It depends on the material, and on the pressure and heat being used. But yes, if in doubt a piece of cloth is always a good idea. It's only when you know the iron and the cloth very well that you can skip that
I guess they make their own hams and sausages. I was looking for a set but have only seen a ham retail and it's too little. It's quite solid, so I wonder what it's filled with.
Why does Mr Crompton say 'jacket'? I might be wrong (and quite pompous!) but I thought they were known in the tailoring trade as 'coats' (long winter versions being called 'overcoats').
Hi. They are indeed called coats in the trade, hence an 'overcoat'. However, everyone outside the trade calls it a jacket, and indeed quite a few tailors these days - so it was more relevant to call it a jacket
Even going to a good drycleaners , they sometimes mess up the pressing.... only take there for last resort cleaning.... just airing out your suit does wonders , don't wear the same suit 2 days in a row.
Absolutely. It's usually the pressing where cleaners go wrong. I recommend George at The Pressers in Soho if you want something pressed - he works for much of Savile Row
The curve and lining up the pants line really flew over my head
Ah, sorry about that. We can try and show it again in a future video if that's helpful
Won’t the fabric become shiny if a handkerchief or some piece of cloth isn’t used under the iron, over the entire pair of pants?

Doesn't tell you how to get that sharp crease in the first place :-(
True. Hopefully most trousers have something there to go from, they usually do
