    Jonathan has such incredible presence. This fitting doesn't look like a meeting between an employee and a client, but between two gentlemen.

      Jonathan should have renamed Alan Flusser to Flusser & Sigmon first. After Alan's retirement, I think Jonathan's name should be prominent on the door bell as well.

      @Campari Soda Of course the clothes are excellent buy Kirby Allison is making a lot of money selling his "brand" which is him and to me if you proclaim yourself to by a sartorial expert you better "walk the walk" and nail such small details! Just my opinion and like the old saying goes, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one".

  • @Teethingpains
    @Teethingpains 4 года назад +27

    The chalk stripe looks classy, especially on the navy blue wool. Love the waistcoat, it transforms the experience of the suit to another level, imo. I must complement the choice of the high waisted trousers as well, the proportions seem just right. Great choice of fabric and maker, Kirby. Enjoy it in good health!

    Jonathan is great.
    The fabric, general trouser waist height, degree of tightness, collar height and jacket silhouette are all very nice. I agree with Jonathan about adding a little room in the waist to allow for better drape. I would definitely not match with that tie though.
    I look almost like Kirby's twin so it's very helpful in making my own sartorial decisions ;)

  • @slicksnewonenow
    @slicksnewonenow 2 года назад +8

    This reminds me of a striped suit that I owned about 30 years ago.
    Even then, it was "vintage" as it was made in Germany in 1948.
    I've never seen another like it- EVERY STRIPE on the suit perfectly lined up wherever the material met at a seam... Talk about German Precision!
    As far as a higher waist in trousers, they should lie exactly on ones NATURAL waist... The same goes for the main closure button on one's jacket.
    Anything else looks goofy, like a fella is trying to get by with wearing a kid's suit.
    I'll never get how hip huggers became to be considered "comfortable".

    17:28 Mr. Allison: I watched several of your vids and subscribed. I would enjoy your input on the topic of "fabric roll". Notice the shirt and the large horizontal 'roll'. In all my experience that type of 'roll' is something to avoid via correct fitting. Subtle vertical rolling is typical and normal. My general perception is you need to consider relaxing your fit in some areas. The problem can also arise (or be solved) with an undershirt. To a certain extent, undergarments can dictate the final 'look'.

    Your videos, Kirby, have reached a new level of professionalism. They are now beautifully scripted, informative and relaxing to watch: a real step up on the early ones. I suspect you also have a new cameraman as his shots are spot on. And thank goodness you’ve ditched the Muzak in favour of appropriate pieces. The pinstriped suit is fab, and will look great at the Carlton. Only problem is that everyone will think you’re a banker or a lawyer!

    Hi Kirby, very nice collar on the shirt....good to see it sit higher at the front of your neck.
    Jacket looks good too.Subtle chalk stripe and nice initial fit to the jacket.
    Very pleased that this tailoring house devotes so much time to the MTM fittings.
    To my taste the trousers could be cut a little slimmer with a 16 inch width at the hem and 18 inches at the knee.
