I recently visited the shop and I was surprised on how small the space was. Your team did some great camera work as the filming makes that shop look so much larger than it is. Jean Rousseau have some amazing straps and am looking forward to getting some for my set of watches soon.
Custom straps are great. I have watches that I hadn’t worn much until new life was given by the addition of a custom strap! ( and quick release pins take the stress out of changing straps)
Congratulations and beautiful strap, Kirby! It compliments the watch so well! The gold stitching is a great touch as well! You're becoming more playful with colour! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Really amazing at exchanging thoughts. I have a Charlie watch and I decided to change the watch strap from brown to dark green, and all of this happened before I saw the video. How wonderful, even the choice of color was exactly the same. Thank you, Kirby.
Great looking watch strap. Kirby's jacket however was the star of the video. Great cloth and color. It was well paired with the shirt, tie and pocket square.
Beautiful craftsmanship and a timeless classic look. I expect to see you flash a glimpse of your new strap next time you're lighting up a cigar with the Sahakians.
Just picked up a custom strap from Jean Rousseau in New York. Not quite the bespoke experience, but I got pretty much exactly what I wanted (dark blue semi-gloss alligator) and a similar level of service. They do amazing work.
I was able to remotely order a custom strap for my Reverso from Casa Fagliano. So many choices and options to decide on during the process. It came out beautiful.
Beautiful! Thank you Kirby. Your channel is much more than just a “menswear consultation” channel. It’s a professional documentary channel! Truly one of a kind. Perhaps someone could tell me what music is being played in this video. I am an admirer of such style of music. Thank you!
Kirby a little tip. You can also consider having straps made with deployant clasps instead of tang buckles. Deployants preserve the strap for longer and you don't get those nasty creases on the hole you use
My very first "nice" watch I ever purchased I bought some quick release straps for. I was riding my motorcycle on the highway a couple weeks later and and went to look at my watch to find out that the quick release had in fact released while I was riding and my watch was somewhere on the highway. Didn't feel it fall of my wrist because of the vibrations of the motorcycle I guess. That's one reason why someone wouldn't wear a quick release strap. I only ride with nato straps now.
Oh Kirby, next time you're in Piccadilly Arcade, please drop by the Jeffery West shoe store and showcase some of the wildly 'Alternative' styles there. Hopefully Marc Jeffery or Guy West might be there. You'll personally be entertained, and so with your loyal State-side viewers. PS: I have over 8 pairs of shoes from this brand in the UK.
Sadly, Oxford has lost many of its traditional shops, except for a few that remain in the area immediately round the covered market. Like so many historic British cities, it has too many cheap looking Harry Potter-esq souvenir shops full of cheap tat. The colleges remain as beautiful as ever.
@russ9921 I dare say you're right, my friend. It's certainly not what it was, although as you say, sone shops do remain and there is some heritage left that hasnt been destroyed by marxism. Just start on the High Street and Broad Street and the interconnecting avenues.
Appreciate the video, however if anyone wants a Jean Rousseau strap really consider your options. There are tons of ateliers around the world that will do the same bespoke work for a 1/3 of the price.
In fact, a true "snobby" custom-made leather strap only comes with a single hole in the leather, which only & exactly fits the actual owner of that time piece !
I am totally blind. I have no vision whatsoever. But there are talking watches that are made for the blind, and the quality of the bands are atrocious. This is so cool because at least I would have a talking watch with a elegant band.
What this guy didn't do, and never does, is tell his viewers how much all these bespoke items cost. I suspect even he knows it would be quite embarrassing.

I love the combination of green and gold Kirby. Excellent choice 👍
Looks wonderful, It’s amazing how much the strap changes the aesthetic of the watch. Totally agree about the 3 holes allowing for summer/winter wear.
An episode from Kirby is like a fine wine late in the evening.
Good evening from Australia Mr.Allison...we love you here :)

You're becoming more playful with colour! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think you mean "complements".
@@lsolus6613 Yes. My apologies for the typo.
👍

Great video Kirby.Greeting from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
great background music btw, always loved Handel :)
Which handel piece is it?
Beautiful craftsmanship and a timeless classic look. I expect to see you flash a glimpse of your new strap next time you're lighting up a cigar with the Sahakians.
Looking great kirby 👏 great mach and beautiful watch

Bespoke straps finally getting some love on this channel, bravo!
Stunning strap!
Absolutely beautiful
Awesome strap choice. I got a similar sueded alligator one bespoke from Artisan Straps in australia
Kirby a little tip. You can also consider having straps made with deployant clasps instead of tang buckles. Deployants preserve the strap for longer and you don't get those nasty creases on the hole you use
And you also get the benefit of it being less comfortable.
It is certainly a beautiful strap.
Absolutely Splendid
Beautiful choice
Very nice watch straps.
I'd love to see this top of the line watch strap installed seriously on a sponge Bob digital watch.
What a fantastic strap ⌚
Kirby Allison reminds me of “ Mr Rogers” of Mr Roger’s Neighborhood 🤷♂️

He'd wet himself with the devil skulls
😂
Beautiful
Fantastic
Very nice watch strap! on a side note, kirby, would u agree that the shirt collar is a little bit bigger compared to your other shirts?
Love the watch content! More please :)
looks great! but we didn't get to see your logo on the other side!
I loved the music
Wow!
Love this suit, great fit!
You should visit Oxford, Kirby. Lots of additional layers of heritage for you to sample.

More Watch content is always welcome Kirby!
Hi Kirby.
What was the cost of the beautiful strap? BTW, hello from San Diego, CA
Appreciate the video, however if anyone wants a Jean Rousseau strap really consider your options. There are tons of ateliers around the world that will do the same bespoke work for a 1/3 of the price.
Good video
Where they able to put your logo on the back of the strap?
What is the piece of music that is being played in the background of this video?
In fact, a true "snobby" custom-made leather strap only comes with a single hole in the leather, which only & exactly fits the actual owner of that time piece !
I wouldn't recommend it, your wrist will subtly change size depending on the weather.
Yeah he doesn't wear a watch, clearly
What do you do in the summer then when without weight gain your wrist swells?
@@cavaliericoreyyou use another strap. Straps are disposable after one day of wear unless you’re a poor.
@@MrParadigm1981 I just throw the watch out
What color and finish alligator is that
Dude why is there Christmas music in der background haha
My bespoke watch strap comes from the famous Jeff Bezos, I even get free 2 day shipping 😅
How much
Could I have your life please, Kirby? Minus the wife and kids, of course 😆
Where's Audrey?
Put the buckle on before you put the strap on!
I am totally blind. I have no vision whatsoever. But there are talking watches that are made for the blind, and the quality of the bands are atrocious. This is so cool because at least I would have a talking watch with a elegant band.
Is bespoke toilet paper next?
Nice video as always
If it’s not tight, it’s not right
What this guy didn't do, and never does, is tell his viewers how much all these bespoke items cost. I suspect even he knows it would be quite embarrassing.
Bespoke is a fancy term for “I payed way way too much” 😂😂😂
Nope, bespoke means you did not choose what you were offered, but what you wished for.

This is ridiculous. Its a watch strap...
