Let's give them the wobbliest tables ever made
For Those new to the channel, these are Kirby's keywords: Well-dressed, quality, craftsmanship, tradition and proper.
If you don't hear any of these words in a video made by Kirby then know a clone has taken over and hidden the real Kirby 😉 😅 🤣
Kirby, why don’t you just move to London? 😂
No proper weather
They would gladly trade Meghan Markle for Kirby.
I’ve honestly wondered the same thing…
If he moves to London he can’t mooch free cigars any more. Kirby is pathetic with his bespoke this and
That
It's a shame he actually respects British culture
I am so far from being a real gentleman. I just wear nikes sneakers and t-shirts. Moreover I've never been in London, but once I get there I will be 100% ready because I watch all your videos Kirby. Thank you so much.
He knows a good used sneaker place, I'm sure.
Thank you for all you incredibile content Kirby! You are truly one of a kind!
I hope the other competitions are going to be on your channel!
Congrats to all the competitors!
In college, I shined shoes at Oak Hill CC. Ever since, I've appreciated great shoe shines and care.
Thanks for the video Kirby!
I shined shoes at Kenwood CC.
👍👍
Nice video! Thank you
Amazing content as always
I was rooting for the Japanese contender. I noticed he did not use the final white buff cloth.
Up the Guardsman. QS! I’m a former Irish Guard too so all the best to you.
"Hi, I am Kirby Allison, and I am back in London..."
Me I am like, 'dude, did you ever leave London?
Kirby needs to buy a 🏠 in London or even a nice land in Scotland 😃. I think he spends a lot of time there
That was a beautiful shine
Maybe it would have been a good idea for the audience to see the shoes up close, Just so we could have had a greater understanding of what the real judges were looking for!! And then judge for our selves.
Kirby should of join the contest since he loves polishing his shoes 👞
That would be a conflict of interest because Kirby Allison is a judge!
@@bartell1307at least not this time 9:15
Kirby, I watched the 3 videos for your bespoke blue blazer and 2 pc grey suit, but I never saw the finished "Callenge" coat (the blue one) did i miss a video?
Nice video. Music was a nice touch. Hope they change up some minor things next time. They look crowded up there. Give them space. And what’s up with the wobbly tiny glass tables???
The talent these folks exhibit is astounding. For the life of me, I can't get a good quality shine on a pair of shoe ( Allen Edmonds). It keeps "flaking?" at the interior side of the toe cap (not after wearing, but during the "shining" phase). But hey, at least the removal and retry is giving me plenty of experience. It is a fun hobby watching a little TV at night. I do wonder if a better brand would make a difference.
Which polish are you using? I found when using drugstore shoe polish that it would flake off like this sometimes.
@@ramanshah7627 I use all Saphir products the creme surfine polish, medaille d'or, and mirror gloss. I'm almost certain its my technique between the d'or and mirror gloss. I can't figure out how Kirby and these pros seemingly mix between them and come up with such flawless work.
Extra points for wearinf suit and tie and not getting polish all over it
I was watching Jeep rollover compilations and this got recommended to me. But, because I’m drunk I watched the whole thing. I got nothing from it and wear steel toe work boots but thank you for the video.
Great to see a fellow Northern Irishman
"Monumental feet" good one
Japan and a smaller extent Singapore have dominated this competition. Well done
Incredibly incredible
🔥🔥🔥
Great suit brother!
Incredible how many times he says Incredible
I miss these
mr dapperrr!!
Shoe shined in Florence my shoes looked like mirrors
I have a queabout suit lapels - I've noticed that many of the nicer suits i see on tv and the tube have slightly wrinkly lapel hems --- I'm guessing it is to show off the "hand stitching"
If a jacket is hand stitched shouldn't the Seam be less noticeable ? Is it just a fashion choice?
Thank you gentlemen
According to Billy Bats, Tommy DeVito was the best - “now go and get your shinebox”.
Just picked up a pair of stunning shoes at a Thrift store that have 'BESPOKE' printed on the insole. How can I discover the craftsman who made them? Should there be initials or name hidden somewhere? Thanks for any input.
Whaaa? I never knew there was such a thing as a shoe shinning competition. Lol 😆
Excellent.
He's not a Londener ? Oh shit What a Gwai Lo ! 😄😁😂
Is it "one pair of shoe" or "one shoe"?
A pair of shoe sounds like your getting two right or left footed shoe, not one of each 🤣
🤣
@@jamm8284 The MC here was speaking of a single shoe but described it as "one pair of shoe"
@@jamm8284plural*, not pleural.
@@SallyMangos I'm sat next to my son while he's playing on the computer. I couldn't hear a word that was said 🤷♂️🤣
@@TheKotor2309 Yes spell correct on my phone is annoying. I can put in correctly spelled words and it changes it to an entire different word that doesn't even fit in the sentence.
Now go home and get your shinebox
I can’t believe they even have this kind of championships 😅😅
I hope the Japanese guy wins. Absolutely riveting!
shqiptare kudo, te afte ,bravo
1:01 Shoe making or shoe baking Mr.Allison? 🙃
😊♡👏

They need a closeup camera traveling on a line like in NFL games.
“people travelling from all over the world….”

😂😂😂😂😂
very great video! just bit of a shame that the announcer they chose have such a bad way with words, compared to what we are used to whenever Kirby expresses himself beautifully
I agree that Kirby is very eloquent. The announcer's native language is not English. That said, he has his own Nordic eloquence.
Judging the shoe or their fingers🤣
Judging should be blind (so they don't know who shined the shoe they're looking at), and the voting should be blind.
Kirby we need you to host this. The MC isn’t articulate it’s a nightmare listening to him. 😅
Press your finger deeper
Fun! You really should speak directly to the person you are interviewing and not the interpreter;)
Kind of insane that a non asian contestant has never won this.
How is that “insane”? Racist much?
Mirror shine in under 20 minutes? Not impressed. I watched the whole video in under 20 seconds.
I noticed that none of them clean the shoe first. That’s very important to do before you put any type of polish on whether it’s a new or a well worn pair of shoes. You have to clean the shoes first.
All they are doing is over and over.i dont see secret sauce .
My guy in Grand Central Station does mine in 5 minutes. What's with these guys huh?!
seems rigged
How so?
terrible glass tables, put them on proper wood sturdy tables
Now go get your shinebox
