Thomas Mahon, head cutter at Redmayne talks through the latest selection of cloths picked out by our bespoke customers. Let us know which you would choose?
@@savilerowtales Love these videos, only wish we could see more detail of the cloth. What is the medium gray cloth with the large blue check? That was gorgeous.
I stumbled upon your videos Tom, after seeing you recently in a video with Kirby Allison. You provide a brilliant explanation on different types of cloth. P.S. the L.A. gentleman that got the great price - wow, what beautiful cloth! Cheers
The problem with British wool is that when you visit a reputable tailor and he shows you the bolts and books, it’s like being in Aladdin’s Cave! It’s so hard to choose sometimes.
Tom,your videos are always honest and interesting. It’s lovely to hear from a fellow cloth lover who really appreciates the craft,dedication and quality we put into the fabrics. Left a stool for you in the Masons 🍻
Mr Mahon, A fantastic video as always. I feel that people do not understand the need to choose the correct fabric for the time of year, would it be possible to produce a video explaining this. Many thanks in advance John.
Thank you so much, really loving these videos! I have yet to try Finmeresco but I intend to do so. Standeven Explorer is my current favourite. The Tropicalaire is also great but I noticed that there is some overlap between the two bunches. I'd choose the Explorer as far as possible especially because as far as I am aware it is cheaper than other English high twists. Merino Brothers also has some excellent high twists from Alfred Brown that are available in Greater China and elsewhere; heard good things about their high twists and have a suit commission in progress.
We're glad you enjoyed a good part of the video. We've had comments both ways about the length of our videos being too long and too short. So we do currently choose to keep some of the close ups of the cloth shorter than the rest. If you're looking for greater detail of the cloth and to be able to see it closer, we would recommend going directly to the cloth merchants website, they have a great page for most of the cloths with a lot more detail too. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. Velvet is always fun :0 Needle boards, yes but we don't use them. Always cover with a light canvas for pressing and be careful of the steam cutting the pile.High pressure steam can be lethal. Best, Tom.
@@savilerowtales "be careful of the steam cutting the pile. High pressure steam can be lethal" *YEP discovered that a couple of months ago...* I found a 1960's gravety-fed domestic steam iron worked the best.
In the UK there is a large selection of 100 percent wool fabrics, here in the States it is basically all blends and/or lightweights. Being Autistic, in general, I find these blends to be uncomfortable and prefer studier cloths (so can take years of being enjoyed, my Opa's 1940s suit looks new). I am having trouble finding suppliers who ship to the States. Per chance know any resource? Thanks in advance.
My name is faizan i am looking for a job there i have 7 years working experience in this profession sir know how to sew coats suits. And one more thing by working with you sir i want to learn many thing from you sir
Thank you so much for not charging me the extra, Tom! I look forward to seeing you!

Thank you again for another educational video. PLEASE keep them coming.
I love how you appreciate the tactile fabrics! Good to see British fabrics being used and celebrated.
Thanks

Holland & Sherry! Makes some of the most unique patterns I have ever seen in fabric!

From India with love
Fantastic videos. It would be great to have one on pinstripe and chalk stripe fabrics for business suits. Thank you!
Greetings from Cumbria . I wish I could afford one of your suits. Understated and timeless
C'mon...we can help. Especially for locals ;) Best, Tom.
@@savilerowtales - Thats such a nice comment...
Great tuition! More please.

If I can get the time John I'd be delighted. Thanks for watching. Best, Tom.
Would love to one day get a sports coat from you. Something for the future I guess
Love the chord trousers you are wearing. The color is unique.

See you in March 2023! Can’t wait! #ATL #AlfredBrown #3Piece
Nice to hear of so many US clients properly dressed
Hi, my eyes fell for the H.Lesser grey pick&pick! Would you mind telling me the cloth reference number/code? Thanks and cheers 🍻
Interesting. Good video
I just got a few metres of a vintage charcoal pinstripe reid & taylor from a cloth merchant friend. Fabulous fabric!
I'll say. Well done. Best, Tom.
@@savilerowtales thank you. There was 4 metres left.
*THAT BLUE* at 6.30 drapes astonishingly, I wish I had a length of that...
The pinstripe at 15.20 is the same, just a liquid drape.
As always, great discussion: mext time please move the camera closer to see fabric design
Your descriptions are great, but a little frustrating that we don't get some good close-ups of the fabrics.

Love What You Do.. What Are The Trousers You Have On??? Aging Love This Stuff.🙏🏾
Thanks so much Antonio. So pleased you're enjoying these. Have a lovely weekend. Best, Tom.
Right now I am working in India thank you sir
better video quality it seems, aside from the flickering light to the left
Another nice video.
My wife loved the Red Velvet ( I think it was velvet)
Beautiful
Can u show how you cut no plat Pant or trouser sir
Great video! (as always). Any tips on pressing/working with Velveteen? Are needle boards an investment or a waste of money?

The Dugdale must have absorbed moisture in the basement.

Cashmere and mink! That must be something on the skin
My boss absolutely loves British cloths but I think his tailor or designer is letting him down here in the UK.
No Huddlestone?
