I think his tracksuits are great. He obviously is very comfortable on his own skin and it doesn't take away any of his knowledge or experience. Also when you know and have accomplished as much in any given trade, you are probably a bit of an eccentric.
Kirby, thank you for this wonderful peak into the world of men's fashion from Alan Flusser. I appreciated his emphasis on owning the process of your wardrobe and not just being dressed by someone else!
I've just adquired this incredible piece for my personal library. I see a long but satisfying learning path.
Just purchased his book and will finish it before spending more on clothes. Going to step it up a level or two. I feel I got the shoes down from what I learned from you Kirby!
Becoming a fan of you Mr. Allison.
Thanks!
Allow me to start out by saying thanks so much for this excellent video I have always appreciated Mr. Flusser fashion sense and style I indeed enjoyed the video and gleamed so much helpful information looking forward to part two of the interview again thanks!
Thanks, Frank!
enjoyed the video, but what the hell tracksuit bottoms and pinstripe jacket, i guess if you get a name for getting up early you can sleep to lunch time, by the way your suit looks sharp
He probably thinks since he literally wrote the book, he can now break the rules and dress however he wants.
Or maybe he knows what he wrote is a bit shit.
A great idea for a video, Mr. Allison! and just as one cannot judge a movie by examining one still frame, I would not judge Mr. Flusser's wisdom by staring at his track pants, as distracting as they were.
agreed, I think he just came back from the gym, and he was the best dressed there to be sure.
@@phototristan You HIT the nail right on the head!!! Mr. Flusser has always been a bit eccentric. Basically, he saying, I wrote the book(s) on this thing, I know what's right and wrong!!!!
when you get to a certain level in life with certain sucess and certain accolades you ascend to a new level..............hence the sartorial choices flusser has made. he has already written the most definitive books in menswear........next to take ivy of course so now he can wear whatever he wants. he is not here to please us!!!!!!!!! great interview kirby.............
I have his first book, "Making the Man". Unfortunately, many of the stores he mentioned are no longer in existence.
Yes, sadly, you are correct.
What tie knot are you wearing in the beginning of the video
I have just bought S&TM. I am not sure, after seeing what he is wearing here, that it was a good idea to buy his book. M.
Nice background music. I feel like someone should be coming up any minute and bringing me a plate of something Italian.
He also wrote the book Clothes and the Man
Kirby how would you rate his bespoke suits? More to the point what U.S. based bespoke suit makers can you recommend?
I had an opportunity to tour his bespoke workshop, and it seems that he has everything one would need to do super high-quality bespoke. He has a full-time master tailor who does all of the cutting and several coatmakers on staff that work in the same workroom. Alan Flusser, clearly, has an incredible eye and sense of style. Together, I'm sure they're doing super high-quality work. And at around $5,000, the price is on par with other US makers and is less money than anywhere in Europe.
Far be it from me to question a man of his knowledge and experience, but is he wearing a track suit? :D
Like many, I was a bit bewildered by the combination of a tracksuit with a striped suit jacket, worn by a renowned style expert.
But I think I figured it out. The clue is at the beginning of this interview, also by Kirby Allison

I believe it is a reference to 30s fashions, when flannel trousers were worn for sports like tennis and cricket and nonchalantly combined with a suit jacket to wear to and from the court, as a suit jacket did not have a special dressed up status in the 30s.
Alan is putting a modern spin on that look. It is actually kind of cool with that context, but maybe a bit of an obscure homage for people on the street to get!
Style icon Mr. Flusser.
Insightful interview with the man who literally wrote the menswear Bible outlining the basics of men's dressing. If you need to know the answer to something, read Flusser
Second installment coming next week! Even better than the first. Stay tuned...
Well, he might be under the weather... or in a serious chill mood.
I enjoyed he video very much. I have Dressing The Man and found very informative. But looking the way you both were dressed I rather listen to your thoughts on style
I've met few people that know more about classic men's style than Alan! It was such an honor to sit down with him and hear his story. In the second video of this series, we get into his recommendations on how to start building a classic wardrobe.
hmmm... can't say i want to look like the fashion expert....
Considering the gentleman has written books on style and how to dress etc, he seems to be a bit scruffy and not a very good advert for his books..
To say the LEAST!
Was making preparations to source the book... until I saw the ridiculous get up. Difficult to take advice from someone who dresses in such as manner as would outwardly indicate the fellow is somewhat clueless and out of touch. Doesn't speak well of him or what expertise he may have had. He's but one step from having shown up in a stained wifebeater covered in Cheeto dust- one would think he might have made the effort for the interview...
Haha. Rest assured, Mr. Flusser still dresses impeccably. We just didn't give him much notice on this Monday.
I agree with you. However, I think it would be better if he would take the jacket and the scarf off, and remain in the hoodie and tracksuit pants. At least that would look like he's just back from a run through Central Park, or whatever. He obviously dressed like this on purpose. Very weird.
I actually like the idea of wearing a hoodie under a tailored jacket, but the jacket should be more casual (ie not pinstriped) and the hoodie thin enough not to disrupt the fit of the jacket.
Oh, wow! This is unexpected.
Try doing a video with Ralph Lauren, much classier than this guy.
We'd love to do a video with Ralph. Flusser is actually writing his Biography... maybe he'll help us land that interview!
I love how Flusser never follows his own rules and so called "theory of colours". Oh well... most of it is garbage anyway.
It does not matter how famous or successful he is. Alans outfit is both rude and insulting.
Gabriel Cerullo what is insulting about it?
I am a guy who has a family background of dressing sharp, enjoy putting together a good outfit myself (not much occasion to wear tailored jacket let alone tie though).
What I wonder is, who takes any style advice from a guy who wears a zip hoodie as his middle layer between shirt and suit jacket, a giant pretentious scarf indoors, and weird shoes to mismatch? It only says nothing, in the most egregiously roundabout of ways. I think he's realized like everyone else that the actual "classic look" he used to champion, a total throwback to Great Depression era style, just isn't the way to go contemporarily. Even wearing suspenders to the office is a statement that requires additional psychological maneuvering to pull off well. Maybe he did write the (woefully overbearing) tome on men's classic clothing, but he doesn't even follow his own advice. What he's taken to in its stead, just looks like a disheveled guy who doesn't know what he's doing. It's reverse style psychology reversed again and again. Ugh.
