  • Kirby Allison, Founder of Hanger Project, had the opportunity to visit Huntsman's cutting room in New York. It is the first cutting room to be opened by a Savile Row tailor outside of London. Ed Turco takes us through the cutting room and talks to us about their signature tweed style.
    H. Huntsman & Sons is a high-end fashion house and tailor located at No. 11 Savile Row, London. It is known for its English bespoke menswear tailoring, cashmere ready-to-wear collections, and leather accessories.

    Those lapels are not wrinkled, it’s the glue that keeps the two parts of the lapel together which is loosening. This usually happens when the suit gets wet. This has got nothing to do with taste or style, it’s a sign of a cheap suit.

    Thanks Kirby, great history on tweeds, I did not know until know how and where the material originated from. In your experience could these tweeds be worn in our lovely hot muggy Houston weather?

    I know I’m late to the party, a lot of people in the comments are saying that the gentleman’s suit is a cheap fused ready to wear suit. At first it seemed to be to be the case, however zooming in it seems to be made of seersucker which is very wrinkly in itself. I may be wrong but either way I recommend looking up seersucker as it is a fascinating cloth.

    Informative video, thank you. The calendar may say October but it is still too warm to wear traditional tweed in the NYC area. I will have to look into the lighter weight tweeds.

    This guy know way more suit stuff than i do, but his suit fit awfully: the shoulder canvas looks like a rock and the lapel wrinkles... Not a good image for his brand.

    Hi Kirby I have a question/possible topic you could discuss. I was wondering whether different house styles lead themselves to different fabrics and colours better than others. I have a local tailor from Sicily who id love to try but I'm not sure whether the cut would suit every style of fabric when trying to keep a modern look.

    Hi Kirby. I have a question that is not related to the video but as this is your most recent you may see my question. What is the correct way to iron a pair of corduroy trousers please? Thanks.

    Hi Kirby! Would you mind providing me with suggestions regarding High neck polo sweaters in bright red.. Combining suits with high neck polo sweaters during winters in Europe is truly something i enjoy! Do you have any brand in particular or store you could suggest?

    Hi Kirby! I was wondering how you take care of your hair. Why you use for example what looks like a gel instead of a softer pommade or lighter wax for a more natural look?

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  5 років тому

      Yoda I use a cream pomade. Something soft that easily washes out without shampoo.

      It depends what you are looking for. Negatives: Their last elongates the foot and is quite pointy.
      Positives: leather is wonderful and supple. Very comfortable.

    Hello Kirby! I'm getting more into classic menswear and have started thinking about learning how to sew my own shirts. Do you know if there's any kind or rule on where this seam should be placed on a shirt? oi67.tinypic.com/116ucyc.jpg

      The lapels are one part, but the fabric is floating way above his shoulders, making a weird neck crease.

    His suit looks and fits awful not because he cannot afford a bespoke suit, but because he saves the company's budget to be able offering you all (and me too) affordable prices for their suits! Or he is demostrating that it doesn't matter to him what we think about him 😆😆😆
