One of my favourite moments of my live was, when I got my suit handed over and was told "welcome to huntsman"

@davidreeves4556 2 года назад

Great showmanship and presentation that.

@Jim58223 5 лет назад

Kirby these videos are great. But a critique of mine is the way you interview the person. Instead of asking questions or letting the subject answer the questions you make very long monologues and statements. It's great that you know so much about each house, but I think it would be best if you left the explaining to the interviewee. If you want to do more info on each house, maybe state that at the beginning of each video.

@MBJ2023 5 лет назад

Absolutely agree

@joel1418 5 лет назад

Yeah really annoying lol

@scarletzebra11 5 лет назад

its hard to fault Kirby though, as his technique for interviewing may have developed from interviewees who give short answers. these are experts in their field after all. many of them have secrets they don’t want to let go of. when kirby says something it may be easier for them to answer when they realize that they’re talking to a peer who knows.

@Jim58223 5 лет назад

s. zebra I disagree. If they allow Kirby to film and interview, they would know his reputation or knowledge of the subject. Moreover, Kirby's monologues are longer than the answers the interviewee gives. So either way the answers given are still short. There are other ways to get people to explain more or talk more than you yourself talking longer than them. I think monologues defeat the purpose of getting long answers from the interviewee, as they feel they have nothing more to add to the discussion, because all that can be said has already been stated by the interviewer.

@scarletzebra11 5 лет назад

Jim Ferdinando thats true... and it would be nice to get more of the personality of the interviewee during this sort of thing. its a tough balancing act to do interviews, skew one way too much and its all about you, skew another then they’ll feel like their talking to themselves.

@richardpicking4459 3 года назад

I started my working life at Huntsman in 1976 and clearly recall the very stylish Colin Hammick and the moody Brian Hall who worked the cutting bench behind. There were some real characters working there in the late seventies and some very special and well known clients. I once had to drop some hunting clothes off at Buckingham Palace, and another time had to to go back to the Albany with some Lord to collect three pheasants shot at the weekend. I thought they would be in a bag but instead had to walk along Piccadilly and Regent Street holding these dead birds by their necks.

Just had a lovely conversation with Michael of huntsman and he spoke of this very service to which I found most heart warming to know that your children can not only have your cloths but have a service to refit them in a way that truly shows huntsman craft and brilliance in what they do... Creating memories with a fabric feel...

@Hotspur62 5 лет назад

My first bespoke was a 3 piece Huntsman in a blue bird's eye cloth from H&S. It is an iconic cut, BUT I'm only 5'8 and the long skirt of the coat does not flatter my frame. I eventually found that Neapolitan cut suits fits me best given my body proportions. It was a $6,000 lesson :-)

@thegougy 4 года назад

bespoke tailor should have told you :/ /at least I think :D Still waiting for my very first bespoke/

@koettfaers 4 года назад

And the tailor didnt tell you that? Isnt that the only thing that sets apart top dollar clothing and just really expensive one? It isnt anymore about quality of materials and such, its about seeing the individual and making best effort of getting the right fitting product just for you. You people spend money, because the act of spending big buck really seem to be the most important part. You dont even have the common sense to actually demanding something in return for those extra thousands of dollars. You blow my mind.

@MrThomas401 5 лет назад

Kirby standing next to this very understated distinguished gentleman looked like a little boy playing dress up ...

@chet6286 4 года назад

Kirby in my opinion looks better, those browns make the man blend into the walls, also Kirby hardly looks off the walls in gray white and black (or navy I can’t tell). The whole “understatement” part of classic menswear isn’t my favorite tradition, it lead to things like business casual and other silly relaxed dress codes. Nothing wrong with not dressing like cream of wheat soup.

