Awwww this was a pleasant surprise - that’s where I did my tailoring apprenticeship after studying tailoring at UAL. I now run a tailoring shop in a small town in Colombia 😌
Brilliant!!! Loved every minute of this. So well made! The suits looked fantastic, and the expertise was fascinating. What an incredible company! Great spin off. Dominic, you looked so handsome! Tom, elegant as ever 😀
The guys were a bit humbled by the experience of bespoke tailoring at such a swanky shop. I could feel their little insecurities and embarrassments. It was delightful to watch these big brains be gently overwhelmed by their tailors. I was touched to see them made vulnerable. Charming indeed.
For one brief moment I thought Fred Astaire and Laurence Olivier had taken over The Rest Is History. Then I realised it was just Tom and Dom in posh suits.
That was an adorable thing to witness. Both the History Lads looked SMASHING in their Saville Row suites, and it was an odd sort of privilege to see the process of their becoming suited unfolding. (Suitification?) Who doesn't love a glimpse of master tailors at work? And one last thought: Waistcoats ARE as elegant as eff, and Tom was RIGHT to have one!
Delightful! Nothing but body positivity here and fine generational craftsmanship. It takes a vulnerability and trust to share such details about one's own body to allow for this type of sartorial perfection. After those detailed fittings and honest conversations about the shoulders, collars, bum, button placements and "room for lunch", I might need a cigarette! Most of the famous clients get to do this in private, but you are brave confident men to put it all on film and share it with us. Thank you and Happy New Year!
''Old Suit? This suit was cut by Hawkes of Saville Row! Just because the best tailoring you've ever seen is above your fucking appendix...'' - Withnail.
How can you suffer from poor self-esteem, Mr Sandbrook? You are both gorgeous and intelligent! You both look so handsome and have given me such enjoyment this year. Loved the Albert Hall show and have booked for next May. Thanks so much and this was such an enjoyable peek into Savile Row.
Fascinating contrast between the suit first worn by Tom at the start of the film and the finished product which showed off Tom to be a fine clothes horse. Tells you everything you need to know about the skills of Saville Row Tailoring
Fascinating. Thank you guys. Now I know I have a dropped shoulder which is not uncommon and why my backpack tends to slip off my left shoulder. I would give my eye teeth (if I still had them) to be measured and fitted for a Savile Row suit. One day when I drop the Lottery, it would be my 1st call to action.
Wow, don't you boys look dapper! Superb outcome from chancing your arm (ahhh, wouldnt we love the histories of phrase and fable...), this was a fun show thankyou for brightening up Boxing day.
last night I watched the Mike Leigh film Vera Drake. there was a men's suit fitting (character was going to his sister's wedding). era 1950. 2 pc or 3 pc...that's it
Bowie dabbled very briefly with a Hitler fascination. By the last period of his life, he was simply ( politically, at least ) a very conventional left-wing UK rockstar. Clapton’s trajectory rather similar. Being very good mates with Roger Waters has ‘helped’.
At 3:37. The guy in the middle has a really badly fitted suit on. The jacket is too tight at the middle. The collar does not rest on the neck, and the suit looks well worn and wrinkled.
I don't like back pockets in suits as I don't wish to sit on anything within them, and objects can stretch the woollen cloth from bending over, so why bother with their presence at all.
As Marlena Dietrich was a former customer I'd say yes 😊 there are women saville row tailors that are worth a look (I mean....if you've got a spare £6k 🤐🤪🥴
Alan Bennett wrote a dreadful play, he knew nothing about bespoke tailoring.The plot being an impossibility, because savile Row tailors would never accept the measurements of Ian novice. Alan Bennett clothes obviously off the peg. He should have stuck to writing what he knew about. Is monologues were wonderful. I have always hankered for a spivy bold chalk stripe to attract scandalous sex reputation.

Thank you for sharing !
Nice.
Holland and Sandbrook looking elegant and polished! Be still my beating heart. Love the episode. Love the look.
Undoubtedly, this is the podcast which has made my 2024 and reinvigorated my own history teaching. Dominic and Tom, thank you for everything.
This was a lovely Boxing Day treat. Have to say that I am envious of Holland's new suit.
Glad we got to know Tom and Dominic’s measurements now I can continue my work on life size replicas. They’ll be on the merch shop soon
This is amazing. I’d love to see more episodes like this!
Yes! So many amazing old places like this. Berry Bros for wine! They could have so much fun.
Absolutely.
Brilliant!!! Loved every minute of this. So well made! The suits looked fantastic, and the expertise was fascinating. What an incredible company! Great spin off. Dominic, you looked so handsome! Tom, elegant as ever 😀
Two very handsome fellows, with or without their tailored suits! Thanks for taking us for this ride. Cheers! ❤🎉
You're blind. They are Mr. Toad and Mr Geek. I really love their podcast, but they are not Fred Astaire and Laurence Olivier

