How to make a Savile Row Suit (Part 2) - with Anderson & Sheppard | FASHION AS DESIGN

Follow the making of a bespoke three-piece suit in the style of Savile Row at the helm of one of the best British tailors, Anderson & Sheppard. - Three tailors receive their bundles of fabric and set about deciphering the cutter’s notes. Three weeks after a client’s measurements have been taken, his suit will be reading for a first fitting. The jacket will have been put together with a minimal number of seams using cotton ‘basting’ thread, and will be prime for a next round of adjustments.
FASHION AS DESIGN is a new course by MoMA that explores a selection of garments from around the world-ranging from Kente cloth to jeans to 3D-printed dresses. Each week will begin with a conversation between the course instructors-Paola Antonelli, Michelle Fisher, and Stephanie Kramer-that introduces the themes, items, and questions that we will explore.

Where the heck is Part 3??

[@strawbaby3369]

ugh can me start a petition to get part one back! loved the first vid!

[@programclu1]

9:22 'Are you keeping well?' 'Very well, and you?' *ignored*

[@mishimihendrix]

12:04 he chaved up for a moment and corrected himself haha

[@dantebouwer]

I have watched 20 minutes of fantastic suit-making to not even see the final suit 😭

[@lightspeed72]

Great videos. Clean and well edited. The lack of music is also very artful, none of that electronic synthesizer over kill. This video is art itself too. Well done!

[@qomarqomarudin7307]

I felt never give enough appreciation for this kind of works .. until watching videos of Savile Row and BIJAN tailor .. my dad is a suit tailor making for living himself (he is now about 92 years old and still making suit with very old fashioned traditional ways .. he still use a manual SINGER machine .. yes, manually pedals without electricity involvement) and his bare hands .. love you dad .. you’re very rare an outstanding stubborn perfectionist .. thank you for growing me up !

[@MrHillens]

Part 1 is no longer available due to a privacy claim? What could that possibly be? I'll be sad if both these videos don't stay up forever.

[@armandcatenaro1119]

my uncle worked as a cutter of men's suits, in NYC garment industry; used a "jig saw" on a pile of cloth 10" thick!! Never seen anything like it. Makes these scenes all the more interesting....

[@1955hoosier]

Art comes in so many forms. It is inspiring to see artists at work.

[@NizFam]

The gentleman doing the sewing with his shirt half un-tucked is priceless.

[@CrimFerret]

It's pretty cool to see how these are made. It's a collaborative bit of art. It's also something that can't be automated (at least as far as customizing for an individual).

[@normansufrin207]

So relaxing watching these videos. It’s a very calm place to work

[@Spencerlestiadi]

So enjoyable and well-produced! Thank you for incorporating all the small sounds of drawing and cutting into these videos instead of putting background music. It really elevates the sensory experience and helps me dive into the process more deeply!

[@ReonKad3]

All these people seem so down to earth and kind. Absolutely lovely.

[@rlund651]

This was wonderful. I had no idea how much effort goes into making a custom suit from scratch.

[@pinkmagicali]

I know we can’t see the final but honestly you can see the finished suit will be stunning. I’m so jealous.

[@Ursaminor31]

It’s wonderful to see and hear the voices of the team that collaborates rather then hidden away while the fancy boys downstairs take the credit,

[@walshy2116]

I just love that man in the green shirt. I can’t believe he’s been there for over 33 years as he doesn’t even look old enough! What a sweet charming man. They are all so nice and professional. My latest bucket list addition; go there! They really know their stuff amazing!

[@JoachimderZweite]

It is wonderful to see these artists at work. In my next life I will pay attention in school and have the luxuries and toys that my father never told me about. Being rich is more than money in ones pocket. This is elegance with no bling - a beautiful and subtle demonstration that clothes and culture make the man.

[@GrumpyYank26]

Love how the gentleman corrects himself ‘fittin’ to fitting. Not necessary but its just his humanity/personality/history showing. No shame in an accent! We all have them (except me) of course. Lovely.

