It is sad that only two of the old tailors are still family-owned, my family's Savile Row tailoring business was sold off in the early 1980s, and I was only young at the time. As a tailor trained in civilian attire, I am always in awe of military tailoring, especially as you say the exquisite hand braiding. Beautiful work. Lovely walk-through, Tom. Thanks.
UA-cam is showing me this, I must have managed to convince the algorithm that I am a rich villain from the late Victorian period.
These 'amalgamations' are non-regiments. That's just fancy dress.
You look great in that beautiful burgundy suit.
Thank you for this video. I had the pleasure of visiting Dege & Skinner last week and purchased two shirts. While it was my first visit to them or any other Saville Row shop, I felt very welcomed. And the quality and feel of their shirts astound me. I now cannot imagine wearing anything else for business wear. Might a bespoke shirt or suit be in the offing next time?
Thank you for taking the time to comment about our shirt service, here at Dege & Skinner
This is GOOD feedback! This tailor is now on my radar. Thanks to all!
Please add more history and what they are known for with regard to the consumer, house style, do you own anything from them, and notable clients. Thanks
Discretion
Brilliant video, and presentation Tom.
The plum suit in the thumbnail is fantastic.
*THIS GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF* you got a sub...!
waiting for roger moore to wander in .... bond james bond .. tick
He did used to frequent Saville Row tailors in his retirement before he popped off…..
Thank you for taking the time to share your insights about Dege and Skinner. I had a wonderful time when I visited.
Glad you enjoyed coming to visit us here at Number 10 Savile Row
Extremly quality and luxe insights about best clothings, thanks to The Rake's.❤️
I can only ever dream of owning anything from Savile Row. Nevertheless I still try my best to dress like a gentlemen. Consequently, this series really gives an excellent insight into the code and details required to dress correctly.
enjoyed these so much I subscribed to the magazine. Keep it up!
Tom is the epitome of "chap." I still don't believe he didn't serve. He would have fit fantastically in the Officers' Messes of regiments like the KRH.
The man has never seen the inside of the local comp
Good taste and quality never goes out of style
I bought my uniform from Dege…
The old world is fading away, its only exists in the countryside - for now.
James Blunt (correctly Blount) still owns his frock coat…..
All about quality and great British customer service and tradition.Perfect.
No one does it better than the Brits.
When our wonderful late Queen Elizabeth II
was with us,
it was EVERY
President, Prime Ministers, Chancellor
greatest honour of his/her life
to attend a State Banquet.
(Due to KC III recent diagnosis he has had
to stay away from public engagements)
Loving these series! Thank you, Tom
Great series! Very happy to learn about the history and heritage. Very pleased to see this new breath of life in the form of quality content.
I LIKE THE BRAND'S NAME😂
your suit looks great but I'm from los Angeles and rarely see that level of dress. just wondering if your suit is comfortable setting down or is there a lack of mobility?
English tailoring tends to be a bit stiff. I prefer a more slouchy look, like Drakes.
Sleeves too long.
If you go back, interview William Skinner, the best of the best on Savile Row. Great video!
My regimental tailors.
@therakemagazine Tom, a shame you didn't pick a Guard's 'Boating Jacket' as your study, an absolute corker of a jacket with bags of history and unique to the Guards. Perhaps something for a video of its very own?
Love Frock Coat Order.
Dege (pre amalgamation) built my uniforms in 1985, when Sandhurst cadets still had a healthy uniform grant. I ended up giving them to a London theatre as they were still as good as new 30 years later, but an amalgamation and labour government later were, by then, obsolete.
Just wondered across this little gem, I really like how Tom delivers the information. Plus it’s just a really interesting and informative piece. I’ve even started looking for fine hand made British products myself. So well done the Rake team.
These videos are great. I hope you get to visit the whole Row Tom.
That’s the plan. Every spot I think you should know about.
Where are miniature medals worn (position)on a black, peak lapel, single breast tuxedo? Thanks
My brother was in the Green Howards, and because it is a properly old regiment things were still done the old way, so his mess dress involved a handmade and embroidered waistcoat which was responsible for a huge chunk of the bill.
Modern regiments have those things made by machine....
You should visit Pinsent Tailoring they too do historical period clothing for Men and Women. Glad these sort of clothing artisans are still around :) I had hoped we would see you in another type of suit but the colours look great on you :)
As ever Tom, a great video! Love the little slip of the tongue at the end😆
I have you know this suit was cut by Hawks of Saville row.
The Rake. That sounds like a tuff nickname tbh
Awesome videos. Where is the shirt you are wearing from? it is fabulous
I've been waiting for a video like this, that showcases the styles and cuts of these London Tailors. Cheers.
It’s a coat because only potatoes wear jackets…….
Love it, keep them coming. This is great insights for me as I am looking to get a Bespoke Suit made upon my next visit to London.
Tom, what regiment is your tie?
Have a new subscriber
Hat regiments sadly
Comment by a muppet sadly.
@@BBob1 get your faaackinn head down
@@BBob1 nonce
Ummm all this guy didn't say was "Quality Craftmanship and Design"
I think you’ll find dear Kirby Allison says quality, craftsmanship and tradition.
@@tfchamberlinBravo! You are indeed aware. How sweet.
A ‘gentleman’ who wears his Roli on his right wrist……….think I’ll stay traditional, and wear mine on the left 😉
Or even on the outside of your shirt cuff…..
SIR? TOM CHAMBERLAIN IS JUST THE PERFECT PRESENTER FOR THIS TOPIC ! IS THERE ANY CHANCE HE IS DESCENDED FROM THE PRIME MINISTER?
Their surnames are spelt differently, so I doubt it
Yes, thank you ! I transformed him into Chamberlain myself
@@hanktheblesseddeejay😂😂😂😂😂😂 well spotted. He might be related to Richard chamberlain.
To be frank, you really wouldn’t want to admit you were related to Neville Chamberlain anyway…..
@@NigelHyphenJones he should have changed his name to chamberpot 👌
Great but I would lose the horrible drum riff
Tom, is your own suit by KHL? It’s a lovely fit.
Well spotted.
Wait, what did I hear? Abraham Lincoln was shot in 1965?
He looks a lot like Sir Bernard Chumley (that isn't a criticism though, I love that character!)
Princess Catherine ! 😂
You didn't know that? Try and keep up.
Pompous snots like this still exist?
What’s pompous about wanting to be elegant and stylish? Perhaps you’d prefer we all wore tracksuits, flashed our tattoos and use a vape as a fashion accessory?
@@anttickwitty Elegant is good. Stylish is good. But this bloke is just an inflated buffoon.
@@anttickwittynow that was a zinger!
This guy looks like a fired TV weatherman who diddles kids on the weekend.
Very specific. I feel like you’d have to be either a fellow enjoyer of this pastime or a jilted and jealous kiddie to put such a fine point on it.
@@daniell2217 That's not denying the comparison, just trying to fill the club with more members!
What a disgusting comment - are you serious man?
Thank you
