  • Kirby Allison, Founder of Hanger Project, had the chance to meet up with Wil Whiting, while both were in San Antonio for the Trunk Show. 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.
    Wil Whiting is focused predominantly on quality to ensure each customer receives a shirt that encompasses the true meaning of the term "bespoke," as known with the traditional British tailoring community.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      @Myrslokstok 5 лет назад

      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.