[@randyporter3491]

Having difficulty choosing between Anderson & Sheppard, Huntsman, and Henry Poole of London, I ultimately decided on a summer-weight pinstripe, from JC Penny of Dallas. With respect to the details, a nice gift set with clip-on tie, pre-folded pocket square on cardboard, and brass tie clip with horseshoe, should compliment well. 😏

[@GMAMADANCE]

I loved it it clearly shows the inner workings of a bespoke tailor.

[@jcollins1305]

Really enjoyable watching these talented craftspeople at work. Carry on! One of the things I love about England, the traditions.

[@walesu.k.2108]

I had no idea this all went into making a suit - my mind is blown - wow 😯

[@facuarroyo3249]

In love with this whole enviroment 😍😍😍

[@Millennial_Mike]

I'm blown away by the skill level here.

[@TheBaldOne]

A well fitted suit must feel awesome

[@henryisosm]

I NEED PART THREE!

[@luxurycarkey7207]

Just to spend one day there watching these magnificent taylors is a treasure i use to work for botany 500 making men coats these guys are amazing...

[@lowesonia8551]

The eye . wonderful talented people Love to see a well dress man in a Savile Row Hand made suit.

[@pancakegaming6824]

That's a long 4 weeks....pt3 please. Excellent to see the internal workings of a great trade.

[@danmack3173]

Truth be told I like how it looks with the marker stitching

[@beatrizmartinez7729]

Absolutely beautiful, so what about Part 3? The sound of the scissors cutting the cloth, I loved it.

[@stevenbiars6212]

I've really enjoyed watching this.

[@10thMorales]

If they’re going to consolidate all the videos of this masterpiecing into a 4-hour film, I’m in.😊

[@missyrose2154]

I feel like I would be bored to tears being a tailor and would struggle to stay awake through a shift . This is exactly why I watch these videos when I can’t sleep. Still I do find it fascinating how they make sure the suit will fit the man perfectly . I especially like how much work and care goes in to making a suit vs perhaps mass production where the product is not going to look nearly as good. I admire people who care so much about their craft it just wouldn’t be for me 🤷‍♀️

[@raywalteroutdoors]

Today I added my first Savile Row to my now 52 suit collection which includes Zegna, Canali, Hugo Boss, Corneliani, Loro Piana, Polo Ralph Lauren, Armani Collezioni and so on. Cost was $2.50 gently used 2nd hand. He didn't even break it in so I guess I'll have to do it for him.

[@DAYBROK3]

To all who are asking for part 3, I took the course I don’t remember a part 3. It was to show you how to do a mans suit.

[@5starcomment]

i knew there'd be no part 3...I bloody knew it...

[@janeb1155]

Where's part three?! I loved this.

[@vickilindberg6336]

I love you he sound of his scissors. So sharp. So professional.

[@moboutmen]

Truly an art form.

[@sackwhacker]

What's interesting is that this chap is working at Anderson & Sheppard now.

[@gabba7954]

Omg I need a part 3!!!!

[@paulrice1301]

Back in the 80's I went out with a girl that worked at Anderson and Sheppard, it looks a bit brighter in the workshop now. She made Me a blazer for My 21st.

[@MyuNeptune]

Will we get part 3? I really enjoy watching those videos (i love process of sewing clothes).

[@MahlenMorris]

I mean, you want to see how it turns out, right?

[@Mr-R.R.]

yeah, probably the most rewarding part

[@justtyngascon6789]

Still no part 3 its been over a year, i guess they gave up on this series.

[@hafsafossie7074]

This is quality at work this tailor take there work seriously. That’s why I love tailored clothes. I’m working hard to achieve this quality of sewing not throw together trash clothes

[@chuckbuckbobuck]

Help me! I COULD WATCH THIS ALL DAY. I am a hopeless suit addict.

[@christopherscarpino8994]

Calming and mesmerizing. Was there ever a "Part 3" to this series?

[@wulliesmith3107]

We use chalk that's been soaked in oil overnight, that way you don't need to redo all the lines again and the chalk lines will fade over time, saves a bit of work

[@GrumpyYank26]

I wonder that they dont have more suitable seating to do their work. Do their backs become tired? I wonder what changes they would want if asked. Remarkable process. Patience, experience, skill. Hats off.

