@@gentlemansgazette Everyone seemed very pleasant and interesting. While I could never afford bespoke, although its always been a dream of mine, its nice to know there are such high quality people involved.
I love the presentation style of this video. It is such a treat to be able to hear from both the client Linus' and the tailor Sian's perspectives! I am especially impressed as I imagine that organising this sort of video may have been quite a difficult task, and one that will be quite rare on RUclips and elsewhere.
Jack here - I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video, thanks for your kind words. This one in particular was certainly a labour of love, as we wanted to do our best to showcase what a bespoke wardrobe looks like after years of curating through a great relationship between client and tailor
I need to wear a tux maybe twice a decade so I never had one made. Having a 'most important piece' to wear for informal and formal occasions does make perfect sense. I learn something new everyday. Thanks.
I really enjoyed this video. Obvious talent, skills and creativity reflect the experience of these two artists- bespoke brilliant tailors. Congratulations ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
An interesting conversation. Hopefully you will do a follow up video on the tailoring firm itself in the future. Whitcomb & Shaftsbury offers an interesting version of their bespoke service that seems quite reasonable in cost. Plus, they do visit cities in the US a few times a year, so those of us in the US who might be interested in bespoke ought to consider them as an option.
@@gentlemansgazette Redmayne just completed their fall US tour , saw head cutter Thomas Mahon in Boston. At that meeting, I made my cloth selection and discussed the styling details. There’ll be a fitting in the spring when Redmayne next visits the US, I expect I’ll have it finished before summer 2025. I’ve had several other items made previously (although all were single breasted) so they’ve got my measurements dialed in. So far I’ve had a tweed single breasted 3 roll to 2 sports coat , 2 pairs of odd trousers, a tweed odd waistcoat , and a shawl lapel dinner suit in midnight barathea with grosgrain facings.
@@sajid6027 The term "dinner suit" is accurate in the UK, but "tuxedo" is also known around the world. I doubt anyone would misunderstand if you were to use the latter in the UK.
It is now the holiday season so i think it's a good time to suggest that gentlemans gazette create a comprehensive vidio about how to incorporate tartan into holiday attire. This subject was breafly mentioned in previous holiday videos but it was never really discussed. Lokking forward to a video about this subject if you decide to make one.
Jack here - personally, I think it's a great proposition for the modern white-tie wearer, as the details are traditional but the fabric is a little lighter, making it a great choice so you don't overheat at your white tie functions!
My dad would have bespoke suits made for him in Chicago and also liked Hong Kong. He was not impressed with Saville Row though he is not around to explain why, sadly. He thought that Hong Kong tailors were excellent; you might consider doing a story on Hong Kong and Shanghai. The shoulders on your interviewer's jacket does not sit correctly.
Curious he never talks about his eyewear. It absolutely dominates his face. I am not saying its a bad thing or anything, but selecting frames to suit your face has to be priority #1 or #2 when it comes to style and fashion.
The investment of money will vary depending on whichever tailor you work with. The time investment is the most valuable element - you could go to a tailor and say "Make me 20 suits", but the outcome won't be the same as if you were to buy fewer garments over the course of several years (as is the case in the video).
Guys, the people in this video are great but this falls way short of the admittedly pretentious Kirby Allison material that inspired this series in that there is no education here-- I learned nothing about clothes, just about this one guy's collection. Tell me something about dress in England, English sartorial culture, English tailoring. Finding the equivalent of the fun and funky GG guys but in England only tells me that there are guys with unique taste and cool clothes all over the world, and I already knew that
Hi there, Jack here. Linus lives in London, and Whitcomb & Shaftesbury is a London tailor, so this is perhaps the truest education about what tailors *really* make for their clients to wear in their daily lives, not just what is being given for free to influencers. Do stay tuned though, as we have lots of other pieces from our London trip where we explore the in-depth details of England's sartorial history 😉
@@gentlemansgazette I am not saying you should do a video where you get something made for you for free, I am with you in finding that model distasteful. But I think you could use a video like this to talk about the way these garments are constructed, their history, how such garments feel when compared to Italian tailoring or off the rack clothing-- things that can help your average viewer sharpen their own taste and know what to look for. Kirby's videos integrate an impressive amount of all of those things. Without the influencer baggage you guys can do all that in a much fuller way. A look at one man's wardrobe seems like a missed opportunity when it neither tells me much about clothing or provides any of the interesting (if somewhat contrived) peek into the upper class element that other videos in the genre do.
@@OffOfTheCuff Jack again - we've got full explorations of very detailed elements of English tailoring coming soon, hope you'll enjoy them when they're released 🙂
@@w.adammandelbaum1805I dislike the posturing as well but that doesn't give this video a pass. I am glad to hear from Jack that the forthcoming videos will be more content-rich

Jack does great work. And Linus was extremely well spoken, interesting, and genuine. An excellent video - thanks GG.
Thanks. I'm glad we were able to get together with Linus and the team at Whitcomb & Shaftesbury. - Jack

The gray herringbone with red stripes is so beautiful 😍😍

@@gentlemansgazette Is it tweed?

Very interesting style choices. Love your guest. He has a lovely style.
Linus is great, definitely classic style with an interesting twist!
Enjoying the more creative take on Savile Row tailoring. Sadly, I can only dream of following Linus' example :)

@ Excellent! I thought I saw a quick clip of Jack getting measured, so I wondered whether the whole experience was going to be filmed.
Excellent video. Interestingly I’ve just commissioned a 4x1 DB blazer in blue twill with 2 button cuffs, by Redmayne. It’s a great look.
What great timing! What type of buttons did you go for?

I’d love to see what he would do for a traditional black tuxedo! Love his style!
Linus has great style, right?! Do you think he'd do shawl or peak lapels for a traditional dinner jacket? 🤔
Traditional "tuxedo" or accurately a dinner suit is midnight blue.
@@sajid6027 The term "dinner suit" is accurate in the UK, but "tuxedo" is also known around the world. I doubt anyone would misunderstand if you were to use the latter in the UK.
@gentlemansgazette it's an Americanism.
This is terrifc. Thank you for the in-depth review!

Great video, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great content! Thank you.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed 🥂
Nice video
really wanted to see that pocket square
If you follow Linus on Instagram (linked in the description), you're bound to see it there!
what do you think about white tie from the brand Ede and Ravenscroft please

The pink double-breasted would also go with a great pair of jeans!!!

He’s fortunate to have the money to do this. Most havnt.
too bad for the fur collar on the coat
How much money does it take for one to develop his style through bespoke tailoring

This channel is like wardrobe choice for the kingsmans spies. And although its in English, i didnt understand anything at all.
