First post here but I hope it might be useful for people....
By way of background I've been fascinated by tailoring for a few years and being based in London have been lucky enough to get some excellent advice and tuition from various cutters and tailors in and around Savile Row. Trousermaking was where I started out but one thing I initially couldn't get my head around was the whole 'ironwork' piece so often discussed online. Whilst there are lots of pictures out there I have never come across a video so when shaping up a leg of a pair I'm making thought I'd rectify that...
The legs were lightly shaped (the photo is of the underside) before sewing up so this video is of additional shaping.
Sorry it doesn't show the whole thing but my camera was playing up at first so I lost the shaping of the topside...!
