    Sometimes, there are just no words... This is one of those times. Without doubt, the best series you and your team have ever produced, Kirby! Assomeone who has always been keen on anything sartorial- and throw the shooting into the mix, (I used to shoot competitively) and it encompasses pretty much everything I enjoy!❤

    Alex Cook produced two magnificent 3 piece suits for me at Henry Poole. Friends and sometimes strangers stopped me to inquire where I had purchased them. There is nothing like a bespoke suit and they truly stand out. I remember Alex recommending a 3 piece suite over a 2 piece suite stating that if you take off your jacket, you still look dressed up. The videos bring back many great memories of 15 Saville Row, which hasn't changed in many years, plus the museum pieces and uniforms displayed at the entrance.

    Get exactly what you pay for in Bespoke experience/quality. Now you can see the fundamental difference from an off the peg suit and one made by hand. What's worse is suits all used to be made by hand using techniques! Offshoring, labor, and quality have all diminished - but they're charging more for less. Anyway, glad you're showing that this craftsmanship and heritage is still alive.

    His beautiful clothing is ruined by his poor posture. Forward neck position and curved back. If he could put at least 10% of the time he spends on selecting the best clothing into correcting his bad posture, then he would look much better even with off-the-rack clothing.

      As the professional, you work with the body presented to you, in order to make the client look the best that they possibly can. That is one aspect of the many skills that the bespoke tailor possesses. And off the rack clothing only caters to a standard that barely suits a tiny percentage of the population anyway.

      @@kristymcmillan7481 I do agree that a good bespoke tailor can work with any body type.
      But good posture and a slim body are more important than wearing bespoke clothing when it comes to looking your best.
      The bespoke tailor can cloth a 400lbs man with the best fabric and cutting. But he will not look good. While a man who takes care of his physical body, and has great posture can wear a simple white t-shirt with jeans and he will look fantastic.
      I think Kirby looks great. But for sure he could improve his forward neck posture with some simple exercises. That for sure would make him look much better.
