The entire “you have to be a bespoke tailor in order to know what you doing” is actually an antiquated #menswear conceit. It is simply not the case. What’s important is that the “front of house” knows how to fit garments and communicate adjustments back to the tailors. This is precisely where Paolo excels.
@@kirbyallison you are right that you don't have to be a bespoke tailor to fit garments but in this case a lot of people feel that while he obviously knows how to fit people compared to your Savile row fittings this fit pales in comparison.
15:55 - Sounds good! When I was younger this wouldn't have made as much sense due to greater impatience and ignorance. To hear a Master Tailor sharing about how ideas change throughout the process is an encouragement to stay open-minded in creativity while working with the fundamentals. Thank you for sharing your perspective, Paolo. Thank you for the upload, Kirby.
it could sound a little bit pretentious for most of people, but this series expose such craftsmanship in an incredible way. As well as the explanation it’s great. This content could also be used as a content for English as a foreign language teaching, due to the level of engaging and the clarity and beauty of explanation. when something connects with you, that makes the difference. Everything flows, that’s a metaphorical explanation of bespoke tailoring. The patterns of fabric flows graciously and easy. Thanks Kirby. Ones aging I promt you for coming to Spain Ribera del Duero for savoury of world class wine craftsmanship. Thanks
Best video yet Kirby. Thanks so much. Because of Kirby I just got my first pair of Lobb shoes, and This tailor will get my first bespoke suit. I have the same shoulder problem from bad posture (the Jerry Orbach posture), so it will be interesting to see the final look of the coat to see if it mitigates any of the sad/endearing nature of this posture. It is so rare that anyone so readily gives advice so many of the finer things in life. We are lucky to have Kirby (and he is lucky to have us, because he can go about his life willy nilly doing his favourite things, and get huge sums put into his bank account just because he brings a camera crew with him (and because he is a blue blood who learned all this stuff over a period of 40 years). If anyone asks what his job is, he can say I am working right now, testing these new bespoke John Lobbs, this Cuban Cigar, this Saville Row suit, and on weekends my brother can take me for rides in the f16 fighter jet, and that will be work too if they allow the cameras to shoot it....
@kirbyallison you look fine! A handsome silhouette! Not everyone needs a square cut folk. If it's a personal thing, I understand, as I have many complaints of how the goddess built me. But you are a fine build without any modification, Kirby.
I love the quick turnaround of the video series. I'm really excited to see the final result. I love seeing this process. I learned a few new thing...e.g. his explanation about the canvas was interesting as was the talk about "balance" and the shoulder adjustment. Very informative. Also congrats on 700k subs!
Kirby, I personally don’t own a Bespoke suit. I do own made to measure. I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking the time to go deep into how this works and looks!
THIS GUY IS GOOD MATE! 👍 👌 you can tell by the confidence in speak that this gentleman is a master of his trade, i love it, and a whisky with him would be great chat! 😊😊😊
well done, Paolo! while I still disagree with calling Paolo a "tailor," I really enjoy his extensive fitting. Though many of the steps are just "for show" that's what the deep pockets customers are paying for anyway, kudos to him for this, too. On another note, Kirby looking at another navy suit and saying "I don't have anything like this" made me giggle. He has graduated from gray to navy, a big step for sure!!😂
It's so funny hearing Kirby ask these questions just for the purpose of the video, when we all know that as a guy who owns $80K+ worth of bespoke suits he knows damn well how all of this process works 😂
With all due respect. On another note, does anyone else feel this gentleman could portray Al Capone in a movie? Maybe it’s just me but I feel he looks very familiar to him. 🤷🏻♂️😂
Kirby, I think you might regret having so much back suppression. You have an "unusual" gait and your seat protrudes when you walk. This protrusion is exacerbated with this degree of back suppression. I would loosen that up a little imo.
It’s a common body type for people can look it up. Means you have weak and strong muscles in diff places. Lordosis is one of these types but not the one he has
How regrettable that the USA doesn’t have a tradition of bespoke tailoring/shirt making/shoe making/underwear making/dressing gown making and the like. Thank goodness for the UK.
