Eric is by far my favorite guest that you have on your show! He seems like such a good dude!
Fully agreed! He seems like a down to earth guy who is an expert of his trade. Kind of grounds Kirby whenever he starts doing his thing :)) Great match
Eric is such an engaging chap with a passion for his craft that simply can’t be faked.
What a lovely chat between you guys. I really enjoyed your back and forth and look forward immensely, to Eric’s new creations, made with that amazing fabric.
Can’t wait for Allison and sons in the future. These cigar chats are always the best
It’s a joy to watch you both talk bespoke. Thanks for the video.
Kirby, I can't say how awesome these videos are.
I feel like you are way ahead of the times in leading the return to men dressing like gentlemen again and in a way to be taken seriously with an attention to aesthetics. Bravo!
Kirby thank you for the bespoke videos. I especially appreciate telling us where we can get find tailoring in America since it is local. Your suit is stunning
30:03: I have read a bit on that question and have found that a lot of Italian tailors love working English cloths. For some of them, it's a way to pay homage to British tailoring, which paved the way for their own cuts.
It's the soft water the wool is washed in. The alkaline is perfect. That can't be replicated. I rarely use Italian cloth.
I've really enjoyed the accomplished journey of your channel. I can't wait to see the commisions from the Savile Row tailors and I can't wait to see the addition of colour to the collection. Would you ever try a tommy nutter influence cut of suit? I'm so happy for your extractor that allows the enjoyment of cigar smoking without the wafting of smoke within the room. Its so strong that unfortunately, I can hear it like another guest in the room even with a lapel mic.
Just realised you're using the room also as a closet. Smoking room and a walk-in closet seems like a strange mix. Does your ventilation system do such a marvellous job that the fabrics do not soak in the smell?
Brilliant being able to visit the mill!
I'm curious what Eric thought of the tweeds that Nick and you checked out. Would he make suits from those amazing fabrics?
I suppose that is the beauty of bespoke tailors, you can give them a bolt of cloth and ask them to make you something with it.
Kirby you love London, but ever seen the cloth mills and arcades in Manchester, Liverpool etc? Will happily show you or advise places to visit in Manchester.
Not Londons Saville row but high end shops and lovely architecture. As there is less of them, the ones that are there are cornerstone
Kirby, I've noticed most of your content is centered around the UK providence but it seems like you are forgetting the home of bespoke: Naples italy (as they say La Sartoria Italiana) I personally think you owe us a documentation of Italian bespoke.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Absolutely. For example Antonios Panico and Pascariello, Gennaro Solito and Gigi Dalcuore are world class bespoke tailors for which it would be a shame to overlook.
The home of bespoke is London. It was where the suit was created. Where the first tailors worked in & around Savile Row. Italy has always like most countries had tailors but they emulated the British styles before diverging. British gentleman & aristocracy on the grand tour in the 19th century was the impetus for modern Italian tailoring. The local tailors would repair the clothes then copy them for the local clientèle. Over time they realised the heavier fabric & construction of the British wasn't suitable for the Italian climate.
@@sajid6027 You sound goofy as hell
@@jonathan175x unlike you I know the facts & history. I doubt you have one piece of bespoke anything in your wardrobe.
Excuse my ignorance, but what makes pleated trousers superior to non-pleated ones?
Just got your cigar cutter! Looking forward to using it
“I will invite you to join me”
That was so polite
just cut that cigar and dropped it straight onto the carpet!!! kirby clearly did it over the ashtray first poor manners
You should try the authentic Italian classic gentleman cigar, the Toscano! i personally think there almost as good as the best Cubans.
Funny you mention it, I was actually given one as a gift from someone I ran into *inside* the humidor at Davidoff of London! Haven’t smoked it yet.
Hello Kirby, my Wellington High Shine Cotton Chamois often fray and leave white residue embedded in my mirror shine. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Please does anyone know where Kirbys suit is from ?
Totally irrelevant. But I bought my first pair of wholecut oxfords, polished them up with my Saphir... and I think I'm addicted 😂👌 thanks to you
Brilliant! Congratulations!
Whats up under his tie? Is his shirt not buttoned up?
Another good video!
Im curious in hearing Erics opinion on Maestro Gaetano Aloisio
You need to return to Italy, my friend :)
100% do a 3 piece suit in that tweed if you’ve the fabric. It would be a great shooting suit cloth as well!
