@@gentlemansgazette do you have an email ? I would like to send you a picture of my suit gorge line, I would like to know if it sits too high. Thank you.
I love wearing Vintage Suits everyday for my personal style! Most of the hallmarks on my Suits that I love is having Wide Lapels with a low gorge, Structured Shoulders, my Trousers to be Wider & more drape with pleats & a higher waist along with a full break at the hem! I love Vintage 30s/40s/80s & 90s Suits! I love this channel :)
Well detailed and informative. I'm happy the shawl and other less popular suit lapels were covered unlike in the suit anatomy article. Good job Raphael. i can't wait for the P.2
I always enjoy the history and how the garment style has evolved over time . As always great tips and insights on what to look for and how to use this knowledge in a positive way to optimize your fit .
Wow! indeed a lot of information here but greatly appreciated getting a better understanding of suit lingo I'm really looking forward to the part 2 of this series thanks so much for such a fantastic video!
Raphael, my partners funeral was just a few days ago. With my new suit I asked the florist for a button hole of a small orange rose just to break up the black... I thought of you when putting it in and people commented it was a really nice touch. Katherine loved my favourite colour was orange, so I felt it was only right ☀️ Thank you for these great videos and best wishes from the UK
Thanks for another great video. From watching your videos I have learned a lot about suits. From what I am learning from your suit videos when I am ready to buy my first suit I will buy the right good quality suit at the best price.
great video. everything the average man needs to know about suits. If I ever need to advise someone on what suit to buy I will refer them to this video.
Is the 1930's your favourite era when it comes to men's suits? It is for me so whenever you say something about the 1930's, I take great advantage from that! Can't wait for video number two!!! Thank you!
Great video, thank you! For jacket cuff lingo, you could have also mentioned the very unusual turned back or ‘cuffed’ sleeve which many tailors in England used to do. In my opinion a cool and most definitely bespoke look.
Excellent video as you always do. We can also mention that another type of notched lapel exists and I've rarely seen it, it's the parisian lapel it's halfway between the notch lapel and the peak lapel, well anyway I think that we find it only to the Parisian tailors.
Thank You sir for your thoroughness in all your videos. Fashion and style are a foreign language to me but you are an excellent translator. I have learned so much from your videos !! I am just starting to build my wardrobe so all of your info is very valuable to me THANK YOU
Wow Rafael! This answers a good number of questions. Fantastic presentation that covers all stages of the sartorial journey. Now understand why my jackets and suits from various eras and manufacturers are all different plus how they affect my 6'-2" skinny build so can achieve the affect I want. Now the question that arises is how these button stances and spacing go with the previous video on body types. For example, I am a slight inverted triangle, thin, and long legged, and according to previous advice, peaked lapels are not advantages as accentuate the shoulders and trim the waist on an inverted triangle. However, if a double breasted had a strait, narrow stance and Tautz lapel could it at least then be neutral allowing an inverted triangle more formal options than a notch lapel? Danke.
I was wondering if you could do a video on losing or gaining weight and how it affects ones wardrobe. I recently have lost 70lbs and none of my suits fit anymore. Of course all the accessories still look good. Anyway, would love to know your opinion on this topic! Thanks for the great content Raphael :)
Excellent video as usual. I love the historical perspective. I recently purchased a Ralph Lauren Purple Label Wool Twill Sport Coat. The sleeve ends are open where the buttons goes; there are no buttons. What do you call this look? I haven’t wore it yet but I bet it would be cool with the openings.
While notch, peak, and shawl lapels are very general and broad I haven't been able to find a video which talks about the variation of lapels like semi notch, fish mouth, clover, half clover, semi peak and rounded collar peak.
This video is extraordinary. Thank you for it, I am waiting for part two with excitement. Off-topic though, I need advice. Anyone else feel free to comment too, I don't bite :) I am just starting out with liquor - barely had any experience to rely on whatsoever. Now an adolescent, by law at least, I've tried a bit. I don't like what I've tried but can barely even remember what was served to me. Liquor store is there. My wallet is there. I have no idea what to try. What I would like from a drink is for it to be refreshing - maybe a hint of mint or such, I imagine a little spice and harshness would do no harm and only prove to be more cleansing. Anything else is not of my concern and in excess. I don't want to get drunk - low levels are better for my taste, I don't need the drink to relax me and I don't care about the price - regardless of which end of the spectrum does it move towards. I can't recall finding anything on the blog that helped me much in choosing. Give me a hand :)
Excellent video, as always! You appear to be so knowledgeable on so many topics; at least as it relates to fashion, clothing, shoes, etc. May I ask what specific concentration (major in college), your formal education is? I.e.; fashion, history, etc. Also, do you have research staff who assist in putting together your videos, or do you do your own research? Thanks, Ed
Can you do a video on the best places to get Nehru jackets? I'd also like a video on affordable, quality places to buy suits, but I'll settle for one answer.
Aeriosus one place he's endorsed in the past that I stand by is Gagliardi. For me, as a skinny guy, the off the rack fit is way better than any other company I've seen, and the quality-price ratio is very strong.
Hi Raphael, Great video. Do you own a Nehru suit(band collar suit)? If yes, where would you place it on the formality scale? Looking forward to a response and maybe a video. Thank you.
I like your videos a lot! Thank you very much. I am just surprised by your thoughts about the tuxedo jacket. If it had the task to show a large area of the shirt, why then combine it with a waistcoat or cummerbund? I would rather assume that the tuxedo jacket was initially thought to be put on for smoking after dinner so there was never the intention to be kept warm by it. It rather needed to be put on quickly and easily in exchange for the dinner jacket. What do you think?
Is there a rule for a single cut or double at the back of the suit jacket? Would a double cut on the rear of the jacket imply that it is a casual wear, or a single cut on the rear of the jacket imply that it is a business jacket?
Other way around a single vent is a traditional sign of a casual jacket such as tweed. Since it came about from riding jackets. A double vent would be traditionally seen on a business jacket.
Great video, as always. May I ask by whom you had this particular suit tailored? Looks fantastic. I've seen this pattern/colour combination on a kiton jacket and I had a hard time taming myself, so I don't break the bank... Greetings!
Today all designer suits are made abroad,places like Argentina or so where else. They arrive to Europe and they put buttons and then tug made in Italy or France. You want a good suit go to the good tailor. He speaks nice and sense that belong to the past when the fashion companies had quality and not greedy for money.
If you have a lapel roll what can you do to take care of it? I’m scared to take it to the dry cleaner and having them press the daylights out of it. Will they ruin it?
If my sleeve buttons only act as a design function instead of the actual function, should i take it off? Oh and how do you restitch the buttons on a sleeve of a suit jacket with lining lol
I wish I owned even a single jacket with peak lapels. Every single business/formal jacket I own is notched. I feel like no one makes any other style anymore.
How much time do you spend just changing clothes for a video? This is something I'm killing to have an answer for. It takes me like 7 minutes to suit up for some reason.
Essential information for anyone needing to either buy or have a suit made. I wish I had known all of these terms 17 years ago when I bought my tuxedo prior to getting married... I could have avoided coming away from the fitting feeling like an imbecile.
I have a question, @ 2:12 it looks like your wearing a blue and white suit but the top button is not buttoned. Is there a reason, cause I’m sure that you said in another video that the top button is always buttoned unless sitting? Please help
today i saw a picture of someone wearing a three-piece suit over a turtleneck so it got me wondering: can you wear a waistcoat over a sweater? can you wear a waistcoat under a double breasted suit? can you wear sweaters under double breasted jackets?
A sweater and a waistcoat has the same function so it would be weird. Ofc you can wear a waistcoat/sweater with a double breasted jacket if you need it for a cold eviornment it may also make your suit fit worse if it was not made for being used with them.
Like Lanmater said, a sweater/waistcoat combo would be weird and kinda pointless. However, the other two are fairly common. I've seen many gentlemen with a 3 piece double breasted suit, and some more "fashionable" men wear a sweater and DB quite well

