Delivered: My First Ever Pin Stripe Suit!! | Kirby Allison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Watch as Jonathan Sigmon of Alan Flusser visits Kirby Allison for the final fitting and delivery of his first-ever pin stripe suit personally designed for him by none-other than the famous menswear author Alan Flusser.
After meeting Alan Flusser in New York to go through a one-on-one personal consultation and measurements session, the decision was made to venture outside Kirby’s comfort zone with a triple bead chalk stripe navy suit.
This first meeting was followed by a first fitting in Houston. Now watch as Kirby is again joined by Jonathan Sigmon, to go through the final fitting of my first ever pin stripe suit, and hopefully have it delivered.
Kirby is meeting with jonathan Sigmon, a director of Alan Flusser, who took his measurements in New York. Jonathan goes through their process of the first trial of the suit, with any alterations noted.
The suit itself is a dark navy worsted wool triple bead chalk stripe 3 piece suit, which is very outside of my comfort zone. Previously all of my suits are solid colors, and usually leaning towards greys rather than blues.
Author of the menswear classic, "Dressing The Man," Alan Flusser has educated countless men on the rules of classic menswear. We discuss the made-to-measure program as well as go through a personal consultation. At the end, you get to see Alan Flusser's personal recommendations to Kirby for a new outfit!
Alan Flusser Made-to-Measure garments are a reflection of the house style they have developed and refined throughout 30+ years of custom tailoring. they emphasize a soft-styled design - the jacket is shaped, with natural shoulders, high armholes, and light full-canvas construction.
MTM garments are based on a block pattern, individually tailored to the client’s specific measurements and body posture. they hand-sew the garments where it counts the most, and hand-finish the lapels and pockets, and all alterations and buttonholes are finished in their New York City workshop.

![15 Suit styles reviewed by Master bespoke tailor [Style Guide] | Eric Jensen & Kirby Allison](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/R8xkFEPWuRI/mqdefault.jpg)
That's about a sharp a suit as I've ever seen. Utterly fabulous fabric.
Without exception the most appealing suit you have featured on your channel. Alan and Jonathan are masters at their craft. Love the shirt and tie combination as well. The entire outfit is superbly balanced.
For me that’s the best suit I have seen you in. It’s old school and will be perfect in your London club and the chalk stripe really suits you.
One of your plethora of black cap toes , I’m thinking the best would be Dominic’s as the shape will be perfect for this suit.
Happy new year to you Kirby.
Love Jonathan’s outfit and style
I almost didn't recognize him without the suit.
that green blazer's on point
Bob Harris he looks nice tho, suits doesn’t always mean you look good
... the blue jeans is a shit choice. 1/10

Great video, Kirby. Personally, as someone who started working on Wall St right after college, I gravitated towards pinstripes early on and really like the look. Hope you enjoy this new addition to your wardrobe.
The best suit you have no doubt as well as the most detailed tailor who is a perfectionist of the details.
Alan is a genius. The results came in exactly as he described. I wasn't sure this style would work, but upon seeing it, I'm very impressed.
It was great to see you so happy with your new suit. You look so comfortable.
Very classy suit. Their knowledge and attention to detail is impressive.
It takes bravery and courage to wear pinstripe suit with striped shirt, but you pulled it like a rockstar! Truly amazing silouette of yourself!
I love how the shirt as much as the suit, amazing job, Jonathan!
Feels. Like. A. Top. Notch. Businessman. Suit. !!! Undoubtedly. Such. A. Suit. Commands. Respect. !!!
The suit is just a gorgeous work of art.
Jonathans colors works so well together
🤔 I've seen this man before in other videos because I remember him talking about this green jacket he has on, apparently he loves it...
A claret coloured grenadine tie would also work a treat Kirby. What a lovely result from your consultations - most elegant sir!
That suit looks like it is worth every single penny. Truly immaculate. The detail and craftsmanship is impeccable.
Most gorgeous suit I've seen you in.
Would love to have a navy, pinstripe like that!
Excellent video to finish out this suit series, I learned many important areas I never considered when having a suit fitted MTO or custom made.
I love a tasteful done 3 piece pin stripe suits in that style with blue being my favor color base followed by black and brown.
Such a stylish but classic piece in my option to any wardrobe. Now you make me want to add another one to my collection but in black or brown since I already have one in blue and grey.