This is where you lose me. Why would you want to shoot birds or animals? I'm into bushcraft. I get the eating what you kill spiel. However, I know of shoots and they don't eat all the birds. Thousands are left to rot in barrels. I know this to be true, because I have sabbed the fuck out of hunts since the '90s and have witnessed the horrors.
A little research into shoots in the British Isles would show you why. Many native bird species wouldn’t exist without it. Also on average only about 30% of birds actually make it to shoots and the shoots fund game keepers so even those not ate matter very little. I even mostly just shoot clays but I appreciate what game keepers do and love game food.
@@stevenr7189 I've seen the barrels of rotting pheasants. There were thousands of them after a shoot, all fresh-ish. They could have taken them home, they probably did, but they killed so many. Thousands were left to decay. Yes, I hear the conservation argument all the time...and the threats to wipe out all animals if their so-called sport is banned. I'm never going to like it or the vile people that participate. truly human scum. They beat women with sticks for just protesting, let alone sabbing, and have the audacity to claim they're the victim.
@@TheHypernaught We're not all toffs in tweed that go shooting. Us filthy peasants go rough shooting, eat our kills and actually give a shit about conservation
Liszt enjoyed Rome, apparently. Berlioz hated it!
Kirby when will you be restocking Sovereign Grade Solid Coffee Brown Braces ?
We have them on order…
I’ve also try calling you customer service number and it always goes to voicemail no one ever picks up the phone sometimes I have questions that I want to talk to a person not on a live chat
Every time I see Eric I immediately click on the video
Nice suit you wearing Kirby, make?
I think Mr. Allison has a very rare and unique place amongst TH-cam content makers. I enjoy his content overall. That said there’s nothing gentlemanly about smoking, we all know that it is absolutely hazardous to your health. If getting lung and/or mouth cancer is gentlemanly then please count me out
Lol do you feel the same way about alcohol?
Agreed. 100%.
Patiently waiting for when somebody asks me "What kind of suit is that?" and I say "This is an Allison". Is that going to be something you ever do in the future? Open up your own tailoring house?
why not Johnathan behr?
His training program only took on 8 people, gave them no support whilst demanding maximum effort and then was surprised to find that three quarters of the entrants quit? I don't want to be rude but that sounds like a recipe for failure right there. There are countless old industries out there that have died because of attitudes to employment like this.
You can't sit around and wait for the perfect candidate to fall into your lap, you have to take ordinary people and mold them into those perfect candidates. The masters of the past didn't get into the industry because they were passionate about it, the industry made them passionate about it.
In a dying industry, you have to take all you can get. Stubbornness is all too often the cause of entire industries dying off.
Tailoring isn’t dying off at all, especially here in England
Damn Eric disrespected the office..he let the cut end fall right on the floor and didn't even pick it up
Hi Kirby, that cloth is stunning and will no doubt suit you. I can't seem to track it down, if I message you privately on Instagram, would you be willing to share with me what it is called/the product number? I'd be happy to pay for the info...
Do these tailors, who spend ages making the finest clothes, enjoy the cigar smoking, or just worry about odour staining?
good
Being a gentleman has nothing to do with the way one dresses, and our fathers in this country do still teach that. You live in Texas, don’t know about tortilla chips and hate on Americans….what’s the deal Kirby??
What's wrong with Jensen's upper lip?
Classic suits is best. I Hate new genarition
I really don't like the fact that you're trying to make an impression as if being a gentleman means having a 1000 USD shirt, BESPOKE this, BESPOKE that. Where is the soft skills content? Where is the "treat people with kindness"? This channel is promoting shallowness of guys thinking if they buy expensive shoes, an overpriced suit (honestly, Saville Row has so much competition in quality and price in Europe, it's just laughable how it's being worshipped), a big cigar, they can call themselves gentlemen. Bunch of BS this content.
@LG 8341 no, it just doesn't make you a gentleman.
Booking Rome now… followed with Florence. Disneyland?? Harsh, but it’s my Disneyland.
Visit Lucca. Best city in italy. Dont forget to visit the vinyards whilst you are there
@@leogosshawk I'm Italian from Italy.... Lucca the best city? Hardly so. Maybe the one you like the most. Also it depends on what you're looking for, is it arts and history? Than Rome can't be beaten. Is it sea? Than there are plenty of options. In general in Italy you can hardly go wrong: Rome, Naples, Bologna, Palermo, Lecce (my province of origin) etc. etc. all beautiful places
