    What i like about Kirby Allison is that he respects the process and tradition of shoe making. I am really happy that such kind of youtube channels are there for a small minority like me.

    It’s amazing, what is a ubiquitous design in the hands of Dominic turns into something that stands head and shoulders above other similar cap Oxfords without resorting to tricks which make the design look contrived (I know you like the brand but it’s this that turns me off Cleverly) this really does have the old school look to it. Oh, and love Dominic’s “teddy boy” style jacket

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I totally agree. This is why I start with a black captoe oxford. It is the gold standard of shoes. The design and classic... and really allows the shoemaker to showcase their design aesthetic. Cn't wait to see these!

  • @sirnobbylad
    @sirnobbylad 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In some of your videos, you mention wearing a stroller. When composing a stroller, can you simply wear a pair of trousers from a charcoal/grey suit, a vest from, say, a light grey suit, and a black jacket, or are there some regulations on where you acquire the pieces? In other words: can the outfit be made ad hoc from bits and pieces of a wardrobe or does the outfit have to be made with a stricter standard, like a suit (same fabric and such for all pieces)? Do the same rules apply to morning dress?

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question. Yes - the stroller can absolutely be put together "ad hoc." You would just need a solid pair of trousers (no pattern in the weave) so that it works with the jacket. Try it and post a picture on instagram and tag us.

    • @sirnobbylad
      @sirnobbylad 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@kirbyallison Thank you. I now feel more comfortable knowing that the stroller is not such an unforgiving dress. I am planning on wearing either a stroller or a morning dress on our national day the 17th of May next year, echoing the dress of our royal family. I will try to remember tag you, most likely also wearing a couple of articles from your website. Thanks again and kudos for achieving 70 thousand subscribers.

    Kirby have you ever noticed that you talk over people before they’ve finished speaking? It appears that you are too focused on what you want to say next instead of listening to what the other person is saying. I know you’ve got to keep the conversation moving and I know being in camera can be difficult but I think you could improve on this. Thank you for your videos. They are wonderful.

      Timothy I don't agree, I hope you can understand that Kirby is very knowledgeable about shoes, fit, comfort and history, this is his shoes and his first fitting so he should have almost equal to say, I did not see Casey not being happy with him interrupting instead he agrees at the end by always saying exactly. I am subscribed to Kirby's chanel, and very gratefully and watch his video chanel religiously and not to mention, this Casey to my opinion is one of the best outstanding worlds top bespoke shoemaker if not the best.

  • @pedrocols
    @pedrocols 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I enjoyed this video but bespoke shoes can be "tricky" due to the fact that typically your feet can swollen and have different feel throughout the day. In addition, leather stretches overtime and the fit will potentially change.

    • @bartderuyck
      @bartderuyck 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely true. Often, bespoke shoemakers will probably do fittings in the afternoon. And obviously, they take into account the stretching of the leather, too. A great craftsman expresses the sum of his knowhow in every item he finishes.

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Without doubt. This is one of the reasons it's important to allow one's feet to stabilize after flying internationally.

    Take the volume out after the sole is welted to the upper? That’s gotta be quite time consuming.

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There is a technique whereby the leather can be shrunk using some heat and steam. This prevents the shoe from having to be ripped apart or remade. Can be effective if the amount of volume that needs to be shrunk is minimal.

    Kirby, 3 people didn't like this video. They clicked on a shoe fitting video and then didn't like it. Maybe try, i dunno, having some trapeze artists in the background. Or possibly some Hollywood style explosion going off in the background. Some softcore pornography on a tv on the wall. How knows?
