Italy’s King of Ties: E Marinella | Naples, Italy | Kirby’s Grand Italian Tour

[@paullunkes8383]

This channel is quite effective therapy for a world gone mad

[@kirbyallison]

You're too kind! Your support helps us film this content! Thank you!

[@wisdomseekertv]

Hear, hear!

[@cryptocreep906]

Kirby you have become the best resource for men’s fashion on KZbin. Really impressive

[@EJSNJ]

Maurizio Marinella is a charming, gracious man. Such joy and care in his manner, and such beautiful work. Bellissimo!

[@giovannifranzese]

I remember, I met him at Le Bon Marche in Paris, exposing his beautiful Marinella ties. I didn’t know he was Mr. Marinella. He was extremely kind, available and giving me his mobile phone to contact him for a tie with a color which he didn’t have there in Paris. I then called the shop and ordered the tie. I received few days after, in Paris with a beautiful box and package. Amazing experience. It’s not only the tie, so beautiful. As he said in this video, it’s about the special care of Marinella’s client. He deserves all the infinite success and respect. Thanks for this kind gift to the world.

[@paoloparadiso4786]

[@coffeerun7684]

Kirby, you're simply the BEST on KZbin. Amazing

[@kirbyallison]

You’re too kind!

[@teakcore5261]

Great video! The Marinella ties tie a stunning knot, not too slim nor too wide, and the dimple comes out impeccably everytime.

[@domi7171]

Love what you do at Kirby Allison, …anyone working on the channel. Great work. Making a better world together. 😉

[@kirbyallison]

Much appreciated!

[@teekue]

I love Marinella. The Milan shop is also worth a visit. Highly recommended. Their archives are full of absolute gems.

[@teekue]

As someone who speaks a little Italian and is still learning it is greatly appreciated that Maurizio makes a point to speak loudly and clearly without much dialect. He is very easy to understand! Would have loved if Kirby didn't say "Marinellow" all the time. 😉

[@kirbyallison]

Watching Maurizio work the shop was like watching theater... he is incredible. I can't think of another shopkeeper that I've ever seen so graceful and fluid in their craft.

[@peterbartow7785]

That tie was made for that suit. Excellent video!

[@jankieft7675]

What a proud man Mr. Marinella is, and he has every reason to!

[@christiandulaney1638]

Im in medical device sales (orthopedic trauma), and we always have at least 1 international conference for orthopedic surgeons here in the US. I will say, unequivocally, that the Italian doctors that attend are the VERY BEST DRESSED men at the conference. Its something to see. They just have the very best style! Spain is a distant second, and the nordic guys dress well. Italian docs are just on a different level

[@kirbyallison]

You are spot on! Italian style is something else.

[@DrBob0910]

Well done presentation. We are touring Italy in November and would enjoy visiting this shop. Thank you for sharing!

[@organicfoodonly]

Bravo Mister Allison wonderful reportage 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@markbennett6367]

That was excellent.. Thank you for sharing with us....

[@kirbyallison]

My pleasure!

[@kookooo16]

Magnificent turn when the sample matches your outfit .. Simply beautiful video🎉

[@kirbyallison]

It was fate. The story of that suit is something from a Harry Potter movie…. Literally jumped off the hanger at Hornets Vintage in London and right onto my shoulders. You can watch the video of me discovering it. One our best of the entire channel!

[@TheNunakun]

Kirby, your ability to listen sincerely even with a language barrier and the dynamic of boucing between speaker and translator/guide is very endearing. Genuine, good energy-exchange throughout. That social skill is something I lack.

[@kirbyallison]

I was mesmerized…

[@jamesallison4875]

His complementi for your vestiti was wonderful.

[@ludovicofusco1404]

In my home town. The pinnacle of neapolitan craftsmanship ❤

[@XboxTheBeatboxer]

Thank you for asking them to show those printing blocks. Interesting.

[@kirbyallison]

Yes! I would really love to see some ties reprinted using wooden blocks.

