    Bespoke Shirt Measurements at Budd Shirtmaker | Kirby Allison
    Located in the Piccadilly Arcade right off of London's famous Jermyn Street, Budd Shirtmaker has been outfitting some of the world's best-dressed for over 100 years. In today's video, Kirby finally commissions his first bespoke shirt from this London institution. Watch Kirby meet with bespoke shirtmaker Darren Tiernan for his initial consultation and measurements.
    As part of this series, we also film Darren drafting Kirby's bespoke pattern and visit the Budd Shirtmaker workshop in Andover where all of their shirts are crafted by a small and dedicated team of seamstresses.

    I've been excited about this one. Over the course of the last month I've gone deep and learned how to make shirts myself, I've made myself a very nice fitting dress shirt. The fit was harder to nail but sewing wise it was much easier than trousers. Am excited to see what nuggets of wisdom are to be found in this Budd video series

    • @rikardplatzer4220
      @rikardplatzer4220 Před rokem +1

      Interesting to hear, because I made my first shirt before trousers, and I thought trousers were easier. Maybe it’s just because you learn so much in the beginning.

      @@rikardplatzer4220 I find the sewing part of trousers to be very difficult. The welt pockets the zipper+fly in particular. With shirts the only comparable part is the sleeve gauntlet, but it's basically just a less complicated welt pocket.
      But the fit part of trousers, I found to be much easier, it more or less just has to fit perfectly around the waist and butt, the rest just hangs relatively loose. With a shirt, it must fit perfectly around the shoulders and neck, which is a pretty dynamic area with everything effecting everything else.
      Great learning experiences though!

    I've been loving this shooting series. Mr. Allison, I would love to see you do a series on some of the historical clothes worn by working-class people like 1920's "Golden Age" of motorcycle clothing when it was still very much inspired by equestrian wear or clothing worn by early recreational aviators. And I love logging boots and forestry wear from 100 years ago, I know there are still logging boot companies like White's Boots in Spokane, Washington that have been making boots since 1853, I'd love to see a fitting and the process of making a nice pair of boots from them. I'd love to know all about the best makers of gear, equipment, and clothing worn by people like myself who work in the trades before the fast fashion brands like Carhartt took over. Thanks for reading this and considering my suggestion. Whatever you post in the future I'll be watching, this is one of the best channels I've discovered on CZcams in a long time.

    I just came to this video recommended after an Indigo Traveller video about live in Haiti. How the fuck this planet can produce two such diametrically opposed qualities of life is utterly beyond me. These guys getting fancy suits and fancy cigars and talking slowly thinking they're somehow above and beyond the rest of the struggling human race is baffling.

      @@graemeconnelly8849 They last for years and years. I’m still looking good in some bespoke Budd shirts in Swiss cotton I bought over ten years ago. They improve with every wash too and feel fantastic. Yes, it’s an expensive investment, but works out cheaper in the long run.

    Did he say "pimp themselves out for 100 hundred years"?!?!
