[@Floorballgoalie]

Hi! Beautiful video and instructions! A question: how do you know how much the side tab should be tightened first when sewing it on the trouser?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Thank you! When you sew them on, just put the tab inside the buckle without any tightening, let`s say in 'a relaxed state', and then if a client needs tightening he pulls them a bit on both sides (and hopefully relaxes them again at the end of the day).

[@rsridhar63]

Great clarity and useful too. Have a question. Nowadays I find an elastic adjustable waist in readymade trousers. How would you compare that to this kind of buckle adjuster? Thanks.

[@RezaMarz]

Thanks.

[@G.office-cx4uj]

neat and perfect congrats!!!!! please do a sew along for a zipper. there are so many ways i saw zippers sewn on trowsers but there was only one video for bespoke tailoring i really could follow and hat a neat finish to it, but it is deleted. is there a specific way to sew zippers on bespoke trowsers?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Thank you for the feedback. 🙌🏻 The principle of making a fly is basically the same for jeans and for tailored trousers, only the complexity and a way of finishing differes. DM me for the fly tutorial.

[@uzzamshidayat]

Great video, Would there be an issue if I were to stitch on a complete pair of trousers?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Thank you. You could, yes. So, the only things is that you'll get two vertical row of stitching on the inside of your wasitband (giving that all the rest you will slipstich).

[@freddiewhite9656]

Where do you get the mini buckles? It’s driving me crazy. I can’t find these on the internet. A link would be greatly appreciated!

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Hi, I buy them locally, but try googling for "Two Slider Buckle" or "Double Slider Buckle"

[@sterling4271]

Beautiful work as always! Is there a reason for your choice of non fusible interlining over fusible?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Great question. Mostly, I`m just showing off. Just kidding :) 1. The video is the part of the course where we haven't used a single fusible, just for the sake of showing this type of technology & finishing. It is always easier to switch to the fusible technology one with this information, than the other way around. 2. The non-fusible I'm using is rather stiff, so it allows me to use it as a guideline for turning the edges, which is convenient and because of its stiffness the finished edges will stay sharp and crisp. 3. It is totally okay to fuse some small and medium parts of the garment if you find it more convenient. Honestly, there is not so much of a difference, just a matter of style and preference.

[@sterling4271]

@@BESPOKEEDUCATOR Awesome. Thank you so much for that!

[@ramenloserlauren]

What is the name of the buckle? I’m trying to source some but I’m getting plastic results for bags

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Try: "(metal) Two Slider Buckle" or "(metal) Double Slider Buckle"

[@ronnywaghela9876]

From where do u get those sleeve pressing board

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

It is custom made for me by a local carpenter (following my own dimensions and design).

[@sachinmikumar5505]

Can we stitch them with machine also

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Yes, I of course, I talked about it in the video on 10:10. You can make it fully handfinished, fully machined or combined: the vertical seam is machined and all the rest is handfinished.

[@jjsequf]

were you buy the side tabs?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

I bought them locally a while ago in bulk, in big packs and different colors: dark, sliver & bronze. Try sourcing some online deals in bulk, that is gonna be more expensive though. Also look for them in online \ offline DIY shops, unfortunatley sourcing right materials is always a hard work and takes some time.

[@franklinjames3rd445]

Where do you get your fabric?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Hi, I work directly with some European factories, ordering cloth through their catalogues (bunches). That is the only way to get quality fabrics, each time, with all specifcations needed (weaft, weight, S-number, etc...) But for starters, you may try some cloth from a fabric shop, that will give you great experience as well.

[@nixonwillz2951]

Do you have the pattern for these adjusters??

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Hi, you can download it for free with the link in the video description. ⬇️

[@nixonwillz2951]

Thank you so very much!! Can you do a template on the others and a tutorial. The tutorial is so helpful as it is my favourite type of trousers. I’m a beginner, just start sewing 4 weeks ago!!
