All these episodes with bespoke artisans are fascinating. It's a real privilege and a joy to experience the depth and breadth of knowledge of these incredible creators. Please keep making these types of videos Kirby, they're such a pleasure to watch.

As an Italian, I love his French direct approach - just shut up and let me teach you, if he was British it would be 20 mins of small talk and tangents into how he once found a shoe inside a tree.

Yeah we're all like that in France... The only moment where we'll have a small talk is around a beer at the "Apéro"

@Ganjasmith 4 жыл бұрын

@@scottinbristol Idk if that is polite, I think its just a cultural habit. For example in having a waiter have small talk with you for 20 mins when you are trying to have dinner with your family is considered very rude in other countries

Did you ask about external factors? For example, does he only take measurements in the mornings or afternoons, or if he takes that into account along with other possible factors as the temperature or humidity that day?

Yeah, I'm not sure about the intensity of it...I kind of liked the jazzy intros, a bit less serious and classy. Getting it right just hard though, I assume he will iterate on this further. I think a shot of him walking in a suit in paris would be better than the shot with the cap (hamburg...dunno not a hat guy).
