Are you curious about how we make our garments? Why does a canvas matter in a tailored jacket? Did you know that canvases can be constructed differently for different seasons and different purposes? Have you ever thought about the shape of the sleeve at your shoulder? Have a look at some of the videos we have made recently on our YouTube Channel

In this video we discuss summer suits, materials, and the construction details we use to keep you cool. If you stop into the studio this time of year, you are bound to see this type of work on the shop floor.

As we start to take orders now that will be finished mid to late August, we have also produced this video on construction for transitional jackets, three-season, and warm-season tailoring. Think tailoring that can take you from steamy late summer afternoons into cooler fall evenings.

If we have captured your interest and you want to learn more, we have also made a two-part video on canvases in general. Why do you need a canvas? Part one is focused on canvas types, commercial canvases versus custom made canvases, glue in versus hand hung or basted in canvases and different materials used in making canvases

In Canvases part two, Philip talks about different approaches to constructing and hanging canvases

Have you ever thought about sleeve crowns (the top of the sleeve, where it joins the shoulder)? Did you know this can be constructed in a variety of ways? In this video, Philip discusses three basic sleeve styles we produce in the studio: roped sleeves, flat sleeves and spalla camicia, or Neapolitan sleeves.
