An Unexpected Birthday Gift from London — Unboxing the Atlas Tailors Thimble | Kirby Allison

Some gifts reveal more about the giver than the object they contain. When Reza Haraji of Akeila Bespoke sent me a birthday present from London, he did not reach for something easy — he sent me the Atlas Tailors Thimble, a tool he designed himself over years, through twenty-three iterations and seventeen prototypes, tested with more than three hundred working tailors, because he believed the craft deserved something worthy of it. My history with Reza goes back further than Akeila — to Chittleborough & Morgan on Savile Row, where I first met him as an apprentice coat maker, and where he once, entirely without fanfare, rescued my morning suit from a rather public disaster at Royal Ascot. This video is the story of that friendship, that gift, and what it means to a tailor to finally have the tool the work has always deserved. 🛒 ATLAS TAILORS THIMBLE https://www.tailorsthimble.com/ 🔍 MORE ABOUT REZA HARAJI, AKEILA BESPOKE & THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF TAILORING 🔸 Akeila Bespoke: https://www.akeila.ltd/ 🔸 International School of Tailoring: https://www.internationalschooloftailoring.com/ 🔸 Atlas Tailors Thimble: https://www.tailorsthimble.com/ 🔸 Atlas Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atlastailorsthimble/ 🙌 SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCygkzPpueoIJQsLUnGEqFdA/join 📽️ Join this channel to support our content with independent craftspeople and artisans: https://www.patreon.com/kirbyallison 🛒 Shop All Kirby Allison Products: https://www.kirbyallison.
