From Canvas to Clothing; I Made a 240 year old Suit!

[@garrylearmonth9313]

I never thought I would be watching a young gentleman tailor making a 240 year old suit.............. but it was riveting to watch lol P.S. I loved the sound of the scissors to be honest, old school and sounds bloody sharp.

[@SibylleLeon]

So, so good! My only gripe is that I would have loved to see more of the finished ensemble. This one walk-by wasn't nearly enough! ❤

[@janepage3608]

YES, more posing, please!

[@Hakaze]

More please

[@madelinegrudens]

Agreed... more time on that extraordinary ensemble would be very much appreciated 👏

[@bluecheese8703]

[@Cydonius1701]

My dear Mr Pinsent, I wish I had the words to convey just how great a salve to my heart it is to have a new video from you, today of all days. It's always a great pleasure to see your beautiful and skillful work, akin to a long, relaxed amble through stunning countryside on a warm summer's day, with just enough breeze to keep things airy and pleasant. Especially when near enough to the coast to smell the sea. You have my most profound thanks for sharing this all with us. Long may it continue! I remain etc., Chris

[@JoseighBlogs]

The decisive, confident, irrevocable snippety-snip-snip sound of those mighty tailoring scissors throughout says it all. 🙂

[@therealhellkitty5388]

What a gloriously handsome garment and model.

[@ianpatrickmchugh787]

Wonderful to have you back on KZbin!

[@CastielWillow]

All I can say is that I wish you had more time to make content. Love watching your process and listening to your dry wit.

[@pinsenttailoring]

I do too! I’m trying really hard to make more this year!

[@madelinegrudens]

I've been following you from the beginning, and I am constantly on the lookout for anything you post!! This was superbly satisfying to watch!!

[@MaxMitch22]

I am so thrilled that you are back. An absolute inspiration.

[@christophercooper4149]

Absolutely beautiful… would loved to have seen the finished garment for a tad longer . Such craftsmanship.

[@Yotam1703]

How marvelous a recreation! It’s my favorite thing in the world when a painting comes to life through the hands of a skilled craftsman.

[@kenbolden7921]

I am salivating over that suit!! Stunning. The model's no slouch either.

[@elisabethm9655]

Brilliantly conceived and executed. You, Mr. Pinsent are a national treasure.

[@piccalillipit9211]

*IM A BESPOKE TAILOR* Of men's historical suits 1890 to 1940 and its amazing to see how much simpler the construction methods were back then. 140 years after this a coat would have ~ 100 separate pieces of cloth in it, the vast majority in the hidden structure. There are 14 pieces in a pocket EDIT - Incredibly enjoyable - thank you

[@olm8648]

I would like to make an 1890s suit but it looks so complicated, Do you recommend tutorials?

[@elsiehupp]

An historicist bespoke tailor *and* a Trotskyist? Be still my heart! (Yes I know you’re probably not specifically a Trotskyist, but it’s funnier to say that you are.)

[@minniemoo6956]

I could watch this kind of content ALL DAY! So fascinating!

[@borge2014]

Fantastic work and design. You did great interpreting the paint which also cries for a good cleaning, it has so much old varnish, chalky face, so that makes it even harder to discern the painted outfit. Love that vest!!!

[@JThriftybee]

Thank you for the beauty you add to this world 🙏🏼

[@osnoflaestudios]

I love to see more late 18th century, really helps me to learn how to improve, great video Mr Pinsent ✨

[@leecarlson9713]

I just made an 1883 style dress, for my 80th birthday ride on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado. It was entirely hand sewn. The hem of the skirt was 13 feet in circumference.

[@garysimkins2179]

You are a true master at the craft of tailoring. Magnificent.!!! I am a collector of 17th and 18th century portraiture, and I love to look upon them daily, admiring the artist’s approach to fabric and style at the time. You embody that in your work, and you are a true treasure.

[@thirza9508]

Gosh those scissors/shears are magnificent, the sound, the crisp cuts. I don't even wanna know how expensive those are😅

[@terryk_]

Good Sir, it truely made my Tailoring heart go pitty pat watching the creation of this fabulous Ensemble.

[@manuellubian5709]

I'm only about 2 minutes into the video and I have to comment once again. To Mr Pinsent, your assessment of the color values so to speak of the painting is absolutely spot-on. I can tell you this that I know this for fact indirectly. I happen to be from the state of California in the United States. We happen to have a very famous Museum, The Getty Museum. In the Getty museum we actually happened to own two exceptionally, large Gainesville portraits. In addition when I'd gone there many, many years ago as part of two separate school field trips, I actually got a chance to see a much smaller print of some of Gainsborough's other work. If memory serves me correctly I believe the much smaller print that we saw might have been an early rendition of the painting you are highlighting today. That being said you are extremely on point, regarding the color observations. 1) Yes you are right that painting is absolutely wrong for all the colors. 2) Yes you are right again. His pants are not black or dark brown or chocolate brown or anything like that it should have at bare minimum be something in the strain of the color blue. I can even see possibly a dark blue, or even perhaps what we call in America 'navy blue'. Pardon me if this offends anyone from the UK reading my comment I'm just going to be straight up serious and for real....... I think that painting is FILTHY honest to God. I believe that painting needs to be professionally cleaned. If that painting is professionally cleaned more than likely you will also see that Mrs Hallett's dress and her accompanying veil is not quite as dim, in color as we see here. If anything her dress and her veil should be a much lighter and brighter white.

