Please let's make AskOakey to go viral! Guys especially younger guys don't know how a suite should look and fit them. Wearing suits that seem are sized for their much smaller little brothers. LOL Thank you AskOakey, Thank you!!!! School us!
I am a woman who appreciates the suits and general male and female clothes of the 30s-60s and I am learning so much from your channel. thank you for this much needed information!
Whether you like the AskOkey aesthetic, which I do, or not, one has to appreciate the fact that they have their own clear vision and style in a sea of monolithic products.
@@AskOkeyIncThank you very much, and I am determined to join your clientele soon, because I am blown away by your immense understanding of what elegance is! What you are doing qualifies as a school of thought in my book.
I personally prefer a baggier fit. Like a power suit of the 80s. However I definitely think Okey is a well dressed individual and I also think he is very knowledgeable of fashion. Henceforth I absolutely respect his opinions.
Thanks for this gentlemen-style education...I'm approximately 5'7" in height and weigh about 150 lbs. I would look ridiculous in a baggy or oversized suit jacket, therefore, I can appreciate how you point out the basic understanding of a properly fitting jacket and trousers thanks for sharing!
you, sir, are the cary grant of our times with your style. I follow a couple of gentlemen online who go over suits, but you stand out with how you cut your suits.
Another great video, Okey. I recently had a DB blazer made to measure in Saville Row. I was initially under the impression it was "baggy" but in reality it's perfect - I asked them to deliver a traditional blazer and that's exactly what I got. But the modern eye is conditioned to look for a "sharper" fit. I have another off the peg Italian DB blazer. The style and cut are poles apart and I think each has their merits. As an aside, your high rise trousours and waistcoat here are on point. They look superb.
I love these videos. They are very educational. The key points are highlighted and elegantly explained. This is truly a masterfully produced video. Thank you for the hard work.
You can't imagine how happy I am that you made this video I've been saying this for years even when I was younger when I was 15 my first suit that my mother bought me and she was explaining to the tower exactly how it should be cut and I'm 66 years old now and I still cannot find a tower to cut a suit the way I need it to be cut the proper way and it's not even my way it's just a proper way it gives it a whole new look my only problem is now I can't afford to spend $500 on a suit
Like I said before, you have the perfect narrator voice. For me your voice is a mix of Morgan Freeman, and your accent. I could listen to you for hours. Absolute narrator voice perfection.👌
I dont really wear suits or want to wear suits, I sort of dont like suits, but I am very invested in this mission re-classify suits , keep up the good work!
I truly appreciate these videos on what's proper in suit wear. If only he had a plain background or a background that contrasted with the suit he's wearing, that would help accent the shape of the suit as he explains it.
Oakey's Suit/Sport Coats look baggy because he has freakishly long arms and a wide back/broad shoulders, it makes the suit look baggy on top, but if you pay close attention, having proper knowledge, it fits him to perfection, it's just his body dimensions that create the illusion. I would maaaaaybe suggest taking in the waist a tiny bit to create a bit more silhouette at the top to avoid looking so boxy.
Fantastic and very informative video as always proff 😁, your videos have really helped me build a background of knowledge regarding different garments over the past year or so. I also wanted to ask if it's possible if you could make a video discussing different materials used in garments and their ups and downs, I would really really appreciate that and I'm sure others would as well.
Thank you HoodRoid We have several videos dedicated to FABRICS on this channel A cursory search of our TH-cam Archives should reveal quite a few Welcome aboard sir 😁
I'll be honest, I love the english cut and your designs, and I'm not the kind of guy that likes Skinny pants, but I just can't completely love your trousers being a little bit too roomy for me, and also I prefer no break at the hem. Praises to you and your team all the way from Nicaragua! 🇳🇮
I so appreciate the information. I look forward to the day that I can meet you and purchase my first Bespoke Suit from you and actually feel comfortable in it and look good at the same time.
I really do love all of your choices in your choices in fabrics. I am 5'8" fairly in shape, and my question is, would I consider my trousers with a cuff?
I can't believe how smart that black suit is 😂 its amazing! I am currently struggling with my taper as my shoulders are significantly bigger than my chest, which is apparently unusual...31in waist doesnt help at 6ft 3 or so...

hello proff great work by you for spreading awareness among young men about the actual classic menswear! just wanted to ask that is 4x2 double breasted jacker is same as the late 1970s or 1980s bottom buttoned double breasted jacket?
to my understanding it only comes down to one difference and that is if you are tall you can wear askokey trim otherwise italian or slim looks great on shorter guys.
You are WRONG! I can’t for the life of me understand where people get this stuff!! Have you tried it??? NO! So how do you know?? Go to Instagram and see our SHORT and BIG customer testimonials
The wife always has it her mind that my suits look boxy, but then I explain the importance of Drape and fit and she comes back to reality😂, I always tell her that even Daniel Craig’s suits didn’t fit the way they should, cut wayyyyyyy too small.
@@jackthomas6952 Brosnan was A MILLION TIMES BETTER Good riddance indeed to Danny Craig They have A LOT OF WORK TO DO to repair the reputation of James Bond’s Dress
The point about a longer coat with a full cut trouser is excellent. Otherwise it looks like your thighs are bulging and your jacket is sitting on top. Also worth thinking about with sports jackets as well as suits. Thank you!
What are the guidelines for someone short in terms of height (5'8" and below)? Wouldn't the classic cut be too much as it creates a longer drape and cause disproportions? My challenge are that I have cyclist legs, wide back, and I workout my arms yet I'm short (5'3"). I won the proportion olympics.
The guidelines are EXACTLY THE SAME regardless your height Your coat MUST cover your crotch and seat at a MINIMUM Please see our Instagram Stories for customer testimonials of short men 5’5” and 5’ 3”
As usual, very good advice, and you're living proof that it's also correct advice. But goddammit, Proff, 10:00-10:04 needs to become a viral, animated reaction gif or meme 😂
Love your suit and suggestions. Please give us some schooling on class. I think you can do it and cam even expand your products to shoes, to architectural design, cars, furniture.... Build a culture of high class. The people need some schooling on class. Thank you sir. Sharing your videos.
Sir, you nailed almost every aspect of a perfect suit, but for the length… for a young-middle age like myself it will make me appear much older for lack of a better word…You are a tall guy and you would easily get away with a long jacket …
You’re WRONG! I don’t care if you’re a MIDGET, your coat MUST BE LONG ENOUGH to cover your crotch and seat How much longer depends on the CUT of your trousers WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN!
Well said and explained! Daniel Craig could benefit immensely from this vid after ruining his interpretation of James Bond sartorial style in his last few Bond movies!

Thank you Valden for your astute observation(s)
Regarding the waist, I prefer a “hint of suppression”
Just a hint 😉
Not “freakish”. A lot of men with his build have this arm length/torso ratio. Testosterone impacts bone density combined with length.

I don’t understand your question. Please rephrase
Excellent info.
Hello, what tie and shirt colors are the best with gray suit?
Depends on the shade of gray
A white shirt and navy or burgundy tie always works for a dark charcoal suit
to my understanding it only comes down to one difference and that is if you are tall you can wear askokey trim otherwise italian or slim looks great on shorter guys.
You are WRONG!
