The sound that blade makes when sliding out it's sheath, chef's kiss**

[@krollic]

It's a very easy time watching these videos with a favourite drink.

[@kirbyallison]

Glad you like them!

[@SunsetWingman]

I can’t watch these for asmr at night anymore. There’s almost constant multi minute ads. It’s the most of any channel I’ve seen

[@tastewithjase]

Watching him knife those fitting shoes - ouch! Amazing artisan process. Great vid.

[@medeirov]

Great video as always. This type of video is my favorite, seeing the process + conversation with Kirby and experts is always enlightening and gives perspective to the effort applied here.

[@colinmasterson2260]

Amazing detail and so interesting how the 2nd pair gave him a lot of information.. Daniel is brilliant talent

[@Javi_C]

Great to see Daniel again!

[@gavindadds4414]

I've seen all the measuring videos, but never seen this process of deconstructing the shoe to make corrections. Absolutely fascinating. I would love to be able to do something like this. I have one longer foot with the other quite a bit wider with narrow heels so getting really good fitting shoes can be very difficult. As usual, terrific content.

[@LCOF]

During fitting: "Sir, do you have a history of inbreeding in your family...?"

[@deanhoban9517]

That suit fits amazingly well

[@GT-me1ke]

The cutting portion was hard to watch! Such a beautiful pair of shoes.

[@kirbyallison]

I know! It feels wrong, even for just a trial pair!

[@johnkovitch550]

I want to see him make the final pair

[@Mrockwood08]

I like the look of the two tone, two tie Darby "educational" shoe

[@cyrilhudak4568]

Looked like bowling shoes. 😁

[@kimberly_erin]

So informative. I’m green with envy

[@111ImNumber1]

One of the best bespoke shoemakers out there for sure. Thank you for the great video

[@zavalondc]

❤

[@59jaguar]

A good Ankle boot worth while .

[@russ9921]

That’s my excellent, warm new greatcoat behind you Kirby. I hope you’ll do a video with C & D at a future date. Their clothes are priced at a good entry point for those wanting to try out Savill Row.

[@RehabProjectSRCB]

How much was the greatcoat?

[@russ9921]

@@RehabProjectSRCB Around £1200. It was altered for me which cost another £100. Looks fantastic when worn and warm as toast.

[@RehabProjectSRCB]

@@russ9921 hmm not sure I want to spend $1800 on a coat ATM. It is lovely but since I'm American and the exchange rate is quite poor right now it seems it's not the best time for it.

[@TheRacerRich]

When youtube shoes me an add for slip on sneakers while I watch this video, I know their algos are bad.

[@thelearicist]

“It’ll allow us to put a little more room into it” “I do these entirely by myself”

[@LCOF]

I think he meant us as in him and Kirby. I know Daniels partner did some patina work.

[@garyindiana2127]

I find a kiridashi knife indispensable when leatherworking

[@jamie-ox8sg]

So how much do they cost

[@R.N.19]

I had a question for you Kirby or your shoemaker. Why did Diana Vreeland polish the soles of her shoes with rhinoceros horn? I can't figure out the reason. I mean wouldn't that ruin the sole?

[@jonathanmosebach2921]

I love the bottle of Bunnahabhain in the background! Good Delicious Scotch!

[@qilu2004]

I've been thinking for a while and cannot help asking: when will 3d printing be used to make lasts and wouldn't that make bespoke shoe making process easier and cheaper?

[@alessiocai5573]

Wood* plastic is different, i make shoe too, i just use wood, it's just so good and versatile, easy to fix, change shape, and drawing on it with pencil that can be erased, other few reasons that are not in my cases, like of being plastic and not reciclable, or snobish and traditionalist mind, some people don't even know a bespoke Concept, they think it's made of a raw wood block and then sculpted to a shoe last and yes, but this was back then where there wasn't technology that far, i work with pre molded lasts, bespoke it means tailored Based on measurements of the customer, it's just a short cut, time saving and money saving, of course i can make it from a raw tree, like, 500€ or pre molded, but after that is totally sanded, sculpted for the customer 250€ half the price, you choose, won't change final result

[@prevostclement]

What's his knife??!! I want it so bad x)

[@righteousred723]

Second

[@marshal_2023]

Would you please make a some videos about hunting guns?

[@brucehtdallas]

I want some shoes made by him. I can send a deposit

[@MichaelOssen]

First!

[@jaxson1948]

Third!

