@davetherave28 9 лет назад

Good video ! I was measured for a few suits years ago.. Never realised that I'd be looking to start out in tailoring (with the same company) some seven years later.

@Alobster1 6 лет назад

This dude, "a half of a millimeter above". What would happen if I went ONE whole millimeter above?

can he help me find a navy ship for war?

@draw_ornately8429 7 лет назад

A two button navy suit for war? You'd need to establish your correct size by establishing someone who's established enough at establishing suit sizes.

@TheHomelessNinja 6 лет назад

don't forget to establish to the chest size so you can use the 6 inch drop to establish waist size.

The finest fabrics are from Egypt and somewhere else, ah! Slipped of my mind. Darn... Wait Italy.

@globalman 3 года назад

One formerly asked which side the man dressed himself. Important for trouser comfort. The model does not seem very friendly or willing. The tailor is charming and thorough.

@Charlezard. 3 года назад

I'm always confused when Brits sometimes uses inches. Like here, why does the suit need to be measured in inches instead of cm?

@maltabbey4948 3 года назад

If i'm not mistaken most classic tailoring cutting books pre 1980s were published in imperial measures( Inches). Remember this is a tradition passed down through many years. Maybe in large clothing manufacturing metric is more preferable but bespoke measures traditionally are taken in inches.

@Charlezard. 3 года назад

@@maltabbey4948 I've seen some clips of the comedy panel shows like 8 out of 10 Cats, or Would I Lie To You and I think one of the guys mentioned he was like 5'7" instead of saying 170cm. And in another show I believe I heard them talk about either driving distance or speed in miles/mph, instead of kilometers. It was weird to me since these weren't really for American audiences.

why is he measuring in inches... dont they do it different in Europe ?

@Utrekz 8 лет назад

Yes, in Europe they measure in miles when measuring for a suit. Lol kidding I don't know if they do it differently.

@j5892000 8 лет назад

yeah i thought they did do it defferntly i think us is the onyl place that still does inches.... but this tailor could be from europe but moved to the us and learned inches but still have the accent?

@benthehunta 8 лет назад

The person in the video is British. In Britain we use a weird blend of imperial and metric units. For example we measure temperature in degrees Celsius, whereas we measure distance in miles, etc.

Why measure in inches? Is Imperial standard for clothing, the worldwide standard?

@LiveSamaria 11 лет назад

My only question is why there is an Obama poster for a British company

@jellycrewproductions2683 7 лет назад

alot of people outside of the usa actually like obama. alot of countries other than america dont have that history of hating blacks. you have to remember that african americans we'rent truly free until around the 80's and 90's(which isnt that long ago). thats why he is still so hated by alot of americans because they automatically hate black people, especially if they are successful. its in their blood and long history to do so.

@Stephenb033 10 лет назад

@rosamendavi825 7 лет назад

why on earth a stylish modern British OR NOT would use that archaic and incongrous imperial system unites nowadays? are you mad? have you seen the calendar? It‘s 2017!!!

@Offshoreorganbuilder 7 лет назад

I can well understand the use of the imperial system. In my workshop, we use nothing but inches, and the date has nothing to do with it. From a practical point of view, it is often easier than the metric system, because the numbers are smaller and more easily located on the rule or tape. (7 3/4" is much easier to find than 97mm for example.) At the end of the day, if they are more comfortable using inches, and you want their product, then you'll have to suck it up!

@StitchingMall 7 лет назад

Agree:) I liked your method really well.

@hazey5736 7 лет назад

+Offshoreorganbuilder I am sorry to say but it's just as hard to find both on the ruler. I mean 97 comes after 96 which is in between 90 and 100. The length of the ruler is the same, only difference is the numbers. There is no difference, outside of his own preference.
