My First Bespoke Shirt Commission from Kent, Haste & Lachter

While in London recently for the first fitting of my incredible new linen suit from master tailor Terry Haste, I decided it was finally time to introduce myself to the third arm of the famous Kent , Haste & Lachter tailoring house. Until now my time had solely been spent with legendary tailors Kent and Haste, but the firm is just as well known for the fantastic shirts that are made by renowned shirt tailor Stephen Lachter.

The shirt service that Lachter offers is purely bespoke; the shape, style, cloth, colour and finer details can all be individually specified. Once the cloth is chosen and the collar, cuff and details are decided, Lachter will take measurements and assess you figuration. Your posture effects the way a shirt hangs, and so when drafting up your unique bespoke shirt pattern it is important to not only work from measurements.

So join me as I begin the wonderful journey of commissioning my first bespoke shirt from Stephen Lachter at Kent, Haste & Lachter!

For some reason it makes me happy seeing more and more younger people in that workshop every time you come back to it. The craft goes on.

Kirby I just want to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos. as a traumatized afghan vet, your videos relax me before bed and help me sleep. Plus I’m constantly using the info to upgrade how I dress, such as only wearing dress shoes and a button up shirt anytime I leave the house. Thank you!

You just know that these shirts are going to be top notch quality.
They’re a good way of keeping the weight off you as well as your wallet too!

As a fashion and sewing teacher it's a pleasure ti watch this great master video

[GregoryGuerrier]

Excited to see part 2 & thanks for taking us with you on your journey!

[BullyBoxer]

Gotta be honest, I’m quite envious of Kirby having all these clothes made.😂

I watch these videos and I think how special it must be to be a tailor and work in those shops. It would be an honor to visit one those places one day.

You are in the safe hands of master craftsmen; worth every penny.

This is a masterclass…in British humor.

[skipgiblets]

That was pretty cool seeing the stack of collars.

The knowledge in this video is incredible.

About halfway through all I noticed was the massive bakery behind suyamba… she’s fantastic in every way

47 years and ongoing. I wonder how many shirts Stephen's done in that time, must be thousands by now. It looks like Terry has taken over John's old cutting board and Sayumba has moved over to Terry's. I've got some made to measure shirts but I'd love to do some proper bespoke at some stage. Another great series on the go here.

Great video. Nice to see George Atanasias (ex Turnbull & Asser) in the background during some of the shots. He made a superb pattern for me at T&A.

What would be interesting is an overcoat commission

[cherylbean]

It's an exact science. Enjoyed watching.

Funny, just watched the older video about the difference between a $100 rtw CH and a $1000 bespoke Charvet shirt.
Today it made me wearing my only bespoke shirt I have (by Luigi Borrelli) again after a year or so.
I completely forgot how comfortable that feels.
Indeed, apart from the fabrics, also the armpits making a clear difference, compared to ready to wear. 😮👍
