    of course this is art too.
    clock. a large chapter.
    I found my grandfather's watch. 1952 year of manufacture. it was in the closet since 1979 when he passed away.
    French company.
    Not expensive but great value.
    with enough patience the repair was done.leather straps. now it is in the right hands. in mine.
    well done kirby

    Hi Kirby, I'm so grateful that I found your channel. I'm enjoying your Cuba 🇨🇺 series now. It was a good catch that the lighter case was too short. Hopefully, they can make the pouch taller, yet retain the ability to insert and remove the lighter with ease. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

    I have seen, I would say, about 12 of Kirby's offerings. I don't know why but this one captured my attention the most. I believe its the staff at Jean Rousseau Atelier. They are original. They CAD guy freaks me out a little, I love being surprised by his nonchalant demeanor

    I don’t doubt the quality of their products but this was not a good advert for JR. When asked for something outside of their normal range, they seemed a bit lost. They did not put forward any worthy ideas, luckily Kirby was there to guide them.
    May I suggest a tab to lift the lighter from the case. If the case fits well, which you would hope,it may be difficult to remove it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
    Keep up the good work Kirby. I appreciate your commitment to sharing new products, ideas and information, and letting us share your journey.

  • @williamumbach592
    @williamumbach592 Před 5 měsíci +3

    Agree Kirby, the case should completely surround/protect the lighter. If any of it is to be exposed, it should not be any of the 8 corners. (Leaving only an opening on the side(s) or no opening at all). I think the design at the end of this video falls far short of what you’re envisioning. Hopefully the finished product will be beauty, protection, and functional (easy to put lighter in and out). Without any doubt it will be quality craftsmanship. Can’t wait to see it.

    A sleeve or pouch would also keep the "ping" audible. A capped or sealed case would muffle the sound of the lighter. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

    • @kirbyallison

    @GoofstersWorld Před 5 měsíci +1

    I would probably had asked for a small golden strap of a soft cloth (maybe linen or something) for on the inside of the case.. so then you could give a little tuck on that little strap to slide the lighter out of the case more easily. I could even see that incorporate with the leather strap coming over the top, that when you open it it already tucks it out just exactly enough that you are able to take the lighter out completely.. (I hope I explained my vision well enough)

  • @ABC-rh7zc

    I think communication and listening was lacking here.
    Kirby seems to want a case with the same leather and gold thread as the watch strap, that he can take the lighter out of when he want's to, but something that fully covers the lighter and is fully functional while in the case too. I don't think that was fully understood by the Designers.

    • @alan1480
      @alan1480 Před 5 měsíci

      He says that he just wants basically a pouch that he would take the lighter in and out of. So he doesn’t want it to be used while in the case.

    For me one of the most distinctive features of these series apart from the stuff and fabrics… I would sign the refinement of the prosody and English elegance, it does not snobbish but cool and polite, You always have to find something you identify in, not matter just if luxury or not, in essence play with your natural skills and prospects. Something that educational system is not used to it.

    You might also consider a KA monogram, but pressed into the leather, not printed.

    It doesn't look like covering the lighter permanently is a good idea. The lighter itself is a piece of art that has to be proudly displayed and visually enjoyed all by itself, not in a pouch.

  • @i.o.3563
    @i.o.3563 Před 5 měsíci +1

    What an amazing idea to just leverage your strap with a lighter case.
    Being perfectly honest, I'm not sure about the design at this stage. If the whole lighter covered, how will you be able to take it out? It has to fit snugly. Maybe they will come with some solution, but that isn't clear from the video.

    • @thenazarite2444

  • @oskarek57
    @oskarek57 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Well they showed him a 80% solution. You can see, that the lighter is not protected completely and the higher part is still unprotected, so if Kirby grabs the case with the lighter and it falls down on the floor, it still could damage the upper part of the lighter, so no logic in this. The lighter should be covered completely, because the purpose is pure protection, which Kirby tells them in the end. Somehow I think, that employes in Jean Russeau want littlebit to force their visions on their customers, wchich I really don´t like, because you pay a lot of money for the products and it is bespoke, which means customer own vision and not the other way. Maybe I am mistaken, but I would feel that way at least for a few minutes.

    Kirby I've got to say that compared to the bespoke houses you normally associate with, this is not it. Both the sales rep and Michelle were very disappointing. Poor active listening and a clear lack of understanding and experience with the subject matter. I for one would take my business elsewhere - we have amazing bespoke makers in Sydney who while not providing the "prestige" and heritage of a renowned brand, would produce a better experience and product at a much cheaper price. I'm sure off camera you politely provided the feedback and reworked a superior design given the price of this product.
