Kirby and Preston, I am a veteran diagnosed with PTSD. I left the Army 7 years ago, I was angry and depressed all the time. I gave up taking care of myself. (I was really into shoe shinning as a teenager. ) A couples of months ago I ran into the Hangers Project and the Elegant Oxford, you guys have changed my outlook in life. I started to shine my shoes again. One of the old pairs of shoes which I inherited from father is looking so good and I am feeling much better. Thanks guys and blessings. Shinning shoes is so therapeutic!

love shoe shine Sunday, so much to learn

@___1980. 4 года назад

My shoe shining interest began with Kirby, and then later deviated to watching Preston and his unique tactic on dying and burnishing the toe plates. I’ve never seen anything like his technique. The best collaboration is Preston and Kirby working together. Now, the cherry on top would be Jim McFarland to join them🙋🏻‍♂️🇺🇸 👞

“Looking after your shoes everyday is like looking after your life. The real result show themselves 10 years from now” I paraphrase but it’s so true, thank you gents.

I could easily watch these two all day. Doing what they love and a beautiful job too.

Kirby got a full two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼. I really enjoyed this video and it was great to see The Elegant Oxford there. “Let your light so shine before men”. What a wonderful human side to Kirby Allison. It was very generous of him to share viewers and tips.

@roofchees9 4 года назад

Finally, a guest who can actually shine shoes.

@YacDiesel 4 года назад

roofchees9 You beat me to it! Was just about to say the same thing. It’s mind-boggling the number of guests on this segment who label themselves as authorities in menswear who look like 🦌 in headlights when asked to shine their shoes. Embarrassing!

@markoduvall 4 года назад

Two guys, shining shoes, talking about life and shoes... this was great coming from the two guys that I learned how to shine shoes from. Funny, Preston talked about detailing cars. I really enjoyed that prior to shining shoes. Now, I have two things that will relax me. Plus, it's much more pleasant to shine shoes in the winter :)

@marioe6696 3 года назад

Two gentlemen that appreciate the good things in life, like a good pair of shoes. Thank you both Kirby and Preston for preserving a tradition that needs to make a comeback.

I recently received my first Saphir products from the Hanger Project. I though I learned how to mirror shine with Kiwi back in Fort Benning, GA at bootcamp (C 3-47). Man was I wrong! Thank you Kirby Allison for having Saphir products available and for this channel. Thank you Preston Soto for your tutorial how to do a proper mirror shine from your channel. To everyone: Happy Veterans Day 2019!

@kowaltoboggan 4 года назад

Gentlemen, again...whether you realize it or not...you are creating an industry that didn’t exist before focused on quality, personal initiative and pride in one’s efforts and appearance. Bravo to you! Just because of you two, I have bought shoes, socks, brushes and plenty of Saphir products...with some stuff even sourced from The Hanger Project. Keep up the great work, great entertainment and great inspiration that makes so many so much better. You are moving the world one shoeshine at a time!

@EctopicElm00707 4 года назад

Thank you gentlemen for sharing your time, knowledge, passion and experience with us. Preston put it very well when he said many people - me included - enjoy seeing something old and neglected brought back to its former glory. After being inspired by the pair of you, I've purchased a couple of pairs of Cheaney shoes on eBay and have done just that. It's almost better than buying and caring for a brand new pair of good quality shoes. Well almost ... Ah money, why are you such a cruel mistress - never there when I need you?!

@Clarc115 3 года назад

Excellent conversation.

@thomasmccann9546 4 года назад

Great collaboration. I like how you mentioned other channels, maybe further videos including the processes of shoemaking with possible series of videos on your bespoke shoe design? Preston mentioned not having enough memory on the SD card and the long editing time. Maybe some of the RU-vidrs here can advise him on make/model and software that can help him with this issue?

Thanks for sharing your passion with us. I was polishing my double monk straps while watching this and I thought... might as well apply some Saphir Medaille D'or to my belt as the leather can do with some nourishing.

@Lorax_Tribe 4 года назад

My 5th Avenue oxfords have a contrast slightly less than Preston's, and I achieved it by stripping the tops and sides behind the toe caps with Reno Mat, then only putting Renovateur on that part. Polishing the toe caps to a high shine and darkening them a little more, I know I can return them to their original color but I haven't tried dyes yet.

@angelus0975 4 года назад

Hi Kirby, love your videos. I have a question to my predicament. I have always used Saphir products to maintain my leather shoes. I have a tin of dark brown Saphir wax which I did not use for a year since the initial usage. When I opened up the tin, the color has become a waxy clear yellow. Can it still be used? Will it harm the leathers? Will it damage the shoes? Does it still maintain its nourishing properties? Please advise. Thank you.

@genewagstaff5865 4 года назад

My footwear have brand names like Tony Lama, Dan Post, and Justin. Being a veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division Band means I am not satisfied with anything but spit shine.Thanks for some great hints. However, I wear elegant western boots as a result.

It’s eloquent. I prefer Preston. Kirby is a very dominating personality.

@arthurkurtz2448 4 года назад

I think Preston is soft-spoken and shy, but equally eloquent. He is on someone else's show, and trying to avoid being rude, in my opinion.

@pietvanhees9294 4 года назад

Hi Kirby and Preston, love this video man! I really enjoy havimg polished shoes as well. Especially when people recognise the effort. However, I made the inevitable mistake of walking my nice shoes in the rain. Now they’ve dried up they have dark stains from the wet leather. Is this repairable?

@tomharrison4290 4 года назад

HELLO For a pair of Allen Edmond’s burgundy Kenwood loafers, should I use Burgundy Saphir Pate De Luxe Shoe Polish and the Hermes Red Shoe Crème Saphir Medaille d'Or? Would you say this is a good combination? Thank you

@markwoods4574 2 года назад

In the UK people turn there noses up at thrift / second hand / charity shops , but the stuff you can get is nearly new and in some it’s department stores getting rid of last season’s stock.

How do I lessen or not get streaks that result after brushing and mirror shining?

Evenly apply your product. Lighter pressure when brushing. Buffing with a microfiber cloth. These steps have been tried and true for me.

@1GQ_gent 4 года назад

12:42 It's pure Kirby, We! "The Hanger Project" appears to be an opportunist to boost his sales "WE! got the high shine chamois" If Preston enjoys using cut up cotton t-shirts from Walmart or Acetone to remove factory sheen even an ice cube instead of your products it's incredibly humbling

Dude it’s really weird for me. You wear so nice cloths, bespoke suits, best quality leather shoes but in entire video your haircut looks really bad. Please do something with that cause it helps with improve your image up to perfect.

@williamcoolidge9884 4 года назад

M Mo - Please post pics of your haircut so I can tell you how bad it looks. Good grief! This is why I don't post RU-vid videos. Random idiots criticizing the most ridiculous things. And often being wrong (as is the case here).

@tamaraspink4201 4 года назад

That’s mean. Why say that?

@mmo2522 4 года назад

Tamara Spink just because Kirby’s Allison chanel is about how to be good looking classy man. Kirby is talking about bespoke suits, high quality cosmetics to take care of your leather shoes. So about ingredents of external appearance. And I just write down my opinion that his haircut makes anxious image. Maybe its mean, or maybe it’s just little advice.

@mmo2522 4 года назад

William Coolidge There is no options to post pictures on RU-vid and its sounds really frustrated that you claim in advice that my haircut is bad. BTW- it’s funny in some interpretations your post sounds like you roast yourself.

M Mo There is *literally* nothing wrong with his haircut!
