I've been working with Divij for the past 6 months. Things are going very well and I'm more excited with every new session that we do. The value that he provides is absolutely outstanding. Jeans is going to be very high on my list in the next 6 months!
@@scarymonkey3496 Lol I'm going one further, the middle east is where Europeans are originally from when Europe was under ice. The European left in multiple waves first from modern Iran into India, Asia and through the Caucasus and then many more waves from Mesopotamia, North Africa to Roman Empire when they crossed the Mediterranean. They fled due to invasion from the Arabian Peninsula and multiple invasion from Eurasia, think Mongols, Ghengis Khan
There was an article I read years ago that discussed how some Saville Row tailors were now making bespoke denim jeans/trousers. Much more pricey than Levi's.
This is a great video. As someone working from home since COVID I am glad to see a video about bespoke denim. I would like to see this topic (bespoke business casual) expanded upon in your videos. Keep up the great content!!
That is what I love about Mr. Allison's approach, he is not talking about 1 or two pairs, no he talks about dozens but all joking aside, I love the diversity of your channel and how you keep addressing so many different topics. A fantastic transformation from a great educational channel to a very informative entertainment program. Thanks for the great content
Loved this video! The passion about bespoke clothing and especially in a niche such as denim comes across through Divij's descriptions, backstories, as well as insights he brings in this video! Truly immersive! So glad I spent time watching this one! Thanks @Kirby for doing this episode! Look forward to more such videos with Divij...
I don't find words to describe how immersed you make us feel in every video, the Passion you share and all the knowledge is just sublime and powerful, thanks for everything 🥂
As a denimhead, I am happy to see content about selvedge denim discussed on this channel and didn’t expect to see this here! I highly recommend Naked & Famous Denim from Montréal!
As a women it's nearly impossible to find 100% cotton denim, almost everything out there has spandex in it as well and I cannot stand denim with stretch. It doesn't break in and wear the proper way. I have found them at many places but still quite rare and around 150 USD. I have found some great affordable 100% denim boyfriend women's jeans at American Eagle of all places but would love to have a reliable source
Hello Kirby from the UK ….. please can you advise where and whom is best to see in the uk these kinds of Denim …… I’m 36inch inside leg and always find it difficult to get the right style and fit ….. cheers 👍
Agreed and especially a strange statement when one includes some of the top end Japanese brands which are well regarded in the sartorial community. Admittedly while variety is hardly lacking fit is an challenge.
As ever great. Fascinating new angles on clothes. I’ll remind the more pedantic, denim is De Nimes as in the French city and the word/garment jeans is from Genoa.
Diesel jeans for the win, absolutely one of the masters of jeans. Sure they make some extreme "far out there designs," yet their Italian made, expensive jeans are in a league of their own. Especially when it comes to color, the stone washes & the different textures & looks they can create are absolutely phenomenal. Until one sees them in real life, it'd be difficult for one to comprehend why/how special certain diesel jeans can be.
I'm a big fan of your videos! I would of liked to know what the cost of the denim is. Also, does Divij offer any discounts to Kirby Allison subscribers, if you mention this video?
I'm a huge fan of Jacob Cohen jeans... I have several pair, and some of those are the limited edition's serial numbered all made with top quality Japanese natural indigo died selvage denim... but this is new to me.. bespoke Jeans? I'm intrigued..
@@tomf7305 Thanks for the input. That's very realistic pricing, and I may enquire about possibly having Divij make me a pair when I meet with him next month! Much more affordable than my previous pair of denim!!
When I was growing up my parents had our jeans dy cleaned and they never faded. I and my siblings complained that we wanted to be like the other children in the neighborhood.
Kirby im just getting started and want to get a bespoke jacket out of all the wonderful houses that you have experience with, what would you recommend I’d like it to be around 2000$ us since I’m only just starting. I live in Miami so it’s always Hot
Wait so never wash the jeans? do you dry clean? I take my jeans up to 6 wears depending on usage, and soil level. Can someone explain this one to me or am i missing something lol
Yes you would dry clean them like you would a pair of slacks or a jacket. You can even have them starched. I had one pair of jeans I did this with because the color and fit was so well I didn't want the color to bleed or for shrinkage. As long as you shower and change your undergarments daily then your jeans will be fine and you don't dry clean after ever wear just every few months. This isn't recommended for work jeans or casual pair of jeans from the mall unless they are a really great mall pair. The pair I did this with was a pair of Lucky jeans. I also only wear 100% cotton jeans Lucky and American eagle have a great selection and men's clothing stores carry classic Levi's as well. I don't like jeans with stretch but sometimes you'll see denim that isn't 100% cotton but will have hemp which is not stretchy or they'll have some polyester in them which is also not stretch. I avoid denim/spandex blends which is the majority of the jeans out there
Hey Kirby, first off, love your channel. I've wondered for a long time about how tattoos are perceived by people within the well-dressed community. I have neck and hand tattoos among many others and I've been amused by the idea of showing up to a white tie event and turning heads (which is very unlikely to ever happen.) Any insight on what one might expect?
@@Blastoplastify " but as a piece of city clothing it is really bizarre." I can't say I agree with this. A well fitting pair of non-distressed selvedge jeans are very versitale and suitable for business casual. Ill fitting jeans and distressed jeans aren't recommended tho.
@@MauricXe exactly, like Bobby Axelrod in the show "Billions," he's a multi-billionaire & wears jeans (very nice/expensive) jeans as a "business casual" I suppose. Sure it's a TV show, yet it's probably based off real life experience. Especially with the blending/assimilation of pop culture into the high-end business world, people can pull off whatever they like as far as fashion goes. In most situations, I'd bet most people forego tradition when it comes to one being able to make more money.
Very first time I do not like Mr. Allison’s tie with that gorgeous sport coat…just doesn’t work….or perception on this side ha Great conversation, though😎
It's always nice to see two people talking to each other who are passionate about the topic. Very good Kirby videos

