Creating Illusions ;) noted!

Constructive criticism....Simon has a very regular bad habit of asking his guest a question, then as they pause midway through their answer, he butts in, and answers it for them. Very unprofessional, very rude, very arrogant. If you read this Simon, rewatch any of your interviews, and stop doing it....! The real art of conversation is learning to listen.....

In a world where quality and standards are declining, it is vital that companies like Gaziano and Girling survive and thrive. They are easily the best shoes I have ever owned.

Wonderful interview, I thought it was a very honest and real take on the industry. One minor point I take some issue with is the implication that Brexit has impacted the availability of skilled immigrant workers in the UK. If you look at the actual numbers however, the UK let in twice as many immigrants last year than they did the year prior to Brexit.

What a fascinating conversation. From someone who has just commissioned a suit for the first time, it is very interesting hearing both your reflections on the industry and tailoring in general.

Wonderful interview. Would love to have been there in person. Interesting and concerning issue tony raised regarding the scarcity of qualified staff and training. Hope this precious craft and indeed equipment finds a way to sustain.

The guy in the video is not pressing properly or using the sleeve board properly.... a sleeve board should be inside the dam sleeve....a 2x4 covered in cotton felt with the corners sanded smooth can be placed inside the sleeve to press easily.... make your own tools .... and you get exactly what you want ..... use 2x4 that is low in pitch content or use hardwood or even plywood

Take a pressing cloth I use flour sack material... fold it several times to get a gentle roll start with more thickness of press cloth at first being careful not to press hard and make a crease.... you can take a piece of 1/8th inch plywood covered with felt or thin cotton batting.... you can have a straight edge plywood or concave or convex... just steam the edge more than pushing down with the iron use plenty of steam or spritz the press cloth or plywood press board batting.... you can shape the lapel to take your desired shape.... using plywood (sand the edge to a nice roundthen cover with cotton felt/batting) covered with cotton batting or felt... this board will make pressing lapels easy make 2 one with convex lapel one with concave and both with a straight edge in the other side you can make this narrow so it fits into sleeves and it will speed your pressing... when you steam let the moisture dry thoroughly and the lapel will take a nice set without a crease or sharp line which runs the drape.

Very well done, but seems tailored (pun intended) for cooler weather. I'd love to see a version of this for warmer climes. Thanks.

Such a brilliant interview and fireside chat as always, Tony Gaziano really comes across as an immaculate, thoughtful and articulate gentleman, the perfect ambassador for both his brand and products.

If someone watched the entire coronation and only looked at the shoes the whole time I'd suggest they immediately get to an analyst because there is something seriously wrong with them.

Just found your Chanel. Really enjoying it. I do not dress formally. But still enjoy learning. Great job 🇬🇧

Where is your blazer from? It’s fire 👍🏼👍🏼

I always like monochrome and multiples for travel. (Admittedly, that's my go-to in general, but I like it even more for travel.) It's easy to pack a bunch of pieces in different weights that all work together. If you end up with weather that's not exactly what you expected and you end up having to re-wear something constantly It's not so obvious. Like, I just got back from Helsinki. It was supposed to be in the forties and fifties, but I brought a knee length gray cashmere coat just in case. (It's nice to have a luxe, elegant option for colder nights that's not formal if nothing else.) It was blizzarding almost the whole time we were there, so I basically wore it for a week. I was super happy to have a whole suitcase of black and gray separates to coordinate with it. Keeping it all monochrome reads more "signature look" and less, "this is the only jacket I brought that works."

As someone who is putting in the work to start a Menswear brand, love hearing these conversations. Gives some outside perspective for someone who is very sartorially isolated in the mid-west US. Any advice for trying to find/source manufacturers?

*finally* Love your videos and series

Why doesn’t this all this just get undone when the suit is cleaned?

Hate to see someone opening half the buttons on his shirt , looks awful.

This is priceless, sir. For someone who actually wants to do such thing , not having a teacher, this is priceless. Thank. you.

The prices are not a "destination" for what 99.9% of the general population. Not complicated.

