Through this incredible process, we witness the artistry and expertise of Henry Poole & Co. and cutter Tom Pendry at work. In today's episode, Eddie attends his second fitting, allowing us to further witness this magnificent bespoke suit come to life.

Whilst I appreciate Eddie is a consummate salesman, his polite treatment of others really is a joy to see.

[ddho]

Very encouraging to see craftsman still passionately exist.

[steveworrell]

I have to say, Kirby, you do a wonderful job of making London look beautiful.

[Ceilliau]

Such a pleasure to see the skilled artisans at work

"We try and steer gentlemen towards discretion over flamboyance, " said the discerning Mr Pendry, politely ignoring Kirby's bright yellow tie. 😁 A wonderful episode!

I had the pleasure of meeting Simon Cundey two weeks ago at Henry Poole while I was visiting London for the first time with my family. It was a spontaneous pop in and we discussed how your videos led me to his establishment. Simon was very pleasant even when he knew I wasn't in the market for a bespoke suit. Seeing the cutters at work behind Simon's desk and appreciating the history behind Henry Poole was such a highlight. I even posed for a pic with Simon. Thanks Kirby for all you do.

I may never get a bespoke suit, but the process is fascinating! Eddie is a class act.

[ramonovazquez]

I know that many of us that watch these videos will probably never get to the level of been able to afford a bespoke suit, nevertheless I have learned so much and truly enjoy and appreciate the work that goes into making a garment like this. There has to be a different feeling of watching your suit been made by hand and the connection to the people that take the time to make sure it is perfect. And also, to know that there is only one like it in the world. I am grateful for mass manufacturing, but the unintended consequences are the disconnect much like the farm and the dinner plate - We lose that human connection. Thanks, Kirby, for the work that you do.

Kirby,
Thank you for granting us the opportunity to join you and the wonderful team at Henry Poole in the creation of Eddie's first bespoke suit. Observing the process and benefiting from Thomas's insightful explanations has been truly enlightening.

What a beautiful gift from one true gent to another, the Davidoff green is a genius touch of class too. Stunning.

[psbrayshaw]

I could watch Kirby and Eddie all day. Thank you both. 👌🙌👏

[morganuk]

Excellent addition of the cigar pocket. Having a couple of the "Boss's favourite" about your person is a comforting thing.

[nickthompson]

Tom is superb. I love his advice, and his skills, as shown here, are exemplary.

This has been one of the best of your recent videos and I really appreciate that Kirby interjected a little less than in the last episode, so we could see more of the master tailor - client relationship.

Eddie was on point with one suggestion: Can we see a follow up episode with Tom and Eddie on post delivery suit care. Simon at permanent style did something like this a few years ago which was very good but I think another angle would be rather useful. Excellent series Kirby!

[HighMaintenancePS]

The suit Kirby wears in this episode is fantastic. I aspire.

[Thetyrerepairer]

The expression of pure joy on Eddie’s face, As he tries his jacket on is priceless.
Back in the 70s I worked at a Taylor’s, But never got to see the customer trying his suit on. That was something only the boss got to see.

[A_English_Gent]

I really enjoy that Kirby can take us all on this journey. It might be for the few that are capable and able to have this life style, but I'm sure we all can enjoy the fact of the craftmanship that is shown and up most pride in there work, and that enjoyment that Eddie is having from this to.

[da]

thanks for this, I love the focus on the craft itself, rather than chitchat. these videos will become an important historical document in😊 so far as they would capture these overlooked yet precious craftsmen and women.

[ciaranoloan]

That suit, waistcoat and hat combination looks great. Especially like the contrasting waistcoat!

[jrooney]

I really like how Mr Pendry explains what they are trying to do in the construction of the suit, and what he is looking for in fitting the suit to Eddie . That’s really valuable for this kind of video.

[SimplyTakuma]

Eddie looks absolutly classy in this suit!
And big respect to Tom, he is very mindful and thinks a lot of his clients, eyecontact on every question and answers.
