$100 Shirt vs $1000 Shirt Comparison 👔 | Kirby Allison 

Luckily they are for me. Shirts, suits and especially shoes. If you get to the stage where you can have clothes made, go for shoes. It's really worth it. Some of mine are 30 years old and when my father died some of his were 40 years old.

Never say never

@@mscott3918 who did you go with for bespoke shoes ?

They can be with a good sewing machine and patience. The hard part will be sourcing fabrics.

> I can't get enough of this delightful weirdo Seriously, he's either super fucking rich, or spends most of his income on shoes and clothes.

I have 5 wetsuits that are all wetsuits.

You can sew shanks on your buttons if pressed!!! A good spool of thread and a few needles might cost you $20. And if you have trouble with cheap plastic, and onerously thick buttons, for Pete's sake, change them. For about $25-$30 you can have the buttons of your dreams! And you can learn quite quickly how to change your buttons and sew a longer shank on at the same time--- making him and all of the guys like him absolutely weak in the knees! For God's sake! Have we turned into a nation of fops or what?

Bet they’re nice?!

Alex Ryan I bet most people couldn't even tell the difference between your shirts and a 1k shirt, even after watching this video.

Something to be proud of

Walmart must be ready to promote you!

mine is from 100yen store

What’s a shirt?

my hairs are my shirts

lol

you can get better shirts for half the price at propercloth

I like Raphael but he plugs is brand way too heavy, it's nauseating to be honest. Kirby is alot more subtle about plugging his brand, etc. I feel like GG is now just a way to advertise and sprook the products online. I actually unsubscribed to his channel because of it. There is alot of good information on the internet (try reading blogs and pick up a few classic books- cheap on amazon), I don't need to sit through a 20 minute advertisement about shit I will never buy.

How do I place an order?

@@romanmwong PhD & CPA? ...Call me!

@@pthesmith He probably teaches accounting lol

Yes, you should. MTM doesn't usually have all these choices. Artisan MTM, or custom MTM?

Are they hand sewn with monograms and only the highest quality fabric known to man?

Is KMart still around?

@@romanmwong you bet

lullemans72 So true , but then we’d see, there isn’t a $900 difference .

This guy looks too pompus to be caught wearing anything that costs less than $500

TheGoondas87 Pompous is right . He thinks he’s English Royalty.

@@G17-911 Damn good comment.

Randy Bingham The only reason to pay $1000 for a shirt is so you can tell people it is a $1000 shirt, because no one would ever know or care otherwise

And a scissor is all you need to solve that ptoblem! Easy. Peasey!!!

@@paulortiz2035 Are you high? This design of gauntlet has a flat panel with a button hole in it. It’ll just look sloppy if you cut the button off - as folks will see you’re missing a button on each sleeve and think you simply don’t care. My sleeves lack the flat panel on the gauntlet and don’t gape open. I prefer to look smart without a button on the gauntlet, for the reasons mentioned above.

Good for you!!

Question is are they as elegant as a Charvet?

Well, if one is cutting corners it may have to do. I'm sorry to hear about your total failure in life.

I read somewhere that starch embeds crystals into the fabric which abrade the threads. This in turn reduces the life expectancy of the garment. Probably not something one wants to do with a fine shirt. But again if one can afford such a shirt one may not care.

oxysoxos, I don’t think you should feel badly. The idea of spending $1000 on a shirt, A SHIRT! Is absolutely ridiculous to me. How many times have you noticed the drape of the shirt on the guy you’re talking to?

@@tomblack6972 you have to understand these shirts are not intended for the average person lol. someone worth millions of dollars won’t think twice about paying $1,000 for a shirt. it is literally pocket change

kongmw not going to see that because he won’t make his sponsors look bad. That’s why he won’t compare boot black to his shoe polishes

Using a discount code on a reputable MTM you can get one no different than the $1000 shirt. Try using CIPRIAN_100 on Lanieri.com and tell me how it fits! Mine was as good as a shirt can get, with luxurious fabric.

