It definitely will! My 2 pairs should be arriving soon. Thanks for teaching!
Hi Kirby. Really enjoy these videos and have been following The Hangar Project for a few months now. Having bought some cheaper shoes recently I have taken the plunge now and ordered a pair of Allen Edmonds. A pair of Carlyles in dark chilli are winging their way to Glasgow Scotland as we speak. I plan to use this method for their first shine. However, would you recommend a coat of dubbin prior to beginning this shine? Also what pigmented saphire creams would you recommend for polishing the dark chilli finish?
many thanks,
craig.
The Hanger Project ....I love you work sir. This reminds me of the time I used to spend polishing my shoes. I have a pair of AE coming soon, I will use this technique.
Kirby Allison tremendously helpful!
Kirby Allison I noticed that you are not applying the mirror wax/water carefully. Is it because you are concerned about time, or it is just you ? The unevenness is so noticeable on the left shoe, left side of the toe cap.
The most impressive thing of this video is Kirby does all of this without getting any pigment on his ungloved fingers, jacket, tie, or white shirt.
Same, I always have to use gloves. I just can't manage it.
Sure thing. It's impossible to me achieve this kind of professionalism
Didn't you notice the edits? He cleaned and changed his clothes about 16 times.
I find this extraordinarily arousing how this man is so profoundly caring about the finish of these shoes
LMAO Applause Applause!!
Ok well done!! You got me sit through a 30 min Saphir infomercial.
I’m a straight woman and I love shinning shoes, I remember as a girl going to school my sister and I would spend Sunday’s shinning our shoes for school the coming week, we had our kit with all our polishes and brushes and cloths and yes it is therapeutic .....
Just ordered the Hanger Project shoe shine kit for father's day, just in time to receive my Allen Edmonds shoes - also for Father's Day :-) Best Father's Day Ever! Can't Wait! I haven't felt this excited for Father's Day in a long, . . . wait, make that NEVER! Thanks Kirby :-)
Just love that dark brown leather. And as you say, shining your shoes is great therapy. Ad some Chet Baker or Miles Davis (and maybe a little something to drink) and life is not so bad after all.
Can I add a scotch and fine cigar to that.
In the navy, shining my shoes were therapy. I wish I had some wax you are using.
Kirby, I just bought some AE Leiden wingtips in walnut and followed your advice that a new pair of AE need some polish. So I ordered saphir renovateur, saphir light brown creme polish, a horse hair brush, and cotton chamois from you...oh my word, the result is amazing! Thank you so much for all your videos. I followed this video step by step, excluding the wax polish and I'll be doing this routine for all my AEs!
For a guy who mostly buys his (I now realize) crappy casual shoes at Costco, I am addicted to these shoe videos, especially Kirby Allison’s!
From reconciling financials to v-lookups, pivot tables, and creating data visualizations; taking little breaks during the workday to study Kirby's leather care methods really helps me prepare for using my new Saphir products on my AE collection! Thanks, Kirby :)
you sound like a deuschebag
Hypnotised? I know this feeling so well, Mr. Allison. To me it is a form of meditation. A particular state of mind.
Brunon Bierżeniuk Meditation... certainly a better word!
I love this channel. If only all men could appreciate the greatness of dressing well.
I couldn't agree more... most men are intimidated by dressing well because they think it is difficult. Other menswear channels geek out about this and that. But the reality is that if you invest in high-quality, classic clothing, there are few combinations you pick that wouldn't look great.
A shoe shinning master class, with no mess. Your knowledge and techniques are comprehensive, bravo sir
Kirby, I love how you became mesmerized as you were polishing up the caps. I've been there myself. Shining my shoes is always a zen moment for me. I think back to how my Dad taught me how to shine my shoes, to shave, to be a good husband, father and gentleman. Thanks, Kirby. Wonderful work.
I find shining my shoes relaxing and Kirby says watching them Lite up.