@Ritermann 4 года назад

Agree. Trying to think why that may be, I believe it's because he is trying to hard. His Suit Color and Tie scream for attention. Also, the Interviewer must be the equivalent of a best Man or Brides maids at a wedding: "Never look better than the Bride". Otherwise you will draw the attention too much onto your person rather than the actual person of interest. This goes for Dresscode as same as the way the Interviewer asks questions and Interview Styles etc.

@dr_sami9257 4 года назад

I can totally agree with you, but mostly because there is a big style comparison. He wears a more business type suit, which personaly looks more casual. And the guy next to him wears a more traditional and elegant suit.

@goprojoe7449 4 года назад

Yeah, harsh but true. He's playing dress up, but I suppose he's doing what makes him happy and doing no harm, so long as it's not an ego trip.

@potatopotato1639 4 года назад

Really interesting, though Kirby needs to work on minimising his use of 'you know', it's a bit distracting.

@YacDiesel 4 года назад

Craig Brown I have that same issue. We all have a tendency to fall back on “filler words” as a crutch when searching for what to say next.

@rorrt 4 года назад

@@YacDiesel Maybe phatic words would be a better fit. But meh, same difference. They're just words which communicate next to no information, but are just used. One thing which I have snapped out of the habit of using, especially on the phone speaking to clients is "essentially", "basically" and "I feel". It's been hard. But it's a long road to recovery.

Dear Kirby, could you do a video on high quality Italian suits from Attolini, Brioni and Kiton etc.? Either bespoke or RTW? Beeing aware that your focus is primarily on English suits, I would find it particularly interesting, how someone like you with so much knowledge about the British craftsmanship, would compare the quality and finish of the British to the Italian makers. Thanks

@randyfuller7294 5 лет назад

Kirby I don’t know if you read this or not. But please please please consider Jacket construction, different types of interlining of Canvas and other interlinings that is often talked about in your videos but never discussed in detail. They often referred to as different types of canvases and different materials and methods on the inside linings and support materials of the jacket. However I never get to see this type of construction (Or options) of these types of materials I have heard from anything from Canvas to silk from other types of materials. Each one I understand is different for different reasons help us understand the inside of our garment exquisite jacket, thank you very much I love your program!!!!

@Fistful_of_Thimbles 3 года назад

It seems to be a reoccurring trend on Campbell's suits to have at the very least a fairly noticeable collar gap. I assume they must be old suits and if not I'm curious as to why it happens for him, since most Huntsman jackets do fit snug around the wearers neck...

That frequent collar gap on Mr. Carey's suit though... Hmmm...

@staceychow9960 5 лет назад

Yes, shocking...no one currently at Huntsman ever apprenticed under Colin Hammick/Brian Hall or their disciples. So all the cutters there interpret Hammick's iconic Huntsman house cut. Richard Anderson, AFAIK, was the last to apprentice under Hammick and left in 2001 to open up his own shop, taking along a lot of Huntsman staff with him...

@bespokefashion5259 Год назад

@grumsta 5 лет назад

There's an issue with the lighting in this video causing an unsettling strobing effect. There is a plugin which will remove it, and I think you can eliminate it using a different shutter speed when filming also.

@kirbyallison 5 лет назад

Yes, thank you. The camera team was aware on the shoot, however the fluorescent lighting in the shop had a pulse frequency that was strange. It did not go away, no matter what shutter speed was used. In the end, it was decided that the content was worth putting up with the banding, much to our own chagrin. We will endeavour to avoid issues like this in future

Campbell's shirt cuff seems to end at his jacket cuff. When he pulls his arm up, the jacket retracts a bit, revealing the shirt cuff. I'm learning about these things, and deciding which I like more.

It’s a sad fact, if you want a genuine Huntsman Cut suit and/or Coat you get it from Richard Anderson next door who was trained by Colin Hammick & Brian Hall the 2 Master Tailors of Huntsman. Richards book ‘Bespoke’ is an amazing history of Huntsman, who sadly went bust twice and lost all the real cut as it’s wasn’t passed on in the traditional way. Nice video Kirby 👍
