As a guy who lives in a city, your definition of "small" for a closet is intriguing to me. Any closet that you can actually go into is *massive* for where I live.
this is a really large closet for the area. I have lived in several apartments, town homes, and houses throughout Texas and have never had a closet this big. But man, i already thinking about how to redesign my house to build something like this
While not opulent like the ones you showed pictures of it's well organized, neat, and tidy. Looks like its built exactly for your needs. Thanks for sharing it and it's ideas!
Thank you for welcoming into your home and showing us your closet. I really like this video since it gives the viewer a new perspective on how to organize our wardrobe without spending a fortune. All it takes are a few dollars and a lot of thinking and space utilization planning, as you so well demonstrate. Watching your videos is not only very informative, practical, and educational but a pleasant experience and a real joy.
Thinking and planning the most important component. Same guy could have installed a closet that was worse than the original. I took notes for several weeks thinking about how I interacted with my closet to ultimately determine this design. I even measured to ensure that I could double-stack shoe boxes on the top shelf.
You are a huge inspiration of what I strive to be as a up coming gentleman. Slowly my closet is changing to more dressy clothing. After years I finally found my true style and it's more formal and business casual. Due to the fact that I'm losing weight it just makes me more excited because clothing is looking more sleek on me. Keep up the great work Mr.Allison!!!
You rock Kirby. Thanks for making it point to slow down and appreciate the things we already have, be it our wardrobes, or whatever else we are passionate about. It is a wonderful thing to stop and appreciate.
Thank you for this wonderful tour. I recently discovered you and the Hanger Project. I’m almost 56 and just now trying to define my style. You Sir are an inspiration.
I just remind myself when I look at all the stuff I have collected.... "you can't take it with you", and "it's all gonna burn." It really keeps me balanced.
This is so cool. I don't even have dressers in my room. All my clothes are in my closet. Shirts and jeans for example are all in plain view and it is pleasant to the eye to see all the colors. Shoes at the bottom. Ties on a carousel rack. Very cool closet!
Oh man this is amazing! We just went from a super tiny condo to an old charming home built in 1912! So much character and charm and space for me to setup an office and record videos and write easier! There are a small walk-in and linen size closet in our room currently, but there is enough room from previous owners closing in the balcony to make huge on-suite bathroom that I think my wife will get the walk-in and I'll get the linen closet that I may fit just for shoes it trousers and then build a larger walk-in for the rest! Great video!!
Kirby, thank you so much for a wonderful insight into how you keep your clothing and dressing products, fantastic. This has given me some great ideas for our retirement home. At the moment I have 3 wardrobes in different rooms and shoes on top of one another. I am trying to find a good bedroom storage builder in the UK. I have found one at last to give me a design similar to yours. So thank you very much indeed.
Impressive closet. The thing that impressed me most is the fact u have thread and needles in ur dresser and u can stitch up minor things such as nicks on socks and u can sew up ur shirt buttons urself. This goes to show how passionate and organised u are as a person. I like the photo of u wth ur mother. Ur parents have done a wonderful job. I am sure u make them proud! I wud like to see a necktie collection and a cufflinks collection. Thank u.
Kirby adding a closet upgrade adds to the resale of your home, something i was told when we had our walk-in closets upgrades, I love the Felix Unger organization,
Hmm, brilliant use of not-a-lot-of-space. I'm in a 1950 suburban colonial that was originally 1400sf, and the closets are tiny. Previous owner did make the MBR closet into one that is my wife's then a smaller one that is mine with shelves. But you gave me some ideas to improve storage. Never thought to go seasonal.
This video inspired me to redo my family room and master closets. I used a wire shelving system from the local big box store. The experience lead me to wonder if KAHP could do more “real” clothes and accessory storage content for those of us who need to temper our per square foot expectations but still want to store our items well.
