Wonderful interview, Chris. A big thank you to Emma Willis MBE, for giving us her time and for enlightening us on the elements of shirt-making. While I have long known of the quality of Egyptian cotton and the term `two-fold' yarn, the significance of `Giza 45' aligned with `two-fold 100' yarn was a definite school day moment! Like others who watch this channel, I have an ambition to have some bespoke shirts (I would imagine there is a minimum quantity per order) and when I do, this video has made my mind up to choose Emma's company to turn that ambition into reality. Well done, Chris, for securing this delightful and informative interview. 👍P.S. I am sending you an email.

Hi John, glad you enjoyed the video, I will pass on your compliments to Emma. Emma's bespoke shirts require the first initial order to be 4 or more shirts. I fully endorse Emma Willis shirts and having seen the shirts and workmanship that goes into them , you would not be disappointments with the results. I've seen the email - just haven't had the chance to look at it properly, thanks John for your continued support.👍🙂

@@TheBritishDapper That's kind of you. I am really a tailor but have made my own shirts. I get asked if I make shirts but I tell people about the minefield that is collars, cuffs and yokes and is best left to dedicated shirtmakers. Yes, it would be great to link up sometime Chris. Not sure where you are based, I'm in Bristol, but I can let you know when I am up London way if you're ever around for a coffee. How do I contact you privately?

Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video and it's content. The 80's was a time of revival for the tie and collar bars and tie pins or clips. Thank you for supporting the channel👍🙂

Love the informative video. Husband is built like a rugby player so most clothes are made from scratch and I must admit Ms Willis's shirts are the dream.

Hi there, thank you for your comments and glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your input regarding the quality of the shirts from Emma Willis. Bespoke is ideal if you have a different body type or posture to an average person's measurements, so it is understandable your husband needs bespoke shirts. Thanks for your support and views on her shirts👍🙂

Just so you make the decision eyes wide open, for most bespoke shirtmakers the initial order is 4-6 shirts.

Hi Daniel, glad you enjoyed the video. You are quite correct and in Emma's case there is a minimum of 4 shirts for your first order, that is because of the time and expertise in taking your precise measurements and perfecting your shirt template. But if you can afford bespoke it is worth it, especially if you find off the shelf shirts don't fit you very well👍🙂

Hi Douglas, glad you enjoyed the video. if you can afford it bespoke is the best and you would be hard pressed to bet Emma's shirts, the materials and finish on them is excellent work. As Daniel has pointed out in Emma's case there is a minimum of 4 shirts for your first order, that is because of the time and expertise in taking your precise measurements and perfecting your shirt template and there is a wait time whilst the are being made, but well worth it if you can afford it.👍🙂

What about a video on handkerchiefs? I see pocket square videos all the time, but nothing about the lowly handkerchief. I've bought vintage box sets and some are paper thin. I iron a few and put each in a cellophane self sealing bag should I need a brand new one for the ladies. I also have vintage Dutch military ones in plaids that are fun due to their origin. I recently brought an oversized tartan Brooks Brothers shirt and want to get it made in to handkerchiefs, as I'll likely be the only gent with such handkerchiefs. lol I am thinking of a finished size of 12" x 12".

Hi there, thanks for your suggestion for a future video. Interesting that you suggest 12" by 12", but I would suggest that 15" by 15" would be far more effective, just my opinion👍🙂

Very cool video! I’d be curious to know if after a client loses weight, can his bespoke shirt be re-tailored or would/should he have to have a new shirt made?

Hi there Pete, lovely to hear from you, glad you enjoyed the video, that's a really good question, sorry for the delay in getting back you, I just wanted to get confirming from Emma about this in relation to her bespoke shirts and she confirmed that they can take shirts in, but not make them bigger so if you gain in weight your need new shirts, hope that helps 👍🙂

Glad you enjoyed the video Daniel, she makes shirts for the King and is, as your pointed out the same calibre as T&A, I'm not sure about Budd, but I'll take your word on that one. I'm sure she will be flattered by your comment. I am preparing another video about her about her charity 'Style For Soldiers' at the moment 👍🙂
