How a Savile Row Suit is Really Made: The Rest Is History goes to Anderson & Sheppard

[@TheLonelyFawn]

Glad we got to know Tom and Dominic’s measurements now I can continue my work on life size replicas. They’ll be on the merch shop soon

[@Olyfrun]

...replicas of the suits? I dread to think what I could get up to with a life-size Tom and Dom. Weekend at Rest Is...

[@ben_6475]

But will they be wearing togas??

[@moseshamlett3887]

Where can I order?

[@SFRZRD]

Awwww this was a pleasant surprise - that’s where I did my tailoring apprenticeship after studying tailoring at UAL. I now run a tailoring shop in a small town in Colombia 😌

[@restishistorypod]

Thank you for sharing !

Nice.

[@francistaylor5097]

Undoubtedly, this is the podcast which has made my 2024 and reinvigorated my own history teaching. Dominic and Tom, thank you for everything.

[@catherinedalzell3183]

Holland and Sandbrook looking elegant and polished! Be still my beating heart. Love the episode. Love the look.

[@GoBlueGirl78]

This is amazing. I’d love to see more episodes like this!

[@user-fb3pu3qx3t]

Yes! So many amazing old places like this. Berry Bros for wine! They could have so much fun.

[@steve.the.farmer]

Absolutely.

[@tokyobear]

This was a lovely Boxing Day treat. Have to say that I am envious of Holland's new suit.

[@user-fb3pu3qx3t]

Brilliant!!! Loved every minute of this. So well made! The suits looked fantastic, and the expertise was fascinating. What an incredible company! Great spin off. Dominic, you looked so handsome! Tom, elegant as ever 😀

[@susanriaz636]

How can you suffer from poor self-esteem, Mr Sandbrook? You are both gorgeous and intelligent! You both look so handsome and have given me such enjoyment this year. Loved the Albert Hall show and have booked for next May. Thanks so much and this was such an enjoyable peek into Savile Row.

[@naomiseraphina9718]

That was an adorable thing to witness. Both the History Lads looked SMASHING in their Saville Row suites, and it was an odd sort of privilege to see the process of their becoming suited unfolding. (Suitification?) Who doesn't love a glimpse of master tailors at work? And one last thought: Waistcoats ARE as elegant as eff, and Tom was RIGHT to have one!

[@marianneb.7112]

Two very handsome fellows, with or without their tailored suits! Thanks for taking us for this ride. Cheers! ❤🎉

[@USERNAMEfieldempty]

You're blind. They are Mr. Toad and Mr Geek. I really love their podcast, but they are not Fred Astaire and Laurence Olivier

[@francesT5877]

Loved the people at Anderson & Sheppard. Both Tom and Dominic look so elegant. Fun movie.

[@michaelkennedy3372]

A saville suit is on my bucket list. 😊

[@stirlingmoss9637]

The bucket will be needed for the money ££££

[@ahiwalter9153]

worth every penny

[@obsidiantain]

Lovely. It’s great to see the lads out and about.

[@rhino5100]

Delightful! Nothing but body positivity here and fine generational craftsmanship. It takes a vulnerability and trust to share such details about one's own body to allow for this type of sartorial perfection. After those detailed fittings and honest conversations about the shoulders, collars, bum, button placements and "room for lunch", I might need a cigarette! Most of the famous clients get to do this in private, but you are brave confident men to put it all on film and share it with us. Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@kaukomieli]

Tom made such a good call to go with a three piece pinstripe suit. You got some beautiful suits, they look so natural and comfortable.

[@greyfriars6540]

There's nothing like a well tailored suit on a man. Its elegant, polished and very cool. The guys look great.

[@marcussheffield7221]

The guys were a bit humbled by the experience of bespoke tailoring at such a swanky shop. I could feel their little insecurities and embarrassments. It was delightful to watch these big brains be gently overwhelmed by their tailors. I was touched to see them made vulnerable. Charming indeed.

[@b_risky]

This was just so pleasant to watch, thank you! You both look great

[@phild5322]

The Rest is History in the wild! More of please

[@USERNAMEfieldempty]

For one brief moment I thought Fred Astaire and Laurence Olivier had taken over The Rest Is History. Then I realised it was just Tom and Dom in posh suits.

[@Olyfrun]

I'll be honest, Tom is more reminiscent of ol' Fred.

[@RobertThomson-y4m]

We Brits need to sell our craftsmanship far more. We make brilliant stuff.

[@thehappyhound770]

What a lovely treat! You both look mah-velll-ous!!! (And yes, Daniel Craig’s suits are too tight!)