We Brits need to sell our craftsmanship far more. We make brilliant stuff.
A saville suit is on my bucket list. 😊
The bucket will be needed for the money ££££
LOVE this! 🎄🎄
Absolutely brilliant ❤
There's nothing like a well tailored suit on a man. Its elegant, polished and very cool. The guys look great.
For one brief moment I thought Fred Astaire and Laurence Olivier had taken over The Rest Is History. Then I realised it was just Tom and Dom in posh suits.
Tom made such a good call to go with a three piece pinstripe suit. You got some beautiful suits, they look so natural and comfortable.

With his lanky frame, Tom looks fabulous in his pinstripes. I hope Dom will indulge his inner Badger and get himself a thick brown tweed outfit.
Wow! Loved this.
Wonderful! Bravi!

Enjoyed this so much. Happy Christmas
Looking good, lads.
This is amazing.
Other than seeing TRIH on the prowl, I'm even more delighted to finally see Theo, our MVP Frenchman (we can't all be perfect)!
What a lovely treat! You both look mah-velll-ous!!! (And yes, Daniel Craig’s suits are too tight!)
Incredible. Amazing suits.
What a great episode.
Love it. There is nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to dress for an occasion!
Lovely Boxing Day treat, thank you! Wish I could be with you in May at the RAH. Happy New Year!

Sharp and divine looking fellows....👍
This was fantastic. Interesting and hilarious.

The intro goes so hard 0:00 😂 not even kidding 😅
Brilliant episode. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄.

Very enjoyable and informative. Loved it.
Received some shortbread endorsed by his Majesty so I'm feeling pretty classy myself.
Me too! A giant 2kg tin! ❤
Fascinating. Thank you guys. Now I know I have a dropped shoulder which is not uncommon and why my backpack tends to slip off my left shoulder.

Brilliant !
Not that you needed any help but the two of you were exceptionally handsome in your suits!
Dressed like grown ups, love it!
I had no idea how much work goes into a high end custom suit.
The selection questions - reminded me of ruched, not ruched (IYKYK)
I suspect I would need a lot of “room for lunch”….
I had no idea Dom was so tiny in comparison with the enormous Tom
Somewhere Kirby Allison is seething, LOL (IYKYK)
This was very british!… love it
so important to have excellent clothing!
last night I watched the Mike Leigh film Vera Drake. there was a men's suit fitting (character was going to his sister's wedding). era 1950. 2 pc or 3 pc...that's it
Where can we watch the podcast 'The Suit, Savile Row, and Smartly Dressed Men'? Would love to watch the video of the podcast
Mr Toad? Dom would look great in some plus fours imho
Was Dominic wearing the wrong shoes?
Bowie dabbled very briefly with a Hitler fascination. By the last period of his life, he was simply ( politically, at least ) a very conventional left-wing UK rockstar. Clapton’s trajectory rather similar. Being very good mates with Roger Waters has ‘helped’.
Nice - how much was it?
Clothes make the man
At 3:37. The guy in the middle has a really badly fitted suit on. The jacket is too tight at the middle. The collar does not rest on the neck, and the suit looks well worn and wrinkled.
The guy? Wash your mouth out with soap!
. . . and then agreed that Daniel Craig's suit is too tight? Yea, right!
I always wanted a Savile suit, until l heard about all those terrible things he did while he was alive 😱
@dieworkwear has some reach. The King of Spain comment is classic dieworkwear
Thierry Henry, hands down. 🤟
High stakes- like feeding cannabis to a cow.
He seems so french.
Black waistcoat with grey pinstripe to look less of a gangster, as for Mr toad well he looks like the acused 😑
I don't like back pockets in suits as I don't wish to sit on anything within them, and objects can stretch the woollen cloth from bending over, so why bother with their presence at all.
Dashing look gentlemen. I want a suit for myself. Do they outfit women?
As Marlena Dietrich was a former customer I'd say yes 😊 there are women saville row tailors that are worth a look (I mean....if you've got a spare £6k 🤐🤪🥴
This is just a comment, not pejorative in any way but, no women

You guys🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very cool. When's the US tour?
