To float easily between the artistry of the "Row" and the Sartorial world of differing capital cities is just amazing. I can remember when sports attire, jeans and trainers were banned at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, now anything goes if you have the money!

    I got caught wearing brown shoes in London once..worst day of my life. I was scolded by an older, proper English gentleman who said I’ve brought shame upon my family and am a embarrassment to proper London menswear. I couldn’t bare the humiliation so I immediately booked a plane ticket back to Dallas. True story..

      Any ‘proper English gentleman’ who did that is no ‘proper English gentleman’. A true gentleman would say nothing and would never be so bold or rude to scold another man for an article of attire. Even in the traditional London gentlemen’s clubs, as long as you are wearing a suit and tie, no one would comment on your shoes unless they were totally inappropriate ones such as trainers. These days it is not unusual to see brown shoes being worn even with a dark suit, as long as the shoes are of a traditional design.

    Kirby!!!!! Here we go again. After watching the London version of Gent’s day out, I found myself flying to London to make several purchases based on your recommendations.
    Absolutely love them. Whether it is Floris (I prefer the older Vetiver bespoke), two coats from Huntsman, and several pairs of shoes from G&G (10 pairs to be exact - all RTW but now working on a pair from the Optimum line).
    Really love the quality of the products and I treasure them deeply!
    So, why the angst? Because now you’re giving me ideas about traveling to Paris. You’re quite the expensive habit Kirby.

As someone who enjoys watching videos and looking at photographs from the early 1900's, could not but notice the contrast between Kirby and Julien and the rest of the men walking the streets of Paris. Although I do not have the means to buy bespoke shoes or suits but trying to be more formal in my style.

    In the beginning it seems like he is bashing a bit on England or rather "sucking up" to his host. However, England staying England allows France to stay France. Their style wouldn't stand out as much if everyone was doing it. England-France-Italy all have their place in men's wear and should all be cherished for what they bring to the wardrobe.

    Another wonderful Christmas bonus. Beautiful Paris. If indeed Julien De Luca is a great designer he must be not creating his own suit. Collar gap is so obvious and the length of the sleeves are so long there is no visible shirt cuff. It’s as if the suit is a size to large for him. Look at him standing on the pavement outside Cifonelli as an example.

    What would be the lifespan of some of those bespoke shoes?

      Easily a lifetime if cared for properly...

    I’ve been to Paris shopping before. Not as good as the uk but it’s alright. It’s just that the uk seems to make timeless classics and the French are very trendy but won’t stand the test of time. Ok if you have deep pockets though

      100% correct. Couldn't be more true. There is also an added benefit of density in London that you don't necessarily find in Paris.

    There are at least 3 other English speaking churches including Saint George’s. Quite a comical tour today

    So upset that you were not able to go by La Tour D'Argent original name Quai de la Tournelle. Not only an iconic restaurant but one of the oldest in Paris founded in 1582 by M. Rourteau, with his signature dish of pressed duck. He also introduced the use of a formal fork from Italy. The story is a fascinating one. They even hid the famous wine celkers which go 5 levels down underground, containing some of the oldest wines, cognacs and Armagnacs in the world from Hitler, by cementing up the walls, thus hiding the cellars for 5 years!
    It was also the very first Restaurant to have a Royal crest from Henry IV.

      Well, looks like we’ll have to go back and do another walking tour!

      @@kirbyallison I look forward to that. And when you come back to you can try the best Italian Restaurant outside Italy called Caprini in Waterloo. You'll be amazed who you'll meet in this tiny little restaurant

    I've now watched about 4 of your videos. I certainly couldn't afford anything bespoke, but as a woman of a certain age, I wish someone was doing these videos for women. The only ones I've seen are just showing women who are dressed in mostly labels. I'm totally enjoying these.

    Your friend has a nice collar gap and sleeves that were probably a bit too long👍🏼
