As I sit here in my Fruit of the Loom underwear with a torn waistband, my left sock replete with a hole wherein my pinky toe is exposed, and my thrift store t-shirt with a faded orange pattern swooping down the chest from where I wipe the Dorito powder from my fingers, I found this video a grim reminder not everything turned out how I thought it would in life.
Yeah, dude, bout 15 years ago I got 2 Amani from Cartier for $48 [including the $8 for dry cleaning 4 pieces] in a Thrift store in West Kakalackee [go figure]. They fitted like a glove but I did nothing to them but wear and dry clean, and I'm hard on stuff. About 3 years ago I donated them forward. I've also picked up Halston, Dior, Burberry...about $9500 retail value for $170, including the dry cleaning. I've gone expensive before but I avoid doing it today after that first experience. I sometimes buy new for cheap, and it feels like it.
Previously I'd ALWAYS bought new, never even considering buying [wearing] somebody's throw away. Still don't know why I got started unless making a decision to stop overspending. Glad I came to my senses. Thrift store rocks.
You got ripped off, a week later they had them on sale for $5.00 or free if you bought two jars of the $2.00 coffee. I know it is expensive, but you can get it on credit @ only 2000% apr They even do Batman suit n cape with accessories belt included OMG ; /
Thanks for amazing videos like this. As a recent college grad trying to build my wardrobe with quality garments, I often search thrift store to save some cash needed elsewhere. Using the tips you mentioned here and in other videos helped me pick up a $2000 sports jacket for $15. I could have skipped right by it, but was able to identify some quality hallmarks you suggest to look for. Thank you Gentlemens Gazette.
Hi Raphael! I think you did a great job on creating this list and I will be searching for these quality haulmarks when I'm out thrifting for suits and jackets. By the way do you have some more examples on how I can improve my ability to tell the difference on hand sewn and machine sewn when it comes to the collar,lapels and buttonholes?
A really nice suit will really make a difference and people do notice these things, especially if you're a salesman, manager or in some position where your overall personal image is important. Seems to me though that the trend is to eliminate the suit altogether and make casual duds the de rigueur . I've never been impressed with a CEO dressed down in blue jeans and sneakers. Whether you want to believe or not, people are visual animals and how you dress evokes a definite psychological response. People will make up their minds about you in the first 10 seconds after seeing you. I can tell you from personal experience that this is the case.
Agreed on this. You cant beat a great suit when trying to make the best non-verbal first impression (in business). It all depends on business sector obviously.
Matthew Jackson , hey , this is Paarvez Anwar from Bangladesh . You are absolutely right!

Excellent and Accurate statement! What shocks me more than anything in the entire world, is when I see gorgeous women dolled-up to perfection when going out at night, and the men are dressed like homeless scumbags!!! 99% of the men that I witness going out at night are dressed in shorts, t-shirt, and sandals!!! These men are disgustingly PATHETIC human beings!!! And the women who actually choose these types of men have absolutely no respect for themselves!!!
Yeah but the tough thing is many and i mean many people are aware of what you say and dress to impress. But it only lasts that first 10 seconds. After they speak you just see a numpty in a suit.
@ Nah that just sounds like you're butthurt and envious. Clearly these "dolls" like their men for a reason and the absurd snotty standard you're trying to project isn't it. Having style is great, some don't have it, their problem. Stop being an angry incel.
Thank you Gentleman's Gazette! Thanks to your videos I was able to find thifted a beautiful bespoke made blue vintage suit from Hong Kong. It fits really nice too
I got a Ralph Lauren 100% wool jacket from goodwill for like 8 bucks or something 😂 I would've easily paid 600 for it if I saw it on the rack anywhere else.
I bought a 1943 quality suit, I can tell it's wool, as I can feel the fabric! Thank you so much for making this video! I got it from salvation army for $23!
Two bespoke suits that I had made showed the same unusual feature. One was from an expensive tailor in Hong Kong, the other was made by a highy recommended tailor in Milan. On the front of the jacket near the bottom and above were dozens of almost invisible pick stitches. Is this to make the jacket hang better? It was a lot of extra hand work.
Greetings Mr. Schneider! I wanted to thank you for this awesome video, great work as always. I also wanted to ask you a question: Is an overcoat with a belt and cuff straps possible? I recently bought a wool/cashmere blend camel colored double breasted overcoat with shoulder straps, a belt and cuff straps and it is CLEARLY not a trench coat and does not feature a gun flap. It also fits well on the shoulders. Is it a "trendy" trench coat that I made the mistake of buying or is it an overcoat like I tought? Perhaps it is something else? Thank you for your (or anyone's) response! Best regards, Alex.
To be perfectly honest, not much besides the small gaping next to his collar (perhaps because of his shoulders, perhaps it just isn't sitting correctly). I just didn't want to call it perfect and have somebody correct me, pointing out some minute detail I haven't trained myself to look at yet.
@@cowboyhank456 maybe the pant cuffs, as said made after, to bad by cheap. Cuffs are to small on the pant legs and make them pucker, said there was lots of seam so should have let them out on the cuffs and iron them better so they are flat and not rolled over on the inside left one. How can you miss something so obvious
Never take your suit to a dry cleaner and if you REALLY have to use a specialist dry cleaner. Invest in a quality suit brush with a bristle made from natural fibers. Preferably boar or horse hair and gently brush it after. Get a quality wooden hanger with wide shoulders and never use those wire hangers.
The most you'll be able to alter a garment without destroying it is usually a full size up or down. Giving or taking about an inch. After that its always going to look worse. You could still wear it but its no longer a perfect fit. With 50lbs id say it depends on how dramatically the weight came off you. Odds are though that the suit is now unusable it just wont look great on you. I work in a place that sells custom made suits.
