Hand button holes courtesy of @felixquentin. . This is a remarkable cloth from the legendary Lumb’s Golden Bale by H Lesser & Sons via @harrisons1863 . A classic worsted which, at the same time, allows itself to be shaped quite willingly, it’s a million miles from a fresco or mohair. . It also comes at a slightly wider than standard double width, which can make all the difference for an economical cut. Especially useful when cutting a pattern, like the PoW check shown here. . It also helps justify the somewhat premium price. . The buttons are unusual in that they are mother-of-pearl, but work beautifully in the classic three-piece suit. . #bespoke #tailoring #bespoketailoring #genuine #craftsmanship #art of #craft #madehere #oneofakind #wool #suit #allnatural #handmade in #England #local #heritage #skill #authentic #design #style not #fashion #menswear #mensstyle #knowyourstyle I've not had opportunity to ever do this before, so bear with me: I am delighted and proud to have received the @the_textile_society’s annual Professional Development Award. .

As part of today’s #itvtonight programme, I’ll be talking about the skills shortage in the UK and how, in our sector, emphasis is being laid on increasing the provision of practical skills training in response to that shortage. . The feature is looking at professionals with training backgrounds different from the UK’s who contribute with their experience and help make a difference. . Filming took place at the Tailoring Academy, which was founded in response to what I know is a huge demand for traditional skills training. . Young people up and down the country - not just in our field but across all disciplines - want to learn to make things by hand again. . To be in control of the whole process from A to Z and being able to deliver the highest quality is a powerful antidote in an era of pretty relentless consumerism. .