Jeans is going to be very high on my list in the next 6 months!
Kirby wondered, “How will these jeans look with my Opera Pumps and Braces”. 😂😂
Love Divij, love the video. I love the denim he has made for me.
Kirby, get one made and show us how you wear denim jeans.
Denim is from France - Serge des Nimes. It is not from US originally.
It is originally from Italy Genoa, also they said the first jeans pair with rivets is from the us not the first jeans pair ever.
Bread is from the Middle East. Then Italy found it. France made it famous. Shut up paul.

@@Willowtree82 Wrong, the Indo-Europeans came from the Ukraine into Western Europe, Anatolia, Iran and India
So after reading all these comments it appear nobody knows where it comes from 😂

Levi's also offers bespoke in some shops, I believe.
This is a great video. As someone working from home since COVID I am glad to see a video about bespoke denim. I would like to see this topic (bespoke business casual) expanded upon in your videos. Keep up the great content!!
We can feel the excitement from you Kirb. Tailored denim + brown blazer, or a guncheck pattern is 💯

Same - N&F makes the best entry point into raw denim.
Dude nice to see a fellow denimhead I wear jeans everyday!
This is making me think back to my brush denim, bell bottom leisure suit. LOL 🤣
I’m fine with my Wrangler’s. They look great with my cowboy boots and a western belt.
He was almost embarrassed to admit he wears “denim” on the weekend.
I had no idea Kirby wore denim!

Can't wait to see the olive green
To say there is not a wide variety of denim available outside of bespoke is crazy talk. There are so many brands and colors available.
Agreed and especially a strange statement when one includes some of the top end Japanese brands which are well regarded in the sartorial community. Admittedly while variety is hardly lacking fit is an challenge.
one thing is the quality of the denim and another is the style or cut of the jeans. italians mastered it imo
Can't wait to see the final products?
As ever great. Fascinating new angles on clothes. I’ll remind the more pedantic, denim is De Nimes as in the French city and the word/garment jeans is from Genoa.
Thank you, Maxine…
always like knowing origination of words/names😎
I literally couldn't agree more!
Big fan Kirby. I’m wondering your thoughts are on mixing tweed with denim for a unique casual look?
Great stuff Kirby
Thankyou kirby for great look into demin there are so many great ones thankyou again
Bespoke denim isnt on his site. How do we buy them? What is the price range?
Very interesting. I'm a corduroy person myself. Hope you might do a show about that material.
Diesel jeans for the win, absolutely one of the masters of jeans. Sure they make some extreme "far out there designs," yet their Italian made, expensive jeans are in a league of their own.

