Kirby is the Doug DeMuro of apparel: all about quirks and features.

“Holy smokes-eroo!” LOL. With zero irony. I love this channel.

Glad to be back watching the videos, since landing a new job after graduating in December! Ready to start building my tie collection and transitioning from plastic hangers to the Hanger Project!

Hi Kirby. I enjoy watching your video’s while fixing my socks. I woud be in a complete dilemma having to choose just one or two shoes out of so many. Your videos have taught me so much about classic men style. You, mister Schneider from the Gentlemans Gazette and Hugo Jacomet are the best on the internet. Thank you so much and please keep educating us especially in these dark and negative times

Thant's a lot of options. I don't wear trainers either, but must agree, these are amazing. For me, Lopez in suede on a rubber is #1 pick. Extremely versatile, all-weather loafers for all the occasions except those formal ones that don't take place often anymore. Coupled with corduroy trousers and a shawl collar cardigan with a knitted tie, those loafers will deliver exceptional style and functional performance throughout the autumn.

My top 3 The double monk The tan museum calf loafer The loafer with the super casual sole I'm gonna take your advice about shoes. I've been eyeing a pair of loafers and I think they wouldnt add much to my wardrobe in terms of coverage. Screw coverage. I love em.

i have a pair of AE Perth sneakers and they are one of my favorite pairs. They are walnut in color with the woven sides and a captoe. I wear them so much with jeans and on the weekends if i am going to be walking a lot. People look down on sneakers but the right pair can get you a lot of casual wear while still looking great.

Note the shoe trees go fully above the heel to give support to all of the heel not just most of it.

Another magnificent video Kirby. I liked the Strand wingtip the most. Lobb, Edward Green and Gaziano and Girling make amazing shoes. I like Gaziano and Girling the most , becaus of their "bespoke"-like look in a ready to wear shoe. Sales must be terrible at the moment for these three great shoe makers.

Kirby, have you heard of the Congo Dandies? It's a really interesting story and I think eventually you should fly to Africa and do an episode with them.

Love all the shoes.. Brilliant workmanship. I wish love the with sneaker. If John lobb can convert it to golf shoes it will add their name in golf industry.

Watching you choose 3 out of 14 is so funny lol!! The struggle was really real

1. Black Captoe because it’s JL and you may as well have the fundamental core shoe from the top brand in the world. 2. The wingtip because of the work you mentioned but also because it does look quite unique to the brand. 3. The tan summer loafer because I love thin-sole summer loafers. 4. The whole cut because they have been very popular for the past two years, however I would never wear a non-patent leather shoe with black tie. 5. The pebble Lopez since I already own the Lopez in dark chocolate suede and love them but hate having to get suede resprayed all the time. Plus black loafers are tough to pull off, but even in the country club context, I’d sooner rock the 1953 horsebit loafer.

I just bought the Levah sneakers. I never thought I’d spend $800 on a pair of sneakers, but at 58, it’s time to step up to the best.

While I can understand you not wanting to go down the unpleasant road of why there's two John Lobb's on this channel, but can anyone link me to that story? I know it's something about a family feud - a tale of two brother's perhaps? Great video, Kirby. Lovely to get so much information about such a wide range of styles.

John Lobb Paris is owned by luxury group Hermes. Sometime in the 1960’s or 70’s the St James’s John Lobb licensed use of their name to raise some cash. The Paris workshop makes excellent non-bespoke shoes. However their sizing does not extend to wide fittings so not suitable for everyone.

Better than Christmas!

Thank you!! Kirby these tips and your love of elegance and impeccable suit game has enhanced my vision on my suits and shoes and knowledge of being on point with my wardrobe many thanks 👍👍👍👍

What a delicious assortment of John Lobb craftsmanship. Kirby, what is the "dust like" substance that is seen on a brand new shoe coming out of the box?

I've got 3 pairs of Lopez loafers with single leather sole, in black, dark brown museum calf and gold museum calf. Extremely comfortable after they break in and I really like the look.

Could swear I watched this video already

That spiral wingtip is amazing. It takes special talent and skill top plan that shoe.

This is an amazing set of shoes! I think I would have went for 3 Lopez 🤔

nice Man... you look more relaxed now..

Love the fact you can't decide , because that is my problem too !

