    Thumbs up for a fellow Marine.
    That also explains the attention to detail to clothing and ensuring a strong presentation. And the use of hand gestures, though I was expecting a knife hand somewhere in there.
    Love the videos, and it's a big help when you're more used to wearing a uniform than "regular" clothes.

    The pants to my old navy suit wore out recently, so I decided to have the buttons on the jacket replaced with horn buttons that I purchased from eBay. I'm going to pick it up from my tailor later this week. I can't wait! I went from having one traditional navy blazer with gold buttons, to having two blazers, each with a slightly different style. I did the same thing when the pants to my gray suit wore out. I used silver buttons. It's a great way to extend the life of an orphaned suit jacket and expand your wardrobe at the same time.

    • @BigReg26

      Real Men Real Style Question: Do you consider white mother of pearl buttons a less-formal style button than maybe a dark or medium horn button on a navy blazer?

    • @mattcartwright8272
      @mattcartwright8272 Před 6 lety

      Reggie - i suggest the next time you buy a suit you buy an extra pair of pants. That way you reduce the wear by 50% and you will get twice the life out of a suit. Also, the cut and structure of a formal suit is quite different from that of a blazer or jacket . You don't want to look like that guy that's wearing his business suit jacket with jeans when you're on a hot date on Friday night. You fail on two counts - you look cheap and look like you don't know how to style yourself. Not cool.

Look forward to your response ... and btw ... thank you for your service!

    I agree, it is the world we live in. It was almost 30 years ago that before going to a night club my friend told me to wear a jacket and tie as it would save us a lot of hassle if we wanted to get in. On arriving we were at the back of a hundred something line of guys waiting to get in. We stood there for 5 minutes or so before a doorman came along and directed us to go in. It was from then on that I realised that appearance really does matter.

      Hi Dimas. I like a lighter shade of charcoal with jeans ... especially in autumn and winter. Also mine has a subtle herringbone pattern. Btw ... I believe charcoal is a 'neutral' color so it should be safe to wear with black or blue jeans.

    My question is regarding jeans and khakis. Could you a more detailed video on khakis and how to wear them for that elegant yet casual look they manage to pull off.
    Thanks in advance.(Feel free to direct me to any links that you may think will help me, even if they are outside my question)

  • @tostentwo
    @tostentwo Před 5 lety

    Another option that I use when traveling is to get high quality sweat pants and iron a crease in the front. This works well if you button the blazer to cover the laces at the waist along with a pair of simple black cowboy boots. Just remember to wear a matching tweed flat cap.

  • @toma9129
    @toma9129 Před 9 lety +1

    Don't you think that there is a conflict in formality between button-down shirt and tie? Also between jeans and tie? I would personally leave the tie and just wear an OCBD under the blazer, together with the jeans.

Question ... I have a real liken for a "cowboy" starched blue jean (Wrangler) with a dress boot (exotic skin) and a blazer / sport coat. I do a lot of public speaking and that look appeals to me. Any advice on how far to take that look? Thanks again for the site. I will be a regular.

      Mira vieja....(argentinismo que significa confianza entre amigos):
      Sport jacket es el saco sport común y corriente que se vende sólo.
      Suit jacket le llaman al saco de un ambo (pantalón y saco), aunque hay reglas con límites muy peligrosos, no se recomienda usar un saco de un traje separado del traje, que horrible, salvó si vives en EEUU, allí la ridiculez es la regla.
      Blazer jacket es el saco generalmente azul, de una tela generalmente de buena terminación y algo de brillo, con botones metálicos al frente y ennlas mangas, es una prenda medio desubicada para el día a día, ya que se la usaba como uniforme y honestamente con jeans queda un asco, la mitad de arriba fino, la mitad de abajo chabacano, justamente porque no se llevan bien no porque el jean sea chabacano.
      En EEUU la gente no sabe vestirse, te lo digo de una, estos influencers te explican los motivos no que te los pongas, en general si usas traje usas dos piezas y si usas jeans usas la americana en sus millones de colores patrones y telas de verano e invierno.

      Real Men Real Style I also have a shirt whose collar spread is small.. so small that if I wear a tie it shows a bit. am I not supposed to wear a tie with these shirts or am I supposed to get a thinner tie or something is wrong with the shirt?

    I don't understand the difference between suit jacket, sport jacket, blazer jacket, etc...
    For me all of them are the same. I can't distinguish them.

      Humberto - look at the clip again. He pretty much covers it. But if you still have problems msg me and I will provide a detailed reply.

    Another great video. Coincidentally, I purchased a fine wool blue jacket this weekend, specifically to wear with a smart pair of Levi 504's (a lighter denim for the summer).

    Go Army! Ha ha ha ha! Believe it or not, I'm still using my Army issue black tie. It looks good and I like it. 👍
