The Most Stylish Way To Stay Warm | MyTailor Fitting | Kirby Allison

Kirby Allison is again joined by Joe Hemrajani of MyTailor, this time to conduct a first fitting on his very first bespoke Top coat. This Topcoat will be a dark navy, made from wool, in a double breasted style, probably the most stylish way for Kirby to stay warm this coming Winter.
Based in Southern California, but travelling worldwide for fittings, Joe Hemrajani first began making shirts for Kirby almost 8 years ago. After a successful first suit, Kirby was keen to continue their fantastic working relationship. At this price range, Jo Hemrajani is easily one of the best options out there for incredible quality bespoke suits.

I’ve been a loyal follower for a while, but the videos are getting harder to watch. If you’re going to invite these guys on, please let them talk without interrupting them every other word.

[@TrojanMars1]

Caleb Shipley I couldn’t have said if any better. I’ve noticed the aforementioned a few times before as of late, and similarity, have found these videos a bit disrespectful to his guest (ie conversations with others while polishing shoes). Above all, he’s coming off extra pretentious.

[@crisyorke1328]

I don’t think so. He just wants to talk about the steps before Joe gets down to business.

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

I do have to agree, still love the videos but your right.

[@kirbyallison]

Caleb Shipley Thanks for the feedback! I’m learning as we go!! Will definitely keep this in mind. I try to keep things flowing by leading the conversation. A lot of these guys are nervous in front of the camera. But easy to fix next time!!

[@thecurioustailor7200]

Caleb Shipley agree

[@brightspark7523]

It’s a good video when you let the expert speak. The main attraction is your guest.

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

Duuude those last two pieces we're freaking awesome!

[@varun009]

I wish Mr. Hemrajani would start his own KZbin channel detailing the work involved. If subscribe in a heartbeat.

[@crisyorke1328]

Wow, the jacket hybrid looks great! I, too always wear a jacket or a coat with my shirt, or sweater on. I just need that additional layer.

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

I think it would be interesting to see the first initial measuring session. I would like to see the process from the beginning of a bespoke garment.

[@kirbyallison]

TheDreamtimezzz Joe already had my measurements from some of the other garments he’s made for me. Take a look at some of the older videos we’ve done together!

[@Rei2140]

Coat is coming along nicely! I will be visiting the My Tailor folks in a few weeks for my first shirt order with them. I will mention that you sent me. I have a few general questions: When buying bespoke how is the payment made? Do you pay everything up front, or half up front and half on completion? What is the protocol? Second question: Who are your style influencers? I have heard you mention your Grandfather several times. Is there someone else whose aesthetics you admire? Keep up the great content! Steve

[@daveg9000]

KA, It's true...you interrupt your guest too much...

[@crisyorke1328]

Kirby and Joe have GREAT chemistry!

[@kirbyallison]

Cris Yorke I’ve known Joe now for almost 10 years. Love that man.

[@crisyorke1328]

Yes, indeed. I can see you and Joe are in so much agreement and mutual respect. Just like good friends.

[@sheemnewera]

Kirby : so tell me about the fabric ? Guest: (Kirby interrupts) Kirby: I KNOW YOU LOVE to use wool from France, important to the United States ... Guest: definitely

[@juanjosefermin3682]

Here in the Caribbean 🇩🇴 we cannot use over coats but I would love to have a DB suit made by Mr Hemrajani. Very professional and elegant

[@Iberian247]

That shirt jacket is a great idea. It could be worn over a tee on the way to the gym, or with a shirt and tie at church.

[@simonmoses4023]

When buying an overcoat, always go one size up from your suit size.....kind of a no brainer! Beautiful looking coat and navy blue is just a perfect colour. Love the overshirt.......and I could tell you liked it!

[@PBMS123]

If it's an overcoat, it should be sized properly, that your size fits over you and your coat.

[@My_Work_Here_is_Done..]

I agree with the others here about talking over people. I stopped watching at 3:40 as it’s too frustrating. I want to hear insider words of wisdom from the guy being ‘interviewed’ or carrying out the work, but you talked over the tailor telling him what’s important with tailoring!

[@webestilo]

Congrats! Your tailor is charming.

[@ramizabdulahad8419]

So happy that they are coming to Vancouver. I'll be the first customer

[@Avenlock]

I don’t see a problem with the approach Kirby takes when interviewing craftsmen ; he’s documenting the consultation and as such he has the right to ask as many questions as needed; it’s also important to note that he is working as a mediator to help illustrate the why’s behind each aspect of the garment and process, this is relevant when working with craftsmen as often the process is so natural to them that they struggle to interpret/articulate the importance/limitations behind each step. Ps: i work in the menswear industry and my input is based on my experience alone. Thank you Kirby for sharing these videos with us.

[@PBMS123]

Yes, but he's not listening to him. He's asking all these questions and then either answers them himself, whilst interrupting him; or he doesn't even bother listening to what he says, and just wants to ask the questions, before realising they've been answered.

