    2 things about this video:
    1- my turtleneck is too thick for this suit. I grabbed the wrong one to shoot the talking part of this video. That makes my jacket look too small for me. SUIT MISTAKE!
    2- not being political with the thumbnail. President Trump’s ties are just always too long :)

    So Alex
    There are a few things wrong with this suit :
    First off, the shoulders are not the right size, the sleeves should be a centimeter or two lower, the bottom of the jacket should also be fairly lower.
    I work with menswear ,tailoring specifically and overall this looks more like a Zara fit than a classic and timeless suit.
    Do consider going a size up on the jacket

      I think the fit conforms to the latest styles. Everything looks a size too small. Jackets too tight and too short. Pants so tight you need stretchy material and too short like we're expecting a flood. Hard to find a comfortable relaxed fit. I hate the look and it's not a new look. This look was tried in the sixties and gave way to the funky seventies.

  • @pflau1
    @pflau1 Před 5 lety +20

    I am a classic dresser and I beg to differ on many points in this video.
    Point 1: A smart watch is perfectly fine. The important thing is the shirt needs to be made with a custom cuff to fit the watch underneath so it is only visible when it is used.
    Point 2: Leave stitching in pockets that you don’t use is fine.
    Point 3: Watch at 1:45 is way too big to be worn with the style of suit in the video.
    Point 4: Suit is TOO tailored. The Tom Ford look is popular now but it is very unforgiving. An extra sweater or a vest will throw the line of the suit off. Also, paints are too short. The paint legs should touch the top of the shoes so socks are not visible.
    Point 5: A thicker wallet is OK as long as the jacket has enough room to accommodate it. What is unsightly is the wallet creating a bulge such that the lapels do not lie flat against the chest.
    Point 6: Three button is fine - you only need to button the middle button. But a Tom Ford style jacket just isn’t long enough to accommodate three buttons.
    Point 7: Trump’s tie is not too big as long as his lapel width matches.
    Point 8: I’ve actually seen label left on jacket sleeve. I don’t care if it says silk or mohair it is not tasteful.
    Point 9: The Tom Ford highly fitted look might just be a passing fad. Especially that it has a tendency to expose shirt fabric above the belt buckle.
    Point 10: Pocket square tends to be pretentious unless for an evening formal affair.

Either way, if you do a google search you will see that his style is current and has been for at least 20+ years.

They provide a good base (especially if you`re looking for feature you won`t find on a rack) but their tailoring is sub par. I always have to take mine to my tailor (after Indochino`s tailor tried to fix their mess ups) to get the look I am going for.

    I'm 24, and I've always loved wearing suits since I was in Highschool. The problem is that there are no good stores in which I can buy a good suit nor tailor shops in which they are specially prepared to make a good suit. I always struggle finding good separated pieces o create my own suit and it is terribly difficult. I wish I could get one of those amazing suits. Men are loosing that elegant and impressive style we used to have. Weraing these pieces of art is something that really makes me feel happy.

      Buy quality movements nothing worse than a $500 fashion watch with a 10 dollar quartz movement no blingy watches or techno ones with a suit. Chronograph ok if its analogue and you're an engineer.
      Doesn't have to be a Lange and Sonne, Rolex, Piget,or Paneri but no fakes!
      Ball,Steinhart,Orient,Seiko,laco,Sinn,Hamilton or other mid horological pieces, swiss,German,or japanese. Preferably analogue and mechanical if you can afford it.
      Probably the best dress watch value is the Orient bambino. In house automatic mechanical movement with many styles and colors starting at around $100 or the seiko 5 line, literally 100s to choose from all analogue day date automatics with see through movement screw down case backs.

    I agree with everything you said however, I disagree with your first tip about Apple watches. Apple watches can be styled with the right straps which can blend into a formal outfit such as a suit.What I see is that, some guys wear size 44mm watches on their small hands. I recommend getting the right size watch that's proportionate to your hand size. But nonetheless, cheers for the brilliant tips mate.

      A dual time zone watch with marble and ebony wood face (handy for keeping the markets open/close on hand)
      A really kool watch that was super cheap when you push a button 2 doors open on the front to read it., otherwise it looks like a bracelet.... nearly all my watches are slimline and I only wear the slim ones with any suit jacket

    You’re making one the biggest mistakes in wearing a suit, with the bottom of your shirt and belt being visible under your suit jacket which draws attention to your crotch which is disadvantageous when wearing a suit. Your trousers should sit higher at your natural waist line so the shirt is not visible underneath where the jacket splits at your belt. This will create a nice seamless look.

    @francoisvola3611 Před rokem +1

    It's all a matter of taste and style, when I had two suits cut by a French and an Italian tailor in France, they recommended to stay in the classic. The shoulder seams should match the shoulders angles or edge, the jacket should go all the way to the bottom of the buttocks, the back of the paints bottoms should be a little longer than the front so they seat nicely over the shoes, the jacket should be buttoned when standing or walking and opened when sitting. Finally the suit should be not too small to have maximum comfort and not look like you're wearing your little broter's suit. And always remember that trendy "à la mode" styles like those long pointy shoes, go out of style, a classic style never goes out!

    You are yourself wearing a trending suit in this video. A modern suit, that is way too tight, wrinkles as you move your arms, and defines every muscle. A classic suit should fit like armor, meaning; it should be snug, but not tight, and it should drape well, without leaving creases.
