  • After the success of our video highlighting our visit with Alan Flusser in his New York atelier, and the successful delivery of the beautiful chalk striped suit, a number of our viewers were keen to learn more about Alan's consultation process. While we aere only able to include a small portion of what was filmed in the original piece, now we are happy to bring to you the full uncut conversation between Kirby and Alan.
    Kirby Allison visits with famous menswear author Alan Flusser to commission a Made-to-Measure garment by the master himself. Author of the mens wear classic, "Dressing The Man," Alan Flusser has educated countless men on the rules of classic menswear. We discuss the made-to-measure program as well as go through a personal consultation. At the end, you get to see Alan Flusser's personal recommendations to Kirby for a new outfit!
    Alan Flusser Made-to-Measure garments are a reflection of the house style they’ve developed and refined throughout 30+ years of custom tailoring. They emphasize a soft-styled design - the jacket is shaped, with natural shoulders, high armholes, and light full-canvas construction. They like a little fullness in the chest and shoulder blades with a trim waist, which offers a masculine silhouette and a louche, easy elegance that is supremely comfortable to wear.
    MTM garments are based on their block pattern, individually tailored to the client’s specific measurements and body posture. They hand-sew the garments where it counts the most, and they hand-finish the lapels and pockets, and all alterations and buttonholes are finished in their New York City workshop.

    What separates Alan Flusser from highly skilled tailors is his eye for style (not just tradition) both in context and historically, something he shares with Ralph Lauren. Glad to learn from a master. Thanks Kirby!

    Alan Flusser really got me started in menswear with Dressing the Man. It's fantastic to see him applying that knowledge here, and I agree with everything he says here. I get bespoke shirts because I also have a long neck, and so few made-to-measure shirtmakers can offer me a collar that looks right on me. There aren't any ready-to-wear shirts I'd be happy with.

    Kirby is great, but far too often is formulating his next question while the other person is speaking, which causes him to interrupt when he probably should still be listening. Aside from that, it is a very good interview and very interesting. thanks, kirby.

      Jarod ORla Just google "tattersall". It's very typical british pattern and I especially love the dense type with squares being just 0,5x0,5 cm large. With a brown suit it just the best option (for me).

    Hi Kirby I know this is unrelated to this video, but which one is the more comfortable Black cap toe Oxford? Carmina's or Edward Greens, or is there another brand that you recommend if I'm prioritising comfort? Thanks in advance

  • @Konsaliki

    I really enjoy this conversation and Mr Flusser conveys a certain reserved charme. However: His pocket square looks a bit as if he simply folded the menu of a local chinese restaurant two times and put it in. Just kidding ;)
    @Kirby After your first Flusser suit seems to have satisfied you quite a bit: are you planning on commissioning more suits from him in the future? Maybe your first windowpane suit, pushing your comfort zone even more?

    I find it ironic that Kirby mentions the mistake young people make of having things “made tight “,yet in his other vids he constantly says to the tailors he “prefers the fit to be tight”. 🤔 hmmm.

    It use to be that you could get a made to measure suit for around 70 pounds in the late 70s. That's around $500 now. These modern prices are crazy

    I take off my suit jacket, when entering a meeting or such, because I get hot.
    Simple as that. Nothing to do with comfort.
    Days of AC and heating every meeting room is set to 25°C and sweltering

      When I think comfort, I think ease of movement and if it's not tight.
