The Redmayne jacket looks considerably more sophisticated to me because of how much more shape it has. The lower button stance and roll of the lapel makes a tremendous difference compared to the boxier look of the Italian suit.
Reda 1865 is not a tailor, they are an Italian mill. I’ve got a couple of suits with their cloth. I believe they are still family owned and they do try harder and make their cloths slightly more special than VBC which is their price point.
Your version looks much better in terms of balance and shape of the jacket with the lapels, button stance, and front sweep below the buttons being much improved
Verry nice video. I can see the passion on what you do, and that is the key for a fantastic product. You are verry right, the details make the difference 👍.
Excellent presentation and really does explain your non copying copy service. Love the coat you have produced for the US customer. It does look shorter in length. This wasn’t mentioned in your comparisons. Was it another point agreed with the client ?
This is a great explanation. Thank you! As a home couture sewer I am wondering if you are able to point me in the direction of purchasing these kinds of fine fabrics, for the home sewer verse to the trade? Much gratitude from the US 💕
Lower button with a tighter fitting in the new jacket with a forgettable inside lining. I think the older one still looks better, perhaps its the colour. Hope the owner likes it. No two produces at different timelines will ever be the same, so some amendments/modifications are not surprising. Important issue is that the owners weight has remained constant ! 😊
I've always wondered, when coat sleeves are sewn by hand, does this mean there are absolutely no machines stitches used to attach the sleeves? Or does hand sewn just refer to the basting phase for fittings?
I am at odds here, there are aspects of both that I like. I do like the Redmayne coat, but, I also. Like the straight down gap on the Italian coat, but that is just my personal preference.
Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply, variation is never a good thing. I prefer your coat, however the straight down cut seems to cut the gap at the bottom, which I prefer. Thank you once again and please allow me to apologise for taking up your very busy time.
*PLEASE HELP ME TOM* I make historical suits 1890 to 1930 as a hobby - As a present for my sister's 50th B'day I am making her a hacking jacket with cloth she bought from Dugdale Bro's. She lives in the UK - I live in Bulgaria - how do we ship the cloth and the cost back and forth for making/fitting without customs duties being payable each trip??
Nothing wrong with the Reda jacket,of course,but as Italian i can say that is only and nothing more a decorous ready to wear. Nothing to see with Italian bespoke garnments. In other words Mr Tom Mahon that copy a Reda is like the Rolls Royce that copy a Austin Minor.
Awesome! Perfect timing as I just inquired about this service on your IG account (your lovely wife I believe responded) - I just haven’t had a chance to get the ball rolling but will shortly - thanks!