That brown suit with the purple tie and pocket is awesome
this was a great video Raphael! thank you!

This is great. Finally understanding suits. Thank you for your content.
Sven that brown Caraceni suit of yours is my absolute favorite.
Thanks, you are always put together and the information you give me is very helpful.

Is there a difference between a jacket and odd trousers, and trousers and an odd jacket?
THANKS FOR POSTING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Amazing information on this video. Thank you I’ve watched a lot of your videos
EXTREMELY informative. Thank you.
Great video. Can't wait for the part 2
That tie knot though. It's right out of line but the actual suite is great I love it.
Today's fashion of a narrow and thin knot with a collar of the English Spread family is all too likely to make her wearer look a turkey-necked clown.
this is education right here I am going to be able to see who is who int he world now I think. thank you so much
Thank you Raphael
I learned a lot
Thank to your videos I have improved the Way I dress
Thanks for the great video Rafael! I just laughed at 2:56 when the boss is out

Purple label garments are expensive and come unhemmed at the sleeves and pants so they can get the length just right. So get buttons and buttonholes.
Gentleman's Gazette Thanks a lot 👍🏼
What a fantastic video.... Deep respect. WOW !!!
Loved this video, shared it! Just wondering, is there a video on matching shirts with neckwear? When it comes to colours and fabrics and such
While notch, peak, and shawl lapels are very general and broad I haven't been able to find a video which talks about the variation of lapels like semi notch, fish mouth, clover, half clover, semi peak and rounded collar peak.
Very informative

I was under the impression that "button stance" was another word for buttoning point. I frequently hear about a high or low button stance.
im ready for this 😀😀😀
Great video Raphael! Your knowledge of fine suits is second to none!

Hi Raphael,
Great video.
Do you own a Nehru suit(band collar suit)?
If yes, where would you place it on the formality scale?
Looking forward to a response and maybe a video.
Thank you.
H and M saw your videos, so now they make functional buttons.

Talking about me, Raphael?
Love your videos. Do you know what brand of suit is shown at 6:58 in the video, when it's talking about lapel width?
If you have a lapel roll what can you do to take care of it? I’m scared to take it to the dry cleaner and having them press the daylights out of it. Will they ruin it?

and so is his weardrobe!
I'm trying to learn and become a better person and I litteraly cannot escape the shitposts
If my sleeve buttons only act as a design function instead of the actual function, should i take it off? Oh and how do you restitch the buttons on a sleeve of a suit jacket with lining lol
You're in your element here...
Can the paddock suit be considered as formal now?
Can you please make a video about suit vest
Great videos I only own 1 suit at the moment it's a brand called Magee from Ireland I'm happy with it but do you rate or have you even heard of them?
What do you think of Tom Ford’s suits?
Thank you for sharing.........
I wish I owned even a single jacket with peak lapels. Every single business/formal jacket I own is notched. I feel like no one makes any other style anymore.

Ta prononciation en français est très bonne 👍
What jacket is at 8:19
would it be weird to have kissing buttons with a surgeons cuff?

It's 3 buttons suit, so the rule should apply to the middle button instead.
I enjoy when he takes shots at H&M.
Wait short and skinny guy gets thinner lapels and vice versa. What about short and chubby guys?
What is the German terminology