[@Frank-rw4hx]

Another great video keep them coming. You are helping to show how men should dress.

[@kirbyallison]

More to come!

[@kingair350]

Awesome video Kirby

[@DanielRiera]

The fact that Kirby seems to cherish his secondhand cream suit despite having having all the bespoke tailoring one could want gives a thrift hunter hope.

[@nickkambitis5340]

Very interesting. ❤

[@AlistairHig]

Kirby is an inter-continental treasure.

[@Walker983]

This is a Homerun, Kirby . . . we all get emotional about ties ! 😺😺😺

[@ColoradoShirePiper]

Very awesome video I'd love yo go to Italy and have some real Italian coffee and enjoy a country made toscano cigar along with it

[@wolfgangkleiber5759]

Marinella ties are my guilty pleasure. I have around two dozen of them - mostly seven and nine folds.

[@kirbyallison]

A pleasure indeed!

[@SvedskiKuvar]

Kirby Allison is a being of light.

[@johnrobinson6112]

Lovely tie!

[@BK-mz6oz]

Would be great if you make a beautiful Tie Video at Charvet Paris. This is a great Video!!! All the best

[@kirbyallison]

Maybe one day! Charvet is on my bucket list and I work on them to allow us to do a video every time I’m in Paris…

[@teakcore5261]

Indeed it is time! He has been a bespoke customer for years.

[@vicentegregorio6476]

Great video, Kirby! You are a master. Are you going to start selling Marinella ties? It would be great! Nice tie you got…

[@davidlibianchi3618]

beautiful Marinella!

[@BellaC-l8p]

The shop owner and the makers really show their passion for making ties. So sad that we are counting down to the day that craftmanship like this fading away.

[@kirbyallison]

There isn't another tie shop in the world like E. Marinella.

[@ronhayes3493]

Mr Marinella, what a sweet man. That is a true gentleman, you can tell he lives to make his clients feel special, from kings to the person that walks in his shop.

[@teekue]

I'll let you in on a secret. The sewing and cutting of a tie isn't really that difficult. It's something a beginner could learn in a couple of days and there isn't much secrecy to the whole process. The problem is the dwindling silk printing industry. It will always be possible to make ties but at some point we might run out of the fabrics for it because there ain't no demand. It will probably take a while though because of brands like Hermes and their scarves. It will get more expensive though as the niche gets smaller and smaller!

[@JuanSanchezGuerra]

@@kirbyallison What about Charvet or Le Noeud Papillon?

[@alemassa6632]

Now I feel like buying a Marinella tie.

[@123dorias]

Nice episode! Nice insight into tie making, with nice anecdotes/stories! I noticed this was the vintage suit from an episode in London. I now wonder whether the suit received any alterations (eg sleeve length, etc) to appear so spot on... Best!

[@kirbyallison]

Amazingly the only alternation was needed to the trouser waist. Otherwise, it fit perfectly. I enjoy this suit so much that I actually had it taken apart and the trimmings replaced. The thread was rotting. But nothing that a good Savile row tailor couldn’t take care of and I’m indebted to Dege and Skinner for doing the work. Wish I could find the rest of this gentlemen’s wardrobe!! No doubt he was an interesting man!

[@angelocanessa5140]

"marinello" lol at 3:39

[@ralphpal]

Very nice

[@richardrubert1359]

Good video. I have a few Marinella ties, but need more. I do have a question, why is the tail of your tie sticking out the bottom? It that a new trend? I have always made sure the tail is completely covered.

[@teekue]

Sprezz

[@monochromebluess]

Ah this is Kirby showing off his Italian style - Sprezatura. Simply it’s just quality craftsmanship and tradition…

[@kirbyallison]

No... the answer is that the ties are cut for a more "American" low-waisted trouser, vs the high-waisted ones I wear. So, in order for the large blade to not be half-way down my crotch, the back blade is longer. I need to have my ties recut shorter. Going to work on this this weekend...