I am a new Allen Edmonds shoe owner, and I can say after discovering this high quality shoe and wearing them, it definitely makes one feel regal. Thank you for your video on how to make a great shoe even greater. I have subscribed to your channel
Allen Edmonds are great for the money, but wait until you get a shoe like Edward green!
AE's are great for the money only on sale - the quality/price ratio is seriously beneath other brands in the $300 range, such as Meermin's Linea Maestro
Thanks for this video. I’m getting my first quality pair of shoes from Crockett and Jones in a couple of weeks. The way you explain what the different polishes and stages of the process achieve, makes it very easy to learn from
Just picked up my first pair of AE's. Bartlett's. Looking forward to conditioning and polishing them. Kirby's got a nice way of talking.
I work at a bootbarn and mostly wear boots, but I am considered our stores boot and boot cleaning expert. So thanks very much for new knowledge on shoe shining and helping me take my work to the next step
Watching this video again, as my new pair of Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues just arrived in the mail. Great to follow along as I nourish, polish and wax them. Cannot thank you enough for your videos and for packaging all the products I need along with a great cedar shoe shine box!
Just bought my first pair of Allen Edmonds. Great video by Kirby explaining the need to prep my new shoes prior to wearing them for the first time and the step-by-step instructions. I never knew that new shoes straight out of the box didn't have any polish on them. I will be buying some of the Saphir products Kirby recommends from the Hanger Project. From what I've read and researched Saphir products are the gold standard.
Don't forget about your Sovereign Grade shoe laces! ;) Thanks for the comment.
The idea of 'building' up your own shoe is both meaningful and beautiful. Great tutorial 👌🏼
This video was awesome. My Allen Edmunds came in the mail today and this was a great guide in how to properly shine them. Thanks!
This is THE BEST guide to correctly take care of your shoes! Thank you.
When I was in the army we would always have to look very smart, especially for parades, and we would take great trouble spit-shining our boots for glassy toe-caps.
Same here ...british R.A.F 1948
A superb video. Thank you Kirby for the great advice!
I really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!!! Thanks
I recently bought a pair of AE park avenues and stumbled across this channel looking for tips to keep them pristine. BY the end of the video I had purchased the starter kit from your website. Bravo, you show such an attention to detail I was blown away. I look forward to watching the rest of your content!
Great! Post some pictures of your shoes on Instagram and tag us!
Love your videos Kirby. I thought my new shoes looked good out of the box, but they look amazing now. Thanks!
Jonel Ortiz Music to my ears! Make sure you subscribe!! 🙏💯
amazing - youtube is a source of almost all the knowledge about each every mundane job with a lot of depth and detail...
Haha. You cracked me up with that obsessive shinning you had gotten yourself into.
That Saphir Renovateur is great! One of the best shoe care products out there!
Kirby, that tie knot is fantastic.
Wow you help me a lot to understand the polish process, mirror gloss. Plus thanks for having the process listed
I just love how you dress properly for this job.
Excellent technique Sir, what a great finish on the shoe. Thank you.
Great video. Thanks for demonstrating the 'shoe shine process.
You are amazing and I am a big fan please keep the videos coming as this is one of the best videos I have seen.
My previous question ended up being a video. Good thorough video.
Thank you for your question!
Kirby, this is definitely the best tutorial I have ever seen. Perhaps you should introduce how to take care of museum calf leather shoe in the next video?!
I love the detail and attention you put into everything. I've discovered I've been polishing my shoes only halfway my whole life. Thanks for your inspiring passion!
Same here. I just thought i knew high shine.
AWESOME THANK YOU..GREAT VIDEO'S....HUGE FAN !!!!
So classy ! Thank you
I must be crazy watching your video at 3:30 in the morning!
It was a treat, thank you. Excellent job.
Wow, Blinding shine!!! Way to go Kirby...You tell EM....
Your awesome Kirby, I've just found your channel and love the great shoe tips and peak couture wardrobe tips as well. Kind regards Ben from NZ
Thank you Sir. Very useful advice.
