  • How did it all start? Who is Okey and how did he become a connoisseur of BESPOKE CLOTHING, a teacher of philosophy and an investment banker? In this video, Okey tells you his story like Okey himself, it is colorful, inspiring and instructive. As Okey says, “you gotta do you”, meaning that you have to be yourself and speak in “your own voice”.

    I have a 14 yr old daughter. My prayer for her is to end up with a gentleman who will appreciate the lady I raised her to be. Watching Mr Okey keeps that hope and prayer alive. Thank you sir. More blessings

      She must appreciate gentlemen, and that's how it will start. Because if she's carried away by other things rather than the substance of a Man - responsible man, then, she might make a mistake of her life.

    Very interesting. I agree that the 30's and 40's in particular, were truly a golden era. I certainly got inspired by the movie stars and their elegance considering the fact that they actually moved around and lived in their clothing. They danced, drove automobiles, walked in their clothing. The men dressed in styles suitable for gentleman. I also loved the Ralph Lauren ads that began to appear much later. They depicted scenes that were believable and stylish and in locations that I wish I were in. Thank you for your videos. Style and elegance is great to learn and to enjoy.

    You chose a great mentor!!!I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Reginald Lewis many years ago...what a delightful, bold, brilliant gentleman he was! I then taught his grandchildren almost 20 years later as a teacher in New York City, so it came full circle as I came to know his daughter quite well too. She is also a lovely person and truly personifies her father's class, taste and elegance! What a great mentor to have!!!!

    Hello, Okey! I went to CZcams per your suggestion & lost you. I focused. The word "key" shot out to me. So, key was the key to finding you. Entertaining? I think enlightening suits you better. As to your waiting, this is Divine timing. Quite different than 3D time. You were not as ready as you thought you should be, hence you waited. I am certain you have found your calling, as I have found you. I am assured there are men of integrity breathing the same air I do. So, your background is similar to mine. I wonder if you think women's pants suits will return. I miss skirts, dresses & feminine wear but a well fitted man's suit has always caught my eye. It is rare to see a man in a suit nowadays. A man seems to poise himself taller in a suit. By the way, Merry Christmas, Okey.
