At about 8:50 the gentleman being interviewed makes the key distinction: style vs. fashion. Style, as he says, is timeless: "style remains." Simply and perfectly stated.
I heard this very often, but I don't think this is true actually. Have you looked at classic style of the 70s? and 80s? Does it look like the "classic style" as we see it today? Sure suits are suits, but 70s classic suits are very different from nowadays "classic suits". It's true that those seasonal trends change faster than "classic style", but classic style also change, just slower.
A terrific video, Kirby. I would recommend a visit to Gieves & Hawkes. I’ve had two suits made by Davide Taub there, and they are hands down my favorites. He does a fantastic job in melding tradition with some interesting touches. Well worth the trip in my opinion.
Kirby - great videos as always - planning on an A&S navy worsted in 2020. FYI - 0:50 it says "Alex Cooke - Henry Poole" rather than "Leon Powell - Anderson and Sheppard". Two P's in Sheppard too.
i've been lucky enough to have one made for me here in tokyo last year by one renowned tailoring house, and let me tell you, i feel amazing wearing that suit every time. it was a three piece made from a fabric called harrison's, a rather thick, wintery suit. it's a real pleasure every time i wear it and i know it just looks immaculate. FWIW, i paid around 3500 euros in total, which i guess is much cheaper compared to what you'd pay in saville row. i hope this inspires you to one day get a bespoke suit as well.
I had one made here in DC and it’s a great experience. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of mine and everyone can tell it’s a high quality suit. The issue is I lost about 20 lbs and it’s hard to get the fit right again.
I'm a blue collar man and unfortunately I rarely get the occassion to wear formal attire. My off-duty style is normally casual to business casual but I think I would enjoy wearing a nice Savile Row suit.
I really like the way KA dresses; impeccably smart and stylish and very precise but that waistcoat (vest) he was wearing seemed wrong to me. That appears much more suitable for wearing with a morning coat to a wedding. I might be wrong.....
Kirby is possibly making a statement, representing his country whilst abroad. He's sporting a peculiarly American ensemble known as the "Stroller": essentially morning dress with a regular jacket in place of the morning coat.
@@organ444 I wouldn't say it's peculiarly American. Here in the UK it's usually called black lounge & it's the traditional London "city gent" uniform, though it went out of use in the 70s with the bowler hat. My Dad & his best man wore rented black lounge suits when he got married in the 80s. With a black waistcoat it is the uniform of undertakers in this country to this day.
Kirby, I've really enjoyed your Saville Row videos. May I make a few suggestions? Stop using the expression "you guys" when describing the people and firms you're interviewing. How about "your firm," or "your company," or "your tailors." You sound less professional when you use that term so often, and you are a wonderfully professional interviewer. Same goes for "incredible." Too many things you describe are "incredible." The overuse of that word makes you seem less credible, which I don't want you to be because I love your videos, as they are highly entertaining.
Kirby, out of respect to the recently deceased Alex Cooke, I'd like to insist that you correct the mis-labeling in this video! Shame on you for making this mistake in the first place and doubly shame on you for not correcting it!!!
the only thing with kirby is he interrupts and wants to be seen as more knowledgeable and wants to hear himself talk all the time, it can be seen here in the video and also the false sense of listening and little feedback
He acts, speaks and dress like an individual from a bygone era. It’s almost as if he’s trying to imitate the 1920s upperclass or the New York elites from that era. His mannerisms also appears very contrived and not effortless or organic
A&S highly overrated... They are excellent at making trousers. Jackets, not so much. Disaster actually. That was my experience with Leon. Henry Poole far more reliable, better quality, and better service to boot.
I dont like this mans suit . it looks tight in the back I see wrinkles in the back , that denotes a bad fit . He talks about exellent fitting suits that are comfortable , but his suit is not comfortable. .

Same with hats. Remember when hats were the norm ?

Love their style, thanks for the look inside.
Great Video Kirby, Im quite enjoying the Savile Row Series

did you end up getting it?
This still hasn’t been corrected. Alex Cooke died recently too.
I’m dying for a bespoke suit.

Wear what you like! That’s the beauty of style.
once again, love the show
Great Video! Thank you! Your Audience from Germany would appreciate if you got together with Bernhard Roetzel if possible.
I was hoping for a tour..
You're right: we were promised a tour.
Slits at Side just sounds better than Vents
Where to buy top quality fabric for blazer, it should be all season fabric
Great tour sir 👍🏿

John Lobb is the best shoes,Raphn Lauren is the best shirt,Burberry is the best coat?
Do they also establish navy suits? I am going to war soon
I too would enjoy charging the battlefield in a nice, bespoke Navy suit for war.

There is just one thing that true English well dressed gentlemen don't do. That's put their hands in their pockets.
@@user-js2dr9gv1u Which pocket does he put it in? Not his trousers...
Well, Americans do that all the time. Just a different culture, guy.

nothing wrong with the terms 'youse' or 'yall' he should switch incredible with awesome and wowsers though
I guess you could say it makes him...in-credible

Does this guy actually act and walk like this in real life with his friends? Lmao Its the most fake pretentious bs.
the way he always has his one hand in his pocket kills me... the cringe is too much

I’m genuinely curious, who do you think makes Prince Charles’ suits today?
Some teach him how to say his 'th's'
Gareth Murphy that’s very much how they speak in London. They pronounce their “th” like an “f”
Dolce and gabbana is best suit in the world?
Certainly not.
Definitely not
oh my goodness.
Lololol
Louis Huynh I think not.
'Mr Hitchcock' and 'Mr Hall' - no first names; are we in 2019 or not?
I dont like this mans suit . it looks tight in the back
I see wrinkles in the back , that denotes a bad fit .
He talks about exellent fitting suits that are comfortable , but his suit is not comfortable. .
