It's absolutely absurd how Kirby is able to churn out high-quality, on-site documentaries that are practically ready-for-TV, at such an incredible pace. Entire team behind Kirby have to be crazy workaholics and perfectionists.

Год назад

That series is so similiar to the german series "Handwerkskunst" (literally craftsmanship arts) of the german public-service broadcaster SWR. So indeed that is broadband TV content.

@sbaumgartner9848 Год назад

What impresses me about the woman sewing the custom shirt is that there's no pressing done until the garment is completely made. The people working at this workshop are highly skilled, and I'm envious re the quality fabrics they use.

@mark_just_mark Год назад

Such a skill and Helen made it look so easy, she made the hemming look absolutely effortless… My mother was a seamstress, working from home, so the sound of a sewing machine brings back delightful memories…

@doriangray6633 Год назад

Can't get enough of these Artisan craftsmen and Women, well done Budd! Keep it up Kirby

@stephenbest4924 Год назад

Amazing talented lady, who would have thought, the skill and time needed to make a single shirt is extraordinary.

@balobreached Год назад

I love how well she explains everything, she should become a teacher if she isn't already.

@benjamintravis6606 Год назад

Super cool seeing her line up those stripes just right. I look at stuff in stores and see them so off and even a little off drives me nuts. Now watching this is was so visually perfect. She made it seem easy but I know full well it took a bit of time to make it look that easy.

@sirrandolphnettleby3114 Год назад

Well done BUDD for still making their shirts here in England. Well over 20 years ago i bought my first expensive shirt at Hilditch & Key in Jermyn Street they had their own factory at the time they also used pre shrunk shirting material beautiful shirts they closed the factory down and all their shirts i believe are now made abroad. I always try to buy British where i can.

@paulmcgee1867 Год назад

Yes I did the same for years then they were taken over and stopped having the mill in Scotland so sad 😢

@iopy12 Год назад

Darren, it was our pleasure to see all the lovely ladies working on the shirt. Theyre all so knowledgeable, skilled and so about making you look perfect. Kirby, perfect video. it sums everything the channel stands for; Quality, Craftsmapship and Tradition.

Glad you enjoyed it

@renangaidheal1320 Год назад

Virtuosity is making something difficult look easy. Helen is a treasure. Thanks for these amazing videos, Kirby. I really appreciate how thorough and gracious you are---and how the craftspeople offer their gifts.

not sure if you have done this yet but id love to see a video of how you changed into this career Kirby, I think it would be a fascinating watch.

Amazing workmanship. They make it look much easier than it really is through their years of experience. Thank you Kirby for sharing this wonderful tour of the Budd factory. Really fascinating.

@dennisblogg Год назад

One could easily get the impression that sewing a shirt is quite an easy thing if you know all the steps. But as I quickly found out when I bought my sewing machine... There are so many small things that affect the whole outcome and mistakes adds up quickly. One day I'm going to make a decent looking shirt though!

@toddnyc1642 Год назад

The side seams are double-stitched. Very eye-opening that British bespoke does not use single-needle nowadays.

If the camera wasn't there, would she have used the cuff guide? I feel like she has such an understanding of length she did that for show. All the other measures she was doing by eye. Impressive! Also at the 40 min mark the guy in the back just trying to enjoy his tea break xD

@gavindadds4414 Год назад

Double bespoke commission at Kent, Haste, pop into Henry Poole for a shooting suit, grab a couple of Purdey heritage shotguns to go shooting in Scotland, hop down to the Carmina factory in Mallorca in the amazing vintage suit find to get some new Spectators and now head on down to the Budd factory to watch your new custom shirt being made. Your leading a charmed life Kirby and producing the best content of it's kind on RU-vid. Did Darren drop some weight since the last time we saw him, that shirt looks a tad baggy.

@qarhsi Год назад

kirby's favourite phrase: quality, craftsmanship & tradition anyway, Kirby, great video. really enjoyed watching the process of making a shirt. btw, you forgot a pocket square, and i guess you are due for a haircut. or at least, a little maintenance on the sides.

@DecemberNames Год назад

I just watched your video and I absolutely loved it! I found your presentation to be incredibly informative and engaging. You did a great job of breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand terms. I also appreciated the humor and personal anecdotes that you sprinkled throughout the video. It made the content more relatable and enjoyable. You're one of the few RU-vidrs who I can consistently count on to deliver high-quality content. Keep up the great work! "I outsourced this feedback to AI"

@rob379lqz Год назад

Thank-you Kirby. Impressive. Umm, Kirby, between you and me… I got “a bit of a beer gut.” Might Bud 🍺 make me a shirt to contour to my expanding tummy? Appreciated.

@MrBurtonshaw Год назад

Wonderful to see how skilled a top "machinist" (English) really is. I use a sewing machine to make easy level alterations to shirts and trousers... I'm slow and nowhere near as good as the lady who did the whole shirt, and literally zipped her way through it. I'm very jealous.

