Bespoke Shoe Unboxing - Black Loafers | George Cleverley 

Can u pls let me know about the total cost of this?

When he's gay, yes.

@@20catsRPG for a Alpha you sound like a teen girl with to much sand in you vegage

@@iaido01 What's a vegage? What's wrong with you? Are you brain damaged? Oh look, even the special people watch these vids so they can pretend they can tie their own shoe laces! Awww! Well isn't that just cute!

@@20catsRPG vagina dumbass. let me tell you secret insicure little girl. everybody who call them self Alpha aren't Alpha. we dress like this because we like it, not to impress others. don't be jealouse that you can't even afford 1 of our shoes..

If you don't have a shelf allocated to shoe storage, save the boxes. If not, don't.

That box looks nicer than most of my furniture.

@@wasabista1613 he means the outer box that the nice box came in...

I thought that was just my own clown feet. Would be interested to know as well Kirby.

Thanks, Yan. It really depends on how well-polished the shoe was when I received it. A lot of bespoke shoes come with a great polish job, so these I won't immediately polish. However, most RTW shoes receive no polishing at the factory, so i'll polish these immediately.

it is bespoke. so it is probably 3 times more than an EG and two times more expensive than berluti RTW

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique I certainly won’t stop you!! 😁 Russian would be an excellent material for this shoe.

That would be a unique shoe in Russian Raindeer! That would be fun.

Just wear them. They will break in my friend.

yes, sorry, these are absolutely bespoke.

Melvin Yeo That’ll be next!

Why not... nobody would really know except you.

9:28 He's wearing spotted socks.

roskes We have a lot of shell cordovan shoe shine videos, but nothing on shell as a general background. We will certainly do not, though. For sure.

sniffsniff .. poor horsey

blessedcajun I couldn’t agree more!

ianmedium Thank you! Yes - I’m really fond of this shoe. I won’t stop until I can at least wear a different pair every day of the week! ☠️

The Hanger Project , ( think of a Cab Calloway voice) That’s style man.... :)

The Hanger Project oh and remember, you heard it from me months ago, Dark green crocodile, this style screams out for that!

I love these shoes how much do they run?

I prefer simplier/plain designs. I think it makes the shoe more elegant and more versatile.

AshJWilliams There absolutely could be a better pair to do as your first! If one was to only have one pair of bespoke shoes made, it would almost certainly be my #1 recommendation.

Rick Fitzgerald We’ve got loads of great ones we’ve already published! Sometimes I hate to think they get lost in RU-vid oblivion.

I found some great shoes on Cobbler Union site. There are videos on youtube that are mentioning US bespoke shoes but can't remember out of bat.

Check this guy. Best shoe guy in youtube I found. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jpm6Xiq7Dic.html

Gerry Gallagher Thank you!

I choose pigskin for the interesting texture. No reason I couldn't have the same model made from black calfskin. It would certainly be a beautiful shoe.

SamNettles Same as calfskin, surprisingly.

Arnold Arnoldsson Interesting idea I hadn’t considered!!

I've never heard of this, but I'll ask the next time I have the pleasure to be in the company of a bespoke shoemaker.

It’s a bit late but I own a perfume shop. Tom Ford’s fragrances are very unimpressive to me. If you are looking for a nice leather check out what Serge Luten has to offer. If you are looking for an amber check out Frederic Malle’s Musc Ravageur and I highly recommend their fragrance called Monsieur.

Stanley Chung I really try to avoid wearing my bespoke shoes when it’s raining, so I don’t put any rubber protectors on my soles (especially my bespoke shoes). Bespoke shoe makers hammer or roll the outsoles in order to further compress the leather fibers. This creates a very dense and long-lasting outsole that is not prone to the quick wear of less expensive, softer outsoles. This is why we use JR Redenbach outsoles on the shoes on our Kirby Allison Certified Recrafting Program. The oak-bark tanning process creates an incredibly dense outsole that is long-lasting.

sjvdo I actually sell all my boxes on eBay because I really don’t use them, nor do I have the room. As you’ve seen in my closet tour, I’ve had shelves belt to store my shoes. As for storage, these boxes are fine as long as they allow the shoe to breathe. Don’t ever store leather shoes in plastic boxes, as they can allow mildew to develop.

Absolutely!

Yep. Hand welted. Similar, but different.

Wow you must be a bad ass with such exclusionary criteria

zoukatron Cleverley has a really beautiful bow tie tassel loafer that is one of my favorites. But, otherwise, I’m certainly very much of your school of thought. I have an old penny loafer, but it isn’t a pair I go to first to wear.

Totally agree @zoukatron

Henry Ho Haha. Yeah. Now I just have to pay for them! 😅😂

The Hanger Project what do you think about Jfitzpatrick’s shoes? I have a pair of MTO that will be home in the next 2 months. Just want to hear your opinion on the brand? Thanks for the video Kirby!

Thanks! Congratulations on the November Cleverley fitting. Post some pictures and tag us so I can see the shoes!

Standard bespoke is £2,950. The Russian Reindeer is £4,000. And for comparison, Alligator is £4,875. I’m not sure about Cordovan, but it’s somewhere between Calfskin and Russian Reindeer. They have the lowest entry point of any of the west end shoemakers.

@@kirbyallison Thank you very much !

Bespoke Addict The Brighton Gentleman Thanks, Lee!

박지후 haha. Thanks!!

Dennis Mortensen I need to call him and see where I am on the list...
