This series has been absolutely amazing. Tradition does exist thanks to people like you as well as the craftsmen and women who create their craft. By opening up this world to us commoners will keep it alive and introduce a new audience. I’m really enjoying this series.
What I love about this is that it’s not about what the featured items cost or being exclusive, it’s about fine craftsmanship for it’s own sake. I love that this series isn’t rushed, and the process and the craftspeople are front and center. The camera work is excellent, commentary and score are appropriate, informative, and not distracting. This is such a wonderful and well done series. Truly a benchmark for the chosen topics.
Love watching skilled sewing. My Mom made custom wedding gowns for people and sometimes the gown took longer to plan, design and make than the marriage lasted!!!
Kirby - you are becoming a superb documentarian. How significantly you’ve grown as a channel of excellence in the past months - from Texas Traditions to this series. We had a hint of your potential back in the day when you gave us an in-depth tour of John Lobb. Very impressed with this new look and style. Keep them coming!
Kirby, I may never wear any garments of the quality shown in your excellent videos. However, I feel that I am much better as a consumer from this information. I shop 2nd hand shops and with this information, I can pick the better quality items with the knowledge I have gained. I now respect more fully the well-dressed man. Thank you for these valuable insights.
Outstanding craftsmanship. Even in the making of a garment we see the very best of what it is to be British and the level of professional competence that marks our heritage brands. Rule Britannia.
Thank You, Mr Kirbe, to show to world about this so deeper traditional life's experience into deep of community which it isn't common to "normal" person. 🙏🙏🙏
That is one spectacular looking suit. Those punchy blues in the tweed really put this over the top. Somewhere, Nick Foulkes is raising his glass to you!
Hi Kirby! I just wanted to thank you for reigniting my interest in fine tailoring & craftsmanship which had dwindled since leaving a great design school in London.
as someone who has never worn or owned a suit, i find this series really amazing. i would argue that my hunting clothing is much more practical and functional, but what it does not have is soul and history like this suit.
i really learn a lot from your videos and they are so much fun, i can actually take away from what i learned and deploy it to my wardrobe when I go out, and or visit some of the places you mention and feel like I know what I will get.
Really amazing video series. Would love to see something similar with an Italian tailor such as Caraceni, and explore the difference in style and craftsmanship if any
Hi Kirby, I'm beguiled by the sound track to this series. To me, it invokes a cosmopolitan world adrift between the New York jazz age of the 1920s and Fellini's Italy of he 50s and 60s. Unsurprisingly with a sojourn in Paris somewhere there in the middle for good measure. Utterly perfect for the timeless NOW of what the series is trying to achieve.
Talk about detail…did you notice how the seamstress making the top collar has her engagement ring turned inward so no strings/material gets caught when she’s sowing.
Such a celebration of the skill of modern craft workers. Such a celebrations of the diversity that is modern London. Oh, and Kirby, please do let us know the final cost for the suit is even if you didn't pay for all of it. Little teasers like 'this stage involves around 80 hours work' by reasonably well paid craft persons gives us a hint of where this is all going, but the final figure is intriguing. My punt is 7,436 GBP. Shall we start a little pool on the outcome?
You will love to visit the „Alster Arcades“ in Hamburg when travelling to northern Germany. A lot of Heritage stores are located here. A tour would be much appreciated.
Are you not enjoying your free entertainment? By all means, if you feel you can do it better, open your wallet and start your own channel. Let's see how that turns out for you?
Thank you for the fantastic content. Any chance you would be able to make a recommendation for a car service that meets your standards and philosophy for airport transfer in London?
Shooting suit, . . . ok. Kirby, we need to get you out hunting for live game. Buck season starts in the fall. I want to watch Kirby, in a cammo hunting suit, . . bespoke of course, in a tree strand and with Doe urine on him to help mask his scent. Now that, is and episode I, along with the other subscribers want to see. Time to do an out of the box episode Kirby.
I anticipate wearing it quite often during the winter as either an an odd jacket or a tweed suit. I certainly won’t use the +fours that often, as I’m not shooting in the United Kingdom very frequently
Really a nice documentery, kerby keep searching for the finest artists in the world, I suggest you visit Gomila Intersole, Pakistan the finest bespoke shoe making company in Pakistan and share the world their work.

The production quality on these videos is starting to exceed that of most television shows.

