In today's video, Kirby Allison shines for the first time his brand new bespoke black pigskin oxfords made by London-based bespoke shoemaker Dominic Casey. These shoes were Kirby's latest commission. For this pair, bespoke shoemaker Dominic Casey teamed up with famous west end maker Jim McCormack to make these pairs. Dominic Casey designed and cut the uppers while Jim McCormack did the making. Jim is widely-regarded as one of the best "west end" bespoke shoemakers, which is the style of making used by London-based bespoke shoemaking firms.
This is Kirby's fifth pair of bespoke shoes from Dominic Casey. Kirby chose the black pigskin because of the visual texture the materials offer. A great alternative to standard black calfskin, which Kirby already owns, pigskin offers additional visual texture that makes these shoes truly unique.

Did I just spend 50 mins watching someone shine their shoes...?? Great video!
Simple things like the way you speak about the polishing brush, and how you’ve thought about all the materials and design give me confidence when I buy from you, I can trust that I’m getting a quality product. It’s so nice to purchase products from people like you. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! We put a lot of work into all of our products to ensure they are the best!
I used to love shining my boots in the Air Force the only difference was we used a plain white t-shirt tightly wrapped and cheap Kiwi polish.
I’m amazed that you didn’t stain your white shirt!
Love those shoes! Perhaps my favourite of all your shoes. The pig skin gives them a really smart but purposeful look, and the design is perfect! 👌
Kirby, I just wanted to chime in and say I love and adore your ASMR videos, of ANY kind! My favorite so far has been the wet shave ASMR but I also love the shoe shining ones too. Thank-you!
Love the shoe shine videos, Kirby! Please keep them coming.
I had been looking forward to this. They might be your best shoes yet
Thank you for everything you do. It’s Helps a lot
Lovely pair of shoes the pigskin was a good choice. Kirby the next time you are in London have you thought of opening a little pop up shop? Some of your stuff is made in England so it would be easy to stock a pop up. I'm sure one of the Savile Row shops would help you out with all the free publicity you have gave them. Even better what about Davidoff i bet he would sell loads of extra cigars anyway its just a thought.
Agree 100% with this suggestion. Having somewhere in Europe to pick up his products would be ideal for his fans over here in Europe especially in Q4 of the year and Father's Day.
Hanger Project actually used to maintain a UK online store.
@@MrStephenfull Yes I do remember hearing about this previously. I believe the suggestion here is for an actual bricks and mortar pop up store albeit on a temporary basis rather than an online exclusive store.
What an amazing pair of shoes kirby thankyou for the episode
Muito obrigado pela experiência que nos passou nesse vídeo.
Great shining job. Beautiful shoes, nice skin!
The pig skin looks great, I've always liked the look of leather with some sort of grain effect. Nice tie also.
I'm sure this won't be popular, but... I polish my shoes infrequently, and badly. Wearing them to cycle to and from work, I occasionally get them wet, so I decided to polish them and then spray them with Fabsil aerosol silicone waterproofer. Amazing results! I wasn't expecting it, but not only did this make my shoes shinier, the shine is lasting very well, and best of all, water runs off them. That's my shoeshine procedure from now on!
Hmm mirror gloss before normal wax. Noted. I'll try that next time. The shoes look great!
The tie you're wearing looks awesome with that suit.
Pig skin is my ultimate MTO/bespoke leather dream
Learned to do that many years ago in the army
Amazing!
Beautiful shoes!
Oddly satisfying watch, thanks Kirby
Thanks!
Nice - been a hot minute since a simple shoe-shine video. Kinda missed them.
Your shoe shine lessons help me restore a pair of Allen Edmonds Plymouth single monks in walnut. The light brown cream polish was the perfect shade for not darkening. Got new elastic and they’re ready for new half soles.
Kirby Allison brushes are fantastic quality, well worth the extra couple buck, not to mention all the entertainment we enjoy from this channel. I gave away my old brushes, they are junk compared to Mr. Allison’s.
