London Savile Row Walking Tour | Huntsman v Henry Poole v Anderson & Sheppard House Style Comparison

[@hamishharper3370]

The classic menswear scene has been screaming out for content such as yours and this is one of your greatest videos to date Kirby, Congratulations!

[@kirbyallison]

Thanks! We're really trying our best to bring great content to KZbin! Really hope that this video blows up because we put so much work into it! Please share and comment!

[@brucew.5292]

Kirby Allison I think in time it will. An honest suggestion too would be another walk tour of Italian, France streets. Another idea is a comparison video of all three styles with shop visits across the board. This video is superb.

[@JohnDotBomb]

I know. Once I realized that this is essentially a shirt documentary, but it isn't made by a journalist- Kirby is a clothing professional and can interview these Craftsmen really well. I mentioned this video to my tailor and he had me send it to him. He loves clothing and its roots (he specializes in 30's and 40's). I imagine he'll share it with enthusiast customers to increase their appreciation of beautiful clothes

[@sgnt9337]

I agree, I thought Kirby did an excellent job interviewing these guys and getting them to describe and explain what they do.

[@prabhakaranc5160]

Good

[@alanwhorton5181]

Possibly one of your best videos. A testament to your reputation and relationships with some of the best tailors in the world.

[@kirbyallison]

Thank you! Yes - we were really honored to be welcomed into each of these prestigious tailoring houses!

[@JanoyCresva]

I agree. I dont wear suits nor will ever wear one but i do love learning about fashion and Kirby's channel is the only one you need for elegant traditional menswear. I've learned so much and had no idea a culture like this existed.

[@kenneth7826]

@@kirbyallison people are comfortable around you

[@davelines1323]

Agree. Pies and pints with these gentlemen was a welcome bonus. Any merchant who doesn't have what you're looking for and recommends a competitor has confidence and integrity. That gains trust every time and earns return customers and recommendations. Nice.

[@cicerchia]

Morgan said something very important about the message you're delivering. I appreciate it as well.

[@furdiebant]

Joe Morgan is so friendly and engaging - his segment was my personal highlight.

[@David-ud9ju]

Intersting how feminine his suit is though. It wouldn't look amiss on a woman. It reminded me of the New Romantic era like Boy George.

[@Si74l0rd]

Same here, no doubt that of the tailoring on display that he'd be my go to. The suit you get from him would be more a collaborative effort, you could colour outside the lines a little and he would accommodate you and expand on it, rather than rein you in to the more traditional house values on the suits metrics as I suspect many of the others would. I now have a new bucket list entry: chill out with Joe Morgan for a couple hours and get him to tailor me up a seriously sick suit ;)

[@catherinecrafts]

An evening with Joe Morgan talking about history, skill and a few stories would be an event I'd live to attend. The gentleman's manner has you at ease to listen and learn as even though the screen you feel you've met and known him personally.

[@catherinecrafts]

@@Si74l0rd I agreed, I've added it to my bucket list.

[@nuttycommuter3718]

Agreed. I have no doubt that all of the tailors visited are masters of their craft and create beautiful cloths but Joe was the one that made me want to go and see him

[@rooierakker23]

There couldn’t be a greater compliment than Joe Morgan telling you that you make the world more aware and excited about bespoke tailoring Kirby. I had a vague idea about the particular housestyles on the row but this helps very much! Would it be an idea for a video to go more in depth with the regional differences in Italian tailoring?

[@kirbyallison]

Yes - we're looking to do some more content. We have an interview with Luca Rubinacci that discuss a little bit about Italian tailoring. But would love to go more indepth about it. Joe Morgan is such a gem. I really admire that gentleman. He is so kind, open, and generous. His passion for the craft really shows through on their work. It is some of the best, most interesting stuff out there. Very young, very energetic, and very passionate.

[@Si74l0rd]

Joe Morgan made me excited about his tailoring, an utterly charming man who just ensured that if I ever have the money to buy bespoke on Saville Row or Jermyn Street that it'll be his hand my money gets put in. What an enormous amount of thought and effort invested in each customer, and, what a dude! Lol.

