Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience, I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.
In fact, I had no prior experience or understanding when I began investing in 2018, but by the end of 2019, I had made a profit of almost $750k. All I had been doing was going by what my financial advisor had told me. This demonstrates that all you truly need is a professional to assist you; you don't even need to be a great investor or put in a lot of work.
bravo! | appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to unmeasurable progress, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?
Cooper leo jaxon 💬🎌 is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Nice video! I would’ve listened to more of the tailors advice, they know their product and what looks best. You had them cut this suit very slim. Like the guy said, I hope you don’t gain any weight. Also for what you paid, a glued canvas, you could get 2 suits at a department store. Also if you go back, have them adjust the sleeve pitch/attachment. Anyways, still a very entertaining video!
The service seems friendly but the sleeves of the suit crease way too much when standing relaxed. There should be no wrinkles or creases on the sleeves when standing upright and relaxed. That's something they should have spotted and corrected instantly. I don't think that the suit was woth the money.
Interesting video but you are stepping into a bit of a minefield with suit descriptions. A bespoke suit is crafted from a unique pattern, created by the tailor, from your individual measurements. There was no mention of the pattern in the video, but based on the collar gap issues, I suspect yours is an MTM suit, i.e. modified from a existing block pattern. If, at some future point, you are in the market for another suit, it would be very interesting to do a back to back comparison with a tailor just around the corner (Narin), who has a very good reputation in Bangkok. You would not normally expect to be offered a Polyester blend material for a Bespoke suit.
I came past one such tailor in Bangkok a few years ago. His elegant suits were displayed at the front of his shop. I looked at a stylish pinstripe suit on a mannequin there. Upon closer inspection, the "pinstripes" were actually the words "f*** you" written in tiny print. I guess you can find anything in Thailand.
@@on.theworld 👍😎 Watched Seinfeld in 2020. It was the quarantine lunchbreak ritual. Seinfeld started before I was born 😅, I'm really curious about 90's. Also a really Funny show.
$540 is a really good deal. To be honest, the lapel on the suit can go a quarter inch wider because to me as a regular suit wear, it looks like something you buy off the rack. But still looks pretty good.
Their Professionalism is awesome, don't like the fact that in this Tailor shop they did not offer the "little idiosyncrasies" of the inner-lining, being made as same design as Pocket square( being the same as the upper pocket's closure, so as not to have to utilize a pocket square, and be charged(extra)for it, as @ Suit-Cut, in the BMK center( like the fact that Robert & Jay, was genuinely looking out for the customer's(saving's); thereby solidifying a totally repeat customer(return, and recommendation) to other friends, and family(especially, in the PassPort Bruh Movement), from the US, and other participating Countries) We are Vast! Shalom, and Thank You; E. Bro. "P.", USA
This tailor is giving better advice than most Asian tailors. However, your jacket is definitely too short (and you wanted it even shorter!) And your gorge height is too high. Also the arms are very wrinkled and don't drape at all. That's the downside of going too tight. Would be interesting to know what the suit lining was made of. Not much point in avoiding polyester in the shell fabric of the suit for better breathability but then adding a polyester lining.
Just an fyi, this is not bespoke it’s more of made to measure suit, if you paid the 540 next suit I recommend just go to suit supply you can get a better quality and construction. English and Italian mill fabrics and half canvas construction for 500-800 dollar and just get it tailored in store and will look 100x better
The suit looks nice but the arms seem a bit wrinkled in their hanging position and the outermost shoulder padding extends about 1/2" too far in my estimation.
Wow! So detailed! I got a suit and half a dozen shirts made there a few years ago and I probably didn't realize there was so many things I could ask about! I think I had 1 fitting and came back to collect and everything was perfect. They are good at Crown though. I totally recommend them.
$540 in our country it's price for a OTR 100% wool suit, not even MTM. Very good deal, although I think for the amount of work put in I would have chosen full natural fiber material.
@@on.theworld In France, Lanieri, maybe you know... What is exactly the price ? because i'm going to asin for this summer and i i will try to get a suit or shirt from there
You never buy a suit made of cloth that has polyester in it, any amount. A suit, a good suit should always be 100% wool of good quality, preferably from an Italian or English Mill.... don't use Chinese cloth, it's inferior.
