I am an apprentice bespoke shirtmaker, everytime I want to feel alive I come back to this video, I definitely lost count of how many times I watch it. What Wil is doing is exactly what and how I want to do it, paying exaggerating attention to the tiniest details trying to get as close as possible to perfection.

Perfect description! Tbh the awkwardness is one of the things I love. Kirby has the content on point, but when I first found his channel (from ‘The Elegant Oxford’, who in turn I found from ‘Trenton and Heath’, who I found from ‘Rose Anvil’ - love diving into the KZbin well!). I actually thought that it was satire, making fun of this world at first. I think it was a video about a hat, and the preview tile had Kirby with what looked like a cowboy hat, and a wonky grin. I thought ‘this deserves a view!’. Anyway, now I’m a convert, I love Kirby’s stuff, it’s content rich and he’s so sincere, charming and respectful, how can you not like him!! ‘Oblivion tier’ AMAZING!

This shirtmaker takes his job seriously...very knowledgeable. I have several custom made dress shirts and I would caution choosing the floating (or canvassed) collar/cuffs option. I did on my first couple shirts. The tailor kept suggesting fused as this tailor is suggesting to Kirby, but I resisted and choose floating canvas - bad move! I will only get well made fused collars on all my custom shirts in the future. The problem is they are a huge pain in the a** to get cleaned. You have to send them away to a special shirt cleaner to launder and press properly. Modern "local" cleaners do not have their equipment set up for this type of collar/cuffs and they get sharp pressed-in wrinkles that have to be hand pressed out (with extra cost) and still does not look as good as fused. Also the shirt presses that are used are not tuned heat wise to canvass interlinings which can cause other issues like shrinkage.

Talk about fluctuation in size, in mid life my size was the same for 10 years but in latter years after putting on some weight my size fluctuates every 6 months. It becomes aggravating as I loose weight and put it back but never loose it all. Really enjoyed the way the collar lays across the shoulder and also close to the neck without pulling away..didn’t notice if the collar was button down, my preference.

Pattern making and fittings all the same, regardless of finish level.

Interesting in regards to the comment on darts. I wear an RTW brand that has zero darts and is shaped for fit. The fronts are flat so a not to disturb the pattern and the back is curved inwards around the waist, which can disturb the pattern a bit at the seam. Sometimes I buy a larger size to clear my chest and neck so that that I can wear a tie or for causal, I can size down because I would never do the collar button up or wear a tie on a casual shirt. The larger sized shirts need to be tailored in and my tailor does a new seam from the bottom up into the armpit, no darting. In regards to an RTW shirt being any good, if it fits... take it.

Hi kirby! I have a question on bespoke shirts. How significant is the difference in a bespoke shirt compared to an off the rack shirt and a made to measure shirt. I only have made to measure shirts (and some off the rack) at this point. I'm wondering, a bespoke suit is definitely worth it if you can afford it because of the large number of parameters that determine the fit of a suit. In a shirt, you have fewer parameters to control to give the perfect it. How far is this true, and if it is, do you think a bespoke shirt (with starting prices at £150, compared to a Charles Tyrwhitt off the rack at £22.95) is worth the investment for someone just getting into fine meanswear?
@kirbyallison
@kirbyallison 6 жыл бұрын
I’d say that the difference is, indeed, less with a bespoke shirt. It primarily comes down to fit and styling. If you can find a RTW or MTM shirt that fits you well and you’re happy with styling details, then save the money. I’ve always had my shirts made. Beginning with MyTailor, which is a very high-end MTM program. Full selection of fabrics, great prices, and I could have them made to my particular preferences. I then went to Charvet. Primarily because of the experience. Charvet is one-of-a-kind. A sartorial pilgrimage. Their work is masterful and I appreciate and admire the craftsmanship every time I wear one (I’m wearing one today). Very expensive, but for me worth it. I’ve got other friends that are equally good dressers as I that are happy to wear Charles Trywhitt. They fit good enough, all he wears is white, and the prices is right.

Kirby, what do you think of the rise of performance dress shirts? Shirts with elements like stretch, anti-odor/wrinkle, moisture wicking etc. I've had a few MTM performance shirts lately, usually something like a 97% cotton with a technical/stretch fabric. I like how they can be a lot more fitted and yet move with me whereas a 100% cotton usually must have extra space to move. I also like how I don't need to be as careful about keeping them in good condition as cleaning and pressing them isn't as crucial. Thanks for another great video. Wil is a legend.

Kirby Allison Luca Avitabile of Napoli and Simone Abbarchi of Florence. I’m English myself but I prefer how the Italians structure their collars! How they are willing to make just one shirt if you wish and I think they are unbeatable at the price point. If you want a long sleeve Polo to work with a sport coat they can make a collar that doesn’t collapse under a jacket. They are stylish versatile and willing to listen to what the customer wants instead of talking down to him as I’ve experienced with off Row tailors. Generally Savile Row is so expensive that even people on six figure income baulk at the prices.

He was some geeky city white collar worker who miraculously became a shirt maker and just travels the world with a tape measure and a pattern to hand. Im a Fashon designer and Tailor and I do all the hard work as a one man band. I drape on my customers the shirts as that's more accurate and follows the natural figuration of each customer. If you closely look at your wil Whiting shirt he's fitting on you, you can clearly see how unclean it is by the armscye at front and back and sleeve is dragging and not clean...His darts on the back is a quick and easy fix to shaping the back which is used in most off the peg shop manufactured shop shirts... You would not expect your jacket at back to have a dart!! I'm developing a centre back seam for shirts and a 2 piece sleeve or semi fitted sleeve that wil follow the natural angle from the elbow and a higher crown that will fit the arm better and more becoming than shirt sleeves like alll shirt makers use including wil Whitind which does not really look good on you.

Also the thicker fabrics function is for it to not look as "See through" in a sense. If youg et what im refering to.

I enjoyed watching the tailor make adjustments, seeing his passion for his craft. Perhaps a different way of going about the video would be to show the alterations being made, and then have the tailor reflect on the type of adjustments, and reasons with his client in depth then? In some places it felt a little uncomfortable to watch, still enjoyable, and informative. I just found attention being diverted from the task to observations were a little distracting. I think the collar adjustment while on the client was such a lovely thing, and the collar height in the front in relation to his Adams apple ( not achievable on paper), it's the professional attention to detail that helps make a truly customized garment, which I am sure looks immaculate on completion! I need to watch the others in the series.

So having one leg or arm longer than the other. It’s usually a spine issue. For example I always go to a chiropractor before I get measured because I had several incidents where one arm was longer one time. The next time my right was longer. Now if you’ve had fractures or a rotator injury you may be permanently longer on one arm being it won’t reattach exactly how you were born.
