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

Thanks for taking us along, Kirby! What a treat!

Magnificent video. Cannot wait to see the opera pumps. Thank you for everything you do 🙏

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!

Beautiful Episode. Thanks to you and the team x

I will be deeply disappointed and surprised if Kirby doesn't create a documentary series for and during the coronation

Fabulous episode, thank you to you and your team.

Great black tie, class act as always..

An exquisite episode, most enjoyable.

I couldn’t be more excited to see the results soon

My own opera pumps are kid rather than patent leather so well done with the choice. Will they be made in time though?

I really like this guy’s videos

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. 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?

😊EXCITING KIRBS😊

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.

Kirby, i love your video!! Hoverver I do not understand how you talk about craftsmanship, tradition and quality and never explored Italy?

This will be the second coronation I will watch on TV.

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 😂

My guy was having none of the marathon joking Kirby! Foot tracing is serious business!! 😂

Are you planning on getting a black homburg hat to match the black tie upgrades?

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!

How should one size an opera pump. LOving Your content by the way. Thanks for the inspiration.

Mr. Allison, have you ever considered making a video on morning dress or white tie? They would be much appreciated!

Does anyone know the name of the musical piece that acts as soundtrack to this video?

Jonathon lobb is scared why Kirby wants a dance shoe 😂😂😂

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.

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.

Kirby, in the opening cut the inner layer of your tie is longer than the outer. I'm conflicted.

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.

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

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?

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?😬

@bartderuyck

Жыл бұрын

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.