When did the suit style change from the lapels interfacing higher up on the chest to the current norm where they meet more in the middle of the body (I hope that makes sense)?
Another enjoyable show. It’s not often that a guest is so personable yet businesslike but he pulls it off. However he is not a tailor. When I review the suit on the show I can’t help but compare it to previous suit shows from other tailors and sadly the quality of this three piece suit does not stand up well. The “front man” ( forgive this whimsy comment ) is a charming chap with endless retail experience but none in tailoring. It’s as if he was given a intensive two week course in how to use chalk and create “ tailor marking”. Mind you I think most of us as Kirby’s viewers after all the various tailor shows on the channel could get away with major flim flam on this area !! Anyway back to the suit. The measurements were taken by a non tailor on the opening show so it’s no wonder every part of the three piece suit is out of kilter. The trousers have been cut too low in the waist. The trousers are to loose and baggy and too long. The waistcoat collar needs major revisions to fit and the front and back lengths, hopefully they can be fixed by the cutter and the rest of the tailoring team. As for the jacket - my initial reaction is that the length is to short all around. Certainly at the front. No idea what the idea of the grid mark area on the shoulder was all about. I think the tailor showed him the first part of the trick but not the second. Instead it became - Let’s just pin the cloth areas together on the shoulder and rip of the sleeve ! It also seemed far to tight at the rear of the jacket. I know it was pinned cloth to cloth together at the front which does reduce the waist width. But why do that surely you fit it as if the button was fitted. The main issue is I think that he mentioned they have a template formula to help initially design the suit. Clearly it’s not working ! And how is that then bespoke to the individual. I look forward to part three ….
Perfect video like always Kirby. I just can´t believe, what the tailor said. Men really come visit him wearing T-shirts? Do these men have at least some intelligence ? If you go to buy a really expensive suit, that is so obvious, you got to be wearing a suit, since measurements are best made on the type of garment, you are going to wear. Well, Kirby is smart guy and knows, what he is doing. By the way, I didn´t know this tailor before, so it´s something new for me. Again, well done!
The man being interviewed kept referring to the tailor he works with. Then who is the man being interviewed, the man that just takes the measurements? What’s the difference between the tailor who wasn’t in the video who does the sewing, and the man being interviewed who takes the measurements ? Also, when they kept saying “sewn by hand”, does that mean the tailor doesn’t use a sewing machine at all?
Hmm, interesting. When I watch first fittings in the UK, the tailor has to make barely any adjustments. Here though, the suit looks like a WW2 map. I don’t know why but that makes me doubt the tailors abilities.
But he is not a tailor… that’s the point. In the previous episode with the details of his previous employment he showed he is “a front of shop man”. Very personable and thoroughly smart but he has not trained as a tailor. I feel sorry for the other US tailors who are missing out
@@monkeypawismThis program is promoting a non tailor who is based in the US. Yes the company has tailors clearly who are doing the back end work - the cutter etc etc. Why am I sorry ? Now there are a number of young hungry and talented United States based “real tailors” (ie) ones that have spend years and their money learning the craft. Why not promote these guys on Kirby’s showing a real tailor ?
I think KA explained this on his last video with Paulo but some tailors are great at design but not at listening…Paulo is the intermediate in that he can listen to the customer needs and translate that for the tailor
@@monochromebluess I understand the concern. I support your POV. I was merely commenting to KA that in this video at least he didn't talk over the guest, something he often does to much annoyance. But, do you think the American tailors appreciate having work fed to them via this middle-man? Perhaps the tailors have no skill to self-promote (something that could be learned) or have the time. This is a tough and interesting situation.
When the angle of the camera showed your back against the cream drape of the curtain, the suppression at the back was far too much - overall I feel its far too sculptured to your body and there will be little natural drape. Hopefully the second fitting will get this sorted out, but too many points have been changed this time I feel.
You say this is your first American made bespoke suit? What about Chris Despos, and Eric Jensen before he was with Galo? They are American's making in America.
@@zerahmot1787I am trying to understand why the title implies this is his first suit with an American tailor. He has had many suits made by American tailors. I understand it’s his first suit with this tailoring brand.
