It's absolutely absurd how Kirby is able to churn out high-quality, on-site documentaries that are practically ready-for-TV, at such an incredible pace. Entire team behind Kirby have to be crazy workaholics and perfectionists.

That series is so similiar to the german series "Handwerkskunst" (literally craftsmanship arts) of the german public-service broadcaster SWR. So indeed that is broadband TV content.
What impresses me about the woman sewing the custom shirt is that there's no pressing done until the garment is completely made. The people working at this workshop are highly skilled, and I'm envious re the quality fabrics they use.
Such a skill and Helen made it look so easy, she made the hemming look absolutely effortless… My mother was a seamstress, working from home, so the sound of a sewing machine brings back delightful memories…
Darren, it was our pleasure to see all the lovely ladies working on the shirt. Theyre all so knowledgeable, skilled and so about making you look perfect. Kirby, perfect video. it sums everything the channel stands for; Quality, Craftsmapship and Tradition.
Virtuosity is making something difficult look easy. Helen is a treasure. Thanks for these amazing videos, Kirby. I really appreciate how thorough and gracious you are---and how the craftspeople offer their gifts.
Well done BUDD for still making their shirts here in England. Well over 20 years ago i bought my first expensive shirt at Hilditch & Key in Jermyn Street they had their own factory at the time they also used pre shrunk shirting material beautiful shirts they closed the factory down and all their shirts i believe are now made abroad. I always try to buy British where i can.
Super cool seeing her line up those stripes just right. I look at stuff in stores and see them so off and even a little off drives me nuts. Now watching this is was so visually perfect. She made it seem easy but I know full well it took a bit of time to make it look that easy.
Amazing workmanship. They make it look much easier than it really is through their years of experience. Thank you Kirby for sharing this wonderful tour of the Budd factory. Really fascinating.
One could easily get the impression that sewing a shirt is quite an easy thing if you know all the steps. But as I quickly found out when I bought my sewing machine... There are so many small things that affect the whole outcome and mistakes adds up quickly. One day I'm going to make a decent looking shirt though!
Got my 1st shirt delivering Thursday an will b doing business with budds shirt makers. Loved the video.Looking forward to attending the san francisco trunk show.
I just watched your video and I absolutely loved it! I found your presentation to be incredibly informative and engaging. You did a great job of breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand terms. I also appreciated the humor and personal anecdotes that you sprinkled throughout the video. It made the content more relatable and enjoyable. You're one of the few RUclipsrs who I can consistently count on to deliver high-quality content. Keep up the great work! "I outsourced this feedback to AI"
kirby's favourite phrase: quality, craftsmanship & tradition anyway, Kirby, great video. really enjoyed watching the process of making a shirt. btw, you forgot a pocket square, and i guess you are due for a haircut. or at least, a little maintenance on the sides.
If the camera wasn't there, would she have used the cuff guide? I feel like she has such an understanding of length she did that for show. All the other measures she was doing by eye. Impressive! Also at the 40 min mark the guy in the back just trying to enjoy his tea break xD
I loved the associate that was ironing. All tattoos and she gets to work with a high profile company. No prejudice, the only thing that matters is her skills
Wonderful to see how skilled a top "machinist" (English) really is. I use a sewing machine to make easy level alterations to shirts and trousers... I'm slow and nowhere near as good as the lady who did the whole shirt, and literally zipped her way through it. I'm very jealous.
Double bespoke commission at Kent, Haste, pop into Henry Poole for a shooting suit, grab a couple of Purdey heritage shotguns to go shooting in Scotland, hop down to the Carmina factory in Mallorca in the amazing vintage suit find to get some new Spectators and now head on down to the Budd factory to watch your new custom shirt being made. Your leading a charmed life Kirby and producing the best content of it's kind on RUclips. Did Darren drop some weight since the last time we saw him, that shirt looks a tad baggy.
