I noticed how beautiful the craftsmanship of the suiting and dresses on Little Women. I used to be a Set Designer and this reminded me how much pleasure it was to move from contract to contract, through the ages, delving into the intracies of each period and reproducing the details of each; this was the joy of the job.
That anecdote about Eric Breindel brought me to tears. Imagine how it feels to know that your work was on someone's mind hours before their passing. Such raw intensity.
Great video. Despite this gentlemans' years in America, he has retained,completely,his natural,native accent. He gives the impression of being a very contented human being,as well as a first class craftsman. Kindest regards from the UK!
Well, yes & no...Yes, European voice production is projected from the vocal cords, sounding like it gathers impetus from the chest/diaphragm. In contrast, our North American cousins are more nasal-adenoidal in their voice projection. Speaking 'sotto voce' is rarely heard/observed in the US. This splendid gentleman has retained intact his British voice production/projection, which does not have the characteristic twang & volume of his American cousins in the US. As to his accent, this can be pinpointed way back to faint tones of the East End of London and/or, more likely, North London. Other factors, such as schooling/tertiary education & socioeconomic groupings and their impact, have not been commented upon in my post.
My mother taught me how to sew. When i joined the service it was a priceless skill. Today I hen all my own clothing and that of friends and family. It’s truly a craft that warms your heart.
the beauty of a tailor, a friend who knew more about you than anyone else, someone who can give you the trustworthy impression of your style and something beautiful in a relationship with your tailor
Mr. Leonard Logsdail God was showing off when you were made. Your expertise is beyond fabulous. Mr. Leonard you are the result of wonderful Parent's. I was mesmerized and enchanted viewing you whilst you work. I found you Joyous and Incandescent which is a winning way to traverse through Life. ♡ Australia
Oh My GOSH! I AM Soooo ABSOLUTELY HONOURED to hear your story, I am BLOWN AWAY by just the thought that, within all of these great movies that we watch, you can see your handiwork, living and moving, within the actors' artistry! I am totally inspired watching this short clip! May you continue in your impeccable and excellent work, SIr, and your team, for YEARS TO COME!!!!!
Wow! What an inspiration and motivator, my deepest respects to you sir many blessings to you & family, I will one day soon be part of that special list
Would love to break into this, or get more bespoke work. I have a degree in tailoring, recently done costumes for extras in a tv show. That was so much fun.
I loved the video. It took me back to the 1950’s watching you work. My grandfather and father were both master tailors in London’s East End. I spent my youth taking out basting stitches from suits on the living room floor. You really are a master!
Receiving a suit that is handmade and custom fitted to you is an incredible and addictive feeling …….you will be wanting to increase your suit collection and your wardrobe
Such a craftsman. An artist. The most beautifully made (in my uninformed opinion) suits I’ve seen were on Boardwalk Empire. Every check and stripe perfectly aligned and fitted to perfection.
First time coming across this man and I’ve fallen in love. I’m a tailor from Nigerian currently trying to learn the art of suit making and I just want 24hrs with this man to learn all I can💯
Isn't he brilliant? If you can't get an apprenticeship in England, I would recommend looking to Italy. The Italians are losing their Bespoke tailors due to age and the fact that the youth are not interested in the profession from what I hear.
I enjoy the Golden Age of Hollywood movies. The double breasted mens suits are my favorite. They actually wore their suits. They sat in the car with them on. They moved around in them throughout the movie. A great interview. Thank you.
For the record, the image shown for Eric Breindel is in fact Charlie Rose, from the thumbnail for a panel in which Eric Breindel was featured. Charlie Rose is still alive at 82 years old.
Man, I almost wish I was still working in a job that required suits. I’d love to have a few of these custom jobs! Not that could afford a neck tie from this guy!🤣
I couldn't hear the scissors cutting the fabric because of the background music. Also, I couldn't hear the music properly because this gentleman was talking over it! What's the solution to this problem, I wonder? Thank you.
I'm at a point to where I don't need bespoke clothing, have not worn a suit in years. However, it would be nice to find a tailor who can properly alter an off the rack sort coat or even a simple shirt. Inexpensive clothing can look very good if it fits well.
Respectfully for yourself sleeves may I recommend a French curve after the top arch of the sleeve? Just connect the French curve after about 1/2 inch off of arch end. Instead of using a straight edge. The slope of the curve matches the slope of the arm range of motion. Respectfully. Great work!!!! Maiden USA 🇺🇸
