Preface

March 16, 2015 by Andrew Yamato

This video series -- which originally premiered over the course of 2014 on Will Boehlke's menswear blog A Suitable Wardrobe -- chronicles the making of a bespoke sportcoat by the Henry Poole-trained tailor Rory Duffy. It was the result of an informal partnership between Duffy and me that unfortunately dissolved before the project (or the coat) was ever completed.

While these videos (and their accompanying text) will obviously continue to serve a promotional purpose for Mr. Duffy, I do not endorse his business. Instead, I present this incomplete project as I most fundamentally conceived it: an unprecedentedly detailed exploration of Savile Row bespoke tailoring. I remain proud of the work I put into it, and hope it may continue to find a keen audience.