[@kylevogelgesang9996]

Kirby is a full fledged twatdoll. He's so full of himself his breath smells of shite. I would hate to be a friend. Kirby: How did you day go? Kirby: I'll tell you how your day went Friend:

[@pedinurse1]

LOVE LOVE your videos, I can give my husband some ideas, maybe he will listen, and I must say you are very distinguished looking.

[@countalma9800]

What is the name of the type of military-style jacket that you try on at the end of the video? It's so beautiful and practical! Thank you!

[@thomasbailey4139]

Just wanted to say keep it up!

[@AlessandroAime]

I’ve been enjoying your video for the past two years and I have to thank you for many things I’ve learned about shoe care and sartorial clothings. One thing I noticed in recent times is the abundance of superlatives in your titles you have been using lately, compared to the older ones. I’m aware that KZbin-and on a broader scale, nowadays’ medias and people-prefers click-baiting and catchy titles to sober ones. Tho, in my humble opinion, a gentleman shouldn’t need to follow “degrading” trends to make himself more desirable. In a web world where many people shout and are excessive in order to be unique and be noticed, sobriety and moderation are two lost qualities that really make someone unique. As a well known proverb-especially after the Kingsman movies-says: manners maketh man. That being said, I look forward to your next videos with great interest as always.

[@quen7770]

Love the ‘special’ handshake at the end. Mason?

[@angelalane8660]

Yes,I believe so. I've seen him do that same particular handshake in a few videos. 🤔

[@bkfreshkickz]

In the beginning as well. Prob is a mason. I don't really care but it's a cool lil tidbit lol

[@joshuaalbert2570]

Kirby, you seem to have a similar width to the lapels on most of your suit jackets that I find very appealing. What is the approximate width of the lapels on the suit you’re wearing in this video?

[@ghostygallagher]

Kirby get a belt fitted on the back of the shirt jacket so you can tie it, really smart item, the overcoat will be dope when finished

[@kirbyallison]

Gerry Gallagher I’ve needed a good overcoat for years... really excited to see this come together. I think joe is back either late October or early November

[@my_key]

How do you care for your top coat? I find I wear through fabrics in about a year or two.

[@pedrom1619]

Needs a revisit!

[@MauricXe]

I love the jacket at 19:30

[@tiowu]

Love the shirt jacket! Is that tailor-made? Do you sell it on your website?

[@raymondsinah8328]

Can you please let me know. If 1. trench coat can be fully canvassed? 2. Bush jacket/safari jacket can be fully canvassed?

[@TigerDavidson]

Could you explain why a Blue overcoat is more formal than black?

[@aremhewcouture9472]

How can I get a sample booklet like this swatch in the video

[@mrpeel3239]

Would be interesting to show how these tailors travel with their garments for the fittings. Not an easy feat of logistics.

[@atlanticking2315]

how much was the whole bespoke process?

[@TheEldarGuy]

This may be a rude question: Do you purchase these products? If you do, I totally understand you trying to combine purchasing and presenting. I've noticed on occasion your reaction to certain pieces, so I'm trying to figure out if you some skin in the game.

[@fukangi]

Does somebody know the name of the Song at the end of the video?

[@bruce6126]

I've got a video suggestion. I know you videos are geared towards more formal men's wear, but I'd be very interested to see you do a review or a discussion on sneakers. When you talk about formal shoes you bring a perspective on quality and workmanship that I haven't seen in sneakers. I think it would be interesting to know your opinion on casual wear.It would certainly be entertaining.

[@jasonduhe2186]

Carpet I have a question for you what what how do you take off your suit jacket let I just wanted to let you know

[@jasonduhe2186]

I just have a question for carbon Anderson my question is how do you take off your suit jacket can you show me

Yup, constant and quite big tbh.

I have come to the conclusion that this youtuber lacks basic etiquette in communication skills.His interjections during every conversation is vexing and disrespectful.Watching this...one may think the youtuber is the cloth designer.He wont allow the real designer speak.It is such a shame.

[@ianarn]

njuafed71 Well with bespoke you are the designer!!! but I agree he sometimes butts in when he should allow the interviewee to speak!

[@TopStrikerMaverick]

“I need something bulletproof” I don’t think 27 ounces of Tasmanian wool can help you with that. 😂

[@QuiickScopeThis]

The way Kirby just shows no etiquette is so frustrating I’ve turned off after 6 minutes. Kirby, you’re not the expert here, stop trying to prove yourself and let the man talk and share his expert knowledge. God damn.

[@kirbyallison]

a Bellend I’m not trying to prove anything and apologize if I was in any way offensive. Just trying, apparently too hard, to lead and guide the conversation. I’m still learning!

