Making a Shirt: 1 by 1 Paul Kruize Tailoring Jeans, Shirts and other Garments, PART 3

A mini documentary on Paul Kruize, maker of bespoke jeans, shirts and other garments, made by Richard Bussink.
The talented Richard Bussink followed me for two days to film the process of making a shirt the slow way, from start to finish, from measuring, pattern drawing, to cutting and constructing. This shirt is made the Neapolitan way with a pleated shoulder and hand sewn details.

Making a shirt the way a good tailor does is just beautiful. Your craft borders on art, both in process and product. I wish I could afford, or better still, learn how to make a shirt like this! Congratulations on the beautiful video. I have watched it several times.

And that my friends is how one makes a fine shirt. I'm usually quite good with vocabulary. Thought best to double-check, looked up sartorial. Honestly can't remember ever using it but it would have been wrong I am sure if I had. And I am going to be using it now. 👏👏👏

subscribed for sure!!

[@theredrover3217]

I am commenting for two reasons. 1) I understand comments help with the algorithm and want more people to see this. Not only to increase your business but an education for young and old across the board male and female - what IS fine workmanship. And share a story in substitution for emoticons. Partner and I in bed side-by-side reading magazines. Eventually I could no longer ignore the murmurs and sounds coming from beside me. Seeing out of the corner of my eye, transfixed it seemed, admiring the fold out I had to look. What else but Playboy WOULD inspire all that? It was Wooden Boat. (Traditional design, construction and repair.) And I found myself making those sounds, transfixed, watching a man sew a shirt.

[@PaulKruize]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻😊

[@chrisfrantz-dale704]

Thank you for the wonderful videos. Quick question: What type of iron are you using? Thanks!

[@PaulKruize]

It's from Bielle

[@leespiderpod]

That’s a beautiful Juki, what model is it? My great uncle had polio as a child during the 1950’s and lost the use of his legs. During that era disabled people were pushed into tailoring and so he became a fantastic tailor. He eventually owned 2 shops in north London and became very successful during the late 60s making suits & shirts.

[@PaulKruize]

leespiderpod Great story! The Juki is a DDL 5550-4

[@josechaves6134]

Fantástico,sou Dan.

[@olivermarston157]

Great job and attention to detail is the best! Was just wondering why you don't use any interfacings?

[@PaulKruize]

Thank you! I use an extra layer of cotton in the collar and cuffs.

[@heliocreston9399]

maravilhoso

[@RyanRixSewing]

Love your work Paul! With the flat fell seam on the armhole, does the sleeve and armhole have different seam allowances to be sewn the way you have?

[@PaulKruize]

There's a bit more on the sleeve indeed!

[@ramachandraraon6473]

Well don sir

[@bheinatz1]

What kind of thread do you use for the hand stitching if the collar/shoulders/sleeves? Is it silk or cotton on the buttonholes?

[@PaulKruize]

Hi Ben, for the hand stitching I use Amann SabaC 120. For the buttonholes the same or slightly thicker, depending on the fabric.

[@jamalkavla3304]

Sir make some video's about coat pattren draw and cutting tuttoriols step by step thankyou

[@philipdebacker]

Hello Paul, in an interview you said you only started a view year ago, so where did you learn this amazing trade. How did you get so skill full in such a short time?

[@PaulKruize]

in 2014 I started making jeans and later shirts. This was a 'revisit'. In my early twenties I learned how to sew and how to draw patterns. It was a matter of reheating my experience and apply it to making jeans.

[@paulkhouri2165]

Hi Paul, may I ask about fusing interfacing. Do you use the iron or a fusing press?

[@PaulKruize]

Neither. I use an extra layer of cotton for the collar and cuffs.

Wonderful video, I wanted to ask what type of tool are you using to make the button holes? and are you hitting it with a hammer?

[@PaulKruize]

I cut with a chisel before stitching.

@@PaulKruize You can clearly see that in the video 🤭🤭 Thank you for the upload. It's always good to pick up tips from an expert. I love the horizontal cut of the collar. Hervorragend.

This is amazing. I really want to learn how to tailor. Do you take internships? I am guessing your from the Netherlands as well

[@2010stoof]

Maybe its something you only learn in school or training, but id love to know how you convert measurements to patterns and draw them. I'm stuck using store bought patterns and as you know they never fit just right.

[@PaulKruize]

It would take some time to learn :)

Hi Paul, I would like to know what does it means slightly tilted forward, about a sleeve shirt. Thanks a lot and congratulations for all. Fabio

[@PaulKruize]

Like on a jacket, the shirt sleeve is set after the panels are connected. Then the sleeve is tilted forward to give a better angle. So the sleeve seam is not at the side seam, but a bit more to the front panel.
