The Redmayne jacket looks considerably more sophisticated to me because of how much more shape it has. The lower button stance and roll of the lapel makes a tremendous difference compared to the boxier look of the Italian suit.
Reda 1865 is not a tailor, they are an Italian mill. I’ve got a couple of suits with their cloth. I believe they are still family owned and they do try harder and make their cloths slightly more special than VBC which is their price point.
Your version looks much better in terms of balance and shape of the jacket with the lapels, button stance, and front sweep below the buttons being much improved
Verry nice video. I can see the passion on what you do, and that is the key for a fantastic product. You are verry right, the details make the difference 👍.
This is a great explanation. Thank you! As a home couture sewer I am wondering if you are able to point me in the direction of purchasing these kinds of fine fabrics, for the home sewer verse to the trade? Much gratitude from the US 💕
Excellent presentation and really does explain your non copying copy service. Love the coat you have produced for the US customer. It does look shorter in length. This wasn’t mentioned in your comparisons. Was it another point agreed with the client ?
Lower button with a tighter fitting in the new jacket with a forgettable inside lining. I think the older one still looks better, perhaps its the colour. Hope the owner likes it. No two produces at different timelines will ever be the same, so some amendments/modifications are not surprising. Important issue is that the owners weight has remained constant ! 😊
I've always wondered, when coat sleeves are sewn by hand, does this mean there are absolutely no machines stitches used to attach the sleeves? Or does hand sewn just refer to the basting phase for fittings?
I am at odds here, there are aspects of both that I like. I do like the Redmayne coat, but, I also. Like the straight down gap on the Italian coat, but that is just my personal preference.
Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply, variation is never a good thing. I prefer your coat, however the straight down cut seems to cut the gap at the bottom, which I prefer. Thank you once again and please allow me to apologise for taking up your very busy time.
*PLEASE HELP ME TOM* I make historical suits 1890 to 1930 as a hobby - As a present for my sister's 50th B'day I am making her a hacking jacket with cloth she bought from Dugdale Bro's. She lives in the UK - I live in Bulgaria - how do we ship the cloth and the cost back and forth for making/fitting without customs duties being payable each trip??
Nothing wrong with the Reda jacket,of course,but as Italian i can say that is only and nothing more a decorous ready to wear. Nothing to see with Italian bespoke garnments. In other words Mr Tom Mahon that copy a Reda is like the Rolls Royce that copy a Austin Minor.
Awesome! Perfect timing as I just inquired about this service on your IG account (your lovely wife I believe responded) - I just haven’t had a chance to get the ball rolling but will shortly - thanks!
Whenever I will have enough money, I will make a bespoke suit from this man. He is a gentleman soft-spoken someone you could trust.
True that I have met Mr. Mahon in person for a MTM suit which is currently under commission . He is amazing and quite knowledgeable .
Thank you gentleman, that's very kind. Have. a lovely weekend. Best, Tom.

Well, we like to think so. Thank you for watching. Best, Tom.

The Redmayne coat is much nicer. Love the drape and cut. 10 out of 10! Thank you for taking the time to explain the process so nicely. Regards.
A beautiful copy in your house style, subtly improved in all the important ways

Quite interesting to see side by side. The Italian jacket is nice, but it's obvious that the Redmayne one is much nicer
Verry nice video. I can see the passion on what you do, and that is the key for a fantastic product. You are verry right, the details make the difference 👍.
Thank you. Glad we're doing something right. Have a great weekend. Best, Tom.
As Tom has mentioned, first jacket is very nice, but Redmayne’s is on another level of aesthetics.
Wow! I owe you a pint! Have a good weekend. Best, Tom.
Beautiful work.
Love this. This service is definitely how I'll get my next suit.
I absolutely admire your work and the knowledge you provide.
Too kind Ben. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for making these videos. You can really tell the difference.
Thank you for the encouragement. My very best, Tom.
Impeccable
Thank you, see you in Atlanta.
Looking forward to it. Have a lovely weekend. Best, Tom.
Nicezzz..
I wish Redmayne had a store in Montreal, Canada. This video is fantastic
We don't need one. Suit copying! Best, Tom.
Thanks.
Can you talk more about "there's a bit more in the chest, the suppression is lower down". I loooove your videos.

Quante cose si riescono a vedere se c’è chi te le mostra…grazie
Sei il benvenuto

Possibly Alan, I'd need to check. Well spotted though. Best, Tom.

Everyone to their own taste. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best, Tom.
Forgive me Tom, but do you remember the name of the cloth? That looks splendid as a sports jacket!
So sorry I cant remember. However, I think possible Abraham Moon cloth. Best,
Tom.

Oh we can see the difference…
Absolutely elegant silhouette. Tom, is that Redmayne coat cut with fish cut or side body?
Side body for suit copy's Sir. Thanks for watching.
Best, Tom.

Isn't fabulous to have variation. Have a good weekend. Best, Tom.

Very nice! Would you be able to "copy" a vintage suit from the 1930s or 1940s?
Maybe. Drop the Redmayne office an email and we'll let you know. Best, Tom.

Why 3 button rolled to 2 ,a 2 button would look much better.
