With the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III, there is a palpable excitement around the United Kingdom. It is hard to believe it has been almost 70 years to the day since the last coronation, of her majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II, Charles' mother.
With many events happening around the Coronation, there is plenty to be excited for, none more so than all of the wonderful black tie events. With that in mind, I have decided to use this time as a chance to upgrade some of the aspects of my black tie wardrobe. So join me as we visit two of London's most historic brands to search out some incredible additions to my wardrobe. This time from John Lobb and Budd Shirtmakers.
The original John Lobb, located at No 9 St. James’s Street in London, is widely regarded as one of the world’s preeminent bespoke shoemakers. Established in 1849, John Lobb has been discretely crafting bespoke shoes for some of the world’s most powerful and important people for over 150 years. Now run by the fifth generation of Lobb family members, John Lobb stands, as it has always done, for extremely high standards in the exacting craft of bespoke shoemaking.
Located in the Piccadilly Arcade right off of London's famous Jermyn Street, Budd Shirtmakers has been outfitting some of the world's best-dressed for over 100 years.

Very happy to hear that Budd has organic cotton fabrics. I have recently ordered two vegan, bamboo suits but my tailor did not have organic cotton for their shirts. I've found an organic cotton shirtmaker off the rack, which works well with some adjustments for now, but this is a longer-term solution (for when I have more money 💀). I've also failed to find any off the rack organic cotton black/white tie shirts, so Budd seem like the perfect solution for this one-off.

@russ9921 Жыл бұрын

Kirby, it may be too late now but you might like to ask Sartoria Gallo to take a look at your suit collar. You’re obviously subconsciously feeling that it isn’t meeting the back of your shirt given you keep shrugging at the jacket front, and there is a clear difference when you look at the collars of the suits that Darren and Jonathan are wearing. In other respects the suit is lovely.

@willre00 Жыл бұрын

That suit has had lots of issues. I also noticed it pulling around the buttonhole. It’s a beautiful suit, but my off-the-rack stuff fits better.

@TheEldarGuy Жыл бұрын

@@willre00 If you're lucky enough to be on the block for an off the rack, you are very lucky. I know someone that is a straight up 40 chest and fits the blocks. The more out of the block, the more you have to compromise, sacrifice length for chest, arms for shoulders, etc. I never discourage people from OTR, it does make life easier if you can do it.

Kirby, what did you think of the faux pas performed by Trump wearing white tie in 2019 when he attended an event by the Queen?😬

@bartderuyck Жыл бұрын

If I may offer an opinion: it was one of many sartorial gaffes. But of course, it stood out because the occasion was so special. The chief issue was the white waistcoat. It was far too long. (A recurring theme in Donald Trump's long list of menswear blunders. See also: his ties. The length of his trousers.) A waistcoat should always be shorter than a jacket. The reason is simple: a longer waistcoat skews the proportions. By having a waistcoat that long, you're creating a very strong break between the top and bottom. Especially when it runs past the jacket. It's almost 50/50 in Trump's outfit and it creates two distinct visual blocks. Especially since you're dealing in absolute contrast: black and white. Ideally, you want to shift the focus to the top of the body and lead the eyes all the way to a framed face. Trump's attempt was an absolute failure in that regard. Your eyes were drawn to the bottom of the waistcoat. It would have been better if he had stuck to his ossified '80s corporate powerhouse wardrobe antics. At least he was on terra firma there, while now he looked completely and painfully lost at sea.

@hubertuswolfthaler Жыл бұрын

Not a Trump fan, but: He was voted into office, the old bag wasn't; so why should he care about the way he's dressed while meeting her? He was the more important person in that meeting, he could've shown up in shorts and a hoodie.

British pp don't all pay 5k for a suit or £100 + for a shirt. This is as rediclous. Sometimes I watch his videos to fall asleep to. But seriously my cringe level has been reached with this video.
