Thanks for an excellent video. Would you consider a video on tie care? Once a tie is stained, are there options other than sending the tie to a dry cleaner? I had a favorite, quality tie ruined recently.
Hello Kirby. Do you have your suits dry cleaned even when they are not stained, say, for freshness and hygiene, and if so, how often? Also, how long do you wait to wear a suit again without drycleaning when rotating them? I am in the very early stages of building my quality gentleman's wardrobe (with a lot of your advice, thank you!) and I only have two suits. I invested in quality neckwear, pocketsquares and shoes to hide the fact that I do not own more suits at the moment. Yet, I try to wear a suit as much as I can since I enjoy the lifestyle but I feel like it is unclean to wear the same suit every two or three days. Even though I am well groomed and take daily showers, sweat and odour are sometimes unavoidable and might build up on the trousers or the arm holes of the jacket. Then again, every gentleman will say that drycleaning a suit will sooner or later destroy it. What do you recommend doing?
Purchased pressing cloth and should be getting it today. I also have a small ironing board same as the ones Tailors use to press out garments. Best iron board ive ever used. Small enough to take with me if Im traveling.
First of all I just want to say congrats for your excellent job and channel, your tips are very helpful for me. I was wondering if you could tell me some brands of good quality leather oxford shoes about 200-250 dlls. I want to invest money in a good pair of leather shoes due to I will start working, but I only have that amount of money to invest. Thank you!
Hello Kirby. I've only just discovered your channel and am really enjoying it. Apart from being impeccably dressed you impart your knowledge with no pretentiousness. I am picking up so much knowledge in my quest to become a better dresser. It is a real passion which some may consider an obsession, but it makes me feel so much better about myself. Thank you!
Another fantastic video, Kirby! Hey, quick question: what’s the main difference between a garment brush and a shoe shine brush? Do I need a specific type of brush for my suits and jackets or could I just use a regular horsehair brush for shoes (as long as it’s never been used for polishing, of course)?
I really appreciate how you approach topics from a very basic level and build up to more advanced levels. I find at the end of your videos that I have a thorough understanding of the topic discussed. Thanks.
I have a garment brush that uses more of the stiff brass bristles, my question is do you think that’s acceptable or should I ditch it and go with a natural bristle ASAP?
I believe that during the outfit review at the end you meant to say your 3rd pair of the Barron Deriti ( hope that’s how you spell it ) loafers in black and not the burgundy wholecuts
As someone who has 2 cats and a dog, I use those red double sided lint brushes. Doesn't leave an adhesive and really gets into the fibers to remove fur.
Hello Mr Allison, As you can see on my avatar, I'm a cat owner (a Blue Russian):). I'ts very easy to remove a cat's hair from any garment with a very slightly wetted hand. It can be done even from the cat himself:).

If you're into classical menswear, which if you are watching this video you probably are then the only pet you can really have is a gold fish.
You may have placed the wrong pictures of your shoes for this video :)

Hi, Kirby! Lovely video as always! Do you have any tips for avoiding sheen on jacket albows which can accumulate after long days at the office?

Linen clouth are much better than cotton ones . Cotton gets sticky linen not .I use linen of course.
Love the shirt; such obvious quality!

Stephen Full That’s a great tip! I’ll try it.
