FAQ’s www.kirbyallison.com/faq
Kirby Allison explores how for the first time in history, a century old Savile Row Tailor shop is opening a full time location and cutting room in America. No longer will clients only need to commission a suit by visiting London 3-4 times a year! The new shop is located at 130W. 57th Street in New York City.
Join Kirby Allison on this journey as he is led through the entire bespoke process by Ed Turco, managing director of Huntsman New York, and Ralph Fitzgerald, the London born head cutter. Ralph spent the best part of 10 years training with the rest of the Savile Row team, learning directly from co-head cutters Dario Carnera and Campbell Carey in London.
In 2016 Huntsman and Sons became the first Savile Row tailor to take up permanent residence in New York. Accessible only by appointment, their studio offers a sartorial home from home for those in the know. Bespoke specialists are on hand to advise on fabrics or assist with choices from their ready to wear collection. Or book an appointment with their Savile Row-trained cutter for measurements and fittings. Every bespoke garment then returns to London, to be handmade by their expert team of tailors.

more than 2 years later, we're still longing for Kirby's Huntsman suit delivery and review
Knowing Huntsman so is he ;)
Over 2 years later, I can tell you that it was a COVID casualty.
@@sackwhacker where is the next video, I am dying to see the result. Did they forget about kirby's order. Imagine placing an order for a wedding suit and not getting it delivered 🤣
@@neerajnongmaithem392 covid casualty means that it was scrapped
@@joelstevens6792100%
The ideas behind this are refreshing in what feels like such a short-term, disposable society.
Exactly.
People can't afford quality. Vast majority of the population has been making less and less money over the decades.
@@godbelow go thrift at your local goodwill. There is a lot of good quality vintage suit that needs to be worn. No need for bespoke suits if you want quality.
@@godbelow Kids pay 800 USD for some kicks today made in the east or 300 USD for a Supreme t-shirt.
@@godbelow more like people are too stupid to save a little here and there
This guy is The Reviewbrah all grown up and grown into his dad's suits.
Yeah😂
😂😂😂😂
"Well, after six months of work and much suspense, this is Your Bespoke Suit, going in." *begins stuffing your suit into his mouth*
He and Kirky need to get together for an episode.
one has suits hand made by men who’ve spent decades mastering their craft. The other stuffs his face with greasy fried food made by 16 year old kids working part time. Exactly the same!
My mother was a tailor at Huntsman , Saville Row , London UK in the 60s/70s/80s
Ilkay Silk You could interview her and upload the video here. It would be so interesting to hear her talking about the craft and if it gave her any physical problems and so on!
your last name is Silk? no wonder.
Not a Seamstress?
I remember visiting her at work as a child and young adult. She was a Turkish Cypriot by birth and we emigrated to the UK in 1953.. Her extraordinary skills at embroidery meant that all the buttonholes and finishing on the jackets were first class! In fact, Huntsman did not want her to retire. She spoke of her time there with great affection and pride.
@@Hengel_Andrews Tailor is a gender neutral term. A seamstress or stitcher is a different job. A tailor typically fits, patterns, cuts, sews, and alters a garment. A seamstress or stitcher only sews or alters a garment. There is overlap between term usage nowadays because of misunderstanding from the general public outside the industry.
I love watching masters working in their field of passion.
These people are so calm it's crazy
This is straight up a professional documentary. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
It must be great to live like a true gentleman n NYC. I miss out on the good life , that's for sure.
Most epic body measurements scene ever!
I was just thinking the same

What defines Kirby? Answer, the Bespoke experience
Ralph: these shears are priceless and no one should f with them
Kirby: *does best Edward Scissors impersonation*
Siul Nilla 😂 He was a gentleman to allow me to use them!
He didn't, look at his face as your clanging them around, and then you cut the scene.. wow. Unimaginable..
You’re really the perfect person to interview these guys and get a suit. You have a true understanding and apperciation of their art. Hope I can get one myself one day.
I had never heard the word "bespoke" until I watched his videos...and he says it a lot.
You could make a drinking game out of it!
This young man is impressive - very articulate and knowledgeable. I’d have him make me a suit any time.