[@PBMS123]

@@kirbyallison Lead the conversation, don't make 100% of the conversation. Stop answering the questions you ask him. Actually listen to him, rather than just talking over him... Kirby, I want you to go to 3:30, and watch as he is talking, at 3:39 you talk straight over the top of him, and watching you, it looks as if you are taking zero interest in him at all. My god man.

[@QuiickScopeThis]

Kirby Allison Apologies re-reading my comment today it seems a little on the aggressive side, I don’t necessarily think you’re directly trying to prove yourself but when your interrupting and almost answer your own questions it feels as though that’s the impression you’re trying to give. Maybe as a suggestion ask the question and give the person 5-10 seconds to attempt an answer before then sharing your own views ? Or share your own views and then ask the question so you’ve at least created a talking point based on your views and then asking the question. Don’t get me wrong this is really only the first video of yours that it’s seriously noticeable, otherwise I think your content is great and super informative.

[@warrenstanford7240]

No discussion about the fit of collar especially when popped to keep neck warm.

Being a gentleman is a matter of how you behave, not how you dress.

@Anon Ymous The old time nobleman you mention has more connotations of chivalry and perfect manners than of being a dandy.

[@russefrance4869]

In an interview, one simple rule helps. Ask questions, never make statements. :)

[@countalma9800]

I don't understand why so many people here are accusing Kirby of being, somehow, "impolite" and "lacking basic etiquette skills". Haven't noticed anything particularly offensive. Joe Hemrajani is a quiet man; besides, English is not his native language. If Kirby keeps quiet, Joe perhaps won't say much. Kirby needs to entertain us here and so he makes sure there is dynamic and energy in the video.

[@calebshipley4448]

Countalma But Kirby keeps talking over him even when he talks. That’s what makes it so rude.

[@PBMS123]

So if he's a quiet, don't talk over him when he finally does talk. Either you didn't watch the video or you think it's appropriate to just talk over people. 3:39. Watch the preceding 10 second to this point.

[@countalma9800]

@@PBMS123 Yeah, I guess you are right. He treats him like his valet, lol.

Fun fact, after I’ve seen Kirby’s $1000 Charvet and Whit shirt, I’ve purchased a silk shirt from Zilli for 1.6k. So now, I have two $1000 shirts. HAHAHA. Oh Kirby, how you have influenced me! I managed to not buy any luxury items the past two months, and then this happened. LOL

The silk material is just heavenly. Soft luxurious scrumptious material pair with my cashmere overcoat, another soft material. Wow!

[@rob379lqz]

Impressive Gentlemen. Hey wait a minute... this isn’t Rafael? Oh well, we really appreciate Kirby a lot. Our secret everyone: Respect to Kirby and Rafael. And, for Kirby’s Handlers, I have a few positive suggestions: 1. Never allow any Gentleman to disclose they are in Cali... unless that Gentleman is a 3 Star Michelin Tyre Chef. 2. Kirby requires a decent hair cut, as the back curls up a bit. If you let me at him with my trimmers and razors, Kirby will have a haircut acceptable to go to church. 3. That last presentation, of a loose twill/tweed jacket is timeless. I have 2 critique items, for good... A. It is undersized for Kirby B. At Kirby’s dimensions, I would still impart a liner, with most important feature (to hold shape). Ie. prevent the jacket from hanging like a potato sack after a rain, and after 10 years. just commentin’

[@kirbyallison]

rob379 Where are you based? Come to dallas, and we’ll film a haircut!

[@TheNunakun]

I think Kirby has a tendency to interject because he's *that* passionate about bespoke and menswear. However, do take some of the comments with mild constructive criticism, though some comments are distasteful. Thanks for the video, Kirby. ~Don

[@kirbyallison]

TheNunakun well-noted.

[@Iberian247]

To those remarking on interrupting the guests speaking: I also unfortunately find myself doing the same and it’s never out of disrespect. It’s always a misguided attempt at making the other person comfortable by not making him/her do the heavy lifting in keeping the conversation going, especially when I feel a lull coming on.... I really should have more faith in the other person’s conversation skills.

[@shulinwang3616]

I rather feel if kirby didn't lead this particular guest old man hemrajani feel hard on camera. Besides Kirby's playing the customer so it's absolutely appropriate for him to talk over his "guests".

[@PBMS123]

No it's not. Because he isn't just the customer. He is presenting too. And even if you're the customer that doesn't give you free reign to be rude.

This is interesting, but somewhat irrelevant to 99% of your viewers. We can't go whereever you are to meet this tailor to get measured and all, and most of us can't afford it either.

Listen,, there are lots of videos and chans about people getting bespoke suits, shoes whatever, I am merely suggesting that it would be a much more interesting and relevant direction to go towards things the viewer base can actually buy. There are no chans I am aware of who does that high-end ready-to-wear stuff. that many of us actually buy already and are interested in on a real level. The video fantasies of homemade shoes and suits, it is nice but far from novel.
