Re: Alex Kabbaz Youtube videos

Thanks for posting.  Surprised they were not posted elsewhere.  While, generally, well done, and executed in a pleasant way, perhaps surprisingly, the videos don't quite capture what distinguishes K-Man from other bespoke shirtmakers.  Sure, the shirts fit, but, after all, that's not a unique proposition and other shirtmakers offer a well-fitted shirt for a lot less money.  I would have liked to see more shirts and a variety of styles and collars.  Those I've seen have somewhat of a generic style.  I was especially surprised to see the generic double button collar closure with the buttons so close to each other.  The design my own shirtmaker has devised, buttons diagonally positioned, and with more space between the buttons, is far better.  Still, for most "civilians," I think the videos will be well-received.

As revealed by the extreme tightness around his belly, I bet K-man's wearing of a tie gave some relief to the cameraman, lest some MOP missiles should be shot from within.

The videos destroy my impression that the shirts are handsewn.  I think the problem with AK's shirt is that his pants are too tight.  Nothing that a few miles of jogging wouldn't cure. 

I was prepared to dislike Alex based on his AAAC posts.  I am not sure I could ignore the posts but might be more inclined to hire him based on the videos.

He does seem like an engaging, personable guy. But he still shows the same holes in his reasoning as in his AAAC posts, and he seems to get the most upset when his reasoning is questioned.

$1,000 a shirt with an 8 shirt minimum requires a healthy budget!
