In Episode 4 of Kirby Allison's "From Suit to Shoot" RUclips series, Kirby returns to bespoke tailoring house Henry Poole for his first fitting with Managing Directory Simon Cundey and head cutter Alex Cooke.
The first fitting is called a “basted fitting”, and this is where the various components of the pattern are simply “basted” or loosely sewn together. They say that the first fitting is for the tailor and not the customer. It is when the posture of the client, and how that will affect the overall balance of the garment, is carefully assessed by the cutter. At this stage, it is critical that the jacket is perfectly balanced before proceeding further in the process of construction.

The intro to this series should win some kind of editing award. Actually, that and the series itself should be in the running for some other kind of awards, also.
Agreed!
Excellent production. 🧵🪡👔!
This whole series has been a pleasure to watch! Given me so much knowledge as I build up to my 1st tweed jacket soon enough.
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!❤
This series is beautiful and mesmerizing ! Hope we’ll have more of those !
The best is to come!
Production quality is simply amazing. I keep being impressed by Kirby's team of like 3-4 guys being able to produce this level of quality documentary.
The concept of from nothing to something with everything in-between has been very enjoyable. I've enjoyed learning so much
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.
I absolutely agree 3 piece suits always. This series is wonderful. There is not like watching something being created.
The entire series is without equal. There is nothing in all the world more relaxing than watching high level tailors practicing their craft. WELL DONE Kirby!
Spectacular episode, Kirby! I LOVE the blue lining on the waistcoat - great detail! Can't wait to see you sport it in the highlands!!
This series is a master piece. The introduction, music, the editing, everything work in harmony, so well balance, is very inspiring , makes you realize how important quality is. Thanks to your channel a others like Sartorial Talks and Gentleman's Gazettes, helps me to understand how important is to be a well dress gentleman.
KILLED IT WITH THIS SERIES KIRBY!!! MAGNIFICENT BRO!!! 😎👍❤️👌😄🔥❤️🔥
Kirby this is wonderful the whole series. It is so beautiful. It lifted my soul. Thank you.
Funeral director goes hunting. Love it! The tweed is gorgeous
Haha. Nick would be proud.
@@kirbyallison Leave the animals alone, they also have the right to live.
Meh, what right to life. There is no right to life, the only people whom you see going on about the right to life are ... living people. They've got a vested interest! I dismiss that right outta hand, it's a biased point of view.
@@kledingstylist ?
@@kledingstylist If oyu've never had turkey on Thanksgiving or Christmas, you have a fair moral posiiton. Otherwise -- nope.
Excellent. Nice photo of Her Majesty on the wall
Loving this series. Showing. Then incredible work and craftsmanship that goes into this. I’d love a well tailored suit. But my weight fluctuates terribly.
For and muscular for a while. Then I’ll have time off and put on some cushion.
Then I’ll be slim.
Then I’ll have muscle again or fat haha… I’m a nightmare
The intro is the best part for me....
Kirby...outstanding story, as told in spectacular narrative, video, audio, graphics and editing. Superb. The best I've seen on YT.
Kirby absolutely reveling in this experience!
When I dream at night, I dream of Purdey & Sons. The Best!
You're in for a treat soon...
What an amazing series
What a fantastic look and video Kirby. Bravo🙏
That looks fantastic Kirby. Congrats!
Great work in general, but this suit to shoot series is absolutely the best work you have done so far. Well done, and i ask that you also credit the musc used please as i love the scores you put into the videos. 👍