[@oscarwindham6016]

These "professional" shoemakers seem to find it impossible to abandon their foot deforming "canoe" shaped monstrosities in favor of making a shoe that accommodates the actual shape of the human foot. This "shoemaker" seems to have convinced this customer that his bunion causing joke of a shoe is actually what he wants.

[@mra9953]

Has anyone actually gone onto his website? It’s has an appalling design and the prices are just laughable for a shitty brand.

[@kirbyallison]

You must be on the wrong website.

[@mra9953]

@@kirbyallison it’s one of your links pal.

[@conversationsindesign1]

Whos website?

Stop playing mesdemoiselles. Look at indian or pakistanese craftsmen, and you will see what a champion is. Few money, few supplies, no comfort, but efficiency and service. Regards

[@OEFvet0311]

As I lay here in my Wal*Mart sweat pants, awaiting my trip to Tractor Supply Co. tomorrow to pick up a new duck jacket, I realize... You are almost the polar opposite of me, culturally.

[@efmbmedic68]

Same here LOL...wondering if he can do a nice pair of jump boots?

[@jonnylons1]

Vids like this are the best Kirby Allison vids. Genuine connection, genuine knowledge on both sides. I’ve not had any bespoke shoes (don’t have the cash) but it’s clear that Daniel is the best of the best.

[@karldelavigne8134]

I like Daniel Wegan's Chelsea boots. It would be great if you commissioned a bespoke pair for yourself, Kirby, as I don't think you have these yet in your collection.

[@JT-dk3mw]

He posted a pair on his Instagram and they are stunning !

[@brandonsantana5981]

Ive literally never wanted to wear a suit or fancy dress shoes so why is this interesting

[@abhinavbhargav7011]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw him cut into the leather

[@xaeo]

If I close my eyes, I see pewdiepie when he talks.

[@kylebarthelmas9835]

Mr. Allison, Is that the bespoke pinstripe suit from one of your previous videos? If so, looks great!! Where better to wear it than your fitting with Mr. Wegan

[@kirbyallison]

Yes, it is!

[@russ9921]

@@kirbyallison The suit is a good cut overall but next time get the collar corrected, Kirby. There shouldn’t be a gap between your neck and the collar when you sit down. My late uncle was a bespoke tailor and would rail at the TV screen when he saw that on a news presenter’s suit.

[@SuperBlazeomatic]

Those pinstripes are workin' for you Kirby.

[@sebastianproksch7353]

The best cannel for good sleep 😀

[@Blackpowderdad]

Your living the dream Kirby!

[@paulthepiper4602]

Very nice shoes 👞

[@vasasangjaas108]

He cut the shoes ! 😮😮Never expected thar ! Do they stitch a new pair or what? Any info on people who knows more about this? Very interesting !

[@rade1809]

New shoes will be made. The fitting shoes are often made from inferior materials and are cut so that adjustments can be made.

[@vasasangjaas108]

@@rade1809 Thank you for replying. Never knew this process! I guess it makes sense and it's logical to do so with inferior materials, but still have to resemble real product as much as possible. These arts and crafts are so underated, and it's nice that people are still doing this. Enjoyment to watch and see those skills.

[@millionairemassanger]

[@reinouddelporte911]

I can't keep my eyes of Daniel's boots. So beautiful. Kirby, I can't help it, but I'm not a fan of your Alan Flusser suit. It's obviously a high quality suit, but of all your suits, I think I like this one the least. I do hope you like it a lot, after all that's the most important matter off course.

[@jebbush2527]

What’s wrong with it?

[@reinouddelporte911]

@@jebbush2527 I can't lay my finger on it. Just every time I see Kirby wearing this suit I notice I'm not liking it. Maybe it's the fabric, maybe it's the cut. Maybe it's just the way it looks on camera. I don't know. I feel his other suits look far better on him.

[@JT-dk3mw]

@@reinouddelporte911 it looks too big and bulky for me

[@hectorlopez9338]

Howdy Kirby, I have a question relating to shoe care, I’ve noticed that my shoe heels seem to wear-out rather quickly (after only a few months) and it happens unevenly, only on the ends of them and to the left and right (one side per shoe) what do you think causes this? Thank you, and God bless you brother. Keep up the good work.

[@christianfreed]

I've got the same issue, it is about the way we step, at least with me, my boots wear on the rear left of the heel on the left shoe and the rear right of the right shoe. I find that I kick the heel from the outside of my body towards the center at a slight diagonal just barely grazing the ground

[@patrickpfingsten9819]

Go full rubber heel pads and have your cobbler switch them out before you wear through to the leather heel.
