- With the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III, there is a palpable excitement around the United Kingdom. It is hard to believe it has been almost 70 years to the day since the last coronation, of her majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II, Charles' mother.
With many events happening around the Coronation, there is plenty to be excited for, none more so than all of the wonderful black tie events. With that in mind, I have decided to use this time as a chance to upgrade some of the aspects of my black tie wardrobe. So join me as we visit two of London's most historic brands to search out some incredible additions to my wardrobe. This time from John Lobb and Budd Shirtmakers.
The original John Lobb, located at No 9 St. James’s Street in London, is widely regarded as one of the world’s preeminent bespoke shoemakers. Established in 1849, John Lobb has been discretely crafting bespoke shoes for some of the world’s most powerful and important people for over 150 years. Now run by the fifth generation of Lobb family members, John Lobb stands, as it has always done, for extremely high standards in the exacting craft of bespoke shoemaking.
Located in the Piccadilly Arcade right off of London's famous Jermyn Street, Budd Shirtmakers has been outfitting some of the world's best-dressed for over 100 years.

Party idea:take a shot every time Kirby says quality craftsmanship and tradition
My kidneys tho… do I really need them?!?
I think in this video, it's "momentous"!
“Bespoke”
Oh my, how common, one will quaff ones champers 🎉😂
Doubles when he says proper.
My father was a coldstream gaurd in the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 11 in 1953, He is still a very smart and upstanding man, A typical old soldier, And still going strong, I hope I am as smart and forthright as him when Im his age. Also Im hoping he will get his 100 birthday letter from King charles god willing. Good luck kirby and keep making great video's
If I had to describe your content with one word, the word I would use is as follows. Genuine. The interactions, conversation and insights never come across as false or forced just genuine! That is such treasure to be apart of and Kirby, I thank you!
Thanks for taking us along, Kirby! What a treat!
Magnificent video. Cannot wait to see the opera pumps. Thank you for everything you do 🙏
Beautiful Episode. Thanks to you and the team x
Coronation content. Yes please squire!
Fabulous episode, thank you to you and your team.
I will be deeply disappointed and surprised if Kirby doesn't create a documentary series for and during the coronation
Great black tie, class act as always..
I couldn’t be more excited to see the results soon
An exquisite episode, most enjoyable.
Kirby's expression when the guy says to machine wash the fabric lol
Interesting video. Nice craftsmanship
This channel is excellent 👌
Very nice , the Entr'acte from Carmen a very nice touch...
This will be the second coronation I will watch on TV.
You must be of an age. 😂
I really like this guy’s videos
And I'm just happy as can be to buy a new T-Shirt.
My guy was having none of the marathon joking Kirby! Foot tracing is serious business!! 😂
Kirby, i love your video!! Hoverver I do not understand how you talk about craftsmanship, tradition and quality and never explored Italy?
The guy behind the counter is like “Wft haha
He's giving off zero f's vibes...
😊EXCITING KIRBS😊
My own opera pumps are kid rather than patent leather so well done with the choice. Will they be made in time though?
Kirby. How has your experience been with ordering a subsequent set of shoes from a maker such as Lobb or G&G without having a fitting shoe made? Have you yet trusted the last that they have on hand and had a great outcome with trust that it’s now dialed in?
Another great video, really like the colour and the silk. I am just wondering about the suit he is wearing, I think the colour is magnificent and the cut is great but it looks not to fit right on the collar or on the chest area (it hangs too low).
Kirby knows more about the shoe company than the salesman
How should one size an opera pump. LOving Your content by the way. Thanks for the inspiration.
After watching your video and some videos about the nice hotels in London I was wondering how does a male dress for afternoon tea at the Ritz and other hotels like the Ritz. Thanks for your videos.
Mr. Allison, have you ever considered making a video on morning dress or white tie? They would be much appreciated!
Are you planning on getting a black homburg hat to match the black tie upgrades?
Does anyone know the name of the musical piece that acts as soundtrack to this video?
Kirby - would loveto see you collab with David Coggins. Sartorialist, angophile, writer, and lover of formal attire in informal situations; match made in heaven. Also would love to see/hear your take on Drake's of London. Cheers!
Beautiful shirt colour and silk. Would it be a good idea to have a pocket handkerchief in the same silk? I am sure too that Bates could help finding a nicer hat for you. For me I like to value and use what I have worn before and not have to buy something for each new occasion but each to his/her own. FYI not coronated but crowded Kirby 😂
Now, I maybe wrong but I get the distinct impression that the John Lobb gent was less than subtle in his steering Kirby away from the opera pump. Not sure Kirby was too open to the steer.
