After the third fitting for Kirby's Bespoke Casual button-down collar shirts from Wil Whiting, the two go over the types of fabrics that are available and which ones Kirby should select.

Watching this video I kept looking at both of their shirts as they moved around. The entire collar area of Wil's shirt was perfect and never moved off of perfect. That's a shirt worth a lot of money.
Wil‘s attention to detail is amazing. Inspirational video. Thanks
Fabic selection... 😂😂 This made my day! Great video, Kirby!
Wonderful choices Kirby, something for every occasion.
I’ve watched and seen both a lot of things in my entire life, but I’ve never seen anyone ever actually select out fabrics for making custom shirts. That is an absolute first to observe for me. Thus, it was interesting. No idea where you’d find a guy like Wil for custom shirts. But then I’m not sure I could maybe afford it. Still, good to know.
To find someone like Wil I'm sure it's a pretty penny! I've had two custom shirts done from two different people though and neither were more expensive than $150. They fit like a dream and I love them! Choosing out the fabrics was as super cool part of it. You can even have different colors on the inside of the collar which is my favorite part. You should look up a local tailor, I'm sure they could make you one.
@@RaysLongoria Interestingly, Wil's shirts appear to start at $560 each, minimum order of 4.
Best video in the series yet!!
Great video. Fabric choices are excellent.
Great to see too gentleman don't see many about well I don't anyway. Love the sounds of the books unfolding lol
So therapeutic watching kirby s videos
At 13:53, you mention not wearing undershirts with your dress shirts. Are there any issues with staining at the underarms? If so, how do you keep the shirts clean?
When did you pick out the buttons? Would be awesome to see his button books.
7:59 - Love the subliminal Kirby thumbnail image here...
Wil is waring a Breitling Emergency COOL !!
Informative Kirby; thank you.
I don't know....white linen in 120 to 160 is my go to. For both suit and without tie etc...it works at work and at dinner. Coloured is fine but is more informal spring stroll option to me.
So classy of you. You are a smart fox.
Thanks for watching! Please stick around. ;)
Wil's shirt is the bomb. I wants me one!
Consider a Shacket. It’s a combination of shirt and jacket that Wil designed for quite nights overlooking the Thames. Also highly recommended is the Tom Collins. It’s a pair of Rob-Roy style pants that Wil designed with a Bum flap, which one can wear for mucking about, cheek paddling, or trouser horseplay.
@@Mrbrbusby , does the Tom Collins come in dusty pink or lilac? Asking for a friend.
Wasa Bista All of Wil’s merchandise is available in the fabrics shown in this video. If you watch the other videos in this series or visit his website you can learn all about the Shacket, the Tom Collins trousers and the Baby Blue seat liners that Kirby references above.
Not only that it is so perfectly tailored it does wrinkle or pucker when he moves in it- he is the possible?
Doesn't wrinkle or pucker.
How much per shirt?
Kirby Thank you for introducing us to Will Whiting his shirts are works of art ! I have a question. What length do you prefer your suit trousers to be ? and do you measure them where they touch the hill of your shoes since they are bent in the front ?
Mike Scott
Maybe it depends on the suits but I think he said he prefere a normal break, think they wanted to shorten a pair recently but he was pleased with a normal break.
I love videos like this!
I need a shirt in yellow. Pastel or bright. I love yellow
FYSA: Thumbnail says "Fabic"
what's the brand and bunch name of that cotton flannel?
How many shirts total? And how much did you pay??
The heavier 250 gram cotton flannel is by which mill.
Hi Kirby, you have so many bespoke garments and shoes in your wardrobe. You mention pairing some shirts with jeans. Do you have jeans ready to wear, made to measure or bespoke?
I'm wondering the same thing 😃
Choosing color is very difficult, for me i like grays and lighter blues. Whites oddly enough sit out of place.
Kirby, you need to be sipping on a glass of liquor during these videos
Haha. The viewer, right? I agree that all of our videos are best enjoyed with a nice libation.
Is he wearing a Breitling Emergency? If so, why does he need that tech? So many questions.
Would buttoned down collars be considered less formal? I have never found those attractive...
Yes, buttoned down collars are less formal.
I hated them to, but bought a very dressy wounderfull Italian denim shirt with them and one MTO without them and I have now changed my mind, they could work well if they are well done on the right shirt. My next light blue denim will have bottoned down collars.
I'm very sorry to be negative , but for a bespoke shirt ! Was the USA visit a 3rd fitting supposed to be a shirt to be worn as trial for fit comfort etc after also sensible washing trials.I think it was commented in the video that buttons needed changing on collar ? In my opinion & observation although not easy with woven stable fabrics ! the first button was slightly too high & the fabric also pulled across the chest at that height? There seemed to be issues with the armhole cut, perhaps slightly too high being untidy at that point of outside chest also? An extremely difficult thing to get right but the drape of the sleeves not good , too many folds? Both sleeves were too short with left being more so ? Cuffs perhaps slightly too tight ?As noticed during the all trials although high back was good , back across around the lower armhole area needed attention to make back look cleaner ? For me these should have all been resolved after first fitting. Shows how difficult it is to produce an excellent bespoke shirt to customers with high expectations which perhaps 75% do have !?