Thank you again for another great video with so much in depth knowledge Kirby.
Keep up the great work.
Kirby's work ethic is incredible. Take a break sir!
@@user-js2dr9gv1u ah I see the midwits are out in force this evening....
Amazing. Hope you get another one because it looks fabulous on you.
OK. Sorry to be _the_ person, but the stripes don't line up at the shoulders.
This is a _big thing_ in UK bespoke (stripes should always line up).
Does this opinion differ elsewhere in the world?
It is odd, I agree, but maybe it's because the suit is made to measure and not bespoke.
There was an article on this in PG: parisiangentleman.co.uk/2019/09/25/why-align-oneself/
I don't believe there is a steadfast rule requiring they match-up and the explanations in the article make sense. I've never heard of the UK bespoke houses having such a mandate but I will defer to someone who might be closer to it.
@@nimogt Interesting article and, as a fan of Hugo, a delight to read. Each to their own then, but I will look to this area and its alignment as the initial observation of the attention spent when building a striped suit.
Such a stunning suit. You really out done yourself with this beautiful piece.
Just spectacular. Sharp and classy as they come!
That is an amazing suit Kirby!
Kirby, I love how the new Pin Stripe Suit turned out. At first glance, the image that comes to mind is that of a banker or Fortune 500 CEO. You will truly enjoy this garment. When finance allow, one can never go wrong with including a Pin Stripe Suit in their wardrobe made of charcoal gray or navy blue! Thanks for sharing the results with us. May the new year bring additional garment acquisitions and fine footwear to your wardrobe closet!!! Happy New Years!!!
Dear Kirby,
I said it before but it bears repeating. This is the best looking suit I have seen you wear. I think it really fits your style perhaps even elevates it. Bravo! I would like to see what they would do in a Grey.
Did you ever do a final fitting with Jensen? I am looking forward to more great content in 2020. Happy New Year!
I rewatched this video. I love your enthusiasm! Like a kid on Christmas morning!
Are the suit pants cuffed? I agree with you, the consultation is the most valuable part. I bought some handmade shirts, but got very little guidance. Looking back I could have benefited from an expert's opinion. Jonathan seems to know his stuff. I am reading one of Alan's books right now and I hear the same thing from Jonathan. Again, great content, thanks for taking us into the best places for men's wear. Looking forward to continuing the journey with you. Cheers! Steve
Imagine Kirby going to the Gym and getting more muscular and by this also correcting his posture. He has to get every item in his wardrobe redone :^)
Great Channel, love the informative content.
That's why sometimes bespoke is not worth it. My body and feet expand and contract very much, and exact measurement does not make sense.
@@crisyorke1328 but if it's good bespoke, in theory, the garment has enough frabric allowance to refit the garment. Thats part of the value of bespoke. Unless you are a altherophile, it shouldn't that big of a problem, an even then...
But i get your point, i guess
Great looking suit and the shirt collar suits you much better than the shorter spread you have been wearing; no comparison. God Bless
Hey Kirby! Happy New Year! Thanks so much for the great content in 2019, and as always for providing the finest shoe care products I've ever used. I look forward to seeing what's in store for 2020. Now, others have mentioned, so I'll simply concur. This is definitely a fabulous looking outfit on you. You're right, they nailed it for you. It's so wonderful to watch your journey through style, and developing your own. As are many of your followers, seeing this final product I am shocked that you've shied away from pinstripes and bolder patterns. I truly hope that you see what all of us in RUclips land see, you look great. As I always do myself, just ask your wife! This is a fantastic New Year's video, I look forward to being part of your style journey in 2020. Thanks again for your dedication to offering quality products with quality content. Happy New Year!
Bro, you look sharp in those. Great choice!
"Updated drape" thats raw
It's a great choice of fabric and i like the pinstripe. You look more mature and it fit perfectly. I thanks you to introduce to us Alan Flusser made to measure. I plan in the near future to book an appointement with Jonathan Sigmon at 2500$ entry level it's a steal.
Amazing fit on you. It looks like THAT is your birthday suit
I really like it. I would’ve never thought of putting a striped shirts with a full striped suit especially a three-piece but I think it looks fantastic. I do pinstriped Trousers with striped shirts all the time. I think it looks fantastic as long as they’re not too similar, so it makes sense here. Honestly, it just looks rockstar.