Cheers from Austin! Congrats on the well deserved 300k! Any big plans for a celebration?
great video! the shine you achieve on all your shoes is truly amazing. I am just wondering if you or anyone here have any tips for restoring a shine on toes and heels that have been scuffed. I find that my mirror shines last only 2-3 wears and once the toe and heels have been scuffed I can't seem to even out the scuffs and achieve a shine again no matter now many layers or pat de luxe and mirror gloss I apply. Would appreciate any help
A fan of pigskin leather for sure. A side note from a fellow UA-cam channel, The audio (at least when listening on mobile) is letting in a lot of background noise during the timeline parts where you’re not speaking. It may be the audio channel or the audio plug in gate/expander threshold thats letting in that static.
By no means an i a pro in this space but just sharing the feedback!
ive worn all kinds of shoes over the last couple years trying to find my feet in menswear, but in the end i keep coming back to the plain black oxford. i think the next shoe i buy will be another plain black oxford.
Every single time you can be guaranteed Kirby will say he doesn't always remove the laces, but removes the laces anyways
this ch is truly for gents
you deserve peace Kirkby
Ordered my first few tubs of Saphir. Been using Kiwi for years, can't wait to see the difference
Hopefully you got them from KirbyAllison.com!
@@kirbyallison What's the difference between Pommadir and Creme Surfine? All I can see is they're both cream polish
@@St_Mindless Just the concentration and quality of ingredients
@@kirbyallison Thanks ever so!
New to your chanel also. And I love it 👌
KA: What lacing method do you prefer for an Oxford?
I just stumbled upon this channel and I was curious about how an expert would go about a proper shine. I learned to shine shoes at the school I attended, Carson Long Military Institute in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania. Sadly they closed their doors a few years ago. Anyway, I was surprised to see that the same techniques I learned back in the mid 1980s are the ones being taught here. My Military School really stressed the importance of being an officer and a gentleman. Part of that was dressing smartly and taking care of your clothes, military and civilian. It is impossible to find decent shoes anymore unless you go the rare, bespoke route. Everything else seems to be expensive, brand name, chinese junk.
How often would you recommend using the renovateur? Once per month? Just a couple of times per year?
Absolutely love them! I have a question about Saphir Mirror gloss wax polish. What color would I use on an AE 5th Ave walnut ? I did not see the mirror gloss in the video about color guide for the cream polish.
Neutral
Yo inspired me😍😍😍
Is there any alcohol in the water? They look great. Thanks.
Kirby - I am in need of advice and who better to turn to than you. For various reasons I am often forced to use galoshes to and from work to protect my shoes. This tends to matt the shine, which is unfortunate. Do you have any advice for touching up a shine at the office or on the go? Are express sponges a viable option?
I'd insist the renovateur has that extra cleaning features other conditioners just don't offer. F.e. Lexol and Bick4 won't take any color off, VSC would, and Renovateur does it noticeably more than VSC.
you need to try some snake wholecuts
pig skin i dont like. it looks like a sponge and it just feels a bit less than
T-shirt & spit work just fine. Should see my shoes from the military school I went to I'm high school. Incredible... Not even high quality shoes I don't think they're just layers and layers of glass ha
Here is why I am confused. For as long as can remember, the "experts" always said that real high quality dress shoes should only be made from leather (including the heel). So my question is: Which material or skin makes the best quality, lasting and comfortable dress shoes?
Isn't it creasing a bit too much considering you only worn it a few times?
I'm a broke slob, but for some reason I like this channel. lol.
You can be broke and also be a gentleman, it's not about money. I reckon you're probably a pretty well rounded person who already has everything you need to be a gentleman.
Kirby, can you explain your "cannon" logo?
he's an arsenal fc fan 😂
Kirby should open a shoeshine stand at Grand Central. does he have a real job?
Explain how turning the hanger project into a massive online retailer, as well as being a very well produced content creator is not a real job
👍🏼💯💯💥
Kirby! There is a new movie called The Outfit that might be interesting! 7+ on IMDB :)
Leonard is an English tailor who used to craft suits on London’s world-famous Savile Row. After a personal tragedy, he’s ended up in Chicago, operating a small tailor shop in a rough part of town where he makes beautiful clothes for the only people around who can afford them: a family of vicious gangsters.
Just thought id share, take care! ^^
Brand new shoes looks like they were already worn based on the soles.
What happened to the cowboy boots Kirby?
Kirby loves to sniff a wax polish like I do 😍 amazing new shoes by the way👍🔥🔥❤️
I think every shoe shine guy needs to wear a bespoke suit with white shirt, french cuffs and cuff links while polishing shoes. They might be able to charge a could more dollars.