Do these bosses get upset when he ignores all the measures so he can use his formulas to cut parachute pants? He will be wearing concrete swimming trunks by noon tomorrow. Haha.
Bespoke waistcoats don’t need a belt, it’s irrelevant. Plus not having details like matching waistcoat pleats with the trouser pleats would be another nice detail that he’s not offering, he moved passed the armholes fit like nothing. I’ve see more attention to detail from other tailors, I’m not too sure about this one.
20:04 why doesn’t the tailor at this point have bend over, lift his knee, sit down, etc… to see how fate the pant leg ride up, expand/ contort. To see how much needs to be taken off?
Why dont you get one of those tweed suits the greenish ones the same one that tom hardy had on playing ron kray in the movie legend. And you can give us more detals about it
Bespoke suits start from $2500 dollars for a standard suit and take months to prepare so people must be really enthusiastic. They spend over two thousand dollars and wait almost 6 months for the final product. It does not matter which tailor you go to. The process is the same. .
Tailoring takes time and they have more to do. Yes it takes some time and it is expensive however if you take care of it it will be there for 10 years or more. And it fist you better than a off the rack suit.
@@martijnvangammeren1868 oh yes, absolutely. I meant that going bespoke does not always mean the same process and or result. In this case you pay a lot for basically a MtM suit made by a tailor. But on the other hand you can get a bespoke suit without a premade pattern for far far less. Which is the basic difference I meant to convey.
No offense to any American but, the British have adopted Kirby, he is quintessential British and in particular an English Gentlemen. Kirby is pure historical class.
Hi Kirby - I'm an admirer of your work and find much of the content exceptional and I normally love your videos. However, this one was hard to watch. While Paolo seems like a nice person and a wonderful story teller and sales person, he's most definitely not a tailor and should not be conducting these fittings. At this price point only a property trained master tailor should be entrusted with this responsibility. Paolo's lack of understanding is obvious throughout the fitting and almost cringe-inducing on several occasions. His lack of experience is also obvious in the look of the suit. The trousers are excessively baggy, the jacket is way too short while the suppression is extreme. And then Paolo proceeding to subtly blame rules of thumb for relative proportions to explain this ill-fitting garment was simply disingenuous. Using those massive cutting shears to remove the baste stitching or the tape to evaluate the balance....wow....this would be comical if he wasn't charging the equivalent of a small car for his suits. Ironically enough, the balance on his own jacket was too short and the lapel lacked that beautiful role typical of a bespoke garment. Ultimately, Paolo is a great businessman that figured out how to sell suits starting at 8-10k but he's not a tailor.
I don't think many people really grasp how incredible this level of quality and production is. I greatly enjoy every video you and your crew put out.
Wow, thank you! The editing team does absolutely fantastic work! Wait until you see Cuba!!
I loved Paolo's explanations in this video. He really takes you through the whole process and shares his personal approach to the art.
Sadly a lot of it is just salesspeak for "I am not a tailor"
@@teekue in which parts precisely does this happen?

I must say Kirby that suit Mr Paulo is wearing is just jaw dropping, what a drape, what style... AWSOME ✌️ 😊
And... nothing less than a Cartier on the wrist, white gold matching the suit chief.... Dapper, very Dapper!! 😂😂❤❤
He knows how to dress! As I would expect!
also the striped one in the previous video shot amazing
This tailor is extremely knowledgeable. Look forward to the final suit.

Good job not talkning over Paulo. I'm impressed by his methodical approach. Calming deamenor helps with keeping me focused.
Couldn’t agree more! He is very meticulous, for sure!
Looks like a fantastic start. Fingers crossed crossed for a superb final fitting
It's a good point this is really the only thing you can completely change and customize to your taste, what an experience

I wonder if the bespoke tailors use Australian Merino wool as their "go to" wool for their high end suits?

Ironically enough, the balance on his own jacket was too short and the lapel lacked that beautiful role typical of a bespoke garment. Ultimately, Paolo is a great businessman that figured out how to sell suits starting at 8-10k but he's not a tailor.
That was a joy to read. Nice
Are you a tailor?
Suppose I don't like shoulder pads? Will the tailor still make a suit for me?
USA! USA! USA!
