Here is probably the only comment you'll ever receive from a 30-something female viewer. I enjoy these videos because it shows gentlemen –– a total lost art and rare sight from any female perspective. It refreshing to see respectful, timeless behavior and fashion to boot. I find it immensely attractive and feel lost in the modern man's messy taste and pervasive narcissism.

Gotta say, nobody can bust balls as subtly, humorously, and classy as Nick…

I would also enjoy an episode of second hand store shopping with Nick's son. He has a great eye for fashion on a budget.

52:24 The words I live by in my sartorial life.
"If you have something that is so like itself and unlike everything else, it's never gonna be in fashion or out of fashion."

"Funeral director on holiday on south of France" :) Love how Kirby can take a joke! Really entertaining video!

[ARlELATOM]

I really admire your humility Kirby. You are an expert in your field already, yet you are still willing to listen and learn.

What an absolute TREAT! As a devout Foulkes & Sons viewer, I really enjoyed this deeply stylish collaboration between two of my favorite authorities on all matters sartorial. Thanks so much for the content!!

Nick's humor and wit is legendary.

Allow me to say that the production values of your more recent videos really have skyrocketed. Such a sleek yet engaging watching experience.

Terry quietly stole the show, such a friendly, humble, soft spoken, yet master of his craft.

"Even though I designed it myself, it's a work of bloody genius" (33:01) - Nick Foulkes' style is so engagingly eccentric as to serve as the perfect foil to Kirby's ultra-smooth conservatism

It's been a long time coming Kirby; because of this channel I decided it was time to "up my game", no longer wear off the rack clothing. I scheduled time with a tailor to have my first couple suits fitted to me. I will commission 2 British style suits to honor my heritage (and because I like the look). I'm looking forward to the experience. Thank you.

I must say, Kirby, one of your very best videos! Mr Faulks is a style icon and I think much more akin to my own tastes. It was fun to watch the the two of you interact and I must congratulate you on running with such a self deprecating theme; you're a true gentleman.

The flow of English from Mr. Foulkes is just profound.

Nick Foulkes is a national treasure, we need to protect him at all costs.

I love your channel, I've discovered it not long ago. I started to dress"better" after my newborn daughter's funeral. This day I knew something had to change, and I started to dress in a more classical. Even if I don't wear a complet suit, I generally try to mix, chinos with sport jackets. In winter, I have discovered heavy tweed jackets. I have seen Mister Foulkes in a book called "We are Dandy". Kirby Allison, in some way, you and others gentlemen helped me a lot through my pain. Dressing well is a cure for all the ugliness of the world and pain we can feel in our personal lives. I'm 31 and I live in southern France.

So elegant gentlemen, ..in their conversations, ... with absolutely gorgeous cinematography, especially using mirrors, ... So wonderful scene!

[bartderuyck]

Kirby, kudos to you and the team: the production values are amazing on this one. Superb work!

[johnnymetallica]

Mr. Foulkes first struck me as another legendary Gary Oldman character, but he's as genuine as they get. Absolutely love any video he is in. He wears his confidence as well as he wears his suits. Great work!!! So entertaining.