Divij suit is 🔥🔥🔥
Kirby in denim!!!!??? GET A ROPE!!! I love the channel. Wait! ya'll didn't cover sagging jeans? LOLOLOLO
I haven't worn a pair of jeans in about 5 years. Don't miss them at all but I'm thinking of maybe getting a pair made.
I like your jacket👍, and thank you for the videos. Yes, the quality of mass produced denim has gone downhill.
"Do you guys have a shrinkage allowance?"
That's a very personal question Mr Kirby.
I'm a big fan of your videos! I would of liked to know what the cost of the denim is. Also, does Divij offer any discounts to Kirby Allison subscribers, if you mention this video?
I believe the average cost is $395. Not sure about discounts, but great idea!
Thanks alot, I appreciate it! I am going to book an appointment with Divij soon.
I recently had my tailor make a pair of blue denim/linen trousers in a Solbiati fabric. I will wear these trousers with linen and hopsack jackets.
Bespoke jeans...😅...I have seen it all now..next vid: bespoke drawers
My favourite jeans are Japanese with 70% cotton 30% wool. Ideal for dress denim fabric.
I'm a huge fan of Jacob Cohen jeans... I have several pair, and some of those are the limited edition's serial numbered all made with top quality Japanese natural indigo died selvage denim... but this is new to me.. bespoke Jeans? I'm intrigued..
Another great video Kirby, thank you...
Could you list the website for people you feature in your videos in the description or am I missing it?
Would have been nice to get a price range for some of these pieces.
About 400.
@@tomf7305 Thanks for the input. That's very realistic pricing, and I may enquire about possibly having Divij make me a pair when I meet with him next month! Much more affordable than my previous pair of denim!!
Very curious about that heavy weight cotton/hemp blend. (From Turkey, I believe you mentioned?) Who's the mill/merchant?
Mine are bespoke made for me by Mr Costco 👖
When are we going to get to see your Lee Miller boots you had custom made??
I looked up their old website for their custom suits but the site doesn't exist anymore.
Everyone should check out Brave Star for selvage on a budget. They are American made and beautiful!
When will they be ready?
When I was growing up my parents had our jeans dy cleaned and they never faded. I and my siblings complained that we wanted to be like the other children in the neighborhood.
What is your opinion of Delta Blue?
The bespoke denim tailor kept mixing up warp and weft. The *weft* of denim is typically white, not the warp.
I vote an episode about denim and workwear collaborating with Carl Murawski.
Let’s be honest this type of bespoke denim is going to make you look like Forrest Gump.
Come on.
I have a clothing brand, how to order with Divij a lot of jeans?
Kirby im just getting started and want to get a bespoke jacket out of all the wonderful houses that you have experience with, what would you recommend I’d like it to be around 2000$ us since I’m only just starting. I live in Miami so it’s always Hot
How about the price?
I wear Duluth trading company and Costco jeans. Is that bespoke?
Does the indigo come off on your hands
Do funeral directors wear denim?
I currently have no denim. My daily pants are from 5.11 Tactical, Tactile Pro Ripstop pants.
I loathe to go down the path of raw, selvedge denim (not even talking custom tailored yet)… it would quite possibly bankrupt me.
Kirby, when will part 2 of the Dominic Casey ASMR video be released?
Kirby most definitely needs some extra space in the groin area.
Wait so never wash the jeans? do you dry clean? I take my jeans up to 6 wears depending on usage, and soil level. Can someone explain this one to me or am i missing something lol

You do you mate. Don’t worry about other people.
Tattoos are trash adverts for trashy people. Burn em off and be a better person.
If I had a dollar for everytime they said “denim” I could afford some bespoke denim.
lol
Take a shot every time Kirby says denim
which tie know does Divij have here? four in hand or small ?
Don't own any jeans, I prefer dress pants for everyday wear.
Denim + blazer/jacket is a fashion crime but some are blind to it. Either go jeans/casual or go smart.
However denim with a tweed or corduroy jacket can look rather smart in a casual setting such as a coffee shop or bistro.
@@LlyleHunter nope, it's still wrong :) it's the mix of casual with tailored that is so incongruous. A jacket require chinos or tailored trousers
Sure bespoke jeans would be amazing. But how about a good leather jacket??
Why would anyone who doesn't work on a farm wear denim?
Can you do a Q&A video with your wife aka mail order bride ?
Is that the same divij lol
So I take it your not a fan of jeans I wear jeans with a blazer and chelsea boots and a casual shirt
Some people are too “high class” for that look like he said its about looking smart and formal even in “casual” clothing

Anyone count how many time ms the word denim was said lol
You have mighty strong thighs fur a ‘white boy’ Kirby. Hashtag impressed - or whatever the kids say these days!
Calling jeans.. denim trousers.. .... ........
Beats comparing a dark blue suit to a suit of armour 😂😂
Very first time I do not like
Mr. Allison’s tie with that gorgeous sport coat…just doesn’t work….or perception on this side ha
Great conversation, though😎
Denim? Really?
i didn't see denim being used as formal wear, it was for work
Interesting denim.. Naked and Famous. Bespoke you can buy. Interesting is different. Thanks for the effort. Warp and Weft. Check it out.
Ghastly
@KirbyAllison your hairs is thinning ..
Please take care
