I swear this guy is like the gentleman's version of literally everything even Top Gear.

God Bless the internet...

Kirby's passion for his subjects is infectious, but the video production quality is simply over the top. The best that exists on KZbin.

[@kirbyallison]

Thank you! We put a tremendous amount of work (and money) into both the filming and editing of our channel videos! It is a passion!

[@paulff3]

Kirby, Another great installment. Love how much of it speaks for itself with no narration. You could see the jacket was already there during the fitting - nitpick.

[@kirbyallison]

I could sit and watch these tailors work for hours!

[@PurpleSectors]

🥰 With these videos, you are making me dream of another life.

[@liamkeating1883]

Kirby, what a beautiful experience, people actually dressing very smart in keeping with the very elegant cars .We have seen Simon a few times and each time he comes across as a very down to earth and knowledgeable gentleman.

[@maxine2798]

I’ve been a few times. It’s just brilliant. You’re surrounded by well dressed petrolheads. I’ve driven there in my old Jensen but the best way is on a motorcycle to bypass the queues. Broadcast quality video. Thank you

[@lifeofaking8467]

I'm not a car guy, but considering this channels emphasis on craftsmanship, I really appreciate those cars even more now!

[@jcnix3378]

Really phenomenal production - seeing the collaboration with Simon and Henry Poole is next level.

[@garthbuck4274]

Well done, Kirby. So enjoyable. Cheers

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

Gee Kirbs, your content is expanding just beautifully 😊 What a pleasure to tour the DK world with you and experience Goodwood in a unique and historically focused way... AMAZING, hello 👋 Hames 😊😊😊😊

[@JustinHEMI05]

Watching that cutter work was mesmerizing.

[@1993j]

That tweed is outstanding!

[@anshulsimhadri]

The Music in your videos is exquisite!!

[@AndySouvlakis]

Great filming and editing. Hats off!

[@kirbyallison]

Thank you!!

[@jakstrike1]

This is gonna be the big time series. Well done Kirby

[@sandyschannel6917]

Haven't watched the channel in a while but this is something great to return to!

[@kirbyallison]

Welcome back!

[@johannesjungeblut1180]

Love that little detail wearing a tie with cars and steering wheels in this costumer conservation.

[@EveryDaySince]

It's a good series idea. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@davemedlyn071]

It’s only a matter of time before you move to the untied kingdom. You must be keeping ba in business. Can’t wait for the next slice of this series. Great content, production and topic Regards from Ireland Dave

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

WOOOWWW what a fabulous Tweed... 👌

[@clivejohnson9515]

Kirby, you Are the gift that keeps on giving!👍❤

[@superfast30]

Yet another stellar production, Kirby!

[@kirbyallison]

More to come!

[@spidersinspace1099]

This is a wonderful series Kirby. Can't wait to see the next episode. The production quality of the videos is top notch and worthy to be seen on a TV special.

[@pauldorsi109]

My God, that is a beautiful suit!

[@kingyeung914]

Bravo. Great video as always

[@nudaveritas6322]

The HOLY grail of automotive.

[@paulmcgee1867]

And fun remember too that 90% of all the visitors have gone to some effort to look in period

[@truthwisdom]

Amazing video Kirby!!

[@darrylrajamae4855]

Thankyou for this video I love seeing the old school clothing cars it's nice to see a touch of class in the clothes and the cars I do love a maunal trans mission in a car

[@melvincain5012]

"Autumn" dear sir, AUTUMN!!

[@WW-oh5to]

Damn Kirby deserves 10x the number of subscribers he has currently.

[@kirbyallison]

I couldn't agree more! Make sure you like, subscribe, and SHARE!

[@cyrilhudak4568]

The trick to increase subscription is to embed english close caption into the upload to KZbin. This allows the end user to use Google Translate in what ever language they speak. Ask Life of Boris if you don't believe me.

[@kirbyallison]

@@cyrilhudak4568 I’ll look into that!

[@ryanmead3939]

Amazing mr Allison 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nigelbarker8726]

Perhaps a quick trip to William Whiteley or Ernest Wright in Sheffield to see how a pair of those shears are made.

[@kirbyallison]

We've actually thought about taking a trip out there to do this. Would be a fun trip, for sure! The challenge is that with as short as my trips to London are, it is always very difficult to get outside of London proper.

[@TheArtofStyle916]

wow, incredible!

[@kirbyallison]

Thank you! This series will only get better as the episodes progress!

[@joshsonsiadek9951]

I never forget the day when I was 5 yrs old and heard my dad say to my mom, “I will not spend $300 on a dress that I could do a better job making myself.” I remember my mother crying and thinking my dad was insane, and my dad actually being serious at the same time. Long story short. My dad measured my mother. He bought fabric. He drew and cut out a pattern. He then traced the pattern on the fabric much like the tailor and cutter do in these videos. I remember him doing several fittings with her, and he made several adjustments. When he finished my mother cried again because it was the best fitting dress she’s ever had. Mom and I said, “what in the hell just happened?” Was dad Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein in another life or something? I called my grandmother. We told her dad was some kind of tailoring genius. She laughed and told us, “ your father had all his clothes tailored made from raw materials as a kid. He was both a tailoring and upholstery apprentice throughout his high school and college years. The dude spent 50 yrs being a CPA, but he had a love for tailoring clothes. I was absolutely amazed by this kind of talent and skill. These videos really remind me of my dad when I was a kid. Crazy stuff!

[@kirbyallison]

That’s an amazing story! Lol. How have you not told it before?!?

[@joshsonsiadek9951]

I don’t know, but out of all his amazing accomplishments throughout his career, nothing impressed me more than his ability to tailor clothing. People just don’t understand the amount of skill this takes. 😂

[@robdenker5805]

Where did he obtain his vest coat?

[@sumittiwari1387]

Good news is that Mr.Alex cooke is back to work ..i wish him very healthy life ❤❤😊😊

[@kirbyallison]

Well, actually he isn’t. This was unfortunately filmed before his health deteriorated to the point he has to retire. You can actually see the progression of ALS between the measurements and fitting.

[@JustinHEMI05]

​@@kirbyallison thank you for the update. Ok keep him in my thoughts.

[@billbynon9839]

Kirby, noticed the tux on a mannequin at Poole& co. Some of us would love to see a whole series on bespoke formal wear both U.S. and U.K. please.

[@stevetarrantwheelygoodmovi9113]

Great video, interesting comparison of standards and styling between the two industries. Only let down is spelling the late Stirling Moss' name incorrectly, it's with an "I" rather than an "E". Attention to detail.

[@alexgray6082]

For next year, can you please help Johnny Smith and Richard Porter with their wardrobe choices! I would love to see a colab with Smith & Sniff.

[@WO458]

Could we get the name of the cloth?

[@trevorbain4637]

This is the Kirby Allison Show. I'm campaigning for bring back Kirby as he's been demoted to a voice over 😂

[@twill240sx]

We need a proper "proper" counter in Kirbys vids

[@paulmcgee1867]

Fall sir? What is that? All those Brits living American culture.

[@RMeditz-vv3wj]

thi guy is living in 40s in 2023

[@JLBodhran]

I'd like to clarify that you don't *have* to dress up in period attire for the Goodwood Revival. It's encouraged, but definitely not mandatory. I'd say about 60% of spectators don't dress up.

[@zhongyiwo9738]

Funny to see people coming out all kinds of excuses to buy clothes😂😂😂 Nike will help perform better

[@paulmcgee1867]

You should go and see Goodwood for yourself.

[@kareem199928]

Or it’s just maintaining tradition…