Wtf was Kirby wearing though, look like schoolgirl shoes
30:40 wait when did you get cap-toe oxfords by Lobb? Is this a video still in production or did you already publish it? Thanks
It is about to come out very soon!
@@kirbyallison Nice, looking forward to it. Thanks.
Jonathon lobb is scared why Kirby wants a dance shoe 😂😂😂
Please show us the final results of the tuxedo shirt and opera pumps.
Mr Kent and Mr Haste might remember the last coronation
One wears morning dress or uniform to the Coronation.
I still have bespoke shirts made by ‘Mr Butcher’ nearly 20 years ago - what a miserable ‘s of a b’ he was (entirely humourless) but the shirts still look good as new despite having been worn several times each year.
I have £30 M&S. 😂
@@Lord_Sebastian_Snufflepuss As did we all, once. But work out the investment return on an expensive shirt worn repeatedly over twenty years, the fact it gets better and better with correct washing, has not frayed at all and still looks good with a suit and tie.
@@russ9921 Oh yes, agreed. I would love a bespoke coat to wear at the horse racing.
Someone said it best commenting on another eyerolling vid: 'unironic dandyism.' 😆
💯👍👍
Wouldn't it be a bit more appropriate to buy a Turnbull & Asser shirt? His Majesty is a long standing customer after all
T&A won’t work wirh Kirby.
@@newyorkleb Oh, I did not know that. Do you know why they don't work together?
@@veitno Kirby farted in there once and after that they said never again
@@Mardello 😆
Next video: bespoke underwear🎉🎉🎉
Very happy to hear that Budd has organic cotton fabrics. I have recently ordered two vegan, bamboo suits but my tailor did not have organic cotton for their shirts.
I've found an organic cotton shirtmaker off the rack, which works well with some adjustments for now, but this is a longer-term solution (for when I have more money 💀).
I've also failed to find any off the rack organic cotton black/white tie shirts, so Budd seem like the perfect solution for this one-off.
How about an episode about smoking jackets?
Why didn't Kirby gi with Turnbull and Asser. They are Royal Warrent holder for shirts.
I appreciate your support for the history and tradition of these bespoke crafts Kirby, but Kings are "crowned" not "coronated"... and it is many syllables shorter too 😊.
Don’t confuse our US cousins. 😂
Kirby my dear chap, you need to invest in a proper Morning Suit!
Kirby, in the opening cut the inner layer of your tie is longer than the outer. I'm conflicted.
Well done 😂
@@niemand-oc1kf sure. That's an excuse I have been using for decades now.
@@niemand-oc1kf what?
Kirby, it may be too late now but you might like to ask Sartoria Gallo to take a look at your suit collar. You’re obviously subconsciously feeling that it isn’t meeting the back of your shirt given you keep shrugging at the jacket front, and there is a clear difference when you look at the collars of the suits that Darren and Jonathan are wearing. In other respects the suit is lovely.
That suit has had lots of issues. I also noticed it pulling around the buttonhole.
It’s a beautiful suit, but my off-the-rack stuff fits better.
@@willre00 If you're lucky enough to be on the block for an off the rack, you are very lucky.
I know someone that is a straight up 40 chest and fits the blocks.
The more out of the block, the more you have to compromise, sacrifice length for chest, arms for shoulders, etc.
I never discourage people from OTR, it does make life easier if you can do it.
@@willre00I think bespoke clothing is just plain ridiculous if I’m being honest. The only people who can tell something is bespoke are ones who create bespoke garments. There is NEVER a need for bespoke clothing besides it just being a hobby.
Kirby, I wish you had mentioned why you didn't get a wing collar.😢
🥃🎩
interesting videos channel
It appears Kirby is more stoked about the Coronation than most of UK put together... maybe it is because my invite to a Black Tie is lost in the post... hmm
Yes. Lost in the mail is the most probable reason. Like my cursed letter of acceptance from Yale or the notification from the Nobel prize committee.
agreed, sick of it already... and the waste of 250 million quid.
Would black tie be appropriate for height tea at the Ritz Carton London at 7:30 pm?
Why black tie only? I would think for an event that might only happen every few decades the Brits would go all out with White Tie events.
Kirby you always dress so well but the hat is tragic
No one sees the neck gap?
I would generally avoid coronation stuff. The public is widely agaisnt it during a cost of living crisis
Would you rather be sovereign or reigned over ?
Reigned, not ruled.
@@Lord_Sebastian_Snufflepuss corrected
We want the Cuba videos!