I get a feel of GoT anthem on this score!, but in a more calming notes, is it only me???!🤔
Excellent video Kirby & team. I'm enjoying this series. It's pitched at a particular audience which is fine. I think it's a great way for some country people who have an interest in this style to get introduced to Kirby and his channel as opposed to the more City focus of some of his normal content.
Fantastic, what a skill. Great filmmaking too, many thanks..
Congrats Mr. Alisson ! This series is beautiful !
Phenomenal craftsmanship showcased in a spectacular fashion! Kirby & Co great job, looking forward to more!
Through you and your channel, I’ve become obsessed with bespoke clothing. This suit is looking amazing!
Love the shooting suit look, a suit built to move in!
Same here. Just got my measures taken yesterday and chose fabric, lining, details etc for my first tailored suit. Excited!!!
Brilliant!! Are you teasing me with those clips of the sewing of the buttonholes?! 😏😉 I love those kinds of details! 🧵🪡 💚💙
The editor and intro are amazing! 10/10
Great episode
I'm enjoying this series. Keep up the good work, Kirby.
Absolutely fascinating! Great series,thoroughly enjoyable.
Great episode (and series.) Looking forward to what boots you chose.
I can definitely see a difference in the editing and such, whatever it is, keep doing it. :D
No matter how expensive or inexpensive a suit is, there is a process and tradition that goes along with it.
Gorgeous.
Started watching to learn more about Purdy guns but am now enthralled with the suit making. Might have to have one made for myself some time. I can't afford the guns anyway.
Such a quite exquisite taste for a great shooting cloth for the suits.
Great video, thank you, Kirby🥰
Henry is such an amazing tailor..
Amazing Channel! amazing videos!!
sad to hear Alex leaving henry poole due to his health condition. Hopefully, he can get well soon. Thank Kirby to share his masterpiece with us here.
Didn’t know that and checked their Facebook page, and saw that he passed away
Maybe its just me, but is anyone else just a tad disappointed that we didn't get to see how Kirby manages his sock/stocking arrangements? I'm not keen to see him in his shorts or anything, but quite how does he keep his socks and/or stockings up so high?
Oh, and from a journalism perspective, don't you love how Kirby's comments draw the most out from his interlocutors? Class act!
Hi Mark - more on this in later episodes!
Really sad to find out Alex Cooke passed away in November
I wish I could “like” this video twice
Definitely not your ACUs from the military. I would love to have that jacket for a evening out. That is one great looking piece. Can’t wait for the hunt!!!! We get to see that right?
Sure do! Make sure you’re subscribed!
Thankyou kirby your suit is looking magnificent loving the tweed amazing thankyou 👏
Thank you very much for this video!
Great series!
This is Epic
Right at the end…..button holing by hand…..so very very exciting to see…
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very excited to see the shotgun
It’s looking good.
Hi Kirby I love the series so far as I love my life in the English countryside going on shoots etc . I would like to know what episode is the gun fitting one
Anyone notice Kirby’s vision laser tracking the hanger he uses to hold his jacket at about 12:25
hahahahahaha
That was one skimpy hanger 😅
Fantastic series Kirby.
You really have inspired me to start my journey on the Sartorial ladder.
I'm not sure if you will share, but can you let us know how much your 5 piece cost at Henry Poole to provide an idea of the costs involved?
Hello sir, dont know if Henry Poole is mentioned but your comment instantly made me think of another video of Kirby's: ruclips.net/video/nr0zQFdgt2Y/видео.html
Im sure this gives you atleast an idea!
I think there’ll be some promotional deal for Kirby here, but normal retail would be around £5k.
Thanks.
Kirby's videos have made me more British than the British guys.
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.
The handwork can be offshored. But the knowledge, command of the cloth, and experience never will be.
I hope we can see some bespoke Overcoat with large sleeve hole and straight wide shilloute cut.
awesome
I love your content!! I would love to make a suit one day. I'm loving and subscribing your channel. From The Philippines.
World Best-Henry Poole
Kirby, what music is playing in this series? That kind of music is what I need to listen to after a long day of work. Keep up the great work!
The production quality of these is astonishing. Was there an entire film crew?
4 of us in total
and thank you for the kind words
I don't know when this was filmed, but hunting season doesn't start till September. So either we have to wait a few months, or Kirby already has it. Kirby -- you wear hats - tip it! Tell us!
Yes this was all filmed over the course of a few months, between November 2021 and March 2022. It takes a while to film and edit.
@@kirbyallison Ah yes, but I want to see the hunt! I have two springer spaniels and hunt pheasant, geese, ducks and partridge inthe Hudson Valley. At my club we dress up a bit -- plus fours, etc., but that suit is one of its own! BTW -- I'm the guy who teased you about your "funeral director" suits!
Hi. Back is very good.
Wunderschön
the sleeves of the jacket doesnt have an align pattern with the body.
Great video but what's with the shoulder dimples
Since your commissioning a shooting suit, does this mean you are going to commission a “bespoke or custom” gun to go with your suit and trip? I believe this would be the cherry on top, and like your suits & shoes would last a life time!
We visit Purdey in a later episode!
Kirby and his what do I do with my hands syndrome 😂
I love you kirby!
I LOVE this series Kirby, thank you
Quick question- why would one do “plus fours” as opposed to simply tucking their trousers into their hunting boots?
I’m sure there’s a reason, I just don’t know what it is.
Go back to the first episode
Interesting, but what do you estimate to be the cost per wear of such garments?
how much money you had to spend on the suit @Kirby Allison
I am so sad....Alex RIP
Who invented The suit and tie when I go looking for a answer I can’t really find one person to name 🤷🏾♂️ it would be nice to do a video on that
Kirby can you please tell us how much Is the price please ?
Kirby did you shoot anything? Cheers.
What was the total time frame of your stay or was it divided into several trips to GB ?
We filmed this across three trips to London.
Ok how much does all this cost
couldn't click fast enough!
Hi I'm curious what sewing thread do they use for a bespoke I'm expecting all pure silk sewing thread and not plastic🤮🤢 polyester thread.
He spokes the kind of American English that foreigners think we speak lol
I know that these suits can be adjusted if one gains or loses weight, but as detailed to perfection as these are, I would be concerned about any change in body habitus affecting fit.
First bespoke suit delivers with a scale…
@@kirbyallison - ha! I love suiting up but have very little opportunity to wear one.
👍👍
Fun fact: Alex is almost as good as a dj as he is a tailor
Didn’t know this…
“Scatland” god bless Americans 🇺🇸 😅
The first suit I got, I said the pants were a bit long, the dude grabs them and yanks them up near my belly button, haha, yeah I was wearing them a little low
Haha. Hilarious. Has happened to us all.
@@kirbyallison Hey, thanks for the reply!
Can someone point me in the right direction for a suit for a big man. Here in the US, I can never find one that fits like I'd like. #ImTalkingToYouKirby lol
Good looking suits. But should the blue lines of the sleeves match with those on the front body.
At the basted fitting stage, they don’t. They are aligned at the forward fitting.

Hi litte sorry the and video push on suit on the camera (do not mistrub table make video please) very perferct every day video.
Not a good room to shoot a video!
Never liked Tweed. Looks tacky and doesn't go with anything.
Your opinion runs contra to that of millions of guys round the world.
Yet i believe millions also agree.
@@WatsHisFace You and the millions of others with no sense of style.
first :)
Leave the animals alone, they also have the right to live.
No one dresses like that anymore, maybe tasteless bankers showing off.
Gosh, Kirby is just so off puttingly dull (yeah not a word I know) but the subject matter is fascinating and the production value is great. I’m so torn about his stuff. I wish he had a double that was less cringy
He interrupts a lot too but it’s common with Americans
@@carmina776 that is common with a lot of nationalities but yes Americans. Irish are another. Unfortunately for me I’m Irish American 😂😂
He tries to sound so smart with these drawn out dialogues after cutting people off. It’s cringe but hey, here we all are.
