticed a lot of people offering modern equipment and others mentioning that electricity is sometimes spotty in the village. I was thinking that there are many videos about hydroelectric power designed by or for small rural areas (such as villages), where for a fraction of the cost, a reliable power source can be made by the locals. I was thinking maybe the villagers would be interested in seeing these micro-hydropower videos (in particular, I'm thinking of Turbulent Hydro).
It’s been a while since I’ve seen any of your videos so I know I missed a lot. But I am glad to see that you’re showing the villagers a modern sewing factory
This was sooo much fun to watch with Raeen and see his brain working on all these automations! I hope he is able to incorporate some of it in his shop! He is right, this is a production line system with each station doing one or two parts of the job.
A lot of the automatic machines in the video are due to the need of them when mass producing clothing for a huge population. Mr. Raheen works for a more local clientele and should not feel like he needs such machines. If I could afford it I would send money for a modern sewing machine and a steam iron for him to learn to use. (I would send money because my purchase wouldn't have their style of outlets). Outside of that I don't feel a local tailor needs much in the way of automation. One other thing I would recommend to Mr. Raheen is something else in the video. Making the templates for the more standard parts (parts that aren't usually in need of exact measurements) of clothing would help the process. You just lay down the template on the fabric, chalk around it and ready to cut or sew.
I love seeing Raeen appreciating this. His reaction. But I guarantee you his work is much better because it’s done by hand. A true talent. Machines can be programmed to do anything however it just homogeneous work.
What he said about having to go get buttons from far away. In modern manufacturing processes it's important to try and limit deadtime as much as possible you will try to keep all equipment and tools nearby so you will never need to stop to go fetch something. Generally you have a small storage which will be refilled when it reaches a minimum level.
Knowing Raeen is a tailor made this vid more interesting to me as I was really interested to see his opinion.
“Your machine is from the time of Adam.” What a great comment. BTW, handmade is well made.
Handmade does NOT automatically equate to well made.....

Be proud of your knowledge and the skill in your hands, Raeen. As amazing as the big expensive factory is, realize that hardly anyone pictured in the video could actually make an article of clothing. They are machine operators. The machine does the work. But you could do it yourself. That’s wonderful.
exactly; machines don`t have pride in their work, or want to make it the best they can.
@@TheCentralScrutinizerAgain Machines don't have to "want" or have pride. They'll make it the best they can anyway.
I'm not quite sure that is correct. Most of them could probably make a decent pair with a normal machine.
My mother in law use to work in a factory just like that
That was fascinating! Not because of the automation, but because Raeen understood everything that was happening - because he does it by hand. All praise to the hand artisans still plying their skills!
I'd pay for something Raeen made tbh. He could make bank over here as a private tailor tbh. Would a steam iron be something people could donate to get for him? At least a household style one?

A steam iron would be a game changer for him. I remember my mother used to sprinkle a little water on the clothes from a little bowl beside her before she ironed them. Then steam irons came along and made the process faster and it also worked better.
I he has reliable electricity that might be a good idea. The alternative is pressing with a dampened cloth between the clothes and the iron, however he heats that.
@@philipmervin6967 does he even have electricity. Its not everywhere in India where that is common place. Sounds like he lives in a area where that is a bit less common.
It's easy to forget. But electricity in hours have only been common for about 100 years in the west.
Prior to that towngas and hydrolic power was what was used.
@@matsv201 sorry, I am from southern side of India,Kerala state
not much idea about Raeen's locality and other facilities like electricity.
Raeen is a craftsman, those people are line workers. When Raeen makes something, you know he worked it start to end. And there are many folks who would still prefer a handmade suit
There are many folks who would prefer a handmade suit, but far fewer folks willing to pay for it.
Perhaps there is someone who could send Raen a modern sewing machine or we could send some money, so you can buy one for him! It would make such an amazing episode to surprise him with that!
Oh yes, that would be fabulous. Is it possible to crowd fund a sewing machine for Raeen?
It has been said by others that in the west we have a real appreciation for bespoke handmade clothing and pay a premium for it too. I bet that would blow Raeen's mind!
@@RetirementVille Crowd funding, or perhaps the channel could ask Raen to make some garments and present them in a video and talk about his work, and then viewers could bid on those garments.
Id think the issue might be reliable electricity depending on where he lives. Having a wonderful machine counts for nothing if there is no power to run it.
Does he have electricity?
@@OP-1000 He most likely does, but whether it is reliable or not is the question.
There can be a power cut at any time in rural areas.
