I’ve posted a number of videos made by Andrew Yamato<\/a> showing the work of Rory Duffy<\/a>, which I enjoyed.<\/p>\n

Last weekend I was working a show in Brooklyn, where both Rory and Andrew are located, so I had the great opportunity to meet them both.<\/p>\n

Rory is Savile-Row trained and I have spent most of my career in the RTW industry so we were sharing notes, which proved to be very interesting. Rory provided some fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes workings of Savile Row which I really enjoyed, and I gave him some pointers on production-ready sleeve patterns. I loved one observation he made that “Rock of Eye [a very loose pattern making technique] is only good for those who don’t actually have to sew up their own cutting. I pity the tailors who do have to sew that up.” I quite agree. <\/p>\n

Talking about drafting is one thing, however, and doing is quite another, so Rory pulled out a roll of pattern paper and started drafting. Then it was my turn to draft. I think we both learned a few things, and if nothing else, we had some fun.<\/p>\n

This sort of thing should happen more often, and if it does, hopefully Andrew will be able to get it on film.<\/p>\n
