Kirby I just want to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos. as a traumatized afghan vet, your videos relax me before bed and help me sleep. Plus I’m constantly using the info to upgrade how I dress, such as only wearing dress shoes and a button up shirt anytime I leave the house. Thank you! -Patrick
@@BullyBoxer that‘s me + i have a pretty standard body and feet, so i don‘t need bespoke clothing that much. I fit in most 48 regular fit suits very well after hemming the sleeves and with shoes I have a quite normal instep and normal width. Of course bespoke would probably be 5% better in very fine details but to me that‘s not worth spending that much more + i‘d be really paranoid about such expensive clothing to be ruined
I watch these videos and I think how special it must be to be a tailor and work in those shops. It would be an honor to visit one those places one day.
47 years and ongoing. I wonder how many shirts Stephen's done in that time, must be thousands by now. It looks like Terry has taken over John's old cutting board and Sayumba has moved over to Terry's. I've got some made to measure shirts but I'd love to do some proper bespoke at some stage. Another great series on the go here.
Funny, just watched the older video about the difference between a $100 rtw CH and a $1000 bespoke Charvet shirt. Today it made me wearing my only bespoke shirt I have (by Luigi Borrelli) again after a year or so. I completely forgot how comfortable that feels. Indeed, apart from the fabrics, also the armpits making a clear difference, compared to ready to wear. 😮👍
No lie. I showed up for knowledge on suits cause I have little to no knowledge on them and I have watched multiple videos now. Like respectfully gyatt.
Hey Kirby, could you consider exploring the wonderful world of classic and modern classic automobiles. A wonderful space where craftsmanship and engineering are ar its finest❤
I admire the way you dress Kirby... Unfortunately, people really dont put any effort or thought in what they wear anymore and how they look. In the 30's, peo pl le wouldn't dare leave their home looking the way they do. Appreciate you sir!
I think it's a cultural thing also. I travel often to Taiwan with my family and I notice that people there definitely separate inside clothes from outside clothes. They at least put some effort into looking nicer even if they don't dress in the classic style. I think it's impossible to expect the majority of people to do that anymore, but at least to realize that at-home clothes, and exercise clothes have their place and purpose and should be worn outside for normal use.
I have a short neck, and all my dress shirts' collars touch the bottom of my hairline. I've always wondered what a bespoke shirtmaker would do about that. I guess that's the one thing that I would want to have made bespoke is a dress shirt that doesn't make my neck look short. 😆
You know Kirby, if you want to get another bespoke shirt. I'd go for a button-down collar, fitted linen shirt. Potentially in stripey pattern, or plain pattern. Would work really well for the summer in a navy suit or on its own. I say this because I am finding it virtually impossible to get a shirt that meets this criteria. A lot of them are soft collared or oversized which I really don't like.
I still think it would be quite interesting if Kirby had Brian Shaw on an episode of suit fitting cause Brian is an actual giant. Just to see the difference in sizes.
I wonder if paisley is perceived as too gaudy by some? I'm pretty sure that I had a few of them when I was still wearing ties, but today I would tend toward stripes and small patterns.
kirby you mentioned in a very early video that your chopard perpetual was aqquired preowned for less than ten k. could i please have the name of the website you aqquired it from and how did you authenticate it. thank you and love from montreal.
I would be stunned if they would not do that. It is part of the tailor's craft to be able to make clothes that will fit and flatter the body type of any unique client. It is one of the things that distinguishes bespoke tailoring from ready to wear and even made-to-measure clothing.
How does one become a tailor these days? Is it still through an apprenticeship or are there vocational schools? If I could go back and change careers, I'd choose this path.
Apprenticeship. There is a savile row school which costs 20k for non uk citizens, then theres sewing courses around the UK. Tailoring is either going to be a self taught thing, or something you learn of your parents. luckily you hace the internet at your hands. I have considered tailoring and still do, a little put off by jackets and coats, theyre so hard to make.
Before finding this channnel i had lost interest in mens fashion...gotta say that's gone a full 180 and now I wish I could afford to do even a fraction of this
For some reason it makes me happy seeing more and more younger people in that workshop every time you come back to it. The craft goes on.
Arts and crafts are immortal, its the whole reason we all alive.

Thanks for your service, Patrick
Thank you for your service and sacrifice my friend.
Thank you for your service, Patrick
You just know that these shirts are going to be top notch quality.
They’re a good way of keeping the weight off you as well as your wallet too!
Gotta be honest, I’m quite envious of Kirby having all these clothes made.😂
Aren't we all? But at least we get to see the amazing work that goes into these clothes.
i‘m not envious about the amount of money he paid for all his clothes though

As a fashion and sewing teacher it's a pleasure ti watch this great master video
Excited to see part 2 & thanks for taking us with you on your journey!
That was pretty cool seeing the stack of collars.
"& Lachter" - the series is complete!!!
I watch these videos and I think how special it must be to be a tailor and work in those shops. It would be an honor to visit one those places one day.
Great video. Nice to see George Atanasias (ex Turnbull & Asser) in the background during some of the shots. He made a superb pattern for me at T&A.
You are in the safe hands of master craftsmen; worth every penny.
Suyamba enjoyers we meet again! Get her an ASMR channel already.
Suyamba's a babe.
The knowledge in this video is incredible.
Amsr, his voice is so special. Imagine 40 years just making shirts. But its more than that its handlinf clients wnd getting lifetime loyalty

I love the older guy's Alan Rickman/Snape voice so much
This is a masterclass…in British humor.