Raeen, I am 70. When I was 20 and in college I got a job at a factory like this one. My job was to sew belt loops on the pants. That's all I did. Was glad when I quit that job!👌👌
These are always so much fun to watch! Greetings fromt he USA!
Mr. Raeen, please take comfort in the fact that while mass-produced clothes are acceptable and comfortable to wear, a hand-crafted suit is the epitome of clothing and takes a skilled craftsman to make. Take pride in your skills, for they would make you a rich man in my country.
Raeen needs an Etsy shop or something. That would be awesome! And as someone with constantly swollen hands from sewing the "old fashioned way", i can understand Raeen's mix of awe and consternation lol
Raeen was truly impressed. It was interesting as he had a lot of input. Also loved the song and dance as always.
It is astonishing to think that a steam iron is a revelation to them.
And an electric sewing machine. I didn't think anyone used foot powered ones anymore. My grandpa had a manual Singer, his father was a tailor, but I don't remember it ever used in my lifetime at least.
That there are non-steam irons is a revelation to me.
@@grabble7605 my godmother had a old pre electric iron that she use to have on the wall...
It was.. let's say big and heavy... no steam funktion.
I grew up in the Philippines, and I remember when I was very young my parents still had relatively little income we used a coal-fired iron instead of an electric one. I imagine their village in India likely uses something similar since such irons are still being used in more remote parts of my own country.
So I can see how a steam iron would be a revelation.
This tailor sounds like he's used to a setup little different from the way men like Elias Howe and Singer worked out vaguely modern sewing machines in the first place, of course he wouldn't be used to a steam iron.
Such an enjoyable video because of Raeen. Finding something that he relates to so well made this great fun to watch! I knew he would be surprised at the process but what I couldn't get over is that he doesn't have an electric sewing machine OR know what a steam iron is! Holy cow, poor guy. He works his butt off to make clothes the way my great grandma did.
I would prefer a hand made suit any day! But it is definitely impressive what those machines can do!
These are clothes made for the masses. Not everyone can afford a handmade suit. Not everyone has skills to make their own clothes. When I grew up in the 70s, it was cheaper to make your own clothes. We did it a lot. But now fabric can be so expensive so it’s not always as cost-effective as it used to be and it is time consuming but enjoyable for those of us who like to sew.
Hahahahaha Babu's "you have the machine of Adam" killed me
Its wonderful and sad at the same time to watch Raeen and his amazement of the machines.... that he didnt know even existed... like a basic steam iron and surger... the amazing work he could create with a good singer, sailrite, etc..
I felt really happy watching Raeen's reaction, since this was for once something he is an expert in 🧵🪡👖 He looked so amazed and focused 😄
I love how they are able to appreciate so many details of what they see. Lovely people.
I've seen quite a few "tribesmen see ... for the first time" videos, and in those cases it's usually a form of culture shock that we're seeing, where they're unfamiliar with much of what's going on. But in this video, we see at least one village expert view what updated technology can do in a field he is very familiar with. He can compare every action to something he does every day, giving this video quite a different quality. I love it.
As a dressmaker - my heart sank as I hear Raeen describe his sewing machine - i have antique ones also - but i use them for fun. But Raeen, I want you to personally know, there is gift in a suit hand made by a man for someone. My husband has hand made tailored suits, and he has commercially bought ones. He wears his hand mode ones more often, they are more comfortable. Allso as they are made with pride, knowing that he personally knows the man who made it, and was scultped just for him. Your talent and gift will may be made quicker by big machines, but it does not have the human spirit in it a hand made item has! Raeen, I pray you will get better machines soon and you prosper in your work.
Raeen is so quick to understand what’s happening. I’m really bad at sewing so I barely comprehend the video but he made it easier to follow along.
I will not take anything away from these hard working gentlemen. Rhey have a craft that a machine will never replace.
I can completely understand that they are in awe but growing up in the western society you become used to modern times. But tayloring is a skill and art that i will never possess.
I sewed all my clothes for years, got the material I wanted, got the fit I wanted.
For comparison, dude said it takes him two hours to make a pant. The machine took twelve minutes, not accounting for editing down for the video.
That's wild.
And tell old dude I liked his song. (I'll remember their names eventually.)
It’s amazing how electric machine and steam iron have been around for almost a century and he never heard of it or used it. A large steam press for shirts and pants would be amazing for him
He's using the type of sewing machine that my grandmother used to use and I'm 60!