[@esterhudson5104]

LOVE this! 🎄🎄

[@Muddipaws1308]

Absolutely brilliant ❤

[@ebismusic8813]

What a treat Tom and Dominic more please x

Quality suits . Love the insight into how they are made and the history of them. great episode.

[@GilesMurray-b2j]

With his lanky frame, Tom looks fabulous in his pinstripes. I hope Dom will indulge his inner Badger and get himself a thick brown tweed outfit.

[@adamkrug6064]

This is so wonderful two great passions of mine……. History and men’s fashion….. brought together with that wonderful light touch to the boys of The Rest Is History

[@Veve7]

Love it. There is nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to dress for an occasion!

[@gribbin7889]

Looking good, lads.

Lovely Boxing Day treat, thank you! Wish I could be with you in May at the RAH. Happy New Year!

*IM A BESPOKE TAILOR* of men's historical suits 1890 - 1940 [which is mostly the Henry Pool method] I will be saving this to watch later with a cup of tea

[@SeattleForge]

Enjoyed this so much. Happy Christmas

[@tonygreen9033]

Fascinating contrast between the suit first worn by Tom at the start of the film and the finished product which showed off Tom to be a fine clothes horse. Tells you everything you need to know about the skills of Saville Row Tailoring

[@annegreen5273]

Just found this, early on New Year's Day, what a treat, you both look wonderful in your beautiful suits

[@jamespbond]

Good grief! By pure chance I listened to the two musical episodes on my walk this morning (Jan 1st, 2025), and now I come home to this great surprise! Both Tom and Dom looking so sharp. A big improvement on Tom’s normal “suit” which looks like it was strung together in a corner shop in Kolkata. Now he looks like a Hollywood icon from the 1940s. And Dom looks like he should live in this outfit. He has been transformed from an excruciatingly detailed biographer of Harold Wilson into a Captain of Industry! You guys are such a pleasure to listen to. Keep it up. And please come back to late antiquity, perhaps this time with a focus on Byzantium?

[@MyTv-]

This took me back to when I had a suit made by W.G Child of Wandsworth a decade ago. I returned this year, and to see my paper pattern being taken from the hanger was lovely

[@petero1930]

Good to see Sir Keir has mastered a trade too! Impressive!

[@ThomasBoyd-q6y]

Brilliant episode. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄.

[@markt.3685]

Fabulous! Amazing! This was wonderful to see, and I like when tibits of history are thrown into the mix, like Edward VII's bringing the bottom button left undone into style ... ha, ha! Cheers!😎👍

[@JGMAZ]

Wonderful! I would have no issue modeling myself after Mr. Toad. Nothing wrong with styling yourself like the bon vivant country squire and master of Toad Hall.

[@es2285]

Very enjoyable and informative. Loved it.

[@timwright4676]

[@od-apc1391]

Brilliant !

[@trevormegson7583]

Fascinating. Thank you guys. Now I know I have a dropped shoulder which is not uncommon and why my backpack tends to slip off my left shoulder. I would give my eye teeth (if I still had them) to be measured and fitted for a Savile Row suit. One day when I drop the Lottery, it would be my 1st call to action.

[@Jack-c3z5e]

[@RENZO4993]

You should invite Hugo Jacomet, French Sartorial legend.

[@gbickell]

Fantastic! English tailoring - best in the world. If you want to know what a traditional costume is, you can't go wrong with a quality suit.

[@expressoevangelism80]

Best in the world, thanks to our long standing cooperation and empathy with the wonderful trades people and historic background with the Jewish people.

[@gbickell]

@expressoevangelism80 ooh, interesting! Please could you send some info my way about that? Sounds fascinating

[@expressoevangelism80]

@@gbickell As I understand it, historically there have been Israeli centres set up in niches of London, where trades people, such as tailors, gold and silver smiths set themselves up in business and from there established their reputations, which has continued to develop through a few generations.

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="217">3:37</a>. The guy in the middle has a really badly fitted suit on. The jacket is too tight at the middle. The collar does not rest on the neck, and the suit looks well worn and wrinkled.

Is it a coincidence that Frances & Konstantin on Triggernometry just did an episode interviewing their tailor? Is it the same fellow? PS I've just started the video, so maybe you save yourselves but speeding over the GOAT PG Wodehouse at the outset is sacrilege.

[@albertarthurparsnips5141]

Bowie dabbled very briefly with a Hitler fascination. By the last period of his life, he was simply ( politically, at least ) a very conventional left-wing UK rockstar. Clapton’s trajectory rather similar. Being very good mates with Roger Waters has ‘helped’.