This video is fascinating to watch. Thank you for all this beautifully produced content, @Kirby Allison. I’m curious to see that Budd’s ironing process involves creasing the sleeve. There is some debate about whether to crease or not-seems like we have Budd’s stance.
Hi Kirby you are awesome great guy the way you covered in detail showing budd himself and the artisan lady who did her best on the shirt make it beautiful now I am in love with this kind of bespoke shirts how do I get for myself in Singapore appreciate
Thank-you Kirby. Impressive. Umm, Kirby, between you and me… I got “a bit of a beer gut.” Might Bud 🍺 make me a shirt to contour to my expanding tummy? Appreciated.
Sewing is a complete mystery to me. I can understand how you can assemble wooden or metal objects with precision, but how is that possible with fabric? Even though that's exactly what is happening in front of my eyes, I can't comprehend it.
@@kirbyallison Hi Kirby and Anleme. As a West Midlander myself I can tell you that she sounds like she is originally from my homeland: the Black Country (the swathe of industrial villages and towns to the West and North of Birmingham), although obviously softened through living in Hampshire. So lovely to hear our local accent on one of your videos!
If a middleman said he wanted top quality... China, as an example, with direction and materials, are more than capable of supplying it. The "west" spent 200 years trying to equal their "china" a while back.
You don’t have to take them all at once. Just ensures people don’t pop on for a bespoke shirt without committing to the process of getting it right. It might be one or two shirts before one is happy.
@@kirbyallison really? I had a terrible experience with another bespoke maker(highly rated on PS), that did send both shirts from first order at once, despite me expressing a concerns that better would be to send them one by one.. that honestly left me with impression that if you're poor enough to consider bespoke expensive and are unwilling (unable to afford) to write off at least an order or two, bespoke is not for you...
WAIT, so the pattern was drafted and cut by hand. The shirt is hand cut but literally MACHINE made! not hand made? sorry I love your series with your suit but for Budd shirts, I really don't buy it as they operate just like any other factory. I believe back in 1910s or even pre-WW, there had been much more handwork involved.
The best shirts are machine made (with a few exceptions). It’s hard to beat the precision stitching of a modern sewing machine. A few makers such as Wil Whiting and some Italians have a handmade product, but it’s at over double the cost.
@@kirbyallison thanks for the reply, I totally agree on the precision of machining. However, there are still sartorias making shirts with hand-attached collar, cuffs, sleeves, yoke, and gussets at the highest quality but not at double the price. Many Italian sartorias can and will.
So I often wonder about his self worth and what could’ve happened to him as a child. I always tell patients, keep a close eye on your kids and what they wear. If they only wear expensive clothes, shoes, or jewelry it’s a good indicator they are struggling with self worth. People with low self worth only feel valued when they have items on they see as valuable. -- i wear suits at work or scrubs or lab coat/trousers but I strip it off immediately. I would never go to the park wearing bespoke clothing for example.-- mentoring I also see kids in low income neighborhoods that are addicted to shoes. It’s basically the same reason. They have low self esteem/worth so when they have the expensive shoes on they feel like somebody, they feel good. -- I mention this because a lot of people don’t pay attention to the indicators. -- it’s very important with your children. Watch if they try and lead you into a clothing store with a high price tag. You may wanna dig a little deeper on the why. 99% of the time you will find they’ve been bullied or put down. Which then destroys self worth.
Or perhaps some people were simply raised to look after their appearance and they carried that mindset into their adulthood? Not sure whether the topic warrants the exhaustive psychoanalysis 😂
Very interesting, as always. One thing though, please don’t call highly experienced seamstresses “girls”, they aren’t girls, they are very talented women.
It's absolutely absurd how Kirby is able to churn out high-quality, on-site documentaries that are practically ready-for-TV, at such an incredible pace. Entire team behind Kirby have to be crazy workaholics and perfectionists.