[@Hassannajfi]

Joe Morgan is someone who’s stories I’d like to listen to for hours. He seems so insightful and inviting

[@kirbyallison]

No question that Joe is someone that I could spend all day with. I've tremendously enjoyed my time with him and would encourage you to check out some of the other videos we've filmed with him.

[@Hassannajfi]

@@kirbyallison I have already watched them all :)

[@MattyBEightyThree]

HassanNajfi Joe really seems like a lovely guy. Outstanding interview with him!

[@reedread9300]

I like the respect shown between all the different houses and how they each have a different style.

[@ufo5974]

This is the best video on Savile Row I've seen so far. Thanks so much. As a female, I genuinely hope more houses will start to make suits for women.

[@waynepb900]

I have watched this video many times over the last two years to remind me that there is still civilization in the world. For a time I managed to get locked down in London and would sneak out to walk the Row and Jermyn St at dawn on Sunday. Kirby, thank you for being there when I was in need.

[@AlexEsJS99]

Joe's the guy I want making my suit. His energy is contagious. You can tell he loves what he does.

[@strappernick9891]

Thanks for the great tour of Saville Row. The London shops are fascinating, love the older, historic ones best.

[@albriseno2428]

Kirby, great video - perhaps one of your best in terms of content, delivery, and cinematography. Joe Morgan was correct, your videos on Savile Row, the Last Makers series, or custom shirts with Wil all serve to educate. It certainly educated me. For me, the thing I take away from this and other videos is that being well dressed is NOT the same as being a dandy. That I think is the common misconception, certainly in the US. Great job. Keep it up.

[@bartderuyck]

I agree. There's a statue of Beau Brummell, the archetypal dandy, featured in a previous video by Kirby. I believe it's near Piccadilly Arcade and it says: "To be truly elegant one should not be noticed." I always thought it was a great quote.

[@kirbyallison]

I couldn't agree with you here any more. I totally reject the idea of "dandyism." This is not what a gentleman is. True, classic style is understated, subtle, and rarely overtly noticed. It doesn't jump for attention. And it is the true mark of a gentleman.

[@russ9921]

Kirby Allison I highly recommend the biography of Beau Brummell by Ian Kelly. A brilliant (and at times racy) holiday read.

[@Si74l0rd]

