Cad & The Dandy: The Cloths of Huddersfield - Full Length Version

At Cad & The Dandy we are proud to use the best British cloths. In this film we travel to Huddersfield, the home of luxury cloth, and go behind the scenes at the mills, merchants and finishers to find out what it is that makes the fabrics produced here among the finest in the world.

Lovely film lads, well done and thank you for uploading it. Many years ago I wanted to be a tailor and, as part of my training, I would 'sit by Nelly' with Mr Bills, coat and vest maker and owner of Philip Godlove's court and civil tailor's, Leeds. this was around 1995. He continued to use canvases in his coats, hand felled linings into them, used a loaf shaped wooden block to 'hit' work he'd pressed with an old electric heavy iron to make a vacuum and sent work out to a buttonholer who charged £1 a piece for the most beautiful hand worked holes. I had known of Dugdales in Huddersfield as being trimming merchants but di not realise that they were also weavers.