Nice! Great to see a well organized closet! I have a similar layout closet but with way too many shoes and boots. The storage stool is a brilliant idea and one that I'll be adding to my closet. I share the closet with my wife but I have many more clothing items and footwear than she does.... if only I could get her to move her stuff to a guest room closet! haha Love the idea of placing pictures on outside of boxes for easy identification also, time to pony up for a handy Polaroid printer! Thanks for the tips and tour!
topic request: explain your daily routine in terms of shoe care and clothes care. I got the idea after your video about collar stays... so many things I do not know!! thanks for your videos!
First Mr. Allison let me say thanks for indeed a wonderful tour of your well organized closet I greatly appreciate all the helpful suggestions on how to maximize closet space excellent video
Thank you Kirby for sharing your closet with us. I absolutely love how organized, detailed and deliberate it is! How do you store old items that are for sentimental value and that you do not necessarily wear? Also how do you keep tabs of what you wore when to give your closet more wear longevity and avoid wearing some items too frequently?
I think your presentation style is unique and delivery concise. Just keep it up. I plan to start a youtube channel for this market (Africa) and will reach out for tips.
The best addition to any of my closets was cedar flooring fixed on the ceiling. I've since moved and unfortunately don't have any pictures. But aside from the benefits of cedar, the aesthetics of wood ceiling was amazing. It was relatively inexpensive, so I'll probably be doing it again in the new place.
Such a great chanel, I hope to one day purchase from your website, wish you went into more details about your watches, but then again this isn't a watch channel, great work !
Very nice use of space! You've managed to squeeze more dollars' worth of suits, shirts, and shoes into that one modest sized walk-in closet than my entire home is worth! lol
Nice!! It's remarkable what you did with a small space. Heck my closet space is bigger yet you put me to shame :). Now I'm really motivated to get a closet system built. Thanks. Good video
Great video....thanks for sharing. Although you answered the question I had on what to do about dust, please can you tell me what you do about moths/insects that eat clothing?
Kirby, thank you for sharing your home with us . I will take these tips into consideration with my own closet . Also I have a questions that can use your expertise on . I bought a pair of Paul Evens Semi-Brogue Oxford , in age cognac . How do I polish a two tone color shoe without messing it up ? I feel this would be a great video for you too.
Wonderful closet. Perfectly organized. Very personal as any closet should. Do you use anything, spray etc. to prevent moths? I worked for someone who would spray their closet twice each month.
Hello sir. A friend of mine has a couple antique travel chests. Things are quite large and open up to reveal their small closets with hangers drawers even hat storage. Made of bull hide brass and redwood to with stand the rigors of 1930s travel. 4 feet tall 3 feet wide opened up they are stunning. Question.. do you and Mrs.Allison ever have style "conversations"?
That’s an amazing closet! A different kind of “Man Cave!” Another great video Kirby. I have 4 entries for the Shoe Shine Kit! I have invited others via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram! 🙏🤞Hoping 4 is enough!
Thank you Kirby, very nice setup! I'm an old soul, and I love the old days. I love the 30's & 40's style menswear and houses. You have a beautiful, old home! May I ask what state your house is in? I also like listening to the Old Time Radio shows, particularly, "The Shadow." Take care, and I look forward to more videos.
Thanks for sharing! Do you recommend a corby pants press for pressing pants before hanging in your closet? If not, what do you recommend guys should use to get a nice crease in trousers? Thanks!
So if you don't have an air filtration system, should you do your brushing of your clothes and shoes outside of the closet somewhere else in the house? Also, where do you air out your jackets, pants, and coats after you've worn them that day--or does the air filtration system take care of that with it just hanging back in its place? I always feel like things won't air out properly if I just hang it back on the rack, and so I have a hook in the center of my ceiling where I can hang things. I also note that I don't see anything hanging in garment bags to keep dust off them--again, the air filtration renders that unnecessary?
Your closet looks a lot like my dream closet. I do not want it too big as i love the enclosed space feeling. However I want it big enough for an armchair so I can read and relax in peace!
Very nice . I’m also in the Dallas area, please tell me who you used,for your closet system ? Also, the picture of you and your mother, would look great, in the living room . Best wishes .
You are doing the right thing by folding your knitwear as you should never hang them as it stretches the fibres.Also do I spot a vintage Burberrys mac or is it a Grenfell or Chrysalis mac.