That collar looks so much better on you than your collar you had at the consultation
Looking real sharp Kirby! 👌
Great suit, great shirt. I would wear one of my own ties with a bit more contrast, but it’s great too.
Wow, those sleeves
Excellent! Welcome to the club
This is the kind of navy suit you could wear for War.
Start of video : this should be interesting thanks RUclips suggestions
I am going to blatantly copy Jonathan‘s casual outfit :D
Max Shine who’s ever going to know? It’s our secret!
@KnightOfTheKing It was also Christmas time when this video was filmed, which makes the green a lot more fitting if you ask me.
Great Suit! love it! can we also have a full length view of the trousers?
Would have been nice to see the trouser length and how it draped on the shoes.
Your suit looks great!!!!
He has some amazing hair
Some bespoke service that is. Wow
Wow Kirby, beautiful!
Beautiful suit!
I have what I feel is likely a stupid question. When the tailor is doing a second/additional fitting, marking adjustments etc...do they then go back, and essentially take out all of the stitching and put everything back together?
Jonathan's outfit is too informal. Better would have been; dark blue jeans, a collared shirt, a different color shirt, the yellow works against his skin tone. All or some of these changes would have been prefereable. The green colored jacket was selected, I suspect due to the season, since I notice the christmas tree in the background. Jonathan is an amazing talent and a tremendous value to his customers. I would be honored to be a patron of this man's incredible service!
You should also have one made at Knize in Vienna
This chalk-pin stripe is beautiful. I'm very happy the chalk has made a comeback this year.
Over in Australia, we call this part-Bespoke; there's about 80% of the process that's custom, but the manufacturing is done out of a factory rather than hand stitched and the final adjustments are made by the tailor/cutter.
Did you make an allowance for a wrist watch? The left cuff looked a little tight.
The waistcoat lining at back makes the whole look. Such attention to detail. I'm guessing the suit is about USD2200 or so, that similar style is just under USD1800 over here. Worth every penny.
Lots to like about this suit. I can't help thinking that pin stripe suits can really age the wearer - particularly with such a heavy stripe. I wore a similar suit in my late twenties and I look back on the photos and think I looked much older! That's not a good thing.
So it's finished in New York but where is the bulk of the work done?
Beautiful Kirby
Amazing suit
Suit is beautiful. A bit surprised Jonathan did not adjust the suit at your waist. Looks a bit tight when buttoned (too much Thanksgiving turkey, Kirby?). And Jonathan's right shoulder roll at the seam is different from his left. Another fitting, sir?
Hey Kirby what happened to the Sartoria Jensen suit ?
Also in the other vid about this suit , the stripe was referred to as a chalk stripe ? errrr here it is called a pin stripe
@@user-js2dr9gv1u ya gosh I love double breasted suits a lot. They just look so classy. It's been quite some time since the second fitting of that fresco suit tho, can't help but wonder what has happened.
Not too bad at all. With the final tweaks and correctly pressed, it should look perfect.
I am curious as to how much this may have cost.
On a side note, what is going on with the other guy's right sleeve where it meets the shoulder !?... something really wrong with that.
spalla camicia
stefan vukovic nope. Not at all! just look closer at the shoulder line..... if you use this term you should know what it means and how it looks.....
@@SirMopy look closer when he is standing and you will see he has spalla camicia...
Enjoying the channel. Subscribed.
Hmmmm
Only accolades for the suit from other viewers... 🤔
Overall the suit is great, but the sleeves seem a bit short, and the right sleeve was not sitting correctly.
And the demonstration: did I miss the head to TOE view? How do the bottoms of the trousers sitting/hanging against the shoes, heel, floor?
There was a LOT of TALK and not enough of the show.
Kirby, considering the detail you like to go into, this suit deserves a better showing on you as well as showing off the craftsmanship on the table (the inside and the details).
I am just very particular about beautifully made clothes - they deserve the limelight 😍
Thank you for sharing....
♥️👗♥️
A lot of talk including the bit you missed regarding the sleeves will be lengthened during the final adjustment.
Hi Kirby. Great video! Could you do a comprehensive video on what type of shirt, tie and pocket square best compliment a pinstripe/chalk stripe suit? Both single and double breasted. I’d love your advice on this topic as I’m sure would many in your audience. Thanks!
With Pin Stripe Suits, I like solid colored shirts and Ties, weather they are pastel , or Dark solid color shirts,
Is the jacket supposed to wrinkle in the upper bicep area when sitting because I notice both of yours is bunched up there.