Ah the memories of going to my fathers Tailoring and Dry Cleaner shop on Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn in the early 80's. The city was the gritty NYC that is still frozen in time in countless films but no longer exists after years of economic and social improvement and development. Gone for the most part are the grit, grime and crime of that era and now replaced by a corporate and sanitized "largest safe city in the USA".
The excitement I felt when I entered the shop, a cozy little space that my father bought from the previous owner who retired...all the machines vintage, I remember marveling with wonder and great respect for the sharp sheers that my father used like a master to cut fabric on chalk lines as if his hands were computer guided. I remember the smell of machine oil and fabric that pervaded the space giving it a quality almost as if you'd just stepped back in time. I remember the many patterns that hung on the walls and rafters of the place that my father used to tailor bespoke garments when charged to do so by his clients. I remember the whir of the garment loop that hung the clients finished clothes that were dry cleaned or altered and ready to pick up. The smell and sound of the steam powered press that took the wrinkles out of even the stiffest of wools. It all seemed like absolute black magic...occasionally I'd brave the machines with my father's watchful but approving eye over me as I tried to stitch together little garments like wallets and cloth pen carriers.
One of the great joys of these videos for me Kirby is the memory of working in my Papi's shop that they bring...the smells, the discipline and craftsmanship that he demonstrated daily for 25 years after landing on American shores from the island of Ayiti. That dedication to crafting garments didn't land in me as it did in my father but was transformed, where he cut cloth with sheers ...I cut code with copy and paste. Where he constructed garments from shaped forms ..I build applications from abstract representations of software function woven together at API boundaries. I like to think that I am just as much a craftsman as he was but in my domain and today as I am soon to enter my fifth decade I move to cultivate the refined sense of style that my father demonstrated through is wardrobe and the construction and care of garments that he lived through out his career.
Thank you for that charming and poignant journey through a time before my own.
@Kirby Allison, At 46 years old, I am finally starting to learn and appreciate the finer points of men’s fashion. You are serving as my professor and I thank you for that. You do a fine job of teaching.
I can't believe I just watch a complete video of the making of a suit that I will never wear, could never afford, and can't even imagine how much something like this would cost. But interesting documentary.
If you dream it and put your mind into it you will.. it might take years but you will
Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Kirby Allison.
Kirby Allis ...
AND THE THING I LIKE BEST ABOUT THE FABRIC IS THE SENSE OF UNIQUENESS THAT YOU JUST DON'T GET WITH....
Mr. Allison: You are such a great interviewer. You always allow your subjects to shine.
Hook 'em Horns!
Ralph seems so cool! A true gent.
The class of Kirby's videos are unmatched. Great work my friend! May our hats be forever tilted your way.
Brilliant! I am a woman's creative tailored pattern cutter for over 18 years in England, I've now since moved to CAD for efficiency, but you can't never not enjoy how bespoke tailors apply their trade, a joy to watch.
Really enjoyed watching Ralph doing his work. You can really feel the passion.
Loved the rundown of specifics for your selections beginning 31:52. Those details and ideas just flow so easily and thoughtfully for both gentlemen. Their years of experience are obvious and fascinating.
46:45 interesting watching Ralph’s intensity and concentration as he critiques the garments fit. Comparable to an artist studying his painting, adding brush stokes as needed.
Impressed. Ralph is a real class act.
Kirby talks to some of the best dressed men, yet his suits are always the best fitting.
You can feel Ralph's passion for this
10 years ago, I would have killed to work at Huntsman. I made custom wedding gowns and I always wanted to get into suits. I spent many afternoons watching the one Italian tailor in Cincinnati fit my father before he retired. There's never been anything like the feeling of sitting down with a client and building for them an absolutely custom garment to fit their particular body and their particular tastes and lifestyle.
I live in Cincinnati and I’m currently looking for high quality bespoke suit, any suggestions where I can look or I would have to travel to NYC? Any suggestions
Thank you
That limestone story is amazing!
Clearly the inspiration for the film Kingsman!
