I see a Kent, Haste, and Lachter video - I watch, I enjoy, I hit that like button 😂

[@kirbyallison]

Great!

[@davidt641]

I recently had my first appointment at Kent Haste to get measured up for a bespoke suit. Stephen greeted me at the door and Suyumba with Terry measured me for a 9oz Fresco suit in royal blue. Thank you for showing us the wonder that is Kent Haste Kirby! It’s thanks to your content I was able to decide where to go to experience this side of quality, craftsmanship and tradition. Keep up the excellent work!

[@driezzy]

How affordable are the suits?

[@davidt641]

@@driezzy in my opinion very reasonable. Kent Haste charge what they deem would be an acceptable price for them to pay for a bespoke suit. I know some of the Savile Row bespoke house’s prices can be quite inflated in comparison. The price will therefore depend on the choice of material, if it’s a 2 or 3-piece garment and cost of labour etc.

[@kirbyallison]

Congratulations! Sounds lovely!

[@kirbyallison]

Kent Haste is exceptionally reasonable, especially in comparison to the cost of a similar garment from other firms. I believe the ballpark is around £4,000.

[@godzilla12325]

​​@@kirbyallison4 large is more than reasonable Kirby, do they do leather suits with studs? I am considering a bespoke leather suit to frequent the local "mens club". I could wangle you an invote Kirby if you would allow me to squire to to an event...

the pure charm of these gentlemen and this lady. I could watch your videos together all day long. the craftsmanship and attention to the elegance and cut. so wonderful. Perhaps an idea is to have a conversation with them simply chatting about their experiences and ideas, like your Sahakian vids, Kirby?

[@MAXdori]

This would be fantastic

[@albinoewok]

The relationship between you and the Kent, Haste & Lachter guys is brilliant.

[@EdreiC.]

Yayyy, another Kent Haste & Lachter vid!! Love this bespoke house!

[@danielrindfuss9911]

I was equally impressed by the fit and style of Ms.Kumaresan's suit. I would love to see Suyamba branch out to provide a range of custom fitted women suits. I think there is a professional market that could be targeted toward women and marketed and addressed with that equal attention of world class fit and cut.

[@teekue]

The Savile row tailors all do women's tailoring as well.

[@dubp123]

I can’t take my eyes off of Suyamba, simply beautiful.

[@thebecht67]

I love these 3 poeple with Kirby ! The woman has every time a good intuition and guys are so professional ! Kiss from France 🇫🇷

[@MAXdori]

“Quick, flog it” hilarious! I love seeing this group together

[@SimonLant]

I cannot believe you left your suit on the flight Kirby. Glad persistence from your PI got it back. Another great video here. Keep em coming.

[@thechairman74]

The good thing is that, even though it was probably a very expensive bespoke suit, probably nobody wanted to pawn it, fence it or otherwise abscond with it. The lesson here is, invest in bespoke clothing! 😂

[@DougHardy541]

I thoroughly enjoy these bespoke garment fitting episodes even though I will probably never experience one personally, can always vicariously.

[@mikewinston8709]

Fun fact…Terry made The Joker suits/outfits for Jack Nicholson in the Batman film

[@venzonian]

The hollowed and hushed tone on that shirt. Never seen that before. Made me sit up.

[@jsmithgate]

I love these guys the banter between you all is hilarious

[@crisholmurb007]

Every time I return to this channel I regret having left, although totally unintentionally. Now I am back for good. Kirby, you are simply amazing!

[@professorpelotard7925]

Another wonderful video! The repartee between the participants is always a highlight of these Kent, Haste & Lachter films. And the dinner suit looks to become a fantastic one... and that shirt... I love a silk shirt, specially of the chunkier variety. Inherited an off-white one from my grandfather many years ago. wore it to destruction. I'm so happy Kirby went for the waistcoat, I really hate cummerbunds (the only thing worse is the present fashion of not wearing any waist covering at all, it looks so sloppy). Can't wait for the final delivery video.

[@jerrondscott]

One day, I hope to own a Haste & Lachter. Love vids till then.

[@ianwalls4976]

Thankyou Kirby i enjoyed the the first fit . Now the second is just as amazing can't wait for the next episode 👏

[@christianalvarez7799]

I was lucky enough to meet them at their shop in London.

[@valhaynes858]

Suyamba is so stylish and a great foil for the two ‘lads’ 😀

[@trippywicks5532]

I was literally thinking that the whole video and was surprised I didn’t see anyone else say it. I’m glad I’m not alone in this thought 😂

[@ricardorgomez]

I love these folks! They are first on my list of bespoke tailors to work with if the time ever comes for me to take that route. I am in New York City and saw that they have regular trunk shows and wondered how well that worked. Glad to see you did a video about that service. P.S. Digging the outside color grading on the video. Looks fantastic.