Why would someone monogram the front of their shirt? Never heard or seen it thus the curiosity.
Wil's shirt to me looks more petrol then charcoal.
Tiring of solid flannel, tried check and plaid flannels with tweed, and find acceptable. Love flannel as warm without being too much if does turn out to be a warmer day.
Looking forward to the future videos, your choices are nice.

Laverne’s monogram
I thought the same thing. The placement choice especially struck me as rather odd, but perhaps it would look nice? A little skeptical though.
Just watched Jon of the Kavalier channel discussing a couple shirt brands and mentions this type of monogram is Italian, though Jon shows it much lower to where would think be covered by the pants.
I suspect it's so one can spot ones shirts at the dry cleaners.
@@adammouse6231, then wouldn't it be covered?
Guess don't need to know as wash my own, even hand wash my wool pants at home. ;P (Being ornery.)
HAHA, just get a silk shirt and call it a day!
What is the price on one of these ? I know it can vary greatly depending on fabrics, but what is a ball park figure ?
I read on a forum that the completly hand made are from $700 and a minimum of 4 shirts.
The mostly mashine made are about half that. Seems reseonable I know of a very good bespoke tailer when it is from like $300, but then they have them made in Italy then I think. They do not have the space themself beqause they would like to seperate the white ones from the colored ones in seperet locations.
It is not for deadly people and probably not the first thing to invest in. A nice shirt feels nice to wear but under a jacket and tie it show less, and they do get unfresh eventually, collar stains and wear and tear. My MTM for $150 is ok for me and I change wight a lot moore anyway for it to be milimeter precision.
I do get that it is not the mechures actually but a bespoke pattern and probably fittings and mostly personal knowledge as well.
I do think it is a great leep to go MTM for an aditional $30, and that is well worth it. You get to choice the fabric, the mechures and the style of the shirt that is probably 90% good for 90% of the guys. Insted of buying out of collar size plastic package. You have to wait a month tough.
😃
I did know Leonel Messi was also a tailor!
Hi Kirby,
a little late to the party here, but the Monogram, are they on the interior of the shirt or exterior?
Daniel Ward
How could they be on the inside, maybee the inside of his jacket.
I would not bather with monograms, less so on the front, I wash my own shirts.
Should they not choice all the other features?
Do you have any interest in the gym/fitness or participation in sporting activities?
The one guy who voted this down just doesn’t believe in true love. @19.22
🤣🤣😂 I saw that too
Nice video!
What was thw maker of the 250 gram fabric and which type of DMC Therese does he use for embroidery?
Whil whiting - Stewie Griffin
Awful lot of fuss for a few shirts. I can usually pick out a half dozen shirts off the rack in about 15 minutes. Lol!
Umm, if this is a truck show, where are all the trucks?
rob379 trunk show
MrJamescord ... oh gosh, embarrassed, my apologies. Thanks for clarifying.
Ok, I watched again and I see not car trunks, hatchbacks, Holden cartrucks, El Camino’s...
Hmmm. 😒
@@rob379lqz , But where are the trunks? Both men are wearing long trousers. ;)
Wasa Bista ... nonono! Maybe do a RUclips on car trunks. I think in English and commonwealths call them boots.
May we please request a RUclips about boots and trunks. Very clear and unmistakable.
Stylish... no.