Kirby, you have been talking about your desire to do a Netflix show for awhile now. This video (although mini-documentary is a better term) should be all Netflix needs to see to know that they should pick it up as a series!
If you know anyone there, let me know! 🙏
I love the dialogue Kirby. One of my favorite episodes in
The next generation of high artist. What an utterly talented young man. My bucket list includes a Saville row fitting, and meet a Huntsman cutter. Unlikely, but we all have to dream. The epitome of civilization!
Probably the best documentary on men’s suit! Thank you
My favorite channel on UA-cam , Kirby you inspired me to appreciate establishments like these even more now with pure quality, as well as building a lifetime relationship with them.
Thanks for letting us poke our camel noses under the tent of the bespoke suit making process. This was truly a unique learning experience.
How generous of Huntsman and the wonderful cutter. Bravo!!! Thank you Kirby!
This was amazing to watch -- seeing them walk through the process, and seeing the obvious attention, care, and love that they pour into their garments is truly something special. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to go through this process for myself.
This by far was my favorite tailor that you have showcased. Ed was brilliant in his recommendations. Can't wait to see how it all develops. Cheers!
Ed and Ralph make a fantastic team. Ed brings a depth of knowledge level of service only possible from someone who has worked in the industry for 40 years, and Ralph is young, talented and full of creative energy!
Kirby, you are in your own lane my friend. This information is GOLD!! Thank You
Just as thrilling as a top level TV series. Brilliant.
Mr. Allison, this video is a masterpiece. Thank you so much for documenting these craftsman and their art.
This is one of my favorite videos right now. I applaud you and your team for bringing this together and executing the experience for viewers in a incredible way. I think everyone participating appreciates that, too. You're bringing back so much historical qualities (even to the way you've presented this) and levels of sophistication is unprecedented and even much needed. I admire this greatly.
Are you high? Because it really seems like it.
You Are Truly Well Spoken Yourself; Madame!!!!
Well done! Your enthusiasm shines through! You are a great spokesperson for quality, craftsmanship, and bespoke. Thanks for being an alternative to the untucked trend! Keep up the great work!
What a unique and fascinating tour. A peek inside the world of master craftsman plying centuries old traditions guided by an aficionado's aficionado. Thank you so much, Mr. Allison - please keep up your fantastic work.
I came to learn how to do a proper shine on my shoes a month ago. These videos have evolved into very fine productions done as well as the craftsman featured. I now only drink high end Whiskey and am looking to restore a right hand drive Jaguar XKSS.
To watch such a young artisan, is refreshing.
Great job on this video, Mr. Allison!
I am a huge Huntsman fan, love there style and cut. Can hardly wait to see first fitting and final product. Great choice on fabrics.
What does something like this cost?
@@joshblubaugh6050it depends on the cloth but in 2024 a two piece suit starts at around £6,500 ($8200) and can go upwards of £15,000 ($19,000). Most of the top tailors are somewhat similar, my tailor, (Redmayne 1860) is a little cheaper (starting around £5,500 ($7,000), if you choose a really expensive cloth it can get very, very expensive, the most expensive suit currently available on Saville row is $75,000.
So important to have this video available. Thank you Kirby keep doing what you're doing!
I kinda liked the music. I didn't realize everyone was an expert on content creation these days. Keep the videos coming!
I agree, I think the music choice not only helps break up the talking points with tasteful contrast, but also frame the viewer's perspective around the technical nature of the craft itself.
Ooooooooo
I notice Kirby sitting at the front of the chair and being attentive. Good job.
Showing respect....a Gentleman
I am outrightly blown away. Learning real good.
What an incredible journey and education! Transported in time and felt like I was right there in the room with you Kirby!
Can't say enough about how well done and heartfelt this was! Cheers!
It’s great to be able to be part of this great artisanship experience with Kirby.
I can't wait to see the finished items. brilliant videos, the music was grand, suited the suit
Such wealth of knowledge, craftmanship and tradition...
appreciate that Huntsman allowed you guys to film and chat
I watch this channel because it makes me feel classier than I know I’ll ever be
Absolutely incredible film. I’d love to see more with this team.
opened my eyes to the sheer quality of the work. thank you
This is truly one of the most complete bespoke videos I have ever seen. Wonderful information, interviews and I loved every second of it!!!