Kirby’s Cosplay is almost complete! Great Series!
Thank You, Mr Kirbe, to show to world about this so deeper traditional life's experience into deep of community which it isn't common to "normal" person. 🙏🙏🙏
The precision and surety of masters of their profession. Lee Miller, Kent, Haste, Henry Poole, your absolutely taking your content to the next level.
The horizontal lines of the checks matching across the armholes and also at the pocket flaps just send me over the edge with happiness and bliss. 💚💙

I will never own a bespoke suit...probably never really have much need for any suit at this point in my life...but these videos are so addictive

I’ve watched every second of every video. Fascinating.
The art of tailoring. Beautiful !
Love the series. I absolutely adore the music choice.👍
Beautiful suit, glad to see it come together!
Kudos for the amount of shots/time dedicated to showing actual humble craftsmen at work, it is a great hommage to them!
Wow, I'm delighted from your work, true bespoke, I love it, omg you are very talented and skillfully made the suit.

Thankyou kirby I can say that this series and recent episodes are truly amazing 👏
This series is exceptional. Thank you, Kirby :)
As always, yet another wonderful episode. This series is really stunning. Can't wait until you go for proper guns for the shoot.
this bad boy must be 8k range. exceptional quality and detail
One of your best how-to videos. I always wonder exactly how my suits were made. Thanks!
best series yet Kirby
Thanks, AJ!
Maria is a genius: she eyeballed that collar's seam allowance.
I could watch this all day....
Kirby I checked my watch and it states it’s about that time for another Davidoff release? 🤞🏽 enjoying this series cant wait to see you shoot!
Talk about detail…did you notice how the seamstress making the top collar has her engagement ring turned inward so no strings/material gets caught when she’s sowing.
Ever video i watch i learn something new.
Alignment of pattern is also found in architecture: aligning joints across the building facades.
Such a celebration of the skill of modern craft workers. Such a celebrations of the diversity that is modern London.

Great video as always
Kirby turns up in his plus four's and everyone else will be in jeans and a t-shirt.
World best-Henry Poole
Fabulous series!
You will love to visit the „Alster Arcades“ in Hamburg when travelling to northern Germany. A lot of Heritage stores are located here. A tour would be much appreciated.
Looking good!
Puts a whole new meaning of measure twice cut once!
Excellent.
I'm sorry but can we just appreciate the editing at 3:27 managing to sync the music with the cutter's scissors perfectly?!
Lol. Not surprising. Our editing team is hyper detail oriented.
lol i dont think thats deliberate, great editors though
It was calculated and deliberate.
like the coat hanger spin @15:16
take a shot every time Kirby says hallmark
Are you not enjoying your free entertainment? By all means, if you feel you can do it better, open your wallet and start your own channel. Let's see how that turns out for you?
@@lsolus6613 easy there tiger. I quite enjoy it. I just think it would be a good drinking game.
I suspect you'd be drinking alone.
Can’t wait for the episode on your trip to the gunmaker
I remember my first Taylor made suit when I was 19 I felt powerful when I wore it haha
Was it a Taylor Swift? ;)
Thank you for the fantastic content. Any chance you would be able to make a recommendation for a car service that meets your standards and philosophy for airport transfer in London?
Very good.
So elegant. Love from turkey

Well producted and informative series, but what do you estimate the cost per wear? Fancy hanger-spinning at the end
Will you be sharing the costs of the outfit and guns needed at some point or are some of these being provided gratis as part of this series?
God bless you. If you are ever in Los Angeles, the dinner for you and your family on me
What sewing thread do they use? Is it silk? Also what's the heaviest wool suit you own 400gsm above?
If God did not deny him good hai,.Kirby would be a good looking man ..
How much do these suits cost?
👍👍
Meticulous and Elaborate, these two words seem appropriate
How many times do you project to use this outfit Kirby?
I anticipate wearing it quite often during the winter as either an an odd jacket or a tweed suit. I certainly won’t use the +fours that often, as I’m not shooting in the United Kingdom very frequently
@@kirbyallison What boots did you wear to go hunting?
@@Daniel-df7fz the boots he is wearing in the latter portion of the trailer on the hunt appear to be boots from James Purdey.
@@kirbyallison A really good move having a pair of trousers made for that very reason! An amazing series! I can't wait for the next episode!
Button holing by hand on the straps for the plus fours…….that’s what one pays the money for. So very erudite.
Just like 1930s Britain. Out of date from another time
tfw youre watching someone get an 8000 gbp suit fitted while youre sitting on the bed in your underwear with a kfc..
Can’t wait to go to London for my first time and commission a bespoke suit! 🪡👔👞✈️
That’s exciting! Who are you going to commission it with?
@@kirbyallison After all of your videos, I definitely will be choosing Kent & Haste.
Really a nice documentery, kerby keep searching for the finest artists in the world, I suggest you visit Gomila Intersole, Pakistan the finest bespoke shoe making company in Pakistan and share the world their work.
Excellent.
