The shop has a beautiful atmosphere. Sun pours through the big front windows on an afternoon like this, lighting up Kirk’s model jackets. He has a thing for glen check, in fact was wearing a lovely pair of heavy trousers in that pattern when we met. And the model above is obviously in a glen-check suit. It is cut, as Kirk’s normally are, with a single button and sharp cutaway, though running round to a regular-length back.
Kirk is not a cutter. He is a designer and a salesman, though there is a tailor on site – basting together a jacket as we talked. The cutting for the custom (bespoke) service is done off site, though Kirk hopes soon to have the scale of business to justify a full-time cutter in the shop.
Very Interesting Information;I really like the combination of colors & patterns in the top photo…….thank you for this Incredible post Simon,I enjoyed it…….
Do you know the fabric reference number in the first pic?
I’m afraid not, no, but I’ll ask
Simon
Kirk says it was an end piece from a local supplier I’m afraid. Sorry
Fantastic! Kirk Miller deserves more press in the menswear blogosphere. Awesome shop.
