Located in the Piccadilly Arcade right off of London's famous Jermyn Street, Budd Shirtmaker has been outfitting some of the world's best-dressed for over 100 years. In today's video, we get to watch how senior cutter Darren Tiernan drafts a bespoke pattern completely from scratch.

As part of this series, we also visit the Budd Shirtmaker workshop in Andover where all of their shirts are crafted by a small and dedicated team of seamstresses.

4:08 I've noticed that masters rarely understand how interesting it is for us common folk to see them work.

“Probably not very interesting to watch”
All of us absolutely engrossed.😂😳

0:51 incorrect sir. It is always entertaining to watch a master at work.

Fantastic shirts. Kirby have you thought of taking a trip to Frank Foster shirts in PALL MALL London. He did all the shirts in James Bond early movies including ones with the the cocktail cuff. Unfortunately he passed away a good few years ago his wife who has been making the shirts for 40 years plus is still making the along with her daughter. They also have some vintage shirting material although they are now running out. Might be worth a visit.

He seems quite humble. Watching his straight lines isn't boring. I love observing the masters at work

I just watched your video and I absolutely loved it! I found your presentation to be incredibly informative and engaging. You did a great job of breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand terms. I also appreciated the humor and personal anecdotes that you sprinkled throughout the video. It made the content more relatable and enjoyable. You're one of the few YouTubers who I can consistently count on to deliver high-quality content. Keep up the great work!

"It's probably not entertaining to watch." The vast majority of people here would watch craftsmen and artists do every single thing with interest. I once watched a painter do a complete painting over 2.5 hours because I wanted to know about brush strokes and how to use them in various situations.

Everyone has their own way of working. Collar stands are usually curved upwards to lay better on the neck. 😊

4:08 it is great viewing …

@sunhuizart3821 3 years ago

The armhole is so much higher than the one I drafted. I guess high armholes are a thing on shirts as well as jackets. Kirby, is it hard to get such a shirt on? do you have to put it on the same way you do a jacket?
