The fabric colour couldn't be more under-stated yet distinct. Very nice.

@Eisenwulf666 2 года назад

i wasn't a fan of the colour at first but it grew up on me the more i looked at it. Truly a great fabric. Now, the tie..it's too much for me, but it fits the rest quite well.

@johnnychin 2 года назад

The length of the trousers is a personal preference but the asymmetrical roll on the lapel is really conspicuous. The drape on the back also seems quite off.

@kirbyallison 2 года назад

This is really down to the jacket having literally been “unboxed” on camera.

Great fabric! May be your nicest suit from what I can see. Bellissima!!

@denton1972 7 месяцев назад

That is a handsome suit. The color of the fabric is indeed unique and elegant. Pinstripes are always elegant.

@waltersickinger263 2 года назад

The left lapel does not roll to the top button. The right and left lapel are unbalanced. The back pulls across the small of your back. The right shoulder is too tight...note the dimple below the sleevehead. Whatever you paid is too much.

@paulmcgee1867 2 года назад

Is it because of the light cloth not allowing any drape?

Did Kirby not notice the lapels

@asegal4677 2 года назад

Hate to say it but all correct. And both shoulders have terrible indentations upon the slightest movement which should not be present with bespoke at this price point.

@PeteBrant 2 года назад

Have to say, Kirby, it looks absolutely tremendous. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

@HEAVYISPY 2 года назад

Always love a pinstripe! I have an odd jacket made in a Dormeuil fabric, love it in the spring and fall!

@scottbrandon6244 2 года назад

I really like the cloth chosen for the suit. Dormeuil is always a good choice. The suit coat sits well on the shoulders. However the suit needs a pressing. The trouser cuffs are hemmed too high for some reason. Ideally they should be just above the heel of the shoe. And the back of the tie (smaller end) should not hang longer than the front of the tie.

@bartell1307 2 года назад

Kirby likes to have a small part of the tie to be longer.

@collinsadotey1655 Год назад

are u a tailor?

@daniell2217 6 месяцев назад

That really is a dynamite suit. Eric’s work seems to really blend the best of Italian and English tailoring. Beautiful drape. Perfect balance. Semi-structured shoulder. And the subtle pinstripe looks better than I thought it would. Lovely!

@greggani4716 2 года назад

That is one of your best looking suits, especially in this Texas heat.

@howtotieatiequick 2 года назад

Lovely suit, and it's impressive that it looks so good straight out of the box. I'm not sure if it's a cultural difference but in British tailoring we talk about 'cloth' rather than 'fabric' and 'alterations' rather than 'adjustments'. Still a nice suit though :-)

@blzt3206 Год назад

Cloth is correct because they’re clothes. Fabric usually refers to drape or curtain material but can also mean cloth.

@Philo68 2 года назад

The shoulders and sleeve-heads are stunning! Once it’s settled and moulded to your body it’s only going to improve with age. While in London Kirby, be sure to get a couple of your suits sponged and pressed on Savile Row. They’re the best at building the shape and life back into the garment, plus it’d make a great video to see it being done to one of YOUR tired suits. Beautiful job Eric! I’m sure he’s pleased. Edited for spellcheck.

@matthewcoupeofficial 2 года назад

@EEK1810 2 года назад

It looks like the fabric is excellent and I like the pattern and color. But I see too many wrinkles and the pants are short. Something went wrong with the stitching of the pieces. Sorry about that..

@Alf763 2 года назад

It’s been sat in shipping for a long time, and he literally said the trousers didn’t need to be adjusted so it’s clearly a styling choice

I have a question . Why is the sleeve head not smooth , their seems to be some puckering at the top of the sleeve head and ive seen it in some of the other suits . Is this something that is requested by you Kirby ?

@bigpicturethinking5620 2 года назад

Yeah my J.C. Penney suits don’t even have that “puckering”

@kirbyallison 2 года назад

It’s quite normal for the Italians to work in extra fabric around the shoulder to create fullness. Creates a touch of puckering as the extra fabric at the top of the sleeve.

@federanger 2 года назад

@@kirbyallison thank you Kirby !! I prefer a sleek sleeve but to each is own .

@brucer6239 2 года назад

@miles422 2 года назад

Gorgeous material! Love the color and tones. Beautiful suit!!

@aar498 2 года назад

There are a number of fit and execution issues with this suit. Not surprising since the first one had poorly executed shoulders and sleeve heads. Here, the lapels are shockingly off with the left lapel starting something like 1/2" lower than the right one and ending 2" above the right one. No big deal. Call it Italian sprezzatura lol Turning to the back, the collar is too low. There is some tightness at the waist and probably too much balance between the scye level and the waist. By the way, if you go for a light-weight cloth, you'd better have a good tailor. Because that type of fabric is particularly unforgiving.

@sirrandolphnettleby3114 2 года назад

I noticed that at the beginning but i thought it was the camera angle. The lapels are way out on a bespoke suit aswell. If i was the tailor of that suit i would be embarrass.

@max2grant 2 года назад

I disagree with both of you. I think this suit is just rumpled from being shipped, and Kirby put it on immediately without steaming or ironing. I expect this suit in person looks like a perfect fit.

@MrLladida 2 года назад

I really like the overall styling of the suits by Jensen, but unfortunately there are some glaring fitting issues. The shoulders are way more on point on this one, but the problem with the lapels is rather obvious. Concerning the waist I don't think you can say it is a balance issue just by watching the video, so it also could be just some tightness that can easily be addressed (maybe somebody gained some weight?). Although you can also observe this by looking at the fronts unclosed, which aren't falling straight down, so it might be a vertical balance issue. Overall I wouldn't call it a desaster but there are some issues.... nevertheless I like the look

@NeyDogg 2 года назад

The pressing of the lapels seem to be off. Hopefully it’s not an issue with the Cutting but only the pressing. I think the biggest issue is the fabric is too light weight

In the original suit you're wearing aren't the lapels scalloped somewhat? Is that a dry cleaning error?

Seriously the stuff these dudes convince themselves of to cope with spending such exorbitant amounts of money on an ill fitting suit for ThE DeTaILs is hilarious to me at least you’d expect a symmetrical lapel spending thousands of dollars.

@expatexpat6531 2 года назад

The suit and the fabric look really good. One question / point: @6:51 the trousers look a little short. Was that due to the setting of your braces? I've noticed that Americans tend to cut their trousers shorter than in Europe. I've seen videos of Reagan and Trump with trousers basically "at half mast", as if the trousers had shrunk or their tailor had run out of cloth. Maybe you can comment on this or discuss it with Eric Jensen who's seen both worlds. A comment from the UK tailors would also be interesting.

@greggani4716 2 года назад

@richtonge2736 2 года назад

@paulr6043 2 года назад

I agree, the trousers are too short

@Radhatter1 2 года назад

Typically the dimples on the left sleeve are caused by a mismatch between the cut of the sleeve and your arms and resting position, or the shoulder width may be a bit off. I agree with the feedback here it’s not that good. I think the trouser length and the way it hangs is all wrong you should have gone with 1.5 inch cuffs. What a shame, if you paid 4,600€ for this is not with the price. Edited for punctuation.

@albriseno2428 2 года назад

The suit looks very nice and the material is great. The only thing I noticed is the roll of the jacket lapel. It seems to end above the button and buttonhole. In other videos on bespoke suits, especially one shot at Anderson Sheppard, the tailors explain that the roll should end at the button on one side and the buttonhole on the other. When the suit is buttoned it looks ok but the moment you unbutton the jacket you see how the lapel roll is short. Maybe it will even out once the suit settles.
