Sartoria Rubinacci: The Pinnacle of Neapolitan Elegance | Kirby’s Grand Italian Tour | Kirby Allison

[@lorenzocuomo8045]

Thank you for showing the history of Neapolitan tailoring. Its richness is in the details that must not be ostentatious but will be appreciated by expert eyes. Viva Napoli and viva Rubinacci!

@@kirbyallison I would love to one day go a journey with you to one of these magnificent places with these magnificent people. I'm working on my own KZbin channel, hopefully in the future we can do a collaboration. I absolutely love suits, shoes, and craftmenship.

[@EmteeHendricks]

Kirby is the official GOAT of the Sartorial world. I don't often comment on KZbin videos but had to for this one. Absolute Legends! What a combo. Kirby Allison and Luca Rubinacci. Thank you Kirby for giving us more insight into the Sartorial world and bestowing on us a wealth of knowledge regarding the world of tailoring and shoemaking. Absolutely love this channel. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.

Great video Kirby! Please! Keep doing this, we are learning so much from you! This is my favorite channel!

Top-drawer presentation. It's such a privilege learning from great tailors courtesy of Kirby. Grazie

[@ImperiousRex241]

Terrific video. Kirby your content continues to be first class. I’ve enjoyed teaching my sons about these heritage brands. Heritage, quality, and craftsmanship is timeless. Appreciate your sartorial masterclasses. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[@kirbyallison]

Thanks so much! Happy Holidays to you and your family as well!

[@richarddr1234]

It was a stroke of genius for Mr. Allison to wear his Kent-Haste 3 button suit so Rubinacci was able to properly compare the Neapolitan style with the English style of suit tailoring.

[@shill700]

Mr Allison is a true genius!

[@teekue]

I agree, it was a great choice! It really underlines the different approaches to a suit for the same purpose.

[@kirbyallison]

More like a "stroke of luck." haha.

[@Eurovision324]

Good morning Richard actually really love you called it Neapolitan tailoring not Italian because as you soul know there is a huge difference between Naples style compared Florence Milan . Thank you 👍

[@jfar3340]

when kirby got his jacket he seemed a bit disappointed/surprised by the lapel of a real 3 buttons and the tailor immediately said that over time it'll roll into a longer lapel line (akin to a 3 roll 2). Luca immediately pointed to Kirby that he had a 3 buttons and not a 3 roll 2. You can get a 3 roll 2 in british tailoring, Redmayne for eg, and it's very elegant; a bit more italian maybe, but it's not an italian vs british feature.

[@JapanDaleCarnegie]

Well done Kirby - you keep producing high quality work on your own dime. On the other side you are a real brand in classic men’s wear. I have a daily blog called Fare Bella Figura - Make A Good Impression, Be A Sharp Dressed Man on LinkedIn and I reference what I am wearing, WHY and where it came from, so I mention Kirby Allison every blog because of the horn collar stays or Ancient Madder silk tie or the pocket square, etc that I bought from you. Please keep being a leader and beacon in a world which is sinking into the bog of informal function over form, unremarkable, sloppy looking, casual menswear. America is leading the world in the wrong direction but you are doing a great job to hold back the sludge tide.

[@kirbyallison]

Thanks so much for the kind words and support!

[@cross_key]

Wow! This is a fantastic video and everything is so clear and well explained. I would love to see you commission a suit or jacket from them and see how the full experience and result differs from the English style! I tend to wear English tailoring -- but maybe I should open my mind to Italian

[@Doc9662]

Kirby I have to say I gained so much confidence watching your videos not just in the way to dress but also accessories. I enjoy making things so I have begun making bespoke bar products and it's just nice to know that people appreciate handmade things these days

[@carolequesnel9783]

Such beautiful craftmanship that Italians know how to do and display to the world !!

[@frankebarberena]

Incredible work again Kirby. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the entirety of your travel series. Being new to this world, I’m grateful that you’d introduce me to the Rubinacci Family and their incredible heritage and work. God-willing, doors will open in the future to commission a suit from them one day. Thanks for the work you do!

