What I love about these episodes is just the subtlety and contrast which both Prof and Pete bring to the discussion. Prof is very youthful, robust and yet classically regal while Pete is very reserved, sort of the classic British gentleman. Judging from the views, the algorithm is really doing these videos dirty. Hope the episodes continue to be filmed to further educate and entertain. Thank you both and all of the AskOkey Team!
I am fascinated by these gentlemen. I have never seen time travellers so comfortable with current technologies. Jokes apart, the craftsmanship in these pieces is amazing!
New to this channel and instantly subscribed. Gentlemen, consider that your content can and will inspire a new era of gentlemen. Keep the bar high and the men will step forward.
It is always wonderful to see well dressed gentlemen in your program. I am over 70 years old, and with limited possibilities I try to dress as good as possible. You give me always new ideas.❤😉
It is beautiful that well made clothes stand the test of time and still look right. I personally have a pair of plus four trousers from 1929, and they are still in amazing condition. Good clothing will stand the test of time!
I feel like Peter hit the nail on the head near the end. Due to modern culture I have never considered wearing a formal suit. After watching these videos however, and learning about the possibilities and accessibility, I will 100% be buying a suit 👌.
Okey, you are such an inspiration to me. I am a 22 year old male and thought all hope was lost for (my) style. You have completely changed my perspective and I have gained so much knowledge. Thank you!.
I think what is so easy to miss about both Pete and Prof is that they both take care of their grooming. Pete always has sensational hair and both have very well taken care of skin and a shave. I would be fascinated to hear some opinions on general skincare, presuming you haven't put together a video about that already. Tremendous as always!
@@AskOkeyIncplease do! Pete's hair is indeed an element I find most beguiling... Always most beautifully and completely styled. I wish my own mop could be so well behaved!
Your voice is absolutely mesmerising! For some reason you remind me of Michael Caine. His beautiful role as Alfred had this distinct identity and exuberance built into the character. You represent a stylish sensibility sustained over time with a comprehensive solemn expression. The ease of posture sets a premise and promise for subtle lineament!
I can't wait to see the new morning dress ensembles when they're ready! If you ever decide to make full dress tails available, definitely count me down as a buyer!
Dante, the AskOkey Classic Morning Dress is far along. We will be launching it before the end of Q1 2024 And yes, Evening Tails to follow shortly thereafter
Ivory dinner jacket can also be worn on cruises. It should also be noted that where ivory dinner jackets can be worn in summer months, it is not absolutely necessary - black or midnight blue can still be worn and it is usually considered more formal to do so. It should also be noted that in the subtropics and tropics, ivory dinner jackets can be worn all year round at black tie events, say in a country like Brazil.
Am new to this channel but i will graduate that i will study and take the time to understand classic men's wear to turn into my style and thank you and new episodes and have a wonderful day.
@@AskOkeyInc Great! Can't wait. I have another question. If off-white dinner jackets, whether formal or semi-formal, are meant to be worn during the summertime, why are they made out of barathea? Shouldn't they be made only from mohair, as mentioned in the video?
@@siletotsiras Cream Dinner Jackets were originally worn either in the Summer or Tropical Climates (due to the color). As to the cloth, Barathea comes in different weights. There’s lighter weight Barathea which won’t drape nearly as well as the REAL McCoy I myself have never seen Mohair used on a Cream Dinner Jacket but it’s technically possible
Good morning Okey. I've noticed that there are buttons ON the lapel of the evening waistcoat in midnight blue. Was this just a design choice, as I have never ever seen buttons placed on a lapel, and most of my wardrobe from from the 1920s to 1930s. Maybe it has been done, since many rules were broken even back then. I've seen double-breasted overcoats with only one row of buttons from the 1920s. But just wondering why you've designed a waistcoat with buttons on the lapel itself when traditionally they'd start below any lapel
That’s a very good question Sir Lewis 😁 When we designed that waistcoat, we wanted to make the “U” as deep as possible in order to show off the Marcella and Studs on the Shirt. And given how short we like to have our waistcoat, you’re really FORCED into a small area to arrange the fasteners Hence the third row buttons being placed directly on the lapel Great Question and EYE FOR DETAIL 👏🏾
The suit having no lining and regular buttons isn’t unfortunate at all I think, an absolute gem of history and a significant way to remember and commemorate how and when it was made 👍🏾
Pete said that everyone wearing evening dress is "rather dull, it's just black and white". I have to disagree - there is beautiful harmony when everyone wears the same colour scheme and style. These days, every crowd looks like a mess with its clashing styles and colours.
@@AskOkeyInc I have a seamstress here locally. She does my gowns and ladies suit dresses. I would like for her to make an original piece for me but it’s the timing of course. And me coming up with a design idea
Beautiful suits gentleman. Looks extremely comfortable, would it be more comfy than your average jeans, or is it only as comfortable compared to other trousers.
There are TWO TYPES OF FLANNEL 1. WOOLEN 2. WORSTED The first is SPONGIER and more SPRINGY. The latter is MORE MILLED (FINISHED) to give it a SHARPER FINISH The latter (WORSTED) is also MORE DURABLE and hold a CREASE better. Generally speaking more suitable for SHARP TAILORING
@@NickTheGreek-m3x I don’t pay attention to that stuff. It’s mostly Italian marketing jargon for fabrics We mostly use ENGLISH CLOTH quoted in OUNCES and GRAMS PER SQUARE METER
I like 4 button double breasteds, because 6 buttons looks like the nipples on a dog! And dont get me started on hugo jacomets lapels 😆 I want to get a 2 button double breasted next
Roger, 6 Button DB Jackets do not belong on Dinner Jackets. Only on BLAZERS and Lounge Suits (which was derived from The Blazer) Let’s leave Hugo Jacomet out of this 😁
Dear Okey, do you have any tips for a 16 year old trying to get a drapy, dapper, well fitting suit within the 700 dollar budget? I am willing to spend up to 150 for alterations and tailors. Thank you.
Hearing Peter say "shoutout" is hilarious! PROFF and Peter bringing the ASMR. Always Dapper. Cheers
Why is that hilarious?
A new word added to Pete’s already unimpeachable vocabulary 😂
@@alexphillips5593 Because it’s coming form Pete 😅
Good Morning Sir Alex
Peter should be able to say whatever words he wants to, free of judgement.
@@alexphillips5593 OF COURSE Alex

