The tailoring scene

Very impressed with Geoffrey Rush in this. Wondering if it might be explained on the DVD how he did the tailoring scene where he measured and cut out the suit jacket. Did he study the process or just study enough to mimic. I'd like to know what a real tailor thought of that scene. I have sewn for years but have never been as confident even with a pattern as he displayed in this movie! Shows he knows his craft. I would watch this movie again just to see his part as there are so many good scenes with him.

TIA

Before filming, Geoffrey went off and actually learnt how to accurately tailor a suit.

thank you! I thought he might have; so many actors give their all to learn something new to portray it properly.