I really enjoy these videos which is weird as I wear jeans and t shirts and could care less about nice clothes. Maybe it’s the personalities, the passion and enthusiasm. Anyway, keep up the good work.

[@kirbyallison]

It's great to hear you enjoy them! Maybe it’s time to take the plunge and try to up your wardrobe game!

[@silent3135]

I would have to agree. It seems like something for high society. For me to wear clothes like this would probably mean I had a substantial increase to my financial position but never say never.

[@stofenzo]

Craftmanship en family matters making good clothes. Thanks for showing us!

[@boston7228]

Thank you, Kirby. When Gennaro Rubinacci founded London House in 1932 he had never been to London but heard that London was the capital of men’s fashion. Today, 90+ years later, it’s the English Savile Row tailors and New York designers who take inspiration from Rubinacci tailors. Vincenzo Attlolini, signore Rubinacci’s head cutter at London House, is credited with inventing the deconstructed Neapolitan jacket. Mr. Attolini believed that to be elegant was to be relaxed, casual, and natural.

[@bekirbasoglu671]

Teşekkürler.

[@AngeloRosario-yt5rs]

How fortunate is Mr.Allison to be able to travel the World🌍 from Texas🐴and immerse himself into such exquisite and luxurious Sartorial Houses of the Italian and British Men's Style Houses, so others can get a glimpse themselves, of this exclusive and glamourous World! Good for him!👍I'm working on being able to do that myself someday! Here's to living a more aesthetic and stylish Life! Ciao!🤌👍

[@wisdomseekertv]

45:39 *Correction: The pleats on Kirby's trousers are called pleats. They are forward facing - which is the traditional way of pleating a uniform. And the forward facing pleats is the cleanest look and way of doing them. Hence the use of forward facing pleats on uniforms. Backwards facing pleats are the more casual and modern way of doing them. Wisdom is key here - and I personally only wear backwards facing pleats (the casual version of pleats). Thank you to Rubinacci & Kirby for a very enjoyable viewing!

[@ljr35]

Such beautiful suits - Luca's in particular, it hangs so beautifully on him. I much prefer the Neapolitan cut to the standard Saville Row version

[@dmitryka6869]

I own only one Rubinacci suit, and I have to say, it is by far my absolute favorite one due to all the little nuances. Unfortunately, most of the time it goes unnoticed by the average person.

I’m interested in the Hermès Rubinacci connection. I can not see/find any information about this from other sources I would be interested to learn more if anyone knows

[@guitar911rock]

Really love their style and cut, let you dress up but feel light and a bit more casual while still well dressed

[@countalma9800]

3-roll-2 button front is not a sign of handwork. In fact, it was first popularized by old American brands like Brooks Brothers and J. Press in the early 20th century, who mass produced all their jackets in factories. It’d be interesting to learn when exactly did the “Neapolitan” style of tailoring begin. People tend to think it’s a really old tradition, but it might actually be a relatively new tradition. If you watch old classic Italian films from the mid 20th century, you won’t see Neapolitan style jackets in them.

[@AjejeB]

You are partly correct. Neapolitan style is no older than the early 1900s (and only became popular in the 1950-60s). But also bear in mind that most of those movies you refer to were made in Rome. Roman style is completely different vs Neapolitan style.

[@701arlington]

A tour on how to experience the depths of McDonald's or any other common modern experience oc american cusine would be delicious for the eyes !

[@kirbyallison]

That is an interesting idea. Maybe we'll do that next!

That German jacket at 42:00 is 👌

[@ChinYeanOng]

Could I ask how about the new laboratory that Rubinacci recently opened in Naples? Since the work is done in the workshop above the shop

That laboratory opened after we filmed this.

Why? They all speak English. He didn't miss anything and he probably has better things to do with his time than learn new languages every time he travels.

[@teekue]

He did learn a couple of words in Spanish, you see it in some of his videos. But they kept it consistent with the translator on video. His wife is Mexican too I think. You also saw him exchange a few loose words in Italian in a previous video.