Dino Filarte, one of the worlds leading fabric mills in the world. Is milled in China, using Australian Merino Wool. If you would like to shut yourself off from a country, you miss out on all the value and the good fabrics out there. It’s just unfortunately a lot of mills don’t really advertise, even some high end mills from Italy and England are hard to really research. Take my dress shirts for example, I used Giza 45 Thomas Mason Extra Long Staple. But yet I have now got my shirts using SOKTAS Long Staple which I think is softer and creases less than TM. Yet SOKTAS is milled in Turkey, not Italy or England. Turkey is a major fabric hub in the world and a lot of premium fabrics come from there. Like yes I would agree a good suit should be 100% wool, not everyone can afford that and having an honest tailor explain the fabrics and prices. Is really refreshing to see. Someone shouldn’t buy a suit because of the price tag or if it’s “100% wool” or “fully canvas”. They should buy a suit that fits there needs. If their only going to wear like a tuxedo 2-5 times a year, a fused suit will be fine. No point getting Zegna Bemberg Fully Handmade MTM when you’re not going to wear it as much.
@@anaussieinjapan I disagree with 100% wool statement. I own linen/wool blends for the summer, Tweed, Flannel and even a cotton one. Blends are fine so long it fulfills a purpose and is quality, Polyester shouldn’t be in a suit VB has in its hope line some polyester blends. China has good quality and so long a western company does not produce cheap suits there (while exploiting labor) I am fine with it.
@@Hanto_san the suit pattern is wrong, meaning what, this suit or all suit patterns. Right at the very beginning you've got to get the material correct. Asia is full of polyester blend material presented as 100% wool. Don't take any notice of the label, they've got fake stuff out of China all over the place because it's cheap and if you're not switched on they'll rip you off. The right material is vital, if you can't get that right you might as well wear a pair of jeans.
@@Hanto_san I'm Australian and you're European so you should know this better than me. The best cloth is English or Italian so if you're in Bangkok that's the cloth you should use...stay away from Asian Mills. As to the lapels that's another story which I won't cover here...make sure you get the cloth right, of course it's more expensive....pay the extra, I would.
@@Hanto_san I'll cut a long story short. I disagree with you, the material is everything. Italian and English fabric are high quality but expensive and you can't fake it by using an inferior material.... everyone can see it.
@@Hanto_san you still don't get it. It's not about being into or not being into English fabric, it's about using the best fabric and it so happens the quality comes from English and Italian fabrics. But they're expensive. If you can't afford this material /fabric then don't make a suit. Nothing worse than a cheap suit.
While this is a useful video for showing the typical process of buying a suit in Bangkok, it also inadvertently illustrates some of the pitfalls of buying one there. Let's face it. The vast majority of guys who are buying suits in Bangkok ( or anywhere else for that matter) are uninformed consumers. They generally know little or nothing about fabrics, and the various methods in which suits are constructed. And this is completely understandable, since many guys only need a suit for the odd occasion, and don't feel the need to do a deep dive into research. Therefor, they are prime targets for being over-charged or downright scammed by Bangkok tailors. The Crown tailor charged you a somewhat premium price for a poly-wool blend suit with a cheap inner liner At that price-point, you should be able to get a decent 100% wool suit with a silk liner. It should not only be half canvassed in its construction, but should also be stitched instead of glued. at this price. To his credit, the Crown tailor alluded to the fact there can be a lot of poly-wool blends being fraudulently sold as pure wool suits in Bangkok. I think you could have done much worse than Crown Tailor. By Bangkok standards, they are better than average. The tailor was at least attentive to your concerns, made extensive notes, and incorporated them into meaningful adjustments to your suit, shirt, and trousers. For those considering buying a suit in Bangkok, keep in mind that the term"bespoke" is commonly (and improperly) thrown about by tailors. This was not a bespoke suit in this video. It was a made to measure. Only a couple of tailors in the city actually make suits on site. The rest send your measurements off to local factories to be made. Be prepared to pay a premium price for a premium quality suit -even in Bangkok.
Thanks for this, I’m planning a follow up video. Which tailor would you recommend for people that want the best quality in Bangkok regardless of price?
