Bespoke Suit Fitting with Joe Hemrajani from MyTailor

Kirby Allison is again joined by Joe Hemrajani of MyTailor, this time to conduct their second fitting of a new bespoke suit. Joe brings along the trial suit for Kirby to try on, and goes through the process with Kirby, as he amends the fit, so as to ensure that the next time they meet he will bring along a perfect fitting final suit.
Based in Southern California, but travelling worldwide for fittings, Joe Hemrajani first began making shirts for Kirby almost 8 years ago. After a successful first suit, Which Kirby is wearing in this video, Joe is back to create another beautiful suit for Kirby, this time in a dark charcoal grey.

Mr Hemrajani is so humble and well dressed. I absolutely love DB suits

[@glenngray6859]

Kirby your brother Glenn here will be useing Mr Joe Hemrajani services soon . I am getting my money up. I love Mr Hemrajani's attention to every detail. Excited

[@vintageaudiophile5535]

Great to see Joe and Divij in action. I recently did the full bespoke route with them. Divij is a class act and really took the time to make sure sizing was spot on for the first appointment. They really are a great value and understand what customer service is all about. Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Taylor's suit fit really on display at 1:57 when he goes into that action pose

[@brettthorndike1079]

I enjoy this Bespoke series, Thank you😀

[@tonydeltablues]

Good to see the suit fitting happening as you get more of a sense of the process. I've recently had a couple of 2-piece suits tailored recently and I didn't really know what to say or request as I was relying on the tailor's eye and experience. Thanks again.

[@kirbyallison]

tonydeltablues A tailor’s eye and experience should really take you far, but important to have a strong sense of the aesthetic and details you want.

[@tonydeltablues]

@@kirbyallison You are, of course, right. I did guide my tailor to some degree: such as the break on the trousers, and the length of the jacket. The 'kids' wearing suits these days don't have a break on the trousers and the slim fit, oh the trend for the slimmer fit (!). Again, I appreciate your knowledge and content as it feeds into my growing aesthetic. Thanks Tony

[@manamez]

The tailors were dressed beautifully.

[@Paul-dz7xi]

Dudes rock.

[@PornobrillenAli]

That's the key thing to look at in order to see if the tailor is good or not. If he looks bad in his suit it means that he isn't even capable of tailoring a well fitting suit for himself.

[@oskarek57]

I also started with fused suits, when I was 18. Now at my age 37, I am already experienced suit lover always wanting full canvass suit and smooth merino wool or cashmere. I know, that fused suit can also be of high quality, if made by good tailor, but now with my knowledge, only canvassed is the way to go. I wouldn´t feel that good in a fused one, because if you know something better, there is no way to go back unless the money is problem. I hope Kirby enjoys all his suits and live the traditonal life he loves.

[@mattashley04]

Thank you to all involved this was very good and informative. Very helpful.

[@alexnw6050]

You were right Kirby, looks like a great experience. Just got an email saying that my first myTailor shirts have been shipped. I can't wait, maybe next time they swing by I'll get measured for, and order, a suit.

[@kirbyallison]

Alexander Soto Make sure you order a few Cooper Collars from them!! You’ll be very happy with the shirts. Suits natural next step in the relationship.

[@alexnw6050]

@@kirbyallison , I actually got two shirts - 1) end-on-end light blue dress shirt for work (neapolitan collar to wear with a tie - a must at work), and a white poplin with a cooper collar. I just got them today. I washed them and will wash them again tomorrow to get the shrinkage out of the way, but the initial fit is damn near perfect. I will definitely be getting at least two more cooper collar shirts (one in light blue, and a white/blue striped one). I think I've found the primary place I will be getting my dress shirts from now on.

[@DovidM]

Have to agree about collar gap. I see a lot of people whose coat collars don’t sit correctly, with gap at either the back or sides.

[@marcibenzaquen5397]

Very informative of how a suit should fit Thanks so much for good work ,can you please make another video showing the final garment

[@TamMcKie]

Just want to say thank you for all of your videos and the Hanger Project. I'm not in a place where I'm going to ever be able to afford any of these things (be it shoes or suits), but it's such an insightful view to a dream I've always had. I haven't seen all your videos, but one thing on my bucket list (I'm only 31) is to buy a suit from Savile Row. Maybe some Highland Wear from that area :) But great videos, and keep them up.

[@kirbyallison]

Tam McKie Savile Row is still on MY bucket list! With some research and effort you can acquire some really nice stuff for not that much money. Joe is one of those guys that delivers at great garment at an exceptional value.

[@snoflake9485]

Tam McKie, your self-proposed/imposed life trajectory is probably the most depressing thing I’ve read all day🙁

[@Myrslokstok]

Even tough I would not afford bespoke stuff, it gives me great pleasure to see that I guy like Kirby do not dress in Armani, Hugo or Gucci 😃 I soo totaly like the ide to be able to analyze what kind of clodes you need and then have it made for you. Buy less but buy the right stuff once!

[@russ9921]

These guys know their trade inside out - an object lesson in how to fit trousers. It’s a pity so many U.K. tailors don’t do pleats in the front.

[@dalammy]

Loving all these videos Kirby! Really inspired me to one day get myself a bespoke suit. Living only half an hour from saville row I can't believe it's taken me this long to really get into and understand bespoke tailoring and I have to say, I'm completely hooked. Keep up the great content.. Chris 🙌

[@kirbyallison]

Chris Paulyn Thanks! One of the things I hope to show, especially with these MyTailor fitting videos, is that with some research and effort, one can create a really nice wardrobe without killing the bank. It still takes some strategic investment, but the right pieces from the right maker can really go the distance!