Time for a pocket watch and chain.
Really beautiful suit! I’ve always wanted a 3 piece striped suit and I even bought a navy flannel cloth with grey pinstripes just in case I ever decide to have it made. But I can’t justify it because there isn’t a single situation in my life I would get to wear it

An elegant, beautifully dressed man is as much of an eye candy as a woman. No event needed. You, dressed beautifully and feeling like a million dollars (a billion? 😉), will be THE EVENT. You are the event 😇👍🌞🥂🙏🏻😍 Make it happen.... Happy New Years 🌞
Natasha S thanks and happy new year!!
Hello Mr. Allison I have a question about this video. My question is than in case the trousers are not pull tab style how to choose a brand and color of a good leather belt thank you
I don't hear John's audio channel.
is it okay to button the jacket as a 3 piece
Yes it is okay.
I button when standing, unbutton if needed before sitting down. From watching TV and movies, it seems like the previous generation forgot to pass this habit down to us. I had to learn it from Don Draper and Roger Sterling :-)
How much does Kirby spend on clothes a year ?
More than me!
Kirby looks like Elliot Ness in that suit
Kirby I very much enjoy your videos and have learned a great deal. But a business suit is not formal clothing
How much did you pay for the whole outfit Kirby?
That would be $ 0.00
I imagined the price of Omega Aqua Terra.....
@@robertthorn9560 why specifically Omega Aqua terra?😂😂
Get it dailed in 😂
If it does not fit..it doesn't really matters who designed it.If it fits...then it is bespoke in some regards whether u pulled it from a rack or not.
can someone id his belt?
Martin Greenfield makes a great suit.
Chalk stripe I think?
HOW MUCH ????????????
Tie knot? Old Bertie?
I would make some peak lapels, or just wider ones
Should you be wearing a striped shirt as well as a striped suit.I was always told not to wear a striped shirt with my pin striped suit and I’ve always stood by that.
Agree thats the general norm. But i have to say that this combination was rather successful.
There’s no problem as long as the width of stripes are very different.
webley701 and that’s from Allan Flusser himself. All covered in his amazing books.
Very beautiful suit. Shouldn't the top button on the waistcoat be buttoned though? When it's unbuttoned, it looks as if the waistcoat is too small for you in the chest.
V nice
The shirt doesn’t appear to fit properly…
I'm just going to have to go against everyone here... the suit looks large on you... like I'm sure it fits great but its really making you look smaller. I'd love to see one on you with maybe closer lines
they really forgot to turn the sleeves though...
Are we ever gonna talk about his goyard trunk in the back?
oh no! Jeans!
I think John being dressed more casually works fine. It keeps him from upstaging or competing with Kirby's suit.
Flusser delivers MTM and custom to the same standards? That is impossible and a slap into the face of every bespoke tailor on the planet.
Pimpin dude
First
Kirby is great, good taste and good knowledge but i think he just tries too hard.
Trying hard for you guys! Doing this in front of a camera more difficult than one would think.
@@kirbyallison You're right Kirby, and big ups to you for doing it. A polite suggestion, if i may, please be more natural and carry yourself like you usually would. Even things such as you walking in and out of stores in some videos. Keep up the good work!
Lots of talking, and no details about the suit.
I think the dialogue is an important selling point for hespoke (sic). Two men sharing a common interest coming together. I watch to emulate their speaking patterns. This is important for those men unaccustomed to business groupings. Etiquette is a mystery for most of us, but the tailor here makes viewers feel at ease with his mannerisms and speech patterning.
Unfortunately that last minute decision for a final adjustment on the collar will have cost Kirby dearly, with things the way they have turned out with regard to deliveries and face-to-face.
Jeans with jacket looks faddish and outer garments should not touch flesh. Nice haircut though.
Don't forget the fourth F. Pure FUKERY! I'm all about classic style, but holy shit Kirby, it's not 1923.
These kind of crass statements are exactly why beautiful suits like this are collecting dust in closets today, because we are told by postmodernist fashionistas in their white Nikes and those who are influenced by them, that it is not for the millennial age as if there is no timeless factor to them, and fedoras and waistcoats are treated the same way. It's time for that narrow mindedness to go away and let us have our classic American style again. We look damn proper in it.
Pencil neck. lol