Can't get enough of these Artisan craftsmen and Women, well done Budd! Keep it up Kirby

Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing talented lady, who would have thought, the skill and time needed to make a single shirt is extraordinary.
I love how well she explains everything, she should become a teacher if she isn't already.
Virtuosity is making something difficult look easy. Helen is a treasure. Thanks for these amazing videos, Kirby. I really appreciate how thorough and gracious you are---and how the craftspeople offer their gifts.
Well done BUDD for still making their shirts here in England.

Yes I did the same for years then they were taken over and stopped having the mill in Scotland so sad 😢
Super cool seeing her line up those stripes just right. I look at stuff in stores and see them so off and even a little off drives me nuts. Now watching this is was so visually perfect. She made it seem easy but I know full well it took a bit of time to make it look that easy.
Really nice insights! Thank you Kirby and Budd London!
not sure if you have done this yet but id love to see a video of how you changed into this career Kirby, I think it would be a fascinating watch.
Amazing workmanship. They make it look much easier than it really is through their years of experience. Thank you Kirby for sharing this wonderful tour of the Budd factory. Really fascinating.
Amazing and enjoyable
Great to see these brilliant skilled people at work 🎉
Really enjoyed watching the whole process Kirby. Craftsmanship at its absolute British best.
AWESOME to see the process of making a custom shirt. skilled tailoring.
Great to see somethings are still Made in London
Ya Kirby deserves a spot in television network like discovery, Netflix, etc....for his doc series on gentlemens menswear
Thank you so much for showing this. It's incredible to see so much craftsmanship's and work that goes into a shirt
Bravo! I just need a little bit more time to pitch you in at Netflix or any other OTT platform, just hold on my friends
More like this please sir. Well done Kirby.
This is pretty incredible.
Great inside view. Loved it!
For sure adding Budd shirts to my wardrobe.
Great videos of craftsmanship. Love the dude having his lunch break in the background! 🤣 sod the cameras, im hungry 😋
When i watch this professionalism in field .then i know i haven't experience in tailoring art....so pleasure

I am from Andover and this freaked me out to think that Kirby has been here that’s so cool
Thank you Mr. Kirby ! Perfect !
Thankyou kirby an amazing episode 👏
the filming and editing seems really good. this level of quality product needs good filming to do it justice.
Got my 1st shirt delivering Thursday an will b doing business with budds shirt makers. Loved the video.Looking forward to attending the san francisco trunk show.
The side seams are double-stitched. Very eye-opening that British bespoke does not use single-needle nowadays.
This is so much better than a vice doc. 🤙🏽

Beautiful
Another winner!😊

It might be nice to have a whole shirt care video (washing, ironing, etc.).
Hi Kirby you are awesome great guy the way you covered in detail showing budd himself and the artisan lady who did her best on the shirt make it beautiful now I am in love with this kind of bespoke shirts how do I get for myself in Singapore appreciate

Very skilled lady I can’t even fix button😂
Great video as always, love to see him to go a good course royal st George's or at andrews? Lots of history there
very good, I hope such YT can help to inspire (young) man/woman to do such a (great) job, to keep it for the future ...
Quality content, surprised you didn't have it on during your outro
When are getting the next episode of the commission from Kent Haste Kirby?
Sewing is a complete mystery to me. I can understand how you can assemble wooden or metal objects with precision, but how is that possible with fabric? Even though that's exactly what is happening in front of my eyes, I can't comprehend it.
Can your wonderful shirt makers create a single French cuff shirt ?
Men of couture we meet again
Good evening
Kirby reminds me of a rather more sensible Bertie Wooster.
Amazing, but I’ve always hated textiles
Andover, Massachusetts, New England or Andover, Old England?
Andover in England, UK.
There is a terrible neck gap in the suit Kirby is wearing. Surprising!!
This is "Art".
Kirby your voice is a bit raspy in this episode. Perhaps recovering from a late night at the Sahakian lounge?
It was all of the pollen in the air… destroyed my voice.
Amazing, but why didn't you dressed it? 😂
You seem to talk way more in London :D
Is Kirby losing his voice? Those wild London karaoke nights! 😮😅
The voice was in bad shape…
They'd probably have a difficult day if Don Cherry placed an order.
Looked it up Just wow Is he gay?
@@jamesrath25
Nope. Don Cherry is a genius of a man. Albeit, 9.8/10 in personal arrogance. 😊
@@rob379lqz I think you mean personal *elegance* 🤣

I find Helen's accent interesting. How would this accent be described?
I believe it is an accent from the Midlands of England. Around the Birmingham area if I am not mistaken
@@kirbyallison Hi Kirby and Anleme.

What happen to your voice Kirby? Nice video by the way 👍🏻
My voice was ravaged on this trip. I’m surprised we were able to film at all…
I watched 38 minutes of this just to see how she makes the collar…and they skip it. 😢
Quality that the typical asian imported shirts don't offer
If a middleman said he wanted top quality... China, as an example, with direction and materials, are more than capable of supplying it. The "west" spent 200 years trying to equal their "china" a while back.
Only downside is a MASSIVE first order.... 1 shirt is fine, but plopping down for 5 shirts is not.
