I am currently on a weight loss journey and have always said that my ‘well done’ when I’m happy is to commission some bespoke shirts. Great motivation to keep in shape, if you ask me!
I've been excited about this one. Over the course of the last month I've gone deep and learned how to make shirts myself, I've made myself a very nice fitting dress shirt. The fit was harder to nail but sewing wise it was much easier than trousers. Am excited to see what nuggets of wisdom are to be found in this Budd video series
Interesting to hear, because I made my first shirt before trousers, and I thought trousers were easier. Maybe it’s just because you learn so much in the beginning.
@@rikardplatzer4220 I find the sewing part of trousers to be very difficult. The welt pockets the zipper+fly in particular. With shirts the only comparable part is the sleeve gauntlet, but it's basically just a less complicated welt pocket. But the fit part of trousers, I found to be much easier, it more or less just has to fit perfectly around the waist and butt, the rest just hangs relatively loose. With a shirt, it must fit perfectly around the shoulders and neck, which is a pretty dynamic area with everything effecting everything else. Great learning experiences though!
i love these videos, so wholesome and just relaxing too watch. refreshing content , so tired of the shock and awe and the juvenality that pervades social media.
You Sir patronise many institutions of London. It must be amazing to walk into an establishment, meet someone for the first time and know more about the institution than those who work there.
I've been loving this shooting series. Mr. Allison, I would love to see you do a series on some of the historical clothes worn by working-class people like 1920's "Golden Age" of motorcycle clothing when it was still very much inspired by equestrian wear or clothing worn by early recreational aviators. And I love logging boots and forestry wear from 100 years ago, I know there are still logging boot companies like White's Boots in Spokane, Washington that have been making boots since 1853, I'd love to see a fitting and the process of making a nice pair of boots from them. I'd love to know all about the best makers of gear, equipment, and clothing worn by people like myself who work in the trades before the fast fashion brands like Carhartt took over. Thanks for reading this and considering my suggestion. Whatever you post in the future I'll be watching, this is one of the best channels I've discovered on TH-cam in a long time.
Great video as always Kirby, Budd is the company I use for my shirts and go to their shop often. I have not got a bespoke one from them yet ,but maybe one day :-)
Welcome to the club Kirby - FINALLY! You’ll love that sky blue Budd stripe shirt. That pattern has been my favourite Budd dressing gown for over 12 years.
@Kirby Allison Could you please do a how to iron shirts video with Budd or Wil Whiting? A proper shirt maker showing his technique is missing on TH-cam. And I miss your how-to videos from back in the day!
Fabulous video, keep up the good work Kirby! Not sure if you would be interested in this or not, but an interesting idea came to me the other day. Whenever you're in London again or maybe even Scotland, it would be interesting to see a video on bespoke kilt making. I've always been fascinated with Scottish highland dress as a whole, I have seen and read wonderful articles and videos on very skilled kilt makers and the wonderful tartan fabrics they use.
Great production values, Kirby. It’s like stepping back into a cosy, bygone era. I would love to be able to commission bespoke shirts and a bespoke suit from the master craftsmen and craftswomen around Piccadilly, but it’s way out of reach.
Hey Kirby, thanks for showing me a nice experience. I bought my first cigar sampler kit and boy oh boy. I LOVE L O V E the smoking event. Everything about it is just amazing. Such flavor. Such relaxation. Oh it's truly a pleasure. Thank you so much for enlightening me with this lushous pass time hobby 💫✨️
Budd's accessories are a little bit rich but so classy. I'm planning to invest in a madder scarf this year. If I ever have a chance to make it out to England I am 100% getting a bespoke shirt made by them. Good acquisition Kirby.
I dont know what changed with the most recent series but the audio, background music and overall production really moved to a new level. There has to have been some new hires behind the scenes, or at least a new budget.
hello for a very long time I have been interested in traditional men's fashion and I have been researching this subject. I wonder if there are one or more books explaining the rules to follow by men in matters of clothing, such as, for example, the rules to follow for wearing a white tie. Maybe not to apply them, but because they don't come from nowhere, but because they often have a very practical origin, and I like to think about how they were created. I found documentation on the rules of good manners in good society, but very little on the rules of men's clothing. Does anyone have any references? Thank you so much.
Look up the book dress for success. There might be some around. I think it was written in like 1989 or something like that. So dress for success. It's outdated but most everything is and remember high fashion is not always in good taste but good taste sure as heck never goes out of fashion.😅
Hey, will you do a video on Hilditch Key? They have a shop in Jermyn Street, their shirts retails for £180 for the ready to wear line, going upwards from that price point. They've got collaborations with Loro Piana and I believe Drakes too and other other expensive cufflinks manufacturers. Only curious because I got a steal on their Hilditch Key shirts, paid something like £30 quid for their Sea Island Cotton shirts brand new.
Budd is completely first class. Luckily I’m a perfect ready to wear fit customer. I first used Budd after seeing an article about the actor Terence Stamp many years ago; always beautifully suited by Savile Row and shod by George Cleverley…….rather like Kirby in fact.
1:42 Respectively, I disagree with your statement, Every culture and nation has their own style and is subjective to the person. While the Brits dress well, I would not say the "most". None the less, your videos are very good and informative, Kirby, Best.
I noticed that the gentleman measuring you has his shirt untucked. Is that his personal preference or does Budd make shirts similar to the “Untuckd” brand that are made to be worn untucked?
Did I hear him say 32 in? I had kind of assumed they measured everything in centimeters or millimeters. Is that an industry standard to use imperial measurements?
This is a strange country when it comes to measurements, road signs are in miles, football pitches are still 100 yards and I buy trousers looking at the inch measurement on the hanger. But if I do any DIY I work in millimetres and centimetres 😂
@@andrewjohnston4127 It’s a product of going decimal in 1971 and our previous membership of the EU. But oldies like me always preferred imperial for clothes and distance. Both sets of measurements are now used fairly interchangeably, but with youngsters preferring decimal.
@@andrewjohnston4127 don’t forget, we buy our fuel in litres, but measure economy in miles per gallon, we measure people in stones and pounds, but everything else in grams and kilos
Hi Kirby, love your videos. I’m currently on my sartorial journey and I recently purchased shirt stays. I love the look, but they’re uncomfortable. Do you have any tips? What do you use? And does a bespoke shirt just stay tucked better. All the best
A bit off topic, but when I saw your braces I wondered if you have trouble at the airport going through the metal detector. There are metal parts on the braces?
This is incredible. Your videos enlighten the world to the importance of style and dress. Quick question....how does you explain to the Mrs. All the new stuff? And.how does she not kill you? Haha. All the best Kirby. Wonderful videos
@@graemeconnelly8849 They last for years and years. I’m still looking good in some bespoke Budd shirts in Swiss cotton I bought over ten years ago. They improve with every wash too and feel fantastic. Yes, it’s an expensive investment, but works out cheaper in the long run.
I'm very new to this channel but, my god, I want to be Kirby so badly. The American accent, the mannerisms, the clothing, the confidence. Have you always been like this all your life? Or did you have to adjust and change?
I just came to this video recommended after an Indigo Traveller video about live in Haiti. How the fuck this planet can produce two such diametrically opposed qualities of life is utterly beyond me. These guys getting fancy suits and fancy cigars and talking slowly thinking they're somehow above and beyond the rest of the struggling human race is baffling.

