The Science Of A Great Suit | With Master Tailor Steven Hitchcock

your flappy pants are not cool

Probably the best double breasted jacket I have seen in ages , excellent shoulder line and superb fastening, with as he said some room in front, this gentleman knows his craft .

Steven Hitchcocks explanations of his cut style are fantastic. Great video, Kirby!

I wonder if he would make a coat for a woman if she knocked on the door?

Wonderful gentleman. Knows his stuff. His knowledge is more than his words can capture. Best of luck to him.

Great video! Kirby, what I haven't been able to figure our or see it in your videos is that how much spacing should there be between the buttons on a double breasted suit jacket? Could you please address this question.

For me, the Brit style is wee bit too structured and like a suit of armor. I prefer a more flowing, elegant draping style, but sharply conceived. Understated but rich fabrics. Fun to shop with women friends also. Sooo many more options, darnit.
The neuroscience research suggests "elegance" is inherent to human neurology, likely other animals, and is a delicate balance of unconscious sensory stimuli. But big determinant of success in business, art and social domains. Too geeky for the web but:

Amazing the tailor's collar never moves from the neck, but KA's collar is sticking out....huh. Not a fan of big lapels, looks to costumey, for me....learn some things from this. Sounds like the tailor needs to do a few suits to really dial in the client.

Mr Hitchcock was so open with his knowledge. Kirby you are an exceptional interviewer, making relatively complicated and specialised topics accessible. I never would have imagined I would stay glues for the full half hour of this video!!

Incredible video/interview and description of the work. So detailed. I know this comment is coming well after the video but on the chance that it is seen, I am wondering if Mr. Hitchcock would recommend cutting on the bias for a linen jacket or is it already too drape?
y?

Hi your work is very good,l want learn from you, how can?

Mr. Hitchcook saludos desde Peru soy un apasionado de la sastrería artesanal

I wonder where I can get Bespoke condoms.

Just love Mr. Hitchcock's down to earth and energetic explanation for his fantastic suits.

I enjoy watching your videos they have so much information, sometimes you do verbally cut across the person you are talking to preventing them from answering your question.

Thank you for introducing with great bespoke tailors worlwide, Mr Hitchcock is the best tailor I have ever met, it's nice to spend time watching this glamorous videos. Thank you Kirby

Very good sar

Have any bespoke cutters used 3D laser scanning to produce extact measurements of the gentleman's entire body, and worked from those? Things like rounded backs, tilted coccyx, etc would be exactly accounted for, I imagine. I have no experience with this industry, other than patronizing it, so your experienced opinion is most appreciated.

I can't believe these talented, knowledgeable craftspeople can take these asinine, basic questions from him. He may have the money to spend, and even find the best, however money doesn't buy likeability or style for that matter.

Your question around the 30 min mark wouldn’t have been necessary had you paid attention to the previous 29 minutes. Basically what he was describing to you the whole time were the hallmarks of his suit……. It helps when you talk and interrupt less and actually listen to listen.. not purely to respond.

Can someone comment on where the shoulder and the sleeve meet of Mr Hitchcock's jacket? Is it just right or is it a little bit sewn too much to the to the front? Would it make sense to rotate it counter clockwise so it's a bit more to the back? Thanks.

GREAT INTERVIEW VERY INFORMATIVE.
WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HAVE A SUIT MADE THIS TAYLOR.

first time i've seen a jacket with cuffs

Another great video Kirby, or should I say documentary?...and Steven, what a great gentleman, what a great tailor...

That pattern confirms: I will need more practice, in pattern making.

The suit Steven is wearing is absolutely perfect, everything about that suit is perfect, the colours the shape, absolutely everything is spot on, I want that suit.

Brilliant

Great upload, very informative.

Very nice suit👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Greeting of the sir.
At there have a vacancy for me, I can measure.. I love working at tailoring

Kirby Kirby kirbeee😀😀😀

If a tailor actually took physics equations into account when making their garments I would be extremely impressed. Like using the shape of the body and gravity to create the perfect drape. Using friction to create the perfect shape while in motion. Using refraction and how light works for fabrics to make crazy patterns that change color, change weaving patterns, etc. I wouldn’t wear it, but I’m sure some eccentric person would want a 3 piece suit made out of a special fabric that goes from plaid, to houndstooth, and then solid depending on the conditions or the angle you’re looking at. Or even better, a fabric that uses refraction to literally make someone appear skinnier or bulkier depending on what they want. A tailor can already make someone look their best if they are super skinny, bulky, or over weight, imagine if they also had a fabric that could do most of the work.

Great video

I love the way Mr Hitchcock speaks about his job! I am truly impressed and shall be one of his customers for sure ! ! !

Key insights:
1. Your suit should look great even when you're in motion, it wasn't designed to be but on a stationary mannequin.
2. No matter how expensive the suit, if it has a collar gap (whether you're stationary or in motion), you need a new tailor.

Thank you sir for this vedio 👌

Fascinating.. thank you for such good content

Guys what is the name of the type of jacket Mr. Hitchcock is wearing, I can see the collar of the shirt in kirby's jacket which is the really common but I don't see Mr. Hitchcock's shirt's collar. Why is that ?

Kirby, your jackets fit great most times (other than those few that have a collar gap)...but compared to that, the fit of your pants, especially from the knee down...is rather baggy and flops around when you walk

(I'm amazed by the huge amount of road markings, especially in London, kept always in optimum state, given the often wet weather)

I love his way of tailoring, tight on the sides

Still useing a suite bought 30 years ago, there is no words for the quality. By the way its Italian made and bought it in my country México.

I had 2 bespoke suits made for about 11,000 recently, Loro piana super 170s wool, perfectly tailored, custom everything, love them

One of your best videos ever

This is great and full of really good info video so thank you, but, too much interjecting.
this time.