@@on.theworld From a "price is no object" standpoint, Narin Couture and Tanika Tailor should definitely be on your short-list. I can't think of any other tailors in Bkk that can produce full canvassed suits. And certainly from a quality standpoint, these two shops will be very hard to beat. The same holds true for their half canvassed suits if you decide to go that route. One thing that sets Narin and Tanika apart from pretty much everybody else is that they will produce your fully canvassed suit in-house. This is a really important distinction, ensuring that the tailor is involved in the whole suit making process. The vast majority of other places in the city (including Crown and Rajawonse) merely take your measurements, and contract out the suit-making to a local factory. You won't encounter the typical Bangkok tailor pledge that the "suit will be ready in 24 hours" at Narin or Tanika. Be prepared to come back for many fittings over at least a two week period. A quality suit takes time to make. At a lower price point, you may want to check out Tailor on Ten. However, they're only able to produce a half canvassed jacket. Also keep in mind that although they have an in-house alteration team, their suits are still made off site. I've seen inconsistent results from them, so my recommendation comes with a bit of trepidation along with a "your mileage may vary" caveat. Still, they're probably better than most of their competitors, and enjoy a strong following among the ex-pat community. One thing to keep in mind when going "upscale"for a suit in Bkk is that the cost of Italian or British wool is pricy. It's quite expensive to import into Thailand, and the tailors who actually offer authentic European wools don't tend to buy in large enough quantities so as to receive a significant discount. Passing off polyester or poly blends as pure wool is common practice among tailors in Bangkok. No such concerns at Narin or Tanika. So keeping the above in mind, apart from their much higher quality in-house tailoring work, the use of authentic, expensive fabrics is another reason why you pay a much more premium price at Narin or Tanika. While your wallet will undoubtedly end up considerably lighter at Narin and Tanika, the bottom line is that you'll at least be walking out with a high quality suit that won't disintegrate within a year. Regardless of where you end up going, I recommend that you conduct a bit of research and arm yourself with some basic knowledge about fabrics and the various methods in which suits can be constructed. Knowing exactly what you want, and being able to accurately convey that information to a tailor will go a long way to ensuring a positive outcome.
Thank you for the video, I could really use some advice about casual smart tailoring in Bangkok. Do you know where I could go to get more casual clothing tailored?
I believe most tailors can do casual clothing if you ask. It’s best if you have a sample of some thing for them to copy. This was my first time tailoring in Bangkok, so I wish I knew more details for you. Thanks for watching!
Sorry my friend I'm not ignorant or anything, but I'm in the USA, please tell my how much was 19,500 converted to dollars. Thanks, love your videos , keep them coming.
Thank you so much for the encouragement as always Mark. For Italian fabric that still is about 70% cheaper or more than what you would pay in London, so believe it or not it’s a good deal 😂 I was also really impressed with his knowledge and his ability to talk about it.
This is a very interesting video and I was interested to know how all the comments were very different so I watched the entire thing! 1. The suit was half canvassed sewn! Look at the fitting suit with the canvassing to the lapel. Saw folks going back and forth about this. 2. You had 2 shirts in the video, assuming cost is with two shirts? So I know what to ask for when I go in. And I saw a mention of a wool blend rather than a polyester blend? Is that right? Or did I misunderstand? I thought the other cheaper black was the polyester blend. 3. Saw some illiterate guy mention 100,000 for an Italian suit. Pretty sure I heard the Mana guy mention 35000-100000. I also know my suits and have bought zegna for 70k a suit. Pricing seems to make sense for me? 🤷🏽♂️ Love how most people ignore the facts provided! P.S loved how detailed oriented you were with your clothes. You gave that Mana guy a run for his money for sure! I am gonna check this place out and will report back. May actually try out the Italian fabs to be a good test.
Haha thanks Benny. Yes, a lot of the comments ignore the fact that I knew exactly what I was buying, and even explain why I prefer half canvas to fully canvas. (If you watch the full video 😅) Yes, the price is inclusive of the shirts. I did the mid grade half poly half wool. If anybody knows a truly better deal, not just a cheap place, I would love to try that one next. But I thought it seemed reasonable and knowledgeable for the price.

So keeping the above in mind, apart from their much higher quality in-house tailoring work, the use of authentic, expensive fabrics is another reason why you pay a much more premium price at Narin or Tanika.
While your wallet will undoubtedly end up considerably lighter at Narin and Tanika, the bottom line is that you'll at least be walking out with a high quality suit that won't disintegrate within a year.