did you try Maurice Sedwell? It's also a bespoke Tailor with an ASMR style of talking.
@@sesamring7065 appreciate the suggestion, will definitely check it out thanks
Same here😊

I got my first Budd shirt earlier this year for a wedding. Exceptional quality even though I didn't go bespoke
How much did it cost ?.
@@man_down511 I think it was £120. Plain white with the signature Budd collar & double cuffs.
Damnnnn Kirby, back at it again with them bespoke shirtsss

Nice to see this dude loosen up a bit with Kirby
I was about to mention the folded arms = defensive. 🤷♂️
It is working, figuring, striving to get to the point where you can experience these things. Perhaps the hardest part.
Kirby always grinding gentleman style
One of the few still doing, mad respect
he exposes good stuff all the time but his way of dressing/style is a no no to me
I saw him the other day in London. He didn't let me through the door and instead barged me into the wall
@@derekporter66 you probably asked for it ? 😁
@@kanker5256 no. He saw me as inferior.
Best channel on TH-cam.

is a wonderful tradition
It would be interesting to see a special in-depth discussion on monograms.

I dont know what changed with the most recent series but the audio, background music and overall production really moved to a new level. There has to have been some new hires behind the scenes, or at least a new budget.
The audio gate is cutting in too quickly, it makes the speech sound very weird at times.
"yeah, you see it". Hah, well stated!
It has been an honour to work at that store
I'm never going to afford the sort of stuff Kirby gets but damn this is fantastic ASMR
He gets all this stuff for free in exchange for the advertising on his TH-cam channel.
@@sitbone3 where is your proof of this? I highly doubt a lot of this it totally free.
@@TheGameCamer360 ..because you “highly doubt” something, that doesn’t make it invalid.
@@sitbone3 I employ a level of unbiased doubt. Your just spout rubbish with no factual backing.

Keep up the great work brother.
You know, by now , through watching his videos, I know half of London🇬🇧

love your tie in this video Kirby - is it an ancient madder?
You are lucky Kirby …visiting , experiencing the Real Deal…the legendary Bespoke tailoring..
At 1:10 you can hear that Kirby has bells built into his suit sleeve to protect him from bears.
15:30 He could also use the Perkins shoulder device...😅
Sir Your Dormueil Sartoria Gallo Suit Which People Were Criticizing Is Looking Class Apart

Hello Kirby, could you be so kind and tell us what beautiful song that is that you use in the beginning of the video? And always a really nice video!
Great videos but you need to let people talk.
he never does
Dude talks way too much. Just let the tailor do their job.
*Out-of-touch eccentric does out-of-touch thing*
OP: 😮
It seemed like a balanced back-and-forth to me. Maybe you should be less of a comment section guy?
Very good
Amazing
Interesting that the Fitter chooses to wear his own shirt untucked! Ps are the off the shelf shirts still Made in UK?
Made in the same factory as the bespoke shirts.
Did I get the price right ? 345£ ?

Well done good job good dress or gun to short dress
Why not take the tie off?

Which suit is Kirby wearing here?
Are you aware that a belgian TV program called diw have used one of your videos , its hilarious it's also on yt btw
How much is that American, can I send them my husband size

It would be great if Kirby featured some American artisans, we can’t all write off London trips as a business expense 😕

I would prefer you let them explain their process and philosophy to their craft.