[@michaelcarr304]

@@kirbyallison Amateurish - especially walking into Marinella like that... 😂

Most stylish? The guy coming out of the safari jacket.Safari suits are well overdue for a comeback- I well remember baby blue, in rayon with sparks when you took it off.

[@Vancouver.BC.1]

Grazie tante

[@nogaroblu9321]

Why is the back of Kirby’s tie longer than the front in the first interview?

[@StefanoTatti]

I really love the content, for the future I would cut the translation next time, those are dead times. The subtitles are more than enough, and have to listen the same concept repeated it’s a bit to much.

[@kirbyallison]

More easily said than done but thank you for the feedback!

[@nickb193]

You are a breath of fresh air in comparison to click bait garbage and hyped speech that is 95% of KZbin content

[@Video-ku3rg]

Interesting to see my birth year’s pattern. Kirby is lucky with the 1983’s.

[@kirbyallison]

There you go! I bet you could order one online!

[@bongrenaysisyen6898]

Good show. I’d like to know your take on 7 fold ties!

[@grassfedcontent]

That 1983 design looks like the pajamas used in the movie "The Mask"

[@paulmcgee1867]

I think they mean pattern and not drawing. Workshop and not laboratory. Lovely shop and story

[@generalgrievous6689]

Can anyone identify the knot Kirby used for his yellow tie throughout the video?

[@kirbyallison]

Old Bertie - we have a video on how to tie it

[@generalgrievous6689]

I bought my 1st Marinella tie back in 1999 and happily another I would have been the youngest professional wearing a classical tie in Melbourne back then😉

[@garymarlowe6851]

All this talk of sartorial elegance and yet, when it comes to talking ties, you can't tie your own one correctly! What must Maurizio have been thinking?

[@kirbyallison]

I’m still just a popper from Texas…

[@guitar911rock]

Kirby, great videos always. I just really dislike the back of the tie being longer than the front. You goo through all this effort to have a bespoke suit fit perfect and To me it looks like you forgot to get the right length of tie, like a child borrowing their fathers tie that's too big.

[@kirbyallison]

haha. I know. I need to have all my ties recut now that I'm wearing high-waisted trousers. I've already sent some back. But I need to go through the rest of my closet. Drives me crazy, also.

[@Megawindo]

@kirbyallison Actually u can make a different knot,one more elaborate that consume more length, and u solve partially the problem.

[@kirbyallison]

@ I’ve tried a four in hand. Still doesn’t do it.

[@christiandulaney1638]

@@kirbyallison Oh! Interesting! I can see why that would make a difference. Regardless, the entire outfit was stunning. The tie was the perfect addition

Mainella: where you go to learn how to dress like a gentleman!

[@kirbyallison]

Ha! Woops! You’re right! Surprised I missed that one. The John Hancock is unmistakable.

[@aar498]

They gave away ties to a variety of heads of state of the world and received in return a thank you note. It is quite different than having them as clients.

[@kirbyallison]

There are a lot of people to try to give me gifts I wouldn’t accept… Marinella has one of the best products in the world and the authenticity and quality to back them up. I was grateful to accept mine and am a proud customer having bought several for close friends, including both do the Sahakians.

[@aar498]

@kirbyallison I was not discussing the quality of their products. I am myself a client of Marinella. Among other things, they offer wider ties, which are almost impossible to find elsewhere anymore. I was just pointing out a typical Napolitan trait :)

[@Azazel99963]

Prince Charles buys them….

[@Azazel99963]

Sorry, now King!

[@paoloparadiso4786]

change the translator he riuned it

[@kirbyallison]

Ha. He was the best! I couldn’t have asked for a better ambassador of Italian culture and style to accompany me on this trip! We had a blast!

[@ralphpal]

Does that guy understand English but not able to speak it?.

[@IntrinsicRoots]

I’m assuming Kirby’s editors are editing out the parts where his translator is translating for him. I’d guess to make the conversation sound more seamless and fluid rather than a repetitive back and forth between the 3 of them.

[@kirbyallison]

bingo. Filming in dual language is actually quite difficult. And editing it is even moreso.