If the MTM company is really good, not like the majority, but really good; you can get a bespoke shirt in the $150 to $175 range that will truly rival that $1,000 shirt. How do I know? I've been working in the bespoke and MTM markets for years and next year am launching my own brand.

@@rodellis6 What? He isn't sponsored by Charvet, he doesn't sell their products. As far as I can tell, he makes his money solely from the products he sells on his website. As for comparing Saphir polishes to "boot black," what do you mean? If you mean brands like Kiwi, Kirby has done the comparison numerous times, as have many other people, and the Saphir polishes blow everything else out of the water, especially in terms of ease of use. I can tell you from personal experience that Saphir polishes take a fraction of the time and a fraction of the amount of product to achieve the same shine. Plus, they are available in 12+ colors, while Kiwi, Lincoln, etc. are available in 5 colors at the most. In short, yes, Saphir polishes really are better. They really are worth the extra money - which works out to pennies per shine, anyway.

For fully bespoke shirts Charvet do require a second fitting. However, they offer an option that is semi bespoke. You try on shirts until you and the assistant find one that works for you. Your shirts will be made for you in that size, but you can choose the fabric, cuff and collar style. No fitting needed and they will send them to you.

How much does she pay for the adjustments? My experience is that even if they are able to bring in the sides, the armscye will always be too large. By increasing the size of the shirt, you increase the size of the armscye. This to me is the most obvious and uncomfortable part of a shirt that is too large.

If I could afford $1000 on a shirt, I probably wouldn't even bother dry cleaning it, I'd just throw it away and put on a new one.

i certainly wouldn't be fucking watching videos on RU-vid

@@ultrademigod Even if you could afford a $1000, you wouldn't be throwing them away. If you could afford $1000 shirts then maybe you'd do that with the cheap $50 shirts.

@@PBMS123 I think you're over analyzing it a bit.

This should all be explained to you in detail when you enter a business that does bespoke shirts (e.g. Charvet). Good luck!

Yes they are.

Nobody in the country will measure you. Try Argentina first.

That was cringy.

Try T M Lewin of London.

blkbrd I use to UPS my shirts to a dry cleaner in NYC. Yep the Great Recession ended that luxury.

LeFatalpotato but then 95% of the worlds population can’t watch RU-vid (censored) or understand English, or has internet access fast enough to watch videos.

@@aussiestallion69 well I guess there is certainly an unlucky populace in the world that is not able to connect to RU-vid, but I believe it is in no way close to 95%, I would guess somewhere in the ballpark of 10%. Coming from a country with a gdp per capita of $9k/year, even here more than 90% of people own a device that can connect to internet. And due to ppp, poorer countries have internet access for less than quarter of the price of what Europeans and Americans pay for in an equivalent package

LeFatalpotato you need to do more research, China bans RU-vid, the population of China is approx 1.3 Billion people, India has a population of 1.35 Billion people of which only 460 million can access the Internet, so with a global population of 7.6 billion just China and India add up to approx 24% If you do add in English speakers as a first or second language, and estimates vary widely but it’s approx 2 billion of which some of course are in India which a large majority of the educated population speak a English as a second language and of course are very likely to have access to the internet, so estimated 250 million for that. If you do the sums that’s about 23% for English speakers as a first or second language, again not all would have access to high speed Internet so let’s say only 20%, making at least 80% of the global population essentially without access to or understanding of the content of the video. However as you alluded it’s the cost of the less expensive shirt that is unaffordable for 95% of the world population and in that you’re very likely correct!

@@aussiestallion69 Well, for starters, I had not stated anything about people that could understand or even reach the video or not, I only wanted to state that if the number of people that have internet access would not outnumber those that can afford a $100 shirt 100 to 1 I would be seriously surprised! PS: I just checked a website called hostingfacts.com, and it states there are 4.1b active internet users in the world by december 2018, and I really don't care how many of them can speak English or reach this video, it's too much of an hustle for me lol. But I think it would be safe to assume there are less than 41m $100 shirts sold every year lol.

You can get better value for your money.

Eton shirts are fantastic. The care to fabric and cut are well done.

@@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser name a few

I’m pretty sure it’s latex.