I love how much care and condition you have for this stuff. Your joy really shows in the video, and it’s so wholesome to watch. Also JSYK, your Hangar Project brush was listed by Wirecutter as their top recommendation :)
I knew this Vid will have a lot of response.. great vid as always Kirby
Great job. Love how you're wearing a suit while shining shoes.
Excellent video. Thank you.
This is nuts polishing shoes at 3:00 in the morning watching a shoe polishing video and actually using Saphir products that I purchased from Kirby Allison
Thanks for the lifesaving tips!
Thank you , really interesting , a very good guidance to maintain in good condition a Allen Edmond shoes
These shoes look so beautiful I wish I could have one like these
It is not enough to buy shoes, they still need to be put in a fighting position. Many people forget about it. In this video, Kirby, the feeling that after a night in the pub :D
Very informative. Thanks!
Fantastic video. I love it.
Great video, very informative.
Great video. Super informative. I will stop in the next time I am coming through Dallas. Hope to see you then.
Greetings from nr Liverpool England, I’ve been binge watching your TH-cam videos over the last 48hrs Kirby there excellent 👌, I’ve even bought all the shoeshine products except hangerprojects brushes etc and I’ve been polishing my Grenson Chelsea Boots ( Burgundy Leather ) whilst watching this TH-cam video. 10/10 for the video my friend.
Wait... what’s the name of the shoe polish again ?
Saphir is the brand, it's sold on The Hanger Project's website.
Edit: I just r/woooosh-ed myself
take a shot everytime he say's saphir
@@yusufahmed8980 haha i was about to say /r woooosh
Garbage advertising channel.. thumb down n report
@@maxfactor4209 Please tell me you're making a joke. For the love of God, please...
Kirby because of you I god brand new Allen Edmonds McCalister, is allready conditioner and polished! No to mention cost me $400 but shoes are beautiful!
Kirby, you've got better and better with your videos, and I love it. Keep up te great work.
Thank you! We are working hard to continue to elevate the quality of our videos!
It's working. 👍🏻
Best video of all time!
YOUR JOB AND YOUR VIDEOS AND POSTS ARE AMAZING AND VERY USEFUL . THANKS
Thank you very much Mr. Allison,So very happy to be a new subscriber!!
You are helping to make a gentleman. Sincerely, Cory
Welcome aboard!
During my time in the United States, Coast Guard honor guard, I spent a total of six hours on my boots. Do you have a perfect mirror shine. And I must say, I did not go unnoticed.
Excellent! This is the best video I have seen so far. I’ve gone from giving up on using cloths to using cotton wool balls back to cloths be used of this video. I’m really struggling to get the grain to vanish from my boots however. I have put about 5 “thick” coats on so far but it’s really stubborn on the top of the toe cap. Any tips? Thanks.
Great video. Recently purchased two pairs of AE wingtips. I Am now going to polish them. There is a noticeable upgrade in appearance after polishing.
You'll love the difference!
Great video
21:35 you were being mesmerized by your shoe shining process... one can do this while having insomnia
Kirby looks very tired - bags under the eyes in this video.
great vid
I have, also, seen your wonderful bespoke suits.
I'm still in wonder on how you polish shoes wearing the wonderful garments! 😮
This is a great video and education. Much appreciated. I just received my new pair of Park Avenue Shell Cordovan Cap-Toe Oxford. Is the process on cordovan the same except for using Saphir cordovan creme polish.
This was the best shoe romance I've ever seen!
Truly a labour of love!
Subbed. Liked. Will follow these instructions for my new black leather shoes.
I was never able to get my military boots to that superior mirror shine when I was a cadet, but I'll try this method and see how it turns out. The Saphir products look to be superior to others. I'l look for it.
Great video and attention to detail.
