Season 1

Episode 140
Traditional tailoring might seem worlds away from technical gear—but the principles are the same. In this episode, Alasdair Leighton-Crawford of Cimoro shares how skills learned on Savile Row translate directly into better-fitting apparel, smarter pack design, and more intentional making.
We talk about:
- Why tailoring is one of the fastest ways to truly understand fit
- How athletic thinking and craft obsession shape better gear
- What most makers overlook when designing packs and apparel
- Balancing bespoke work, scalability, and running a small business
- Why making by hand still matters in an age of automation and AI