I think the 'Palpable excitement' for most British people is because we get a day off work nothing to do with the coronation haha
And the pubs stay open until 1:00 AM.
the tailor has a nice jacket and a decent shirt...unfortunately, he left it untucked. I wonder how these tailors are so good at dressing others but are themselves in need of style advice...
anyway Kirby, your shirt collar looks a little big for your neck. are you not going to have it fixed for this shirt and the new one?
While we're at it ... what does "Regis Philbin satin silk" mean? Is this some kind of American thing? Kirby uses a lot of odd slang ... "coronated?" Really?
London is not as bad as poeple say it is
The collar of the suit is too low. It keeps gapping and moving away from the neck
I've noticed this on a number of Kirby's suits.
We’re not excited about the coronation at all
Seen another video of yours where the back of your tie is longer than the front ... I'm sure that is on purpose...your attention to detail is sorta what your all about ...that is on purpose...right?
There’s an Italian guy that does this and everyone thinks it’s great.
Kirby, what did you think of the faux pas performed by Trump wearing white tie in 2019 when he attended an event by the Queen?😬
If I may offer an opinion: it was one of many sartorial gaffes. But of course, it stood out because the occasion was so special.
The chief issue was the white waistcoat. It was far too long. (A recurring theme in Donald Trump's long list of menswear blunders. See also: his ties. The length of his trousers.) A waistcoat should always be shorter than a jacket. The reason is simple: a longer waistcoat skews the proportions. By having a waistcoat that long, you're creating a very strong break between the top and bottom. Especially when it runs past the jacket. It's almost 50/50 in Trump's outfit and it creates two distinct visual blocks. Especially since you're dealing in absolute contrast: black and white. Ideally, you want to shift the focus to the top of the body and lead the eyes all the way to a framed face. Trump's attempt was an absolute failure in that regard. Your eyes were drawn to the bottom of the waistcoat.
It would have been better if he had stuck to his ossified '80s corporate powerhouse wardrobe antics. At least he was on terra firma there, while now he looked completely and painfully lost at sea.
Not a Trump fan, but: He was voted into office, the old bag wasn't; so why should he care about the way he's dressed while meeting her? He was the more important person in that meeting, he could've shown up in shorts and a hoodie.
do you have an invite ?....
Obviously not, but there are several points where it sounds like he is implying that he has. I thought this was a little much.
Hy please make video on the door and speak the do not mistrub table please make
He so badly wants to be an old English man it’s painful…he’s in his 30’s right?
It is not painful. It is adorable.
@@michaelkores6860 it’s cringey overplayed paaiiiiin!
@@Twiceonasunday yes, that's one way of looking at it, or you just see a totally harmless hobby being enjoyed. Why not? I too like the style.
@@michaelkores6860 it’s not a hobby though. It’s a business selling a vision and building a brand.
@@Twiceonasunday True, but I would argue that dressing up this way as a hobby might have been the root of the now ongoing business activities.
his shirs and shirts don't see. so much compared to his travel costs to London... imagine he and his cameraman...
this guy is the representation of anti stoicism lol
the proper phrase is " at University" not in college
What about if you were in one of the Oxbridge colleges?
@@Lord_Sebastian_Snufflepuss then you are in a college that is part of a university.
A truly momentous and historic waste of money.
I'm English and the latest poll says 52% of the British public have "no interest in the coronation". Sorry to burst the bubble of all the Americans on here but this is a VERY idealistic view of London and the UK. You notice v rarely does price get meantioned. British pp don't all pay 5k for a suit or £100 + for a shirt. This is as rediclous. Sometimes I watch his videos to fall asleep to. But seriously my cringe level has been reached with this video. Personally I would abolish the monarchy tommarrow. Que American heart attacks 😂
I'm English and this is just pure nonsense. You sound like one of those wankers from "Republic."
Yes, replace them with another layer of politicians. It will surely be a lot better. 😂😂😂
£200 is the starting price for an off the shelf shirt with most closer to £300 - or above - not a garment you'd want to spill your biriani on
@@Lord_Sebastian_Snufflepuss At least then my children would have the chance of becoming Head of State!!! Not another strange blue-blood oddball.
@@MrBurtonshaw We find it is better to train our Heads of State from birth in the UK. Otherwise you will end up with Donald Trump or any other self-serving corrupt politician as ambassador of the country.
The guy from Lobb has missed the assignment, Kirby you have tried to help him out but he should not be on film. 💤
So this is what cultural appropriation feels like
Doesn't feel too bad. At least everyone is looking smart.
And ^^^^ (the original post) is what an idiotic comment looks like - thank you for providing such a fine example!
Americans trying to be British ..
I wish the British would try to be British
@@rudiausbuddeln dude, by that logic Brits wearing jeans are trying to be American, lol
