Gentlemen's Day Out In London | Kirby Allison & Tom Chamberlin

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

After a long wait, Kirby was finally able to get back over to London. So to celebrate, he invited his good friend Tom Chamberlin, editor of The Rake magazine, to join him for a special 'Gentlemen's Day Out In London', doing a selection of their favorite activities. This gave them the perfect chance to catch up, and discuss the current situation for bespoke craftspeople and heritage firms through London.

    ​@@01menyou You need to get a more positive outlook on life, and some manners. The world has always been in chaos, and probably always will be. The good news is that, overall, the world is and has been constantly improving. For example poverty in the world has been cut in half since year 2000. Rich and good people are constantly doing something to improve the world. And yes, there is much more to do and is being done. But what should we and they do in the mean time? Should we all stop living, be unhappy and miserable because there are "food and power shortages" somewhere else? How will that help them or us? Sartorial life is what they are passionate about, just like someone else is passionate about video games, movies, or playing football. Should Lionel Messi and Ronaldo stop playing fotball and sit at home and cry about food and power shortages instead? If you plan to not be passionate about things until all world's major problems are resolved, you are going to die a very unhappy man.

I have Floris No. 89 and can attest that the scent profile seems very prototypically mid-century English Gentleman's Cologne.

I remember travelling to Spain back in the late nineties and meeting some proper well-mannered British ladies and gentlemen. Now I come back to those places and don't see anyone quite like that... At first I though - maybe I don't go to the same kind of places I used to go... Where are these people? And a terrible thought struck me - these people are too old to travel or no longer alive. The tradition is slowly dying too. Thank you for preserving it. Greetings from Russia.

    Dressing yourself in the factory setting is never an overkill. Japanese will always have a locker and perhaps a shower in the factory office so they can change to dress up nicely after the shift. They won't use the same shirt in the factory floor with their commuting shirt and suit. Not just factory workers but also government employees even soldiers in the JSDF and police. You can meet a nicely dress gentlemen in Izakaya even though they're just clocking off their job on the factory floor or manning the security guard tower in an airbase or a firefighter.

    I so much want to visit London. The amount of old-school services and (the good kind) etiquette. Love it. I've had wet shaves in the past and they are sublime. Not something I would do regularly. But certainly as a treat. It also seems that London has so many 'Men's Only' or "Primarily Men" places as well. Some place, especially the elegant ones, where men can just hang out and be themselves. The New York Athletic Club is along those lines and I LOVE visiting when I get the opportunity. Love your shows!

And now, it is nice to see you out and about emerging in these videos. I don’t fool myself into thinking we’re back in to normalcy, but I can’t help but notice how much your channel and presence has grown in the last two years. Your Content is better, and you are making videos which look better, and you seem more at ease in these videos. They’re natural But I want to say, as a long overdue thanks, your live streaming shows during the initial pandemic were a tremendous comfort.

    @Alan Bellew I don't know if I'd go that far, but I'm kinda still figuring him out. Is this just an austentatious channel? Spending crazy amounts on bespoke shoes and suits the likes of most can't afford? Or does he genuinely love London and the traditions found here? I think he does genuinely love tradition and London but in a way one of our Royal members would. Automatically it makes you wonder though. I guess if you have the money, and the free choice, then why not have access to such refined products. I'm working class and almost certain I wouldn't like a taffy nosed pillock quofting about yet I'm intrigued to watch the videos he puts out. Well, most of them. I live the Sahakians! Especially Eddie. Cool, slick, knowledgeable and his voice is very pleasant in the ear. I couldn't afford to blow hundreds of pounds on a cigar tho! Even if I won the lottery there'd be parts of life that wouldn't appeal to me. So I'm not sure whether I watch this stuff to see how the other half live, or the old fashioned content and tradition that Kirby likes.

It’s also his buisness and he is promoting something that needs preserving and to be fair is absolutely outstanding.