First time viewer
Great shoes but are these really brand new 🤔
Those are nice shoes, and Kirby is a lovely guy. I'm just mystified by his taste though. He dresses with the flair of a funeral director.
Can anyone tell me how to wear my new shoes in, my feet are killing me 😮💨
cowboy boots?
Why doesn't your valet polish your shoes?
He gave his valet the day off, besides if one wants something done correctly, one does it oneself.
I own 2 pairs (1 brown and 1 black, both derbies) of pig skin MTO shoes. Look beautiful but, to be honest, not the greatest wear. I feel they are a bit flimsy for dress shoes, let the cold in, not suitable for wet weather either. Not a first choice, get them with caution.
It’s a great video but it would be even better if you would say your name a lot less. I mean this the utmost respect Kirby.
Christ you buy the most boring stuff given the selection you have to choose from
The shoes are lovely, but live a little!
😂😂😂 I don’t agree at all with this comment, but it did make me chuckle
Save yourself a fortune by watching how british army guardsman do it with simple beeswax,kiwi and elbow grease
Hi Kirby, i'm French and i'd like to adress the pronounciation of "renovateur". "teur" is the French for "tor" like in "actor" or "director". i don't know why you say "renovatour" but it's "renovator" for you English speakers. Thanks 😉
He's just pronouncing it the way it's spelled. For example, the English word 'amateur' is pronounced with the same sound at the end. You wouldn't suggest that English speakers switch to saying 'amator', would you? This applies to many many words in English - restauranteur, entrepreneur, chauffeur, connoisseur, etc. etc. ad nauseam.
Also, since it's a name, it should borrow some of the pronunciation from its language of origin. Consider Louis Pasteur, which again has the same 'eur' at the end. You wouldn't suggest that English speakers should say 'Louis Pastor', would you?
It’s just regional dialect of French words in English.
@@talavb9301 nope it's not the way it's spelled sorry. you're wrong. and yes it's the same for amateur or Pasteur. you just took a bad habit for it. we say "amator" with an accentuation on the "r" at the end like in "Sir" or "maker". no matter what you think or say. it's a French word. you say "root" for "route" which is correct. i don't say Kirby "Keerby" in French because it's an English name. we also say Kirby like you. therefore you're wrong and i'm correct. nothing wrong with being in the wrong. i'm there to correct it. and on top of that, Saphyr is a French brand so... pronounce it the French way. when we use English words in French we respect the original pronounciation. just do the same.
the way he says it is good for "Tour de France" and it's not the same word at all. and by the way the word renovator actually exists for you in English. which is funny. why are you tempted to say it otherwise? it's beyond me. if the brand did actually translate it on the cream pot it would say "renovator". don't you feel kinda stupid now?
Well, despite all your sarcasm, I actually did manage to learn one little thing from you, which is pretty amazing. I consider this a piece of good luck.
That notwithstanding, you're perfectly within your rights to take issue with anyone's pronunciation. I know that French people, out of all the peoples of Europe, are famously chauvinist with their language, so I understand.
All I'm saying is, the name on the package is spelled with an 'eur'. So, being an English speaker, it's natural to pronounce 'eur' the same way as 'eur' is always pronounced in English. If it was instead spelled 'Renovator' on the package, then it would be natural to pronounce it differently. A different spelling means a different pronunciation, why would I feel stupid?
@@talavb9301 OMG leave it there you're hopeless. when you have no argument you start to attack the French people. just quit. talking about sarcasm when there's none. nice try but not with me. i defend the right pronounciation. "teur" doesn't sound like "tour". end of story. no matter what you have to say.
but i figured out that it's purely and marely a US thing to say those words like you say. i talked about that with an English from London and he said i'm actually right. in London they say "amator" and not "amatour". "connoisseur" they say "conwasir" like us in French. so funny...
Was it IN London? Not every shoe should get a high shine. Why have the textured pig skin if you’re just going to shine that characteristic away? You make the toe look like a calf skin thus making the pig skin irrelevant. Leave it alone and let the texture be the star. Otherwise every shoe looks the same and your 5k specials are no different than a Primark loafers. And Primark is IN London. Also add some music like death metal it’ll get the shine on.
My wife doesn't own as many shoes as this clown does
So true
