A master doing his trade. I have always said I will pay top dollar for a master tailor. I just don’t want to pay top dollar for a new person. Being a master tailor takes time and with time comes the big money. I remember the first time I had a hand made suite made and the tailor came to my office. And his skill and craftsmanship was beyond anything that had ever seen. When he asked if I liked stuff I just said let me pick a few colors and give you an idea what I like and after that I wanted him to do what he does. I had trust in whatever he thought. I was 23 years old and I’m 44 now. It will always be one of my favorites. We always remember our first MontBlanc pen the first Rolex and the first handmade suite.
Good morning ,thanks so muvh for sharing your knowledge qith us ,i was wondering if you won't mind to made a video of how to ahorten sleeves on a suit jacket perhaps 2" or more on the sleeves and add a funcional button hole have a great day . Thanks
Thanks a lot George,i was looking for a useful video about 3 hours in TH-cam, to remind shorten sleeve after 3 years not doing it .finally i find the best tutorial ever,not only was a refresher but also i learned alot more thanks again to being great and share your knowledge with us
Hi George. Thank you for your informative video's. My son has asked me to alter two suits for him as they are too big. Can you do some video's where you take in a suit jacket, including the arms, also how to correctly taper in suit trousers as I'm not sure if one or both sides are to be taken in. With thanks.
From what I understand, other than the attachment of the first button, there should be no thread visible on the lining to attach the other 3 buttons. Is this correct? That is, if it is professionally tailored as shown from this video. I just had a jacket altered and the sleeves were not mitered and the threads and knots to attach the 1st and 4th buttons were visible on top of the lining. Is it reasonable to have the tailor re-do the alterations? I am not pleased with his work.
Hi George. What if I have to shorten suit sleeves with perforated buttonholes! I have left them in the inside of the hem & done new fake ones. I have read that taking off from the sleeve cap can only be done up to 2”. I have had to shorten lately two suit jackets 3”. What do you say?
If I am shortening more than 2.5 inches then I will cut off a little fabric. Otherwise, I leave the fabric inside to give the sleeves some body and allow the fabric to hang better
George, Hi, I'm looking at a high end Jacket on ebay with the buttons cut (working) Sleeve is 26 1/2 inch and needs to be 25 1/2. The buttonholes are far enough from the sleeve that I suspect 1/2 inch is possible but at 26" I will still look like I am wearing my older brothers jacket. Any pro tricks or nothing to be done with cut buttons? Putting a strip of material over the buttons is not an acceptable option.
Hello, perhaps you can advise me on a problem I have had a few times. The top vent is not sitting flat on the bottom vent. There is a fold of material about 1 cm next to the 3rd button up from the cuff. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix it? Thank you for any help you can offer
I have a tailer who said he's going to shorten the sleeves on my glen check pattern jacket from the shoulder area. He promised the pattern will still match but I thought it would be easier to do it from the bottom as you did in your video. Is this a red flag?
Sewing the lining to the sleeve from the inside is not the professional way.. that is what is done during production or better yet mass production. I am a tailor, hand sewing is the professional way. This is one of the many differences between a tailor and a seamstress.
@@georgethetailor2768 most people want the alteration the way it was originally (by machine). Both ways are correct, regardless if you are a tailor or a seamstress.

@@Aysha-hx6cb oh ok, my sleeves are usually 7/8cm too long because fashion now warts the shirt at the start of the thumb, while it should be at the start of the hand, and same thing goes for the jacket

I love watching a master-level craftsman demonstrate what decades of skill-building looks like in action. It's like watching an artist paint.

this guy is so chill and nice
Thank you, for sharing this!
I wish there was a bit more description of the steps. Like how you chose where to draw the line for the miter -
Very interesting thank you
Beautiful Tailoring!
It’s good to see it done by hand, thanks.
From what I understand, other than the attachment of the first button, there should be no thread visible on the lining to attach the other 3 buttons. Is this correct?
That is, if it is professionally tailored as shown from this video.

Hello, can you tell me please which interfacing you use. Which companies you recommend. Thank you.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us.
Γεια σας κύριε Γιώργο!!σας βρηκα στο τικ τοκ ,καλή χρόνια από Ελλάδα !
I'm having a problem in knowing what to grab when closing the Vent! And do you answer this question with a reply?
Hi George. What if I have to shorten suit sleeves with perforated buttonholes! I have left them in the inside of the hem & done new fake ones. I have read that taking off from the sleeve cap can only be done up to 2”. I have had to shorten lately two suit jackets 3”. What do you say?
Lots of thanks, very classical work
ThaNkYOU you make my work so easy🎉
"BRAVO!"
You are the best ❤
It's hard to see what you're doing when you close the vent, I'm just learning so it's tough to follow step by step here, but it looks great!
Muy buen vídeo, gracias por enseñarnos. Bendiciones.
excellent
Where is possible to get a button placement guilde like the you made I've tried to make one but it don't come out right! not measuring the distant!
Beautiful!
Why do you not cut the excess material off? What if you are shortening a thicker wool jacket, wouldn't leaving the material on be bulky?
If I am shortening more than 2.5 inches then I will cut off a little fabric. Otherwise, I leave the fabric inside to give the sleeves some body and allow the fabric to hang better
I go to two different tailors to shorten my suit sleeves and they both come back crooked, not straight across.
Thamks for the video
very interesting thank you
Thank you ❤
Thank you this is very helpful ☺😊.
Nice speedrun

It's done from the shoulder, not the cuff.

this is wow!
Can't believe that he did not finish the lining in the professional way - sewing it to the sleeve from the inside!!

19cm extra? Are you shure it fits your shoulders?
@@aguy9893 yes it fits but the model of the jacket was long sleeve type it was from fast fashion but a pricey fast fashion
@@Aysha-hx6cb oh ok, my sleeves are usually 7/8cm too long because fashion now warts the shirt at the start of the thumb, while it should be at the start of the hand, and same thing goes for the jacket
@@aguy9893 yes yes totally agree with that they extend the length a bit more than usual 👍🏽👍🏽
wondering how are they going to do it with real buttonholes
Has to be done from shoulder
Thank you
All this work and for like 30 bucks...
Guys tip your tailor