Hi Kirby, thanks for the video. Could you please post something about how you maintain your shoe care after a full polish? e.g. what to do weekly or bi weekly. Cheers
Mr. Allison, thank you for the informational videos ... extremely helpful. I just purchased a new pair of AE Fifth Avenues in Dark Chili. I would like your recommendations in a couple of areas. What about mirror shine on the toe cap? Should I condition the soles before I wear them? And what about the heels and edging? I'm also curious about your thoughts on heel and toe guards. Thanks again for this valuable resource.
I can't believe I watched this, I'm going to start therapy in the morning.
I enjoy all of Kirby’s videos. Can he record a video of himself changing his own motor oil in a nice bespoke suit and his newly polished shoes 😊
I use a slightly different polishing method, but I love your videos on the subject. Polishing one's shoes is undeniably a meditative, enjoyable activity. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but the results speak for themselves.
On an unrelated note: Consider shirt collars with a less extreme spread when you wear jackets like that. It's a detail most will miss, but I think it looks better when the angle of the collar runs parallel to the angle of the seam of the lapel.
Thanks! I about to start experimenting with some different spreads. I have a close friend that is really pushing me for a more narrow collar.
The Hanger Project Your friend is a wise man. It always looks more harmonious and elegant when the collar spread aligns with the angle of the lapel notch.
First of all, I greatly appreciate your videos. Any recommendations for polishing the brown Strandmok cap-toe oxford? Whenever I try and apply polish it darkens the lighter colored edges of the leather and the threads
Should i use 2 different brush for polishing and dusting? Thk u, great video
Thanks for the video! Would the procedure and order of products be the same on 2nd, 3rd...polishes?
And how long between polishes for shoes worn moderately mostly indoor?
Another great video, Kirby! I've learned so much from you in the past two months. Just wondering what's your opinion on adding topy to leather soles? There are extensive rains in my city and I walk quite a lot during the day.
Absolutely a great idea if you are walking extensively in the rain. Even a half-rubber sole. You can still add this to a nice, fully-welted shoe. Some people actually have dress shoes and boots with dainite rubber soles specifically to wear in snow and rain.
I agree, masterclass thanks!
Nice music and level, even tough I could probably be without it.
Will a toecap model hold the mirrorshine better than a wholecut model?
I like the shoelaces thet actually stands up but even not my master cobler have them in one colour.
A very helpful video! Would you recommend putting in a shoe tree while polishing shoes?
Hi Kirby. Really enjoy these videos and have been following The Hangar Project for a few months now. Having bought some cheaper shoes recently I have taken the plunge now and ordered a pair of Allen Edmonds. A pair of Carlyles in dark chilli are winging their way to Glasgow Scotland as we speak. I plan to use this method for their first shine. However, would you recommend a coat of dubbin prior to beginning this shine? Also what pigmented saphire creams would you recommend for polishing the dark chilli finish?
many thanks,
craig.
Kirby...The Shoe Master! 🥰
Same question with a pair of the Chili color to include the heel dressing. Thank you.
Italian santoni has a super polish out of the box
Thank You. I never realized that they arrive unpolished. Anything special for a woven shoe?
You completely changed it. That shine you start getting after 22:00 is incredible. It's also contagious how much you're enjoying yourself. Cheers.
Can I use a colored cream polish and then finish with the neutral wax polish so that I can use it on brown and black?
I just bought a pair of their Daltons. How do you recommend polishing the wingtip toe cap? Do you do these high gloss also? Do you follow the wingtip seam up the side of the shoe?
My uncle taught me how to “spit shine” my shoes when I was a kid. He learned it as a U.S. Army MP back in the early 1960’s
Thanks for this video. I just bought an Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue color Coffee what do you suggest for the saphir cream and wax colors? Again very much obliged and God bless
Hi Kirby, I was rewatching some of your videos. While I was stocking up on some more Saphir shoe care products, I noticed a Beauts De Cuir Cream and Wax polishes but Saphir. Can you explain more about these products?
How do they differ from the Medaille d’Or items? Is there a different use for these?
Can confirm, I once spent 2 hours on a lazy evening shining some AE oxfords after they got a bit of a beating from New York weather
thank you kirby
