Sewing of a true Bespoke suit

In my latest video I show different examples of fine hand stitching that go into the making of a true Bespoke suit. For more more information visit my website at Rudolf Popradi.

[@paladinclothiers3628]

Rudolf, you really must take on several apprentices so that you can teach them your craft. It would be a shame that when you retire such amazing work and dedication just vanishes.

[@lidiamatildemarini5671]

Yes you should

I used to careless about myself. I wore sandals, jeans with holes, t shirts, and no underwear. Never took daily showers. Fortunately, I was employed. My feet were always dirty. I smelled. After meeting a clinician, I realized I was depressed and unhappy. I noticed this clinician dressed impeccably. This man's mantra was "sort yourself out and clean your room". I started getting into men's wear. I fell in love with sports jackets, suits, and blazers. Basically, I became involved in clothes and in developing myself. Dressing up improved my life and my professionalism. It was a psychological transformation. I enjoy observing the process of constructing a beautiful piece of clothing. In being detailed about how I dress and learning from tailors, I became more attentive to other areas of my life. Thank you tailors, seamstresses, sartorialists, and that special man-the clinician. Next month, I will working with a nice man from Iran to have my own bespoke blazer. Once you care about yourself, everything follows in life. Blessings to all.

Alberto Gutierrez - I would imagine that there are plenty of people who fit the “before” version of you (minus neglected hygiene) who are quite fulfilled and contented with their lives, but I’m glad that looking better was what jumpstarted your desire to FEEL better...the two do feed one another.

Beautiful craftsmanship. Reminds me of my Mom she made our shirts, pants, and suits all by hand. I never realized how much work that was until I was older. My Great Grandmother, Grandmother, and Mom all made their own clothes and their families clothes, as well as quilts. I still have a quilt made by my Great Great Grandmother Ida from Ireland.

Beautiful. I wish, you had continued, to make videos. There’s a lot of content about regular sewing out there, but not much about high end tailoring. Fascinating subject and incredible craftsmanship.

[@chuckbuckbobuck]

Boy this gentleman is so skilled with a needle and thread that it is downright scary. I want him to make me a pair of trousers!

[@Khamomil]

I learned to stitch hems this way when I was young, from a pro seamstress. The running stitch we've seen being done around the armholes of the vest, I never before saw it done in two steps yet this has to be the best way for regular length of stitches and regular spacing. Pants seem to me to be very difficult to make in the "true bespoke" manner. Working with exquisite fabrics is a great pleasure.

[@hanasuminiko6172]

I would love to see the entire process! This is very nice

[@dorothyharrison3472]

[@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser]

As someone who has always worked hard I appreciate your dedication and the work you have put into the suit to make it exceptional, beautiful and meaningful, congratulations.

[@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser]

And the double breasted suit I saw at 6:54 is beautiful too.

You may sew when ready...

[@Bmonkeygurl]

I love the straight lapel fabric lines!

[@MD-mm1zv]

“Excellence” doesn’t seem enough to cover the quality, and the passion, involved in this work... I’m trying to teach myself to be able to do a bit of tailoring, and it would be very helpful if you could slow down a little, and describe the different stitches in more detail. Then...it would seem to be a matter of practice...right? Thanks again for showing us how terrific fine garment making can be! Truly amazing, sir...

[@yaakovhassoun8965]

I bought a m2m suit recently and the tailor who measured me gave me an option for the full canvas with machine stitched or hand stitched, I ended up choosing hand stitched but I didn't really understand what the benefit was because I don't really see the stitching of the canvas, so I didn't really understand what I paid for. But after seeing this video I'm pretty happy to have chosen the hand stitched option. Should get the suit next week, can't wait

I thought he said 80 hours!

[@Mametiganabijem]

In Austria where I studied bespoke tailoring, we had to do it in 25h on the school exam, and the same amount of hours we have for the state exam... without passing the exam we cannot open our own shop. I succeeded with tears and blood to pass the school exam, but for the state one I have to wait a few more years. 40 hours is just fine. (I am not saying he is not doing a great job, because he is.. it is just that 40h are normal)

[@nicholasgarcia5802]

101perspective worked in a custom womenswear shop before and learned that spit works well to remove blood stains. your spit cancels out the ph of your blood and helps it come out. The blood has to be fresh and it has to be your own spit though a little weird but yeah lol
