Aww. Measurements got music over em in this one. that's sad. it's always interesting to see and hear the process of it.
@owaina27654 ай бұрын
I totally agree, I remember when Kirby did his second fitting with Paolo the music ruined it for me, I was SO disappointed. For such a great tailor the music took away the relaxation and just how interesting the whole process is. I really don’t see why we need back ground music, yes fine at the start and end of the vid but not when these GREAT skilled people are doing what they do.

@oskarek574 ай бұрын
You are absolutely right. He has lost weight and this new haircut is not so good, because it makes him look like you say small boy, not an adult man. Hope Kirby won´t take this as an insult. The reason is, he is rather slim and this short haircut just shows too much of his face if you know, what I mean. His cheek bones are almost visible, just too sharp face and in overall he looks like a chap. It just doesn´t match his personality and age, but he only wanted to make a change, which I understand, but not every change is a better one. Longer hair and pomade, that is just real him.

Kirby thanks for this video! I look forward to following this new series.I have a question, I know that maybe from Texas where you live getting to Italy is a lot of work and takes many hours of travel but have you ever thought about getting something commissioned from a real Italian tailor (maybe one from Naples). Considering that Italian jackets are less structured, lighter with a less rigid style compared to British jackets it would be interesting to also see the differences between the two schools of tailoring.Maybe give it some thought for the future?Greetings from Italy!!🇮🇹 Ps we all hope for a new collaboration with Simon Cundey from Henry Poole! Finally the black tie, tuxedo, tuxedo jacket, dinner jacket or whatever you want to call it they invented it. Just as you always say "Quality, Craftsmanship, and Tradition."