Lighter-weight knitwear could be hung on our Sweater & Polo Hanger if you really wanted, but, yes, knitwear, especially heavy knitwear, is best folded. I think you might be seeing a vintage Christian Dior overcoat from my grandfather.
Kirby, I love all your videos and have learned so much! Is there a reason why you don’t use a shoe valet? Also, how do you store your main collection of brushes and polish’s? Thanks!
I have same same size walk in closet in my house. I would like to order - buy the same closet kit (s) that you ordered. If you don't mind, what companies did you use? Do you have a list of parts you ordered so I could just copy it. thank you Kirby - very nice work, by the way.
That closet is the size of my garage (with better utilities) and it contains more clothes and definitely more shoes than I have ever owned in my entire life. It is a cathedral of self indulgence I am impressed, but worried at the same time.

Turk Blackwell WTH?? I thought everything was “big” in Texas!! 😂😂😂😂 I made a funny!!
Wife evicted him from the master bedroom closet into the guest room, so he turned the whole guest room into his closet.
I completely concur with your statement. I live in NYC and small is relative, very relative in this case.
Same here. My suits are stuffed in my tiny closet. I really ought to do something about that.
While not opulent like the ones you showed pictures of it's well organized, neat, and tidy. Looks like its built exactly for your needs. Thanks for sharing it and it's ideas!
We all wish we had an opulent closet, but I"m quite happy with what I was able to accomplish in what you can see is a tiny space!
The Hanger Project it is very well done taking everything into consideration.

My dream closet ....I just loved the way you organised everything in such a small place . Thank you for sharing , as always sharing is caring 😊
HIS KID HAS CHARVET SHIRTS!😳 that’s awesome
What a great looking closet. Well organized and something we can all try to emulate.
Thank you for this wonderful tour. I recently discovered you and the Hanger Project. I’m almost 56 and just now trying to define my style. You Sir are an inspiration.
Thanks, Martin! Never too late!
I just remind myself when I look at all the stuff I have collected.... "you can't take it with you", and "it's all gonna burn." It really keeps me balanced.
Jack Benny said you can take it with you. ;)
Kirby’s closet is more of a temple I love this so much.
This is so cool. I don't even have dressers in my room. All my clothes are in my closet. Shirts and jeans for example are all in plain view and it is pleasant to the eye to see all the colors. Shoes at the bottom. Ties on a carousel rack. Very cool closet!
what an enjoyable sneak peek into a private refuge. Well done Kirby.
Oh man this is amazing! We just went from a super tiny condo to an old charming home built in 1912! So much character and charm and space for me to setup an office and record videos and write easier!

Great video!!
Great to see a relatively small space organized so efficiently! got a few great ideas for our closets! thank you.
That's what I expected your home would look like; it looks great!
Thanks! It is modest, but we love it.
Kirby, thank you so much for a wonderful insight into how you keep your clothing and dressing products, fantastic.

At the moment I have 3 wardrobes in different rooms and shoes on top of one another. I am trying to find a good bedroom storage builder in the UK. I have found one at last to give me a design similar to yours. So thank you very much indeed.
Wow!
It was awesome to experience a personal perspective of your amazing collection.
I enjoyed it! 👏
My pleasure!
Kiby Allison is my new Mr. Rogers... So calm and happy about what he is doing.
What a wonderful closet I think I shall model my closet after yours i love it.Thanks for sharing it with us kirby.
Nice. Thanks for letting me into you home Mr. Allison.
Another brilliant video. Thank you for sharing.
Man, that is an inspiration. Right now I don't have a lot of stuff to wear, but you are aspirational to the max.
Simple and classy!
I specifically applaud your shirts. They are classy and beautiful.
Thank you!! Love my shirts...
Impressive closet. The thing that impressed me most is the fact u have thread and needles in ur dresser and u can stitch up minor things such as nicks on socks and u can sew up ur shirt buttons urself. This goes to show how passionate and organised u are as a person. I like the photo of u wth ur mother. Ur parents have done a wonderful job. I am sure u make them proud! I wud like to see a necktie collection and a cufflinks collection. Thank u.