[@mryoda17]

How long will this take? -2 weeks! You're kidding!? -Yes.

I've seen the results on your Instagram page - a beatiful charcoal suit. Considering the price it's a real steal.

[@kirbyallison]

Noor Hussain It really is! Joe and MyTailor have been making my shirts for over 10 years, but I just recently started having them make some suits. And I’ve been really happy with the results.

[@kalteich]

Haha, this guy is in trouble. He should've gotten the Navy suit like the other two guys, in case war breaks out.

[@ec8162]

He should of established that before they started to establish his style of suit

[@armedferret]

plenty of time to get another one at the last minute, as the Hemrajanis don't have much of a lemf of time needed to create a suit from scratch.

[@PONYBOYonline]

I was gonna say. The two tailors must be battle hardened veterans judging by their suits. They have established their readiness for war.

This is a fantastic series. Would you mind giving your opinion on the clothing available at affordable stylish clothiers like Suit Supply?

[@kirbyallison]

Sumeet M For the price point, it’s a nice garment. At least they take a style position and have a very nice, updated classic aesthetic.

[@oldwest517]

Nice video. How would you compare what they do with Hall Madden or some of the other made to measure companies?

[@kirbyallison]

oldwest517 I don’t have any experience with Hall Madden, but my General experience with many MTM companies is that they don’t know anything about patterns and complex fit. One of the things that’s immediately evident with Joe and Divij is their depth of knowledge. They’ve been doing this for a long time and, especially for Joe, he’s been incredibly passionate about it since the beginning

[@DrBug-mu3ud]

For some reason the thumbnail looks like a group of Sims interacting.

[@markmaier2503]

I’m curious. While this fitting is an obvious way to achieve a great fit, I’m not sure how a series of pictures would take its place. Am I incorrect?

[@leighhowell8003]

[@kirbyallison]

You wouldn’t want it. It has almost no structure.

Can somebody knows the price range of a bespoke suits. I am not asking exact price as it varies depending on material. Approximate price from min to max. What are the prices?

[@toonsoffun5733]

Most of the time it’s the makers that impact the price. The starting price is 2000-5000 usd usually. If you want an exclusive material the price will increase.

[@j.cj.c.5601]

Dang Kirby, how did you know about Peoria? I grew up there. LOL

[@kirbyallison]

J.C J.C. Haha. I have a friend that’s traveled there for years for consulting...

[@bartderuyck]

The jacket should indeed sit a little higher. Because there's some pronounced collar gap on Kirby's right side: the space between the shirt collar and the jacket lapel is a bit too loose.

[@stevefg3067]

Depends on the tailor and taste... Ive bought from Isaia Napoli and its about 1-1/2’’ higher than my fitted Zegna. Some bespoke have the option to play with the placement of the lapel as to elongate or shorten your silhouette / imperfections. Then again... he only did spend $1000.

[@snoflake9485]

Bart De Ruyck nice of you to bring that up before it is made (if they didn't already privately note it)

I'm not so sure if the fitting of fused suits will be the same as the full canvas suit. So, providing the sample suit defeats the purpose because of the fused & full canvas suits.

[@ryanicosworld]

Great video... I look forward to the next installment. I contacted the them to see when they would be in Portland,OR. unfortunately I will be in Texas on a business trip when they are here... but I hope to catch them the next time around. there should be a Kirby Allison discount for first time orders! Also, I would like to get your take on double breasted suits. Keep up the great job! Steve

[@qarhsi]

Collar gap observable, as with some of your other suits...

[@leanmachinepainting1016]

The younger Indian guy would grate on my nerves, butting in all the time he needs to learn to be humble.

[@abrightp]

I would say so far this “prototype” is pretty disappointing in shape for me…the back looks ok…but waist and 1st button is really weird…way too narrow at 1st button.the entire front looks like a pear…the back collar also failed to fit the neck line. Generally it’s a really bulky fit. Trousers is generally okay but the length need adjustment as well. Hopefully he can fix those in the final version.

[@ryanicosworld]

I agree. He's acts like it's a true bespoke but it's not. He charges for a mtm but with a few tweaks. Everything else he does is for appearance. Sneaky salesmen in my opinion. This type of syit should cost 800 bucks tops. Your basically adding a free throw away garment to your mtm suit.

[@FinalPattern11]

The son is trying too hard. Chill out man, you don’t have to add your input all the time. But that’s just what you need, time.

[@AsadKhan-dx5vo]

There is a gap between the shirt n the jacket collar and moreover the trousers are rather long.

[@kirbyallison]

This was a trial suit...

[@DappsJames]

[@snoflake9485]

Mr. Allison, if you don't already, you might wish to request clearing the seat enough to maintain modesty while raising your arms or hip hinging a little (to get something from a low shelf or ground for example). At a concert, a conductor had his covered sufficiently until he raised the baton during the performance. Was a memorable experience. 😣🤦‍♂️🏻 Do note this would ”lengthen the torso”.

[@kirbyallison]

snoflake haha. Great suggestion! It’s amazing how many conductors have absolutely appalling suits and tuxedos.

[@snoflake9485]

Kirby Allison, That tail length takeaway was the best part of that performance. 😏 To enjoy the music it is best sometimes to close the eyes for the reasons mentioned. Well shined shoes and gold watches [always] look great on stage the way the light reflects and embues life while adding presence. Football player shoulder pads do not. Legislative branch take note.
