Behind the Needle: How to Become a Master Tailor | Kirby Allison

Today, I sit back down with Reza Haraji—founder of Akeila and the International School of Tailoring—whose remarkable journey from graphic designer to master tailor offers invaluable insight for anyone drawn to the sartorial arts. Together, we explore what truly defines bespoke tailoring, how craftsmanship and storytelling intertwine, and the lessons Reza now shares with students around the world. Whether you’re an aspiring apprentice or simply curious about the path to mastery, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into the mind—and hands—of a modern master. 🔍 MORE ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF TAILORING 🔸 Website: https://www.internationalschooloftailoring.com 🔸 Instagram: @official.isot 🔍 MORE ABOUT AKEILA 🔸 Website: https://www.akeila.ltd 🔸 Instagram: @akeila.ltd 🔍 MORE ABOUT REZA 🔶 Instagram: @hotneedleandburningthread 🙌 SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL / @kirbyallison 📽️ Join this channel to support our content with independent craftspeople and artisans: / kirbyallison 🛒 Shop All Kirby Allison Products: https://www.kirbyallison.com #bespoketailoring #educational #kirbyallison 📽 OTHER SUGGESTED VIDEOS WITH REZA HARJI https://youtu.be/cbe9pEccCWQ?si=Mbz17I_zBxCHlhF5 🌟 MOST POPULAR VIDEOS ▶️ $400 Shoes vs $1300 Shoes - A Black Cap Toe Oxford Comparison: https://youtu.be/uKFO_x8C2ek ▶️ Gentlemen's Day Out In London | Kirby Allison & Tom Chamberlin: https://youtu.be/NIwK7DuPzI8 ▶️ Inside The Original John Lobb London: https://youtu.be/pc_TsO2lfUk ▶️ How To Cut A