About halfway through all I noticed was the massive bakery behind suyamba… she’s fantastic in every way

It's an exact science. Enjoyed watching.

I'm excited for the finished product. He's great. You've acquired great friends Kirby.
What would be interesting is an overcoat commission
What a beaty that tailor lady is .... beautiful.....
Always enjoy these visits 😊
Love these videos!
I was just beginning to wonder, has Kirby ever gotten a shirt made from Kent Haste and Lachter? Surprised when I saw this in my notifications!
Are you being sarcastic lololol

You can alter collar height with MTM as well.
@@TheDubtFire Alas, I have never done made-to-measure, either, so I might just do that.
I have seeeerious hair envy every time I see Suyamba. Everything about her is beautiful.
Her hair is sooo coooooool
It's good news all time favourite is that customer support

Fantastic! Please do a pattern drafting video for this as well!
I cannot wait to see the shirt!

Awesome career "style is my job"😊
Alumo Zephir Soyella is lovely, probably the best shirting out there in my opinion! I prefer it in heavier weights though, around 90 gms.
Suyamba, Suyamba, Suyamba ❤
Really it is not a shop but rather an artists cave 🎩
My eyes were constantly drawn to Suyamba working in the background
I still think it would be quite interesting if Kirby had Brian Shaw on an episode of suit fitting cause Brian is an actual giant. Just to see the difference in sizes.
"You got slim wrists"
NO KIDDING! kurby hasn't turned a screwdriver or swung a hammer in his life!
Wearing Oxfords and not using the Oxford comma - bold choice!
Kirby is living his best life. Good for him
Going for the watch… distract him will you!
Yesssss I love this shop
Patiently awaiting Cuba content
Great project!
measurements are super asmr
Another great video mate, can’t wait for more 👍🏻👌🏻❤️🇬🇧
Are paisley ties not something to be admired? I like them, especially in all wool for the field.
I wonder if paisley is perceived as too gaudy by some? I'm pretty sure that I had a few of them when I was still wearing ties, but today I would tend toward stripes and small patterns.
Inside joke…
@Tie clip Well, you know what Hemmingway said about the English!
@@kirbyallisonI love inside jokes. Can't wait to be part of one someday.
Kirby=Sheldon cooper
they are the same
And how is John Kent doing? Hope he has a wonderful time
Need a retirement interview or launch with John Kent!

Masterpiece
How did she get her hair to look so messy? i mean i want to know how it stands up so unnaturally. Super curious its a cool look.. quirky
26:00
He picked the exact fabric of the shirt he was wearing.
Do You This …I like them all😊
Man she is so perfect in every way
Dear Kirby, how much does a Bespoke shirt approximately cost
Mate you should do a Collab with TheReportOfTheWeek.
Kirby, you should have trusted your tailor and gone with the cocktail cuffs… a little James Bond British super spy style couldn’t be bad.
❤
The guys must be so happy they discovered Suyamba shes exceptional
‘They are good those fakes aren’t they’…😂
Would they do an overweight person? Interested in a custom suit and shirt for my dad
I would be stunned if they would not do that. It is part of the tailor's craft to be able to make clothes that will fit and flatter the body type of any unique client. It is one of the things that distinguishes bespoke tailoring from ready to wear and even made-to-measure clothing.
amazing
Sir please make a episode about luxury hot towel shave
love it
Surprised you didn't choose a Winchester for the very Brit experience.
If this guy ever runs for President in the US, everyone in my generation who remembers Ron & Nancy will vote for him to a man.

Too bad he's married, he really is a handsome man ☺️
Did you not have a shirt made by budd ???
Palm beach you say 👀
Why’s he staring at his tie last bit of measurements ?
You also get a posture exam with this so that is good
Why is that one woman in background wearing a dress that from a distance looks like it belongs in the later 1800's?
Jeez...though...be good to crank out some pushups😅
What would be the best most attainable way for someone to do this in america? Local toggery store? god forbid mens wearhouse
LOL it looks like somebody just had a tussle in the changing room. 00:03
Why does he measure some parts and not record them?
The other guy is writing them down
Wannabe Brit?
I think so.
Unfortunately you can't buy our humour and the confusion about it shows.

He said the monogram on the cuff is a bit showy smh as opposed to the front belly/chest of the shirt. Not a fan of either.
I'm also looking for a navy suit for war........
Kirby is an influencer
enough with the monograms ! equally should have gone with cocktail cuffs - they fill the jacket sleeve better
I wonder if he had to get rotor cuff surgery cause of his rounded shoulders
Warren Buffett as tailor 🤣
Bespoke - A snooty way of saying custom made! Hahaha!!
Taylor made shirt👍
