About this series
  • Focused on ladies' jacket making, Rory takes his subscribers from pattern drafting to a finished garment.

    On his first fitting, he quickly notices several alterations that need to be remedied. When he reaches the “Fit Bar Finish” fitting, it’s still apparent that he has to go back and undo a lot of the work he was hoping to be done with.

    This is as real as it gets. Rory wanted to do something new by presenting his ladies' jacket-making series, giving viewers insight into how even industry professionals don’t get it right every time. If they did, then why would they insist on at least two fittings?

    Since many of our followers feel they are often taking one step forward and two steps back, Rory has shone the light on a reality that everyone struggles sometimes, and it’s this struggle that in the end will make us all better handcraft tailors.

    Nowhere else you can assess the skills and knowledge of an industry’s master at low and affordable prices.

Rory Duffy

From the very early days of Rory’s career, he envisioned a tailoring academy that would preserve, promote and enhance the art of handcraft tailoring across the globe. A school that is an example for the industry to follow, and one that its students would be proud to be members of. Rory’s mission is to show the world that the best way to learn handcraft tailoring is not through the outdated method of
apprenticeships but by arming each student with the knowledge and the skill set they so desperately desire.