[@alrivas1477]

Can’t believe how much I enjoyed this but where is part 3 ?

[@incyphe]

Great video!

[@Freakymonify]

4 weeks to next fitting?! Jeez, I don't think I could wait that long, I'd die of excitement on the way.

[@ranchrods1]

the lady with the blond hair is stunning !!!!!

[@adamcain4603]

A true art form

[@johnduffy8532]

I sure hope these craftspersons, from the tailors to the cutters, are paid well for their art.

[@My_Work_Here_is_Done..]

Can’t believe we didn’t get to see the next stage and finish!

[@heymarey150]

It’s been 2yrs since this video has been uploaded, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to post the 3rd part? 🧐

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Beautiful 😍

[@RiddleWhisperer]

Awsome craftsmanship.

[@andrewvitale2700]

What talent!

[@metalmatt402]

Simply phenomenal!

[@jazzman1626]

The last time I was measured for a suit was around 1974 in John Colliers (the window to watch 😁). It was only a made to measure, not bespoke. I think now it would look hideous. It was a three piece brown pin striped suit with flared trousers. I’d saved up for it because my mother wouldn’t let me pay up one from her catalogue.

[@steventhornton9487]

There suits really are great best suit I have ever had made for me.

[@themorticians]

wow these were so great!

[@blankblank1949]

I like when he's sewing he got that mouth movements that often you sees on grandmothers

[@geraldhannibal7654]

Fascinating.

[@mrz_88]

Beautiful suit

[@taniasmith619]

Amazing detailed work. Beautiful and hard working team.

[@effay83]

amazing craftsmanship

[@Ukedc259]

Absolutely fascinating

[@jasmartin5842]

Would have loved to see the finished product

[@chrispeng5502]

Now I made up my mind to save for a bespoke suit.

[@7ajhubbell]

Thank you.

[@abshalomyisrael9475]

PERFECTO!

[@jras0522]

Part 3???

[@Menstouch]

Amazing video 👌

[@olafvivas1955]

Quiero saber que ocurre en la tercera parte!!!

[@jameshowitt2463]

They are artists aren't they? A bespoke suit is a work of art and the price is reflective of that.

[@themilkinator33]

Where's part 3?? I really want to see the finished product.

[@WsFood]

Hello, friend~ I enjoyed the video. Men look great in suits.

[@hcronos]

Bucket list

[@chipblock2854]

Love the videos. Two questions. First, what is the price range for the suit. Second, what are the typical wages for cutters and taylors? It must be a good wage if someone has been at it for thirty years. Or maybe just the love of doing it. This video shows the talent and skill that is lost here in America. I know there are a few great suit makers in New York but I mean generally everything we buy is mass produced with very little thought of the end user.

[@arthurxu786]

So handmade a suit at least 2 months,that’s really long time.should book 2 once

[@davidsankar7507]

Exactly !!

[@naeemmather1850]

Quality!!!

[@dumalun8388]

Very impressive

[@Kam12172]

It's nice to see men working in a place where normally you'd see women. Its showing that men and women can do the same jobs with the same results

[@rosez6737]

Tailoring has always been a more male orientated job lol, only seamstresses are usually female

[@TC-vx9yv]

Great videos, part 3 ?

[@willroberts2727]

All of their voices are so soft

[@zoompt-lm5xw]

great videos

[@danishpastry2885]

Beginning to understand why Tiny bought this business & appreciate what Anda & the whole team have done.

[@michealxulilie]

part 3 plz!!!

[@somethingwittyhere]

Part 3 please!! Lol

[@naveennagesh]

They dont have to worry about AI robots taking over their jobs!!

[@michaelpaisano9260]

In this day of emails, to get something done, an email has to be sent. How to do it, in which way, etc. After measurements are made, the cutter makes a pattern and cuts the cloth. The tailors look at the marks, and baste the patterns together. After the first fitting, more marks are made to tell the tailor the final work. No emails. Amazing, really. Also, kind of expecting someone to say, Don’t worry. It’ll ride up with wear.

[@francorossi7074]

We still wanting the third part