[@alanhowse9213]

That was just magic. Thank you ❤a job well done

[@FlyerBrudder]

Wow!! I too never thought I would be watching the tailoring of a 240 yo suit, but was captivated for the entire video. Brilliantly Done Sir !

[@LK-ec2ne]

LOve your videos. The detail is asmr for a sewists heart.

[@celiahaddon4087]

Every moment of this video was exquisite. Thank you so much Zak.

[@Siansonea]

Looks great! Would have loved to see more of the finished look all pulled together.

[@LotsofWhatever]

I don't sew but love these videos.

[@SewingBoxDesigns]

The entire video of your process is an absolute delight! The suit is beyond words, new words are needed! Lets go with exquisite! The final walk with the glorious background of the gate and flowers, and the "do it again"😁 Perfect! A Gainsborough come to life!

[@lindablindt7265]

I find it so inspiring to see such a respect for history and such skilled workmanship.

[@SugarChimera]

The color combination of the waistcoat is so lovely and the whole outfit is great in my opinion 💖

[@leana78]

wow! That was a fantastic work!! And Pinsent is so young and passionate by his art, that's great! The hatter was very interesting to watch too. I wish Pinsent the best, he deserves it.

[@gowanhewlett745]

BRAVO. Fascinating.Thankyou.

[@woodenkat8971]

That is an amazing suit, you look marvelous! I really appreciate that you dont try to do every craft, like hatting, that you dont make any more excuse than, not my thing, look at this cool person doing their thing! I sometimes find historical sewists on youtube seem to feel like they have to do EVERYTHING. And it can be so very discouraging.

[@rebeccastanhope3989]

I wish we still dressed like this.

[@jessicamillund1351]

We can, we just have to be confident enough.

[@peglamphier4745]

Keep in mind "we" never dressed this way. Rich people dressed this way while the vast majority of people lived in harrowing poverty. Its ok to be romantic about the past but historical reality matters too. And you're right....its beautiful.

[@rebeccastanhope3989]

@@peglamphier4745 My mother use to tell me that as well; but I can still dream. And I know I would have been cleaning the stables or some such thing. 😊

Absolutely fantastic! I love things historical and was glued to the computer from beginning to end. Thank you!

[@veronicabalfourpaul2288]

Very beautifully done. I too have reverted to hand sewing and find it quicker than dragging out a machine, etc.

[@fepatton]

Wow! As someone who has a done a bit of tailoring, I salute you. (Those curved pockets looked tricky.) The ensemble is fantastic!

[@susanhijazi6000]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this suit. Resplendent

[@hrani]

The opening was absolutely perfect! Oh heck what I'd give to be able to peruse a museum without anyone else in there, too. The finished ensemble is of course gorgeous! I very much enjoyed the fabric for the waist and the hat lining, a little bit of understated pizazz for a fairly sedate navy suit!

[@LittleWhiteRabbitB]

I always felt like sewing by hand was like meditation. You just kinda get into it and time goes by. It's very relaxing.

[@minnaoffinland]

What a lovely video. Thank you.

[@antoniobroccoliporto4774]

It was so nice to meet you in person in Venice at the Splendid Orient Express...you are such a gentleman.... Funny, I just made a similar version frock jacket in pale yellow linen which I will be wearing with some saffron yellow breeches of broadcloth at Les Fetes de la Nouvelle France which will take place early Aug in Quebec City...thank you for the video!

[@anotherblonde]

My grandmother handmade shirts for Selfridges in the 1920s as a girl prior to marriage. She also did tiny cross stitch embroidery of monograms on all small wear. She lived in a tenement block behind Bond Street. A bugler used to stand on the corner of Selfridges on Oxford Street and blow up a call for the girls to come to work each morning. She taught me how to sew. I used to work for a famous handbag company, but now at 70 I just make quilts. Loved your outfit, but wished you had posed longer at the end for us all to enjoy your work.

[@joebeck1888]

Thanks Zack. Really interesting. I used to spend all my luncheon times in the National Gallery. 💐

I really enjoy watching the precisely constructed and beautifully tailored suit. Also I loved the harpsichord music!

[@amtmannb.4627]

I did like the suit when I first saw in on the painting. I really much liked the details of your hat. I normally just sew the leather on the linen in my hat as it seems to me typical for military hats from the period. Excellent work.

[@sallycormier1383]

I wish all men still dressed like this! So handsome. ❤

[@kutter_ttl6786]

The wealthy ones would dress like this. The majority of us plebs wouldn't be nearly as well dressed.

I make Viking garments by hand and I don't find that it takes that long at all. Easier, as well, to manipulate the inserts. Many things just look better by hand. I'm made a number of tailored jackets by hand that just looked better, especially the buttonholes. I wish you could make more, I love your videos!

Amazing work and how interesting it is to learn more about how it was made