It would have been great if you zoom in, especially when you are talking about the fabric. Thx for brilliant information.
Very good idea Thomas
We are getting a special lens for this purpose
Oakey is able to pull off clothes that many of us simply could not. Not everybody shape could be attractive in so much use of cloth.
You have to be willing to experiment
I love to listen and watch these two gentlemen

I must imagine he meant that in jest 😅
Of course people associate the absence of color with dullness
I think that’s the point was coyly trying to make
Well noted
Hello Professor
YES SIR 🙌🏾
Well done Sir Yaq 😁
❤Worth the investment of having a tailored fit. A seasoned tailor will want their product to look well. As it becomes vintage.
Very well said Hana 🔥

Welcome sir 🙌🏾
@AskOkeyInc can you all do a tutorial on ties, tie lengths, contrasting ties with suits and bow ties? You all will get a lot of replies..
That’s a good idea Charles. We already have that slated for this quarter in our tutorial pipeline
I'd like to ask....is it wrong to wear a black suit for a corporate event ???
We live in a hot and humid country... We are happy with slipers and jeans....
NOOOO PROBLEM Pagyan 😁
Hey Proff, whats the diference between worsted, flannel and cashmere? Also what is twill?
Also what is super 120s, 130s and so on so forth?
There are TWO TYPES OF FLANNEL
1. WOOLEN
2. WORSTED
The first is SPONGIER and more SPRINGY. The latter is MORE MILLED (FINISHED) to give it a SHARPER FINISH
The latter (WORSTED) is also MORE DURABLE and hold a CREASE better. Generally speaking more suitable for SHARP TAILORING
@@NickTheGreek-m3x I don’t pay attention to that stuff. It’s mostly Italian marketing jargon for fabrics
We mostly use ENGLISH CLOTH quoted in OUNCES and GRAMS PER SQUARE METER
Okey, when would be the proper time to wear a cream wool suit? ;)
HOW ABOUT “NEVER”
Unless of course you are “MAGIC MAN” Lazar Gudovic 😂
HAHAHAH! It's waiting to be seen by yourself for when we meet! @@AskOkeyInc
@@TheDubtFire 😂😂😂😂
You guys are GREAT🥂🥂 Is it proper / still considered black tie if you wear a tuxedo but with a black non button non collared shirt?
Well Teddy, when you lose the tie it’s no longer a “Black Tie”, is it?? 😂
Yes indeed Proff 🤣🥂
@@teddynyc1 There you go ☺️
These two would make a good SNL parody
Is that right Ken? 😅
When I see these videos i just want to wear a suit.
You really should 😁
