Agreed that it’s personal. All my clothing is bespoke and I prefer to show virtually no cuff. Personal reasons behind it but it’s all about proportions
Like you said in the beginning of the video, it's definitely a preference... Almost no one follows these rules. Guys like Stephen A. Smith is a prime example, some days his shirt sleeves are way too long according to the "rules." Confidence trump's fashion rules. Your blue suit with the long sleeves looked just fine. I've pulled that off myself, and received multiple compliments on my attire. Most people will think you had on cufflinks with French cuffs. Unless you're going to get every single shirt custom made, most designer shirts vary in measurements. Excellent video and feedback as always. Much respect.
Nice video very informative. I feel that one must nail the shirt fit and build a solid collection, before moving onto suits. As I believe the suit jacket is the hardest sartorial piece to nail. What's you opinion?
Thanks for the info on the Sleeve/Cuff, in my last comment I asked about those thick ass ties you wear, also do you have a video on the “Polished Casual” look?..
Hey man thanks for watching. My ties come from some of everywhere lol but the ones I wore in this video came from suituspply and Ralph Lauren. RL being thrifted. Also I’m not sure what polished casual is..
@@GentStyle polished Casual is basically wearing a sports blazer, but what you wear with it, looks like your on the verge of easily changing the look if you threw on a tie. I suppose it’s the upper end of casual with a Sports Jacket, if that at all makes any sense.
His ties are classic, ties originally were thicker, problem today is that ties are being always made thin that’s why whenever we see a regular tie it’s thick to us . Thick ties make you look way more masculine same as wide lapels. You don’t want to be looking like a kid/ guy in a girl suit.
There are two main reasons; the first is that when you move about, the jacket can still look good - it's not held fast and and is allowed to flow as required; The second, because one of the kings of England was excessively overweight and couldn't button tw bottom button, and the courtiers followed suit to promote it as a style. Take your pick. I think both are correct.
I'm 187cm tall and my arm span is 195cm. That means I need longer sleeved shirts. The rule that "your cuff falls right behind where your thumb is" does not work for me. Better way would be to find the lenght where the end of the sleeves (unbuttoned) reach until the first knuckle of your thumb. That way your shirt won't slip up whenever you shake someones hand or lift your arm up.
"When you are sitting with your arms in front of you on a desk, you tend to show a little more cuff". My question is "why when we place our arms in front, the cuff shows more? arent they moving together as well. hows the anatomy?
@@GentStyle i am trying to say. lets say the shirt cuffs show 1 inch (neutral standing position), is it also gonna show 1 inch if we shake hands or more?

Yes it definitely comes down entirely to preference! Thanks for watching!
Perfect, especially considering you also covered proper shirt sleeve length as well.
The guy in the video looks super sharp! 👌 love it! You got good taste and style!
Thank you Sir! Very helpful!
Lovely to see a guide from the other side of the pond where the host isn't shouting and jumping around. Excellent and accurate content too.
Haha thanks!
Thank you, got the answer I was looking for!

I think you’re 100% right. It is definitely hard to nail the fit of a suit jacket.
@@GentStyle so what is the maximum length of a shirt cuff is permissible? 1 inch max?
@@rayadisurya7343 yes I typically like half an inch but I inch is acceptable

@@johnnyblaze2257 yeah that sounds like another word for business casual.
@@GentStyle I did not know that!🤷🏽♂️

Damn let me hold that blazer, lol great vid
Bro thats a fly suit!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video, with suit jackets why do you leave the bottom button - unbutton ?
Sometimes I leave them unbuttoned somethings I don’t. But if I do button the jacket, it’s always and only the top button.
There are two main reasons; the first is that when you move about, the jacket can still look good - it's not held fast and and is allowed to flow as required;
The second, because one of the kings of England was excessively overweight and couldn't button tw bottom button, and the courtiers followed suit to promote it as a style.

Im 6 foot and looking to buy a leather jacket. Im have no clue if 34inch (sleeve length of jacket) is too long or just right
Thanks, now I know i have a 40 lenght.
Thanks for the vid
Whats a reasonable price for jacket sleeve adjustment in your opinion?
Around $22-30 dollars. Thanks for watching
"When you are sitting with your arms in front of you on a desk, you tend to show a little more cuff". My question is "why when we place our arms in front, the cuff shows more? arent they moving together as well. hows the anatomy?
Not sure what you’re exactly asking. Lol
@@GentStyle i am trying to say. lets say the shirt cuffs show 1 inch (neutral standing position), is it also gonna show 1 inch if we shake hands or more?
@@rayadisurya7343 no it’s gonna show slightly more when you start using your hands
@@GentStyle yes correct, my question is how is it like that? because basically the shirt and jacket should move together. I am wondering.
@@GentStyle hello?
But your Suit jacket length is short brother. It should be upto ur thumb knuckles when u put ur hands down.
Outdated rule. What if my arms are super long or super short?
@@GentStyle oh okay 👍🏻. So that's the reason why retail showrooms have the suit length as default?
Thanks!
No problem!
Some men in the UK will show lots of cuff
yours seems long compared to here in japan, sleeves
Bespoke Lebron James.