Well explained and in such a way that an individual might easily modify the choices, based on the underlying logic (for instance, I don't really use t-shirts for general wear).

Let's talk menswear. Exposing your chest down to your belly is not cool.

What suitcase is that ? Of everything in the video it is the best.

This man looks like eric ten hag

Excellent, more videos please Simon

I am so pleased to see you back on video.

Q. do you stuff you sock into your shoes as a make-shift 'shoe tree' ? Look forward to more videos. Regards Tony

Delightful to catch up with contemporary evolution of Anderson and Sheppard since I first acquired my bespoke suits from them over the course of 35 years. Their attention to detail is absolutely top drawer.

Have just tried this step-by-step on a merino/cashmere blend, a fairly thicker knit. There is a kind of mildew smell however, not far from a wet dog (sheep) smell. Is this normal, does it go? Does it need air or what? Hope you can help. Was quite therapeutic but definitely a skill in there!

Thanks so much - this is incredibly helpful. People often talk about pressing in the context of why not to take a Jiffy steamer to a suit jacket, or simply allude to its mystique. But seeing the stretching and shrinking actually done clarifies the sculptor-like aspect of the craft a lot and makes it very clear what's at stake when it's time to clean a garment or take some wrinkles out. And of course it's invaluable to watch the workers' hands as they manipulate the fabric. This part will hopefully rub off a little as I maintain my own suiting at home. It may even help as I slowly graduate from a very basic level of sewing (basic hems and plans seams, mostly for home decor) to more challenging pieces.

Kirby Alison has done more than any British organisation or British business heads to Saville row.

This was absolutely brilliant.

although it was mentioned in passing, I would be interested in asking how is global warming affecting the types of fabrics used for suits, and how it affects the quality of the garment? I guess it's always been a consideration in warmer areas such as southern italy, france etc, but technically there's been developments also in fabrics, so I wonder how suit making will adapt.

I really enjoyed your interview! My wife and I are coming to England next year and since your interview was so down to earth I will certainly stop by Anderson and shepherd! You do an excellent job!

I wish I could have been there. Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing. I would have asked her 4 questions. But chief among them (and perhaps you could answer), she has an economics degree with an MBA (albeit in marketing), why doesn't AS buy a building on Savile Row? And I would ask this of all tailors on that street. Your company has been around for 100 years, 125 years, etc. Control costs. Surely as a business trained (and very smart) person, there has got to be a simple answer. I think I would like to buy the whole block and lease it back. Your thoughts?

What a wonderful interview. I love how Anda keeps raising the points about the importance of welcoming all people to bespoke and championing young people's tailoring skills. A very engaging interview! Thanks Tony

Very interesting thanks for doing this. Really living the dream! I went to Anglo Italian when I visited London and got a few pieces. Thanks for the guidance. Wondering, does made to measure have a measure have a bad association? She seemed to refer to mtm negatively.

Excellent discussion. More please!

Lovely discussion. This is my first introduction to Ms Rowland. Pleasure

Eddie Hayes has a stake in A&S? Very cool, I see him often as his office is right by mine. I’d love to hear about the recent presence of a side body on A&S. Obviously people want trimmer suits, but what makes their house style unique these days?

Are you wearing A&S suit Simon?

Tiny Rowland was an intriguing character

Thank you Simon, so interesting especially Anda's father's days. I wish them every success for the future. I've just looked through her website,such beautiful clothes. I agree with her to show the clothes on models. What a great asset Anda is to the industry. I wish her every success.

I'd wear a suit everyday but living in a costal area I'd just look silly so how can this be addressed?

Hi Simon this video doesn’t show on youtube, I must go through your website to access this video on youtube

Simon, you look so dapper, love your style, socks, shoes, how you sit even. If only i could dress the same, where i live in southern uk its very chavvy and scruffy dress. Do i just wear as you do because i like it?

Enjoyed the casual nature of this conversation. Good questions and you let Luke run with his answers.

Can't help to say Sky is missing from his name 😅
