This is a genuine question. What has happened to your channel? Why does it seem like you’re not getting the same amount of traffic as you used to? At one time your channel was on the same level as Alpha M and far ahead of Teaching Mens Fashion, but now it has fallen far behind.

Hey Antonio can you make a video on how to get rid of the shadow that you might get after shaving

[@ShinobiShaman]

My man, you go through all that trouble to make a t-shirt fit? Wow! I grew up in the 90s I don't relate. I prefer my clothes loose & comfortable. I'd rather see you spend your time on learning how the world works. Like The Great Reset for example. That's a project being proposed by an individual by the name of Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. It's basically a plan to bring in a world government dictatorship. You might say, that's conspiracy theory. Well Klaus & his Great Reset was just featured in a recent issue of Time magazine. As a matter of fact, The Great Reset made the cover. Look it up. I'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned about your appearance, but that's a little much dude.

It look a whole lot easier that it is. Sewing is a skill and an art, and it take a bit of time and practice to learn how to do it right. You need the right tools, and a steady hand.

[@ifollowjesus1667]

Totally agree

[@Senki207]

I'm making a point to comment on all of your sewing videos: as a young man who tailors his own clothes (who's also a rugged, outdoorsy guy, through-and-through), I am always happy to see someone (especially a man's style YT channel) promote this activity. It gives you a large degree of independence, which I think is an essential part of being a man

[@davidt4053]

[@user-pi5xu7qs7n]

Great video. My grandmother used to work in a sewing factory and showed me exactly how to do what you show in the video. It works great.

[@gilliankingston8259]

Thank you, that's really useful. My Dad learned to use a treddle sewing machine when he attended an "army school" in Scotland (starting at age 9), went on to be a band boy in Tidworth and joined the Royal Scots Greys as a Farrier (Blacksmith) and went on to become a Tank Instructor when they were mechanised whilst in the Middle East during WWII when they became the 14th/20th Hussars. Being able to sew/repair clothes or other items has never really been just for women, as you can see from my Dads Story.

Very cool story! It's "treadle" by the way.

[@angelawilson4264]

I’m an older woman and I don’t sew and your videos are great they get straight to the point and I understand each one. Now I can fix my t shirts myself. Thanks

[@mclyker]

Make sure you wash the t-shirt a few times first to account for any shrink before doing this.

[@krane15]

That's old fashioned. I haven't has a garment shrink since high school, and that was because I left it in the drier on high for too long. Otherwise, none of my clothes have ever shrank.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, the only change I would make is the stitch choice. The small zigzag stitch is for stretch, jersey knit fabric. If you do a straight stitch it will pull and pop. Great video.

Thanks! I have found that to be true.

[@steves7896]

[@johnconway8070]

Ah yes ! I have been making alterations to my clothes for ages . I just tailor my clothes as I see fit in order to achieve what I consider to be the perfect fit for me . I used to have a sewing machine but when it broke I decided to do all the stitching by hand. Yes it is a lengthy procedure and you will need lots of patience and time and some strong thread and needles but the end result is ALWAYS worth it .

[@johnconway8070]

@King Dong It is every bit as good as a sewing machine :) .

[@afiiik1]

I'd rather use a triple straight stitch or a narrow zigzag on stretchy materials. If you don't have a walking foot, you can lower the presser foot pressure if your machine allows it.

[@kray3883]

The easiest way is to buy your shirts to fit in the shoulder and neck and be at least big enough everywhere else, then you just adjust all the other areas. If shirts that fit in the shoulder are always too small elsewhere then it's more difficult, either look for specialty sizes, buy/make custom shirts, or for something like tee shirts try ladies plus size, since sometimes they are narrow in the shoulder but generous through the waist.