Those first trainers you pulled out are beautiful, the different colours work perfectly together, if i had the money to spend i would snap them up

Those are a lot of amazing shoes to put on.

Gorgeous shoes. Going to have to add a pair of John Lobb's

I feel at home on this channel.

Kirby, If you can get in touch with Aportnoy, please do an update on his shoe collection or tell us what he is up to today.

Exelente video

That sneaker looks like a 1980s Pro wing

the 3rd shoe is the best

please help and explain ProducerMichael what is classic men suit and shoes you need to try at least he has some specific taste

Fantastic collection.

so how many of these did you get to keep ?

1. Semi Brogue, 2. Black Captoe, 3. Wholecut, 4. Museum Calf loafer, 5. Unstructured loafer, 6. Minimalist white sneaker 👞👟

Do you have a agreement that if you review the shoes you get to keep them or did you pay for all the shoes.

did you buy all of these or did you get them for free on review?

I like the choice, take them all :)

Gorgeous, re the double monks - my wife is a fan, I’m not. I’ve got a couple pairs because she likes them; but I must be too traditional. Great stuff as usual Kirby. The Trent & the Beckett are nice.

Which John Lobb is better British or French-made? And is JL or Edward Green better? Thank you!

I m here in Dubai,, I m beginning of shoe collect or ,, so how you grade Magnnani shoe ,,

The wingtip Strand appears to be an austerity brogue.

How would you rate the Hermès mocassins tarmac loafer compared to these ?

How do two brands operate with the same name at the international stage? It’s so strange.

Interesting video ! Precursory, not "pre-cursi-ary".

What kind of sneakers premium leather do you recommend? I'd love something that can be resoled

Feels good

Wow, do you get to keep those, and if so what's your foot size?

Are you going to carry JL in your store, Kirby? 😉

do Dehner boots review next and riding boots to

I wish I could get some new shoes

Did they send you all the same size, which in my mind would make sense if you are trying to do any kind of comparison, and did they all least send in your size so you could try them on?

wow xmas came early

Did he buy 14 pairs or did they send them to him as an "influencer" to review?

What kind of wife would allow her man to buy that many shoes? Unless we're talking about the super rich, I mean. All of the shoes in this presentation are fantastic!

Most of us your shoes have same design

Hi great shoes to have

How much did all this cost?

sigh. my life is not complete. i don't have a cap-toe oxford. where's that hemlock?

Did they let you keep all of these?

Why all black? So many colours available less boring specially for that price

The first and the last

In theory, would you measure your feet once then have that company make all your shoes from that one measurement?.

Are they all his size?

20:51

Did I hear a pee-curse-e-airy at 1:23? Wow....

You might want to brush the shoe before you showcase them ,,,Beautiful shoes by the way !

Kirby, Sir, I really must tip my Homburg to you, as you have undoubtedly got the record for the number of bahxes you unbahx in a single unbahxing. A little OTT, as the British say, but what the hell, y'only live the once.

How tf do you not wear sneakers?

Oh oh i can see my student loan on that table

Isn't this a repeat ??

Kerby, You dress so impeccably I just wish just before doing the things you do so well you would put on a pair of wrist to just above elbow clothing protectors. Black with elastic at wrist and just above elbow. You put apron on but I cringe when I see the white cuffs of your shirt and suit so close to shoe polish etc. Thanks. It will keep my hair from standing up as you work your information and magic.

honestly and lv / Gucci i would prefer if i had to spend so much

unboxing FOURTEEN PAIRS of shoes?? WOW! lol

First??? Say it ain't so.

Oh to be rich to afford something like this.

This is a repeat video...

Kirby, Why doesn't you worry about your expensive bespoke shirt 's bad finish below the tie knot all the time. Can you afford this? Strange taste !

Does your wife get as many shoes as you?

This time I have to say that money doesn't buy style. Of course you can talk about craftsmanship and quality but unfortunately it's just dull..and grayish none of your shoes evoked something that told me I had to have these pairs of shoes... nevertheless costs John Lobb From €2000...

I don''t much care for rich ponces flaunting their wealth. Lobb's are over-priced anyway.

Sorry KA, while I respect your style and keeping true to being you, I struggle to trust a gentleman who can’t put on a pair of sneakers!

Hey, Kirby, It looks like a pair of regular shoes nothing special. You are lured into buying something more expensive than its own good man !🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣

Pretentious