To me a dandy wears clothes that don't complement each other and thus they stand out, as presumably is the idea. A well dressed gentleman however won't have vulgar two tone patent leather wingtips and absurd lapels with a tie that screams look at me. Usually with something that looks like a colourful loofah in their breast pocket. A gentleman dresses to look like there has been thought put into it on closer inspection, but doesn't overtly stand out. Of the full length wool coats I have the majority are very anonymous in looks, but high quality materials, well made and substantial. In addition to better fitting and flattering the figure, if you were to take a closer look. Similarly with a suit, although if purchasing a bespoke suit you can do almost anything, most of the differences are fairly minor. You're more likely to have working cuffs, but nobody needs to know unless you unbutton them. Although quality is evident in the fit of a coat or suit jacket, whether or not it has a floating canvas isn't evident at first look, nor is Harris Tweed from a high street fashion store tweed, though the construction and quality is obviously far superior with the Harris, not to mention the tradition and hand crafted quality. Down to silk or bamboo socks, for the wicking effect and antibacterial benefits, or merino wool for warm and comfort, which also wicks moisture away from the foot, even though it may look like any other sock. Then there's shoes, unless you have a keen eye you might not be able to see if a pair of shoes is welted, or whether it's a leather welt or a compressed fibreboard material, as it is in some surprisingly expensive shoes - Magnanni I'm looking at you. Similarly with the heels, are they stacked leather? Or again pressed fibreboard. Price doesn't always equal quality and looks are deceptive. But generally if you look closely the quality of the work is a higher level of craftsmanship and individuality, as you would expect from a bespoke product, or a benchmade ready to wear shoe. Tighter stitches, more detailing on the soles, a well constructed shoe with a welt, not something where the sole is cemented on. All of that holds true with high quality cowboy boots too. A gentleman isn't gauche, he's subtle, but substantial. His seven fold tie may be plain but it could take his weight five times over in an emergency. His shoes could be worn for months after surviving a shipwreck and wading to shore. His coat, made of cashmere is six times warmer than wool even, and the multiple layers of wool in his 3 piece beneath it, would keep him warm even when soaked to the bone. Finally a gentleman has clothes of an investment grade that can be handed down over generations if cared for and maintained. Nobody would want to inherit the clothes of the dandy. Too in your face and extroverted. A gentleman is stylish, but not on a per season basis. His clothes are more often timeless in design and constructed by experts of their trade, to last for more than that one season, this too is true of shoes. Many brands charge hundreds without delivering on the expected quality. A shoe that comes unstitched, or where the heel cap breaks is always a shoe with less quality materials and less solid construction. Even a quality light man's moccasin style loafer will be repairable and can be refurbished to almost the original standard because of the quality of the materials used and the genius of the construction, which ensures that the whole shoe is tied together, from the footbed to the midsole and gamming to the upper to the welt to the outsole. All stitched together tight and if a sole is replaced by a skilled cobbler, of which there are less than ever sadly, the welt can be restitched by hand using the original holes, allowing the soles to be replaced many times with a single welt and beyond that replacement of the welt with a new one resewn through the original holes on the upper. Obviously this can't be done as easily or as many times with low quality materials or construction and more and more brands use cemented soles which can just open up and flop off at any time, and obviously can't bear hard use. I guess that's one of the defining differences. A dandy in his loud polyester suit and Magnanni shoes needs to buy new clothes every season both to follow the trends, or styles they prefer, and those clothes don't have the substance to be worn for years day in and day out if necessary. The clothes of the gentleman are often constructed the same way as they were a century ago where even men doing moderately hard labour wore a suit. Those suits had to bear up to being worn every day or alternated day on day, give enough freedom of movement while following the style rules of the time but also stand up to hard work or many hours on horseback maybe, and to do it for years on end with maintenance and repair, which was enabled by the mode of construction. A fused suit is a different animal to a canvassed suit when it comes to repair or alteration. As times changed quality came down and price came down and we became more formal in our work wear in the lower classes and rarely wear, or even have a suit. Tailors that still make clothes using old methods that are tried and true and have been tested and tweaked over decades can't help but make a better product than a factory line fused jacket, but the handmade one will outlast the factory one twenty times over. So if you buy a well made timeless suit you'll be able to look good for decades and therefore it's worth the money, but it does cost. The dandy isn't as interested in the quality of construction, the subtleties of the tailoring or the tradition of the craft. With the price of shouty fashionable clothes being not all that much less these days off the shelf, ready to wear or full bespoke is worth the money for what you're getting. If you get one nice suit no matter how many years later you can get it out and look good for the occasion. When you open your wardrobe and look through the ten ted baker suits there that cumulatively cost the same, none of them will come close to the quality of something made by hand from quality materials if not the finest exotic materials, with bespoke the world is your oyster, you want an iPad pocket in your suit jacket? No problem. Two pockets for mobile phones, sized appropriately, no problem. A lining with a repeating print of your favourite artwork, no problem. All extroverted extras, but in subtle places and no matter your shape bespoke will flatter your figure. Elegance is the name of the game - flattering you with the best silhouette possible and using good colour theory so you don't clash, observing a few "rules" of wearing a suit and you'll look like a far better prospect to men and women alike, than the gaudy fool.

[@james-p]

Oh, my... well, after seeing all the house styles... I still can't decide! I want them all lol All the styles they showed are just gorgeous.

[@seekingtruth6822]

I absolutely enjoyed the feel of going from one shop to another. Very educational, this had a crisp sensation to it. The dialogue with very master of their craft, especially Mr. Morgan, very engaging and from reading body language, the other two seem to want approval from Mr. Morgan. You can tell, he’s the one to catch in this elegant world of suit making. Thank you Kirby.

