In this video, Kirby Allison reviews if the Warwick, a Balmoral from British shoemakers, Gaziano & Girling, is actually just as good, if not better, than their cap to oxfords.
Gaziano & Girling is a unique shoe company. Founded in 2006 by Tony Gaziano & Dean Girling, it has become the most innovative and versatile shoemaker in England, combining handcrafting and manufacturing skills to put itself at the top of both the bespoke and benchmade industries.

I literally don’t wear any style of clothing you discuss but I binge this channel because it’s so interesting and your passion for it carries through and makes the videos more enjoyable

love the "what I am wearing today" bit at the end.

@2bitrasputin793 4 года назад

Excellent. Tony & Dean would be foolish not to gift you a pair. This shoe is certainly a must for the Intrinsically Satisfied.

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

Hahaha. Yes. I certainly would accept a pair!

@Ken-dv9uf 4 года назад

Absolutely beautiful shoe!

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

Yeah. It's really stunning.

@dechalertsumitkul8066 4 года назад

As always nice presentation. I am about to purchase a Gaziano & Girling Balfour either in vintage rioja or dark margaux similar to color made for Price Charles. Which is a better color choices. Or should I stick with the black.

Correction: Bakers soles (used by G&G) are tanned for 12 months not 9 months. JR soles are the ones tanned for 9 months... Thanks for the video

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

Thanks for the correction. I'd love to visit Bakers one day! I hear it's like stepping back in time.

@Cyrx686 4 года назад

I'm still learning and still a novice. I honestly thought that if you couldn't see the stitch on the bottom of the shoe then it wasn't a real goodyear welt. Still learning!

@martuni1539 4 года назад

There are many shoes with visible stitching on the outsole that aren't good year welted, some of which are even just glued

@robertlasich747 4 года назад

Have you ever done a review of Paul Parkman shoes? If so, what's your view? Thanks.

@kongmw 4 года назад

the finishing on the sole and the fiddleback waist are immaculate but isn’t the hidden channel stitching something you can get on 200 dollar shoes these days? not much of a bragging point anymore.

@silentsir2446 4 года назад

Honestly, you can get the fiddleback waist on a $3-400 shoe now.

@bryanlee8196 4 года назад

kongmw Yeah. Take a look at TLB Artista and Cobbler Union. However their Fiddleback/beveled waist isn’t as pronounced.

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

Yes - the gap has certainly been narrowed with the fiddle back and narrow waists. For sure. Quite impressive you can find that for less than $400.

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

Today is the last day of our TLB Artista group buy!

@BestPaulever 4 года назад

I might have missed it, but is a balmoral actually better than an oxford? In terms of formality and versatility.

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

No... they are really two of the same. Although I do agree that a balmoral "looks" more formal, I think this is only because it is the slightly less common model.

@Davewagon 4 года назад

Their shoes are horrid...

@reecewilkinson4334 4 года назад

Davewagon granted they’re not a classic shoe and are a little extravagant but there are very well made and at a great price for what you get

@Davewagon 4 года назад

@@reecewilkinson4334 I agree with you, I was being a little crass/harsh. They are extremely well made and reasonably priced, not to my taste but clearly to other people's as is testament to their 30yr trading. I can't speak for Kirby, but don't see them as a shoe which would match the style of dress he presents himself in. Best wishes

@FourAces 4 года назад

I wish he’d show a matching belt for each pair of shoes he demonstrates

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

I'm don't really wear belts. All of my trousers are tabbed. However, I think it is a little ridiculous having a perfectly matching belt for every pair of shoes. But if you can afford it, that is certainly the way to go.

@crisyorke1328 4 года назад

I do wear my Stefano Ricci croc belts when I pair with shoes. I only have two croc belts that I wear alternating between each wear. Burgundy for brown shoes and black for my burnished gray shoes.

Beautiful shoes...though I prefer St Crispins at this price point

@kirbyallison 4 года назад

St. Crispins really does a great shoe. Slightly more difficult to come by, though.

@danielpickton-allen8385 3 года назад

Not a fan of square toes on shoes. Otherwise these look lovely shoes, and given they’re only made to order you could ask for a round toe. Though buying shoes made to order is exceedingly expensive. I have one pair of black cap toe oxfords. These are the shoes I got because you could wear them with any suit. My wardrobe for the most part is much more casual and I wear sneakers.

@DrClocktopus1 4 года назад

Yea tbh most of his videos do. This is first and foremost marketing for The Hanger Project and it shows that Kirby is a marketing guy more than anything.

@airborneranger-ret 4 года назад

@@DrClocktopus1 I really enjoy most of his videos. Some, like the $400 - $1400 shoe comparison, I and my friends have watched several times and expect to watch many more. This one's title and the verbiage seem to really be at odds. :)

@ChichiNaka 4 года назад

it's such an incel-like view of well dressed though

@martuni1539 4 года назад

. . . It's a very classic, nearly global standard, and long standing archetype of what a well dressed man is. It has and will continue to stand the test of time as such, perhaps with minor differences along the way. Please don't leave negative comments using buzzwords that have nothing to do with the content of the video, which you clearly lack knowledge about.