Thanks,Canal! Great suggestion. I'll add those to my list!

Stylish man with classy closet! Loved it
“Can’t wait to be out of that phase” hahahaha
A really organized closet! Thanks for share and greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

The experience lead me to wonder if KAHP could do more “real” clothes and accessory storage content for those of us who need to temper our per square foot expectations but still want to store our items well.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Jim! Good luck with your wife. Be careful, seems like that one could backfire pretty severely! haha.
Very nice to see inside your home. Thank you for sharing!
Hello from Austin. Nice, well-organized closet without unnecessary frou-frou.
*"My wife evicted me out of the bedroom closet"* 😂
Yet you recovered in style.
This is one burden when Men get Married.
I would've sworn you'd have one of those $10k closets with tons of space. Great to see what you did with the space you did have. Great vid.
Thank you very much sir! I appreciate your experience and take on style for a gentlemen to the fullest
topic request: explain your daily routine in terms of shoe care and clothes care. I got the idea after your video about collar stays... so many things I do not know!! thanks for your videos!
I love your closet. Your clothes. Your style. Your look. And most of all, your shoes. Nice !!! - A guy in Montreal
Thanks! I still feel like it is an incredibly small wardrobe (although it may not appear like that).
First Mr. Allison let me say thanks for indeed a wonderful tour of your well organized closet I greatly appreciate all the helpful suggestions on how to maximize closet space excellent video
Thank you, Mr. Gadson!
Thank you Kirby for sharing your closet with us. I absolutely love how organized, detailed and deliberate it is! How do you store old items that are for sentimental value and that you do not necessarily wear? Also how do you keep tabs of what you wore when to give your closet more wear longevity and avoid wearing some items too frequently?
You show some very good ideas. I especially like the air circulator/dust remover. Thanks for posting. Man you have a lot of clothes!
Good organization but what I really want to know what do you wear if you need to run to a 7-11 or Walgreens ?
Thanks very much for this video and opening up your home to us. I found it authentic and practical.
Thanks, Michael! Anything you think you'll do differently?
I think your presentation style is unique and delivery concise. Just keep it up. I plan to start a youtube channel for this market (Africa) and will reach out for tips.
The best addition to any of my closets was cedar flooring fixed on the ceiling. I've since moved and unfortunately don't have any pictures. But aside from the benefits of cedar, the aesthetics of wood ceiling was amazing. It was relatively inexpensive, so I'll probably be doing it again in the new place.
In our next house, I'm definitely having the closet made out of cedar. Even if it is just the wall and ceiling.
I really really love this channel.
I agree...this is a most enjoyable channel!
awesome video.. love the light coming off the heel of your shoes.
A very honest tour. A definite family man.
Love the “Albert” chain. Would love to see what’s at the end of it!
Very nice, and practical closet!
Such a great chanel, I hope to one day purchase from your website, wish you went into more details about your watches, but then again this isn't a watch channel, great work !
Very nice use of space! You've managed to squeeze more dollars' worth of suits, shirts, and shoes into that one modest sized walk-in closet than my entire home is worth! lol
Nice!! It's remarkable what you did with a small space. Heck my closet space is bigger yet you put me to shame :). Now I'm really motivated to get a closet system built. Thanks. Good video
Thanks for the tour! Have you bought most of your Charvet shirts off-the-rack, MTM, or bespoke? Any recommendations?
Great video....thanks for sharing. Although you answered the question I had on what to do about dust, please can you tell me what you do about moths/insects that eat clothing?
Check out this video about care against moths etc: th-cam.com/video/13pVQ7WFxLw/w-d-xo.html
Great work Kirby!
Such a beautiful collection and closet . I'll have this one day ;)
Impressive room . Well organized
Thanks!
Hi. Nice honest video. Question, would you ever invest in a Corby Trouser Press?
Wow, fantastic video! I am very jealous of your beautiful wardrobe!
Thank you! It wasn't built overnight and is still smaller than I would like it to be!
I really enjoyed your video, especially your personal anecdotes
Love it. So practical.
