I hope Kirby don't do that. I had so much channels lose it because they go making their own streaming platform.

The interactions between these two is something you don't see very often nowadays. A genuine, wholesome friendship.

Speaking as a Londoner, John and terry are great ambassadors for the city. They’re honest, highly skilled, warm with a easy manner and a good dash of humour. Well spoken and articulate, but not posh, and clearly strive to provide a top-notch service. This is a great mini-series.

@@fifi_198 Excellent. I had a second fitting on 27th Feb and then collected on the Tues 12th March just gone. The entire team is exactly as they are on KZread; great banter in the shop (banter is British for laughing and knockabout humour) and hugely professional. The beauty is the invisible stuff; hand sewn button holes, beautiful hand work inside the trousers that only the customer will ever see. They have seen every body shape so one must follow their advice; they know exactly what is correct for your body. I recommend them 100%. Worth every penny.

@@fifi_198 It was excellent. Obviously at the first fitting they only fit approximately. At the second fitting two weeks later those problems have been sorted out. Two weeks after that was the third fitting/collection. That is obviously what you’re paying for with bespoke. I collected them at the third fitting; although I could have had another fitting if desired/needed. Apologies for not answering sooner. Btw…£1350 and worth every penny. I had a 13/14 ounce plain dark grey wool worsted, button fly, side pockets, two pleats and standard 1 3/4 “ turn-ups. The hand work is incredible; mostly invisible to the public; hand sewn button holes as an instance; only you know it’s there. The team there are fantastic; utterly professional, the repartee is biting, ironic; tinged with good humoured sarcasm…..exactly as you see with Kirby…..🇬🇧

Could listen to these two all day: true London craftsmen with a wicked sense of humour.

It's so satisfying to watch experts work their craft like this

I’ve been waiting for this series to continue! Great job again!

The skill required to create one of these suits is so impressive. Thank you for these excellently produced podcasts. Kudos. 👍👍👍

I really like these guys. I'm teaching myself Bespoke Tailoring at home. These guys and the absolutely stunning Suyamba are a mine of useful information....I like the banter too, they're really down to earth

Being waiting for what seems like ages for this.These two gentlemen are great characters and make you feel at ease and welcome. Whilst I will never have the opportunity to wear any of their suits,it is great to see the work and precision that goes into a bespoke suit.Well done Kirby,top class as usual 👏 👍.

When he detaches that sleeve at 22:00 my mind was just blown... this series has just been the absolute best. Its got interest, skill, ASMR, entertainment and intrigued all in one. Thanks Kirby and Team.

"We're going to let this out about two meters." Lol. She is fantastic

Finally! Love the Kent and haste series. My favorite by far.

Been looking forward to this for a while. Can’t wait for the next one. John, Terry, Suyamba are my new favorite trio.

The tailors were warm and charming. Says a lot about Kirby as well since he was enveloped in their love and affection. The good relationship between client and tailors in this case is showing in Kirby’s unfinished suit that is coming together very well. Enjoyed the show.

I love seeing the development in these videos of relationships changing from formal politeness, to a bit of polite banter. That jacket from Terry is absolutely crisp looking.

One of my favourite episodes, great chemistry between you chaps! Lovely to see such experienced craftsmen👍

I can’t put into words how much I love this channel. It’s brought me so much joy.

Watching expert craftspeople at work is mesmerising. Wonderful stuff.

You don’t often hear a true London accent these days,so for me personally this was golden

I enjoy the time spent with the gentlemen as much as the clothing. And these two are the best. To be fair, the Sahakians are also the best. I look forward to these episodes for weeks.

So glad to see the continuation of this series, these two are the best people you have collaborated with along with the lovely gentlemen from Davidoff (broadly said as to include the Folkes')

I love these two, they're hilarious.

Been waiting for this video since the first one came out months back. Love these two characters, could listen to them all day!

Kent and Haste!!!! Yay! I keep checking back waiting for another video of them. I've watched all the pattern-making videos over and over because they're so lovely to watch! (And I learned quite a bit from them!)

Yessssss! So glad the wait is over! These guys are golden. Lol.