[@mikewinston8709]

Terry Haste is just the very best…….Suyamba made my trousers for me in May. Seriously first class. Pop to Sackville Street in London……the banter in the shop is precisely the same as on screen; lovely funny charming people. Btw, Marcella fronted evening shirts are still normal for British army mess dress formal shirts.

[@teekue]

I think they skipped the Marcella front because the shirt is made of silk.

[@gemmi1]

Kirby, I'd love to know - do you get the ASMR tingles when you're being measured and fitted, or is it just us watching you? 😊

[@richardcosens4387]

I watch your videos but apart from them I know little about this subject. What I do know is that the trousers & braces combo look great. Not sure about that style of waistcoat but the jacket will also look top notch when it's completed. Superb!

[@williamfahey6066]

Hey.... Only my Tailor is allowed to touch me like that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The story about you leaving your Suit on the plane is incredible, I am happy you got it back. The one cuff on the Shirt is noticeably smaller than the other, I guess it was done on purpose so you can decide which one you prefer. I would love to have a Silk Shirt like that. I really enjoyed this video, I enjoy all of your videos. I look forward to part three. Jeff

I enjoyed the interaction when talking about the shirt. Kirby is being nice about what things he doesn't like and wants changed. Stephen is fine with it, okay, we can change all of that, it's what you want. I'm sure he has heard a lot worse.

[@indievisualimages]

[@gemmi1]

Has Terry got married yet? I'm sure it was on the cards in one of your previous videos.

[@iloverandombox]

Great camerawork & color grading

[@gavindadds4414]

Kirby goes in for the hand shake, Suyamba goes in for a little hug. Shows how much the relationship between the group has grown. The silk on the shirt was stunning and Stephen was obviously very excited to work on it. All the friendly little jibes about Kirby's weight, was that the final push for the weight loss? Terry looks very sharp in the 3 piece, so used to seeing him in just his shirt sleeves. Is there another full time cutter or is it just Terry? I know Suyamba and Molly are apprenticing on the trouser cutting but is there anyone else to do the jackets and waist coats as well?

[@RogerOThornhill]

Wait, so is Kirby heavy or skinny right now? The re-tailoring because he was too skinny video was just a couple weeks ago.

[@SmegmaBukaki69]

I really like these people. If i ever win the lottery ill ask them for a suit 💯

[@roshansamrobert]

Suyamba ia owesome !

[@GB-si7db]

I'll be visiting the Saville Row store and expect to be tailored by Suyamba. She's brilliant and modern in world of stuffiness and ole boys brigade. I wish they wouldn't refer to her as her! Shes a great advert for female tailoring... ..

[@kirbyallison]

She's exceptionally talented. But I don't know she puts up with Terry and Stephen! hahaha

[@cesarchoya6961]

Hi Kirby,how do you feel about the Duke of Edinburgh's penchant for notched lapels on his dinner jacket?

[@TimelesslyModern]

These timelines have got myself in a jumble. So for Paolo you'd lost a bunch of weight, was this fitting before or after that?! Nonetheless, I loved watching this as a bespoke clothier myself!

[@teekue]

It was probably a while ago and they will have to do lots of work after the next fitting. It will be very interesting to see how they deal with the weight loss compared to Paolo.

[@aimeecarranza4267]

Kirby - I'm wishing you well. Female perspective here. I really think that you have an incredible wardrobe from a technical and sartorial perspective - but it's the lack of sex appeal and styling that is holding you back from the next level! Personally, you looked the best in that video were jonathan sigmund styled you really well. It's 90% there but the styling is incredibly off. Sure his suits are not as nice as that of others featured on this channel - but you surely looked a lot better in that look versus grey stiff suit with an orange tie.... I'd love to see you do videos where a stylist comes in and pairs outfits for your gorgeous collection. Less stuffy funeral director or investment banker - more Steve McQueen..... We need to focus on things like color, directional lines and pattern, and texture.... and any good stylist could take your breathtaking wardrobe and style it to you.... Just my two cents...

@@user-gq4er4go1r what are you babbling about? Tom Ford shirts are made by zegna with albini fabrics. You think they pay retail prices per metre? Huntsman, Dege & Skinner are the only tailor's on the row with in-house shirting. Jermyn St is where the shirt tailor's are located, such as Turnbull & Asser. The silk of Kirby's shirt will be far superior to anything Tom Ford will use. Plus it's a dinner shirt! You really trying to compare a ready to wear shirt with bespoke? Seriously? Stick to your Tom Fraud shirt's you obviously have more money then sense. 2k for a shirt? Where do you get this rubbish from?