@@j.h.3777 I remember those. I’m 57
@@j.h.3777 Nothing wrong with using those food pedal machines. I've found them to be very reliable. They're easy to maintain and even repair at home, they work much quieter than modern electric machines and if you just clean and oil them every once in a while they'll continue working just fine for at least another 100 years to come, most probably longer.
That being said, I ditched my electric sewing machine for the foot peddled one of my partner's great grand mother 4 years ago and never looked back.
Machines are expensive. I think that in the cities people are aware. There is more money there.
Love that they were very happy to see someone missing a hand being able to complete sewing tasks.
Mr. Raeen, the clothes you make are much finer than these. Your customers are fortunate! Most people here in the west cannot afford garments made by a tailor. Blessings to you!
Love the video
Be proud of your tailoring Raeen. Having the knowledge and ability to make things from scratch yourself and put your soul into it is a rare skill the world today.
its like watching ppl in the victorian age, seeing motorized factories for the first time 😳, give those dudes some sewing machines already!
A tailor will have one sewing machine, and he will need to readjust it and change parts for every different use. But a mass production factory will have hundreds of sewing machines, and each one will be dedicated to just a single task. So no time will be lost making adjustments or changing parts. I think the most interesting part of this video is that while the machines do a lot of the work, the machine operators still need to be highly skilled and well trained. I was really impressed by how good those workers were.
You guys ought to surprise Raeen with a new sewing machine! I bet that'd be a very thoughtful gift he'd really appreciate!
This channel makes me feel fortunate for being in a first world environment, and also makes me feel unfortunate for living in a first world environment.
Raeen is a craftsman, an artisan, making clothes traditionally. When the work is broke down, so are the workers!!! Doing repetitive motion with no variety gives carpal tunnel and ruins your hands for life. You might think, oh faster work, they make more money because they produce more inventory, I guarantee they do not. The boss makes the profit. A motorizedmachine would be a benefit to our friend Raeen, butI say: leave these bad ways that turn artisans into workers alone!!! Here is a song frommyculture: You've got to pick up every stitch, it must be the season of the witch.
Love it. This type of emotion you only get from true craftsmen.
Manual craftmanship is and always will be amazing
Time of Adam 😆
I am impressed by their rapid and intelligent observations of the machinery.
As you can see machines are used to mass-produce garments in the West, but a hand-made garment is for the wealthy and rich to pay for. You can use a sewing machine, but they are still hand-made compared to a production line. If you can produce clothes from your knowledge and experience you would be a wealthy person in the West, as it is a dying trade and well valued.
Handmade is also wonderful
I love watching the reactions for these really smart people, they see exactly how it's being done and how much quicker the whole process is.
You should reach out to the company that made that video. I know I take a lot of joy in seeing the reactions of people fascinated with my job, I can only imagine their reaction to seeing this and the amazement watching machines do in seconds what takes hours
Fascinating ,watching both the Korean tailors and the reactions to them are great.thank you
they are true a master of their class as well, they understand the process and appreciate the works machine done.
Maybe a great gift for Raeen would be a sewing machine? I'm sure a lot of us would be happy to send some money your way to do it.
I'm always moved by these seemingly provincial people's broad minded approach to new information. Thank you!!
the satisfaction i get from this... its nice seeing other cultures reacting to something like this, the world is changing and ideals like this are the key.
This may be my favorite video ever from the channel! Seeing how the clothes are made is interesting, but Raeen's expert reaction was fantastic! Thank you to everyone involved.
I hope someone can at least send y’all a steam iron. Those are pretty average house hold items where I’m from. And a useful item for a tailor! Though I wonder if it ever gets overwhelming being given many gift offers.
Much respect to Mr Raeen. That is a great skill he has. I hope he gets a new sewing machine someday.
Wow , the passion they have for making clothes and there excitment to watch someone do it quicker and easier is amazing . I dont think i have ever liked reading words on a screen as much .
tell these guys we love them!
You'd think so many different little parts would be confusing but each person only uses the same 12 things.
It's monotonous, but extremely efficient.
You need more people, but each person gets extremely fast at their job and precise, making higher quality and much much more product than a small scale setup.
Sir breaking out into a song at the end is the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time
It's always wonderful seeing an artisan, artist, or generally any tradesman seeing something theyve been doing for ages being done so rapidly and efficiently
I would like to see Raeen making clothes in his shop. I would buy clothes from him if I could.
While there will always be some who only want stuff made by experts in their craft, I do feel sorry for these guys in a way. They were just shown that their method of supporting themselves is obsolete.
But if the world is ever hit by an emp, these guys will have a corner on a huge market.