Just found this channel yesterday, at first I wasn’t sure about it. An American in Saville Row suits seemed odd to me (I’m from London). However this guy is more British than I am 😁🙂 the channel is wonderful. This is what looking sharp is all about. If I had the cash I’d be straight on the trumpet to Ralph to get myself measured up for a bespoke whistle, what talent.
Thanks Kirby! Really enjoyed the peak inside! 😀
Thank you so much - true gentlemen at Huntsman ; amazing to watch , inspiring , professional documentary...fantastic, enjoyed it. Thank you.
The suits ideas are so unique and idealistic background where it came from.
these guys are like apprentice samurais learning from their master
Wow! Ed Turco really knows his stuff! What an incredible experience.
Ed is an encyclopedia of knowledge. One of the most talented “front of house” guys I’ve ever met!
Great segment, just subscribed. I'm from NYC...will have to visit sometime. Been on Savile Row in London.
This was excellent! I learned a great amount and eagerly look forward to a day when I too will have this experience.
Great video. Definitely makes me consider commissioning a Huntsman suit.
Fantastic video, you have captured the essence of bespoke tailoring.
That was an EXCELLENT video!
Most enjoyable listening to you both have a great conversation.
Dominic is really fun to listen to especially his historic knowledge and gracious and complimentary exchanges with you Kirby.
Well done.
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen on the web!!!
Never would I ever have a suit this nice, but it's very fascinating to see how they are produced.
i enjoyed every second of this
Great content, Kirby! Like a movie! Nice! Thanks!
What an amazing experience, I know I could never afford it but just amazing
This video is a sartorial masterpiece. Watched it while shining my new pair of Carlos Santos tassel loafers from Lisbon, Portugal.
Santos makes really good shoes!!
41:00 drafting the pattern so interesting listening to Ralph talk through the process
15:54 "and get new york and 57th street up to the same level as savile row, at some point". At some point.
What a great video, thanks for sharing.
Excellent narrative, video, the questions and answers. Simply the best Mr. Kirby. I love your style and choice of clothing even the emerald green coat very fashion forward you wore in your video while in London. I would imagine that a full suit is about $8,000.00 dollars and it is to be worn for life due to the quality and sense of value.
This video is actually really special, to be able to see the creation of the suit for free on youtube is excellent. Great if you want to become a tailor. Maurice Sedwell have guide videos, but goodness they're super expensive, like into the range of 10,000£ or more. They have a Savile Row apprenticeship again, costs £10K a year if your a UK resident.
ive learned so much from your channel. this is by far the best.
Beautiful! I just enjoyed the whole process.
"the ultimate pursuit is really the simplification of our lives" (at 27:13) is a little gem of wisdom that reaches far beyond clothes and shopping. Great intro and in depth visit with Huntsman.
Outstanding everything, from the interviews to the filming.
This episode is gold!
the lapel on Ralph's jacket was very unique, cool talk
Loved to see all of it.
This video was simply Brilliant!!!!
Hopefully good colours for you to wear were chosen. Great place and stories.
I just enjoy all your videos you have made me fall in love with Bespoke Craftsmanship 👍🏻
Much respect as a kustom builder myself, Thank you
I can't wait for the second part of the fitting in a few weeks
Terrific video! Informative, well produced, and a pleasure to watch. Thanks, Kirby...this easily earned a "subscribe."
I’m just more of an Italian style myself. Everything involved here is absolutely beautiful, I highly respect it all. The style though… dated, in my humble opinion. I like the sleeker, slimmer look in Italian tailoring and very current fabrics and design.
Wonderful! Did not know they opened a location on the westside of NYC.
Dude is passionate about high quality artisans. I love it.
just wonderful
Not a fan of NYC, but I admire his talent. Someday I’ll get a bespoke suit.
This video is Majestic to say the Least….. Just Magical….. Fantastic Job…… FANTASTIC JOB 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
One-word sums up this video, beautiful!
Wow Kirby that was fantastic! A full on documentary. Well done and thank you.