John and Terry are so wholesome- a great duo!

These videos are an amazing endorsement of not just the concept of bespoke and tailored clothing, but the great people behind the art and craft. After learning of Kent Haste & Lachter through your videos, I now wish that I have the opportunity to meet them and perhaps even of having the privilege to have a suit made by them. They seem such great people to work with

Better lay off the fish and chips Kirby. The camaraderie and humour between John and Terry is amazing. They seem more like brothers than colleagues, then again they have known and worked together on and off for over 40 years. Can we appreciate how beautiful Terry's suit is, I would love to have seen it with the jacket on.

John’s back is adjusted itself through years of looking after the finest details for his personal customers..what an amazing gentleman.

big thanks to all involved ...really informative, i do appreciate very much ..thx

Love this, I still appreciate these old school British traditions and skilled tradesmen and woman. I think there’s a huge swell in Britain to go back to simpler times where skills were paramount not technology

Love these two, so funny a guy with a 30 inch waste is “heavy” 😊

Love the choices. The birdseye is wonderful and the tweed looks excellent as well.

I look forward to every series. Many thanks for showcasing true bespoke tailoring by charming master tailors.

One thing I will definitely do once I save up enough is get a bespoke suit made for myself. Absolutely love suits and the confidence they provide the wearer.

With the British pound way down against rhe dollar Simon and company can make a beautiful Super 130 suit for you for just over $5000. Yes, irs a little money but they are a lot less expensive then other Savile Row tailors and they come to New York three times a year. Their next visit is in February and I plan to see them than as well to move my suit fabrication along. Maybe you should strive to see them then. You don't pay for all of rhe suit at the start but pur down 50% and the pay the balance upon satisfactory completion of the commission. Good luck to you.

I mentioned to Simon about are e-mail exchange and he was flattered that I recommended Henry Poole to you. They are coming between February 21-23 to NYC. I will be commissioning a second suit in a chestnut plaid that is very autumn looking- I like those colors of that season. I probably going to go with trousers, waistcoat and suit jacket this time. I hope you will do forward with having a suit commissioned as it is a great experience for a man to have and you look like a million bucks when they finally complete it. Good luck to you.

Those are coming along beautifully! You must be excited. Also, you are not alone, Kirby...I've also found many of my trousers have been shrinking in their waists. There must be something going around this past year...

I love seeing the skill that goes into these

Such great content, Kirby. Thank you. Love the birds eye cloth. I also tend to put on a few pounds on holiday and then just as quickly loose them, which throws the measurements. I've ended always asking for just a touch of an allowance on the cut of my suits to compensate.

Watching John and Terry play off each other reminds me of the Tappet Brothers from the old Car Talk show. John has no internal monologue so he voices everything thought he has and Jerry is the straight laced guy that sits back until he needs to step in and get things back on track. If someone ever makes animated shorts showing traditional professions to kids these are the 2 for the tailor episode.

Well done! The video is both entertaining and educational. Terry's jacket looks fantastic but it will be skin tight at the upper back. Hopefully, it will allow you to move your arms enough to be able to enjoy a cigar, drive a car, etc.

Great video Kirby, but I love how your shirt fits you so clean especially in the back.

The jacket fitting was such a joy to watch

These videos soothe my brain

At last! But soooo worth the wait.

British irony and dryness lost on Kirby at times 😊

Very interesting and enjoyable to watch

Been waiting for this!!!! 😁😁😁

I love Terry's waistcoat colors, and would love to see the whole suit.

“Agreeing with each other is boring and you’re giving in”….. Very important words and more people need to understand healthy disagreement is good and drives a better outcome. We all don’t have to agree to respect each other. Or my dad used to say, any old dead fish can float down river. Swim against the current and be heard.

Great to watch

I find this video very relaxing

Great video Kirby! What microphones do you use?

Our friend John is obviously very talented, and he took pains to tell you... "We aim to get the first fitting...how we've communicated." and went on to say, "We get our first fittings pretty well on the money." Based on the next 30 minutes, I couldn't help but wonder as to the effectiveness of your first communication. It must have been easier to draft the plans for the Eiffel Tower.