I am just as amazed watching this and I'm in NYC
Our local pajama factory had an open house exhibition back in the 1960's. I was FASCINATED! I marveled at the way they cut a stack of 20 or 40 layers of cloth and how they sewed on patch pockets and everything. The pajama factory moved their operation south of the U.S. border (I was told) and the building now houses a shooting range and two other businesses. Everything changes.
I appreciate their joy at seeing someone missing a hand being able to do something useful.
This was a really good video. it was great to see Raeen recognizing the different parts of the cutting and tailoring happening and looking at the process with a professional's understanding.
Thank you music man and company ♥️☮️♾♾👍🏼👍🏼
Raeen makes bespoke garments all by himself, that's incredible! Each person in this factory does a very specialized thing, but it's possible they don't know how to do the whole process themselves like he does. This is one of my favorite videos, watching Raeen's face was so cool because he was impressed with so many things that I had no idea what they were. I don't know the first thing about making clothes.
Excellent video, thank you!
Tailors are very special. Nothing beats a hand made garment.
So these guys are all tailors! What good episode, so nice to see them wonder how and why at each step.
For some reason Raeen seemed teary to me.
You get great reactions when the reactor can relate to the video they're seeing, another excellent video guys.
I think what Raeen does is much more amazing. Machines make it easy but what he does is artisan work.
Man as someone whose been around so much technology growing up. It's so amazing to see these artisan men be amazed at a profession they work so hard at! Handmade products are becoming so scarce. But i genuinely envy these men, shown my self I have taken a lot for granted. As technology doesn't excite and make me happy anymore. Seeing the fascination they see makes me wish I still had that feeling when I am seeing something that is just an amazing feat of engineering. Love this video like all the ones I watch! Peace and love to you my brothers and sisters!
„See what new equipment has come“ - the 1800s want a word with you...
I absolutely love your videos! My eyes are opened much the same way yours are. It's amazing to see how other cultures live. And Babu is a TREASURE! 🙂
These industrial machines have a built in scissor that cuts the thread when you press the pedal back, that's why they don't need to use a scissor like Raeen is used to.
And honestly, hand tailored clothing is far more impressive than clothes from the industry. At least to "us westerners."
11:40 - 12:05 I like how they just admiring the process in silence then applause knowing the process is done.
Loved learning about this topic right along with you😊
Great video. It's funny; while these gentlemen were shocked at how much automation was used in the production of a pair of pants, I was surprised at how much work was done by hand! Perspective.
I've noticed a lot of people offering modern equipment and others mentioning that electricity is sometimes spotty in the village. I was thinking that there are many videos about hydroelectric power designed by or for small rural areas (such as villages), where for a fraction of the cost, a reliable power source can be made by the locals. I was thinking maybe the villagers would be interested in seeing these micro-hydropower videos (in particular, I'm thinking of Turbulent Hydro).
I am so happy you shared this info with Raeen! He appreciates each and every step of the process!
It’s been a while since I’ve seen any of your videos so I know I missed a lot. But I am glad to see that you’re showing the villagers a modern sewing factory
This was sooo much fun to watch with Raeen and see his brain working on all these automations! I hope he is able to incorporate some of it in his shop! He is right, this is a production line system with each station doing one or two parts of the job.
A lot of the automatic machines in the video are due to the need of them when mass producing clothing for a huge population. Mr. Raheen works for a more local clientele and should not feel like he needs such machines. If I could afford it I would send money for a modern sewing machine and a steam iron for him to learn to use. (I would send money because my purchase wouldn't have their style of outlets). Outside of that I don't feel a local tailor needs much in the way of automation.
One other thing I would recommend to Mr. Raheen is something else in the video. Making the templates for the more standard parts (parts that aren't usually in need of exact measurements) of clothing would help the process. You just lay down the template on the fabric, chalk around it and ready to cut or sew.
Factory clothes are never will be so pecious and unique, like handmade clothes. Respect for every taylor in the world!
Sounds like Raeen needs a sewing machine and a steam iron. 😁
Even a simple threader!
I love seeing Raeen appreciating this. His reaction.
But I guarantee you his work is much better because it’s done by hand. A true talent. Machines can be programmed to do anything however it just homogeneous work.
What he said about having to go get buttons from far away. In modern manufacturing processes it's important to try and limit deadtime as much as possible you will try to keep all equipment and tools nearby so you will never need to stop to go fetch something. Generally you have a small storage which will be refilled when it reaches a minimum level.
finally, the video I have seen so many people requesting for the last couple of years lol one where Raeen views some tailoring!