@spudmambo Год назад

Great video as always, love to see him to go a good course royal st George's or at andrews? Lots of history there

@markmaricar1927 Год назад

Hi Kirby you are awesome great guy the way you covered in detail showing budd himself and the artisan lady who did her best on the shirt make it beautiful now I am in love with this kind of bespoke shirts how do I get for myself in Singapore appreciate

@soulandwit5029 Год назад

This video is fascinating to watch. Thank you for all this beautifully produced content, @Kirby Allison. I’m curious to see that Budd’s ironing process involves creasing the sleeve. There is some debate about whether to crease or not-seems like we have Budd’s stance.

@soulandwit5029 Год назад

It might be nice to have a whole shirt care video (washing, ironing, etc.).

@philippthink9088 Год назад

And a massive bull nose ring. Would be interesting to see what her husband/wife/significant other looks like.

@wriggly Год назад

Sewing is a complete mystery to me. I can understand how you can assemble wooden or metal objects with precision, but how is that possible with fabric? Even though that's exactly what is happening in front of my eyes, I can't comprehend it.

@anlemeinthegame1637 Год назад

I find Helen's accent interesting. How would this accent be described?

@kirbyallison Год назад

I believe it is an accent from the Midlands of England. Around the Birmingham area if I am not mistaken

@glynphillips3362 Год назад

@@kirbyallison Hi Kirby and Anleme. As a West Midlander myself I can tell you that she sounds like she is originally from my homeland: the Black Country (the swathe of industrial villages and towns to the West and North of Birmingham), although obviously softened through living in Hampshire. So lovely to hear our local accent on one of your videos!

@pedrom1619 Год назад

Quality that the typical asian imported shirts don't offer

@MrBurtonshaw Год назад

If a middleman said he wanted top quality... China, as an example, with direction and materials, are more than capable of supplying it. The "west" spent 200 years trying to equal their "china" a while back.

@rimaarts Год назад

Only downside is a MASSIVE first order.... 1 shirt is fine, but plopping down for 5 shirts is not.

@kirbyallison Год назад

You don’t have to take them all at once. Just ensures people don’t pop on for a bespoke shirt without committing to the process of getting it right. It might be one or two shirts before one is happy.

@rimaarts Год назад

@@kirbyallison really? I had a terrible experience with another bespoke maker(highly rated on PS), that did send both shirts from first order at once, despite me expressing a concerns that better would be to send them one by one.. that honestly left me with impression that if you're poor enough to consider bespoke expensive and are unwilling (unable to afford) to write off at least an order or two, bespoke is not for you...

@katelynwoodside2585 10 месяцев назад

I watched 38 minutes of this just to see how she makes the collar…and they skip it. 😢

@klk1900 Год назад

So I often wonder about his self worth and what could’ve happened to him as a child. I always tell patients, keep a close eye on your kids and what they wear. If they only wear expensive clothes, shoes, or jewelry it’s a good indicator they are struggling with self worth. People with low self worth only feel valued when they have items on they see as valuable. -- i wear suits at work or scrubs or lab coat/trousers but I strip it off immediately. I would never go to the park wearing bespoke clothing for example.-- mentoring I also see kids in low income neighborhoods that are addicted to shoes. It’s basically the same reason. They have low self esteem/worth so when they have the expensive shoes on they feel like somebody, they feel good. -- I mention this because a lot of people don’t pay attention to the indicators. -- it’s very important with your children. Watch if they try and lead you into a clothing store with a high price tag. You may wanna dig a little deeper on the why. 99% of the time you will find they’ve been bullied or put down. Which then destroys self worth.

@YacDiesel Год назад

Or perhaps some people were simply raised to look after their appearance and they carried that mindset into their adulthood? Not sure whether the topic warrants the exhaustive psychoanalysis 😂

@newinspiration2108 Год назад

WAIT, so the pattern was drafted and cut by hand. The shirt is hand cut but literally MACHINE made! not hand made? sorry I love your series with your suit but for Budd shirts, I really don't buy it as they operate just like any other factory. I believe back in 1910s or even pre-WW, there had been much more handwork involved.

@kirbyallison Год назад

The best shirts are machine made (with a few exceptions). It’s hard to beat the precision stitching of a modern sewing machine. A few makers such as Wil Whiting and some Italians have a handmade product, but it’s at over double the cost.

@newinspiration2108 Год назад

@@kirbyallison thanks for the reply, I totally agree on the precision of machining. However, there are still sartorias making shirts with hand-attached collar, cuffs, sleeves, yoke, and gussets at the highest quality but not at double the price. Many Italian sartorias can and will.

@ffotograffydd Год назад

Very interesting, as always. One thing though, please don’t call highly experienced seamstresses “girls”, they aren’t girls, they are very talented women.