[@travisreese7229]

Thank you for being a connector to this world. There was a time when clothing like this seemed unreachable and it seemed (by popular myth) that tailors would be unwelcoming to any but the aristocratic or ultra-rich. Now, I view it in the realm of possible to eventually own a garment like these. Further, the cutters seem to want to expand their patron base to open the larger world to the potential/value of owning a bespoke garment. Much appreciated for the time you take to educate and humanize (if not democratize) this world.

[@Walk.InHisWays]

[@kentishmale1969]

Absolutely fascinating to listen to the different tailors. I was lucky enough to have a bespoke suit made in the late 1980s i was 18 by a taylor who had recieved his apprenticeship on Savile Row. I chose the cloth, the cut, the way i wanted it to look, everything. Cost me £450, which at the time was a decent amount of money but still a lot less than I'd have been charged if I'd gone to one of the many houses on the Row. It was a wonderful suit, that I've still got but unfortunately it doesnt fit these days.

[@LowdenFretter]

Outstanding film Kirby. You really outdid yourself this time old chap.

[@dionlindsay2]

Oh darn and double darn. I was looking forward to going to Chester Barrie at the far end of Savile Row for another off the peg suit when this COVID stuff is over. But it was to close this January (2020). I know it's been 9 years since I bought a couple of suits there, but he treated me so well. An example: two years after buying a suit there I closed the car door on the buttons and tore a piece of material as well. I phoned CB in Savile Row. No problem, bring it in next time you're passing and we'll take care of you. When I did he repaired it by hand, replaced the button and tried it back on me to convince me (he knew anyway). We chatted a bit longer, I reached for my wallet and opened my mouth to ask how much. A smile and a shake of the head. Sir wasn't used to Savile Row ways yet. He let me out and wished me well. I want that again.

Excellent video by Kirby, immaculately dressed and so eloquent and knowledgeable. He is definitely a "cut above" your normal type of guy of that age. I'm surprised Liz & Phil haven't given him an invite for afternoon tea in Buck House. I'm not a suit wearing type, T shirt & shorts and hiking boots if I'm down in London on holiday, and do sometimes wonder what it must be like to go around dressed smartly. Yes, I have been down Savile Row and Jermyn Street and admired the shoes and clothes but that is as far as it got.

It brought back such happy memories of, as a young trainee manager of a certain famous London hotel that is centuries old, sent me to a number of these here Tailors to be fitted out for my morning suites, dinner suits and my tails jackets. What an experience. You together with a few others presenting here on You Tube have encouraged me to re-group and organise my wardrobe, to get rid of the "Off the peg" rubbish and re-invest in quality made garments again. It is so true the feeling of a good, well made item from any one of these tailors, that sits just right, so comfortable you hardly notice that you are wearing it. Thankyou again so much.

truly gents ! fantastic tour

Kirby, Thank you so much for all of the effort you put into this channel. It is a delight to watch. I enjoyed the Savile Row walking tour. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to have bespoke suits made by Anderson and Sheppard, Henry Poole, Dege and Skinner, Huntsman and Gieves and Hawkes, as well as a pair of bespoke wing tips by George Cleverley. My favorite suit (I love them all) is a Gieves and Hawkes double breasted suit made by head cutter Davide Taub. He is a genius and he will be making me another one soon. If you get the chance, he is a great person and artisan, and is worth a visit.

Just found this channel, love it! Learning so many things i never knew about. The suit fittings on your other videos has real ASMR potential

Great video! I really like the cloth of the garment that Mr Carnera used to demonstrate the Huntsman house cut. Looks a bit of a mixture of navy and grey in tweed.

I liked Joe Morgan the most. He seems like he’s the most passionate and his sense of style is amazing.

Fabulous video. As someone who felt knowledgeable about mens suits I just recoeve a priceless education. Hope to connect with you to learn more. Kind regards.

These guys are in the inner elite circle...

gentleman's gazette's also pretty cool. This has a different style, though.