Regardless of where you end up going, I recommend that you conduct a bit of research and arm yourself with some basic knowledge about fabrics and the various methods in which suits can be constructed.
Knowing exactly what you want, and being able to accurately convey that information to a tailor will go a long way to ensuring a positive outcome.
So how much?
$600 all in
Thank you for the video, I could really use some advice about casual smart tailoring in Bangkok.
Do you know where I could go to get more casual clothing tailored?
I believe most tailors can do casual clothing if you ask. It’s best if you have a sample of some thing for them to copy. This was my first time tailoring in Bangkok, so I wish I knew more details for you. Thanks for watching!
How much money is that in USD?
$650
where in BKK is this shop..
i normally use needle king or Jesse Rajaswong,, This guy looks like a good shop too.
Honestly, the shirt is still pretty itchy after a few months I can’t really recommend.
even though the suit doesn't have a proper fit and aesthetic, but I'm extremely impress by the professional progress and how detail it is.
Thanks for watching
You could have gotten 2 set of suit same price in Vietnam.
Which shop should I try?
Yeah, but would they be the same quality (not that this one was particularly stellar) or would they be un-canvassed glue jobs ?
Hi there! Did you have to pay extra to have the half canvas?
Yes vs fully fused
How much in addition was the half fuse? Thanks!
He ''tailored'' it.
Do you know a better shop to try?
Sorry my friend I'm not ignorant or anything, but I'm in the USA, please tell my how much was 19,500 converted to dollars. Thanks, love your videos , keep them coming.
Thanks man! Its about $600
Great advert where not to go to get your suit made. Terrible material and rip off.
Where’s your favorite place to get a suit made in Bangkok?
your answers are more like the one of a spam bot. you suck
@@boltthrower3215 and you added nothing to this.
Very good video, very extensive.
Thanks!
👍🏻

Ужасный костюм.😢
😅
I feel like I just finished a beginners class in mens fashion and culture.
Next time let's go with the premium Italian fabric at ฿100,000. 😆
Thank you so much for the encouragement as always Mark. For Italian fabric that still is about 70% cheaper or more than what you would pay in London, so believe it or not it’s a good deal 😂 I was also really impressed with his knowledge and his ability to talk about it.
@@on.theworld Londons Saville Row is done and will disappear. Other countries are way better and London only lives by its historical reputation.
ร้านนี้ต้องลอง
👍
How much in us currency?
$600
Good
Thank you
This is a very interesting video and I was interested to know how all the comments were very different so I watched the entire thing!
1. The suit was half canvassed sewn! Look at the fitting suit with the canvassing to the lapel. Saw folks going back and forth about this.
2. You had 2 shirts in the video, assuming cost is with two shirts? So I know what to ask for when I go in. And I saw a mention of a wool blend rather than a polyester blend? Is that right? Or did I misunderstand? I thought the other cheaper black was the polyester blend.
3. Saw some illiterate guy mention 100,000 for an Italian suit. Pretty sure I heard the Mana guy mention 35000-100000. I also know my suits and have bought zegna for 70k a suit. Pricing seems to make sense for me? 🤷🏽♂️
Love how most people ignore the facts provided!
P.S loved how detailed oriented you were with your clothes. You gave that Mana guy a run for his money for sure! I am gonna check this place out and will report back. May actually try out the Italian fabs to be a good test.
Haha thanks Benny. Yes, a lot of the comments ignore the fact that I knew exactly what I was buying, and even explain why I prefer half canvas to fully canvas. (If you watch the full video 😅) Yes, the price is inclusive of the shirts. I did the mid grade half poly half wool. If anybody knows a truly better deal, not just a cheap place, I would love to try that one next. But I thought it seemed reasonable and knowledgeable for the price.
are the stitching in the trousers strong? Wanna get one but don't want to worry about the crotch bursting in a slim fit
Yep quite sturdy
How long was the entire process from start to finish?
They can do it in as little as one week, for me it took longer because I was traveling a lot
Is the half canvas glued or sewn? Thanks
Glued. They do offer sewn at an extra cost
Glued for 20000 bhat!!! even I know that's a terrible deal @@on.theworld
It upsets me to watch a guy that incompetent and his responses are so dumb.
Can you recommend any better shops in Bangkok?
Its dosent matter what fabrique came from, its a nice and sharp suit.
Thanks!