Kirby, thank you for sharing your home with us . I will take these tips into consideration with my own closet .
Also I have a questions that can use your expertise on . I bought a pair of Paul Evens Semi-Brogue Oxford , in age cognac . How do I polish a two tone color shoe without messing it up ? I feel this would be a great video for you too.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing this special place of your home. It would be nice to see a video about your criteria for watch collecting.
Thanks! Yes! That is a video we are working on.
Great video Kirby!! Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful closet. Perfectly organized. Very personal as any closet should. Do you use anything, spray etc. to prevent moths? I worked for someone who would spray their closet twice each month.
I know just what you mean. I get such an “up” feeling when I’m going through my closet.
Well-organised wardrobe!
Hello sir.
A friend of mine has a couple antique travel chests.
Things are quite large and open up to reveal their small closets with hangers drawers even hat storage. Made of bull hide brass and redwood to with stand the rigors of 1930s travel. 4 feet tall 3 feet wide opened up they are stunning.
Question.. do you and Mrs.Allison ever have style "conversations"?
Kirby is the Mr. Rogers of fashion and etiquette.
I am really enjoying your work my friend. I wish you much success and will start supporting your company.
Thank you! We are having fun!
That’s an amazing closet! A different kind of “Man Cave!” Another great video Kirby. I have 4 entries for the Shoe Shine Kit! I have invited others via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram! 🙏🤞Hoping 4 is enough!
Thanks for entering!
Thank you for the video!
Thank you Kirby, very nice setup! I'm an old soul, and I love the old days. I love the 30's & 40's style menswear and houses. You have a beautiful, old home! May I ask what state your house is in? I also like listening to the Old Time Radio shows, particularly, "The Shadow."
Take care, and I look forward to more videos.
I live in Dallas, Texas. Sounds like we have many similar interests and would get along quite nicely!
The Hanger Project Yes Kirby, we certainly would! I forgot to mention, I LOVE the lighting on your decor, in the beginning of your video!
Thanks for sharing! Do you recommend a corby pants press for pressing pants before hanging in your closet? If not, what do you recommend guys should use to get a nice crease in trousers? Thanks!

great closet! perfect
I also have the same type of walk in closet. This was a great vid !
My last Job before the Navy required me to read, "Dress for Success" by John Malloy. Have you read it? Had to abide by it on our business trips.
Your closet looks a lot like my dream closet. I do not want it too big as i love the enclosed space feeling. However I want it big enough for an armchair so I can read and relax in peace!
Expensive wardrobe!
Very nice . I’m also in the Dallas area, please tell me who you used,for your closet system ? Also, the picture of you and your mother, would look great, in the living room . Best wishes .
That’s a nice realistic closet.
I really enjoyed that and found it inspirational even.
I AM IN LOVE !!!!!!
Thanks!
You are doing the right thing by folding your knitwear as you should never hang them as it stretches the fibres.Also do I spot a vintage Burberrys mac or is it a Grenfell or Chrysalis mac.

I think you might be seeing a vintage Christian Dior overcoat from my grandfather.
Watched twize, wish you succes so your closet will grow and moore videos will come.
I’d kill for this closet! I own a 1950’s ranch home and the closet is miniature. Maybe 1/4 this size
Great inspiration, thanks
Kirby,
I love all your videos and have learned so much! Is there a reason why you don’t use a shoe valet? Also, how do you store your main collection of brushes and polish’s? Thanks!
I have same same size walk in closet in my house. I would like to order - buy the same closet kit (s) that you ordered. If you don't mind, what companies did you use? Do you have a list of parts you ordered so I could just copy it. thank you Kirby - very nice work, by the way.
I need a closet like this!!
What brand is the tray that hold the collar stays? It looked great
A closet dehumidifier is a must for older homes.
Excellent! Where do you store your steamer/iron and belts?
That closet is the size of my garage (with better utilities) and it contains more clothes and definitely more shoes than I have ever owned in my entire life. It is a cathedral of self indulgence I am impressed, but worried at the same time.
We need a new closet tour, Kirby!