Lol yeah I remembered someone mentioning if he lost weight he'd look better but his clothes might not exactly fit anymore. Of course the beauty of bespoke is the ease of alterations, I'm sure taking some fabric in here and there wouldn't be much of an issue, certainly not enough to warrant staying at the same weight.
There is absolutely NO correlation between how much a suit costs and what quality it is just as there is NO correlation between designer labels and the quality of a suit. The best suits I have ever owned came from a tailor in Hoi An Vietnam who gained his qualifications in France. I go there every couple of years and have a half a dozen made. Style wise I always take a photo of the type of suit I want (from a high end fashion magazine) and he re-creates them perfectly at about 1/8 th the price. He only uses pure Italian wool made from ultra-fine pure Australian merino wool and the lining are all pure silk.
@@KaiserFranzJosefI Yes I have and I will be distraught when he retires. I just hope the other tailors in his business have been trained similarly, even if only by him.
Handmade button holes, sleeve buttons that kiss, full silk lining the same color as the suit except the sleeves which are lined in striped silk. And on some very beautiful Italian suits I have had, lots of virtually invisible stitching on each side of the jacket between the pocket and the bottom of the jacket. (I guess it affects the way the jacket hangs.)
Fantastic video. Just watched a video of these two "influencers" shopping for bespoke suits and comparing expensive and inexpensive ones, and I learned absolutely nothing. This video I couldn't stop taking notes lol.
I have a question What is your opinion on flex suits meshed with high quality materials? or flex suits in general are they still high quality in your opinion?
informative, but your outfit is too matchy matchy (socks, cufflinks, ring, pocket square, tie)... and at the same time, that color of tan does not match well w/ the purple.
I tried a pocket square today with a Sport coat and was approached by two young ladies who simple asked me the time when I noticed they both had on apple watches. ZZ Top said it best "Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man"
See, I really (really) don't. To me they like like they were sewn by an amateur who couldn't get them quite lined up. But I love the way the arms fall, and now I understand why the suit cuts I like never fit quite right...time for some self reflection I think.
What do you guys think about made to measure from suitsupply? They pass all quality hallmarks Sven mentioned. Still a waste?

I have an honest question. Many years ago, I heard the following statement made by one of the most successful and wealthiest businessmen in the world: "Do not EVER purchase a brown suit. If you have them, either wear them to dog fights or get rid of them. The color brown should NEVER be worn when wearing a suit." What are your sincere thoughts about that statement?
Not that my opinion is worth anything, but I would argue that is narrow minded. Perhaps in the business world wearing brown is a faux pas. However, how you dress needn't be dictated by the dress codes of other professions, nor your own profession if you are at a social event unrelated to it. What is important is that you feel confident in how you look, confidence is read as power and promotes your success.
I like your channel and the advice you give is very helpful.However my individual taste differs from yours to the extent that I would never want to be seen in the kind of suits and the combination of fabrics shirts and ties that you wear.Too busy.Looks like something a little kid might wear. I am former military(O-6) and I prefer suits that have a more trim,uniform and athletic look-if you know what I mean.Same with the shoes.
We're supposed to take advice from you? That suit you're wearing is HIDEOUS. Orange, blue and purple combination? If you walked into my office for an interview, I couldn't take you seriously, you wouldn't get hired.
About the fabric reserve thing you told about. Millionaire/billionaire customers in the tailor shop that I work on do not want 2 centimeters more on the back side. We make pants that fit. If the pants do not fit after few years, we make new ones.
what's the point of not knowing what the suit is made out of? Kinda sucks to pay so much for an item not to know if it can cause allergies, how it'll perform and how to take proper care of it
Just as an FYI-the stitching on the underside of a lapel which both holds the canvas in place & helps with the roll of the lapel on a quality suit is called pad stitching....
You've probably gotten this answer already, but most inexpensive suits won't have it due to gluing the canvassing on the inside. Which makes the front of the suit feel kind of stiff, being that the glue has the fabric anchored to the canvas and not allowing it to move with you. Eventually, the glue breaks down and creates a weird rippling effect that loos like... like sun blisters on a car, but in fabric, if that makes sense. If that seam is there, then they sewed the canvas in, which means it's going to last a lot longer, in addition to only being anchored by those seams, so it's pretty much free to flex and contour with you as you move around.
When he flips the lapel up you can see the little string loop below the buttonhole to hold a flower in place. Most suits have the lapel buttonhole but not the loop. So why have the buttonhole?
It is mylifetime dream to own an Anderson and Sheppard suit. navy blue. Single Breasted, cut by Leon Powell. It made my heart jump just to see that label.
Je suis toujours impressionné par ton savoir sur l'habillement. Thanks for revealing the secrets of expensive quality suits. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find them where chinese products have invaded the marchet. I will consider your advise before any purchase. Tu es une référence pour moi. Merci encore pour ce grand et précieux travail.
So... if it's a high-end brand then it should have material labels with all the fiber contents in the fabrics, much like a lower costing suit, but if it's a bespoke suit, then it shouldn't? I see.
I sure wish this was available 30years ago. I needed to break all. This ground myself. Not that it wasn’t fun, but I didn’t have the time for everything and now cancer has made that time less.
Where do you find so many jackets with functional sleeve buttons? I can't umagine that they're all custom, as you iften talk about buying g vintage... I've been looking all over and functional buttons seem to be extremely rare unless I go bespoke, which I certainly can't afford all the time...
But if you design, cut and sew your own suit with quality material, then, what criticism would you be giving or trying to point out? Because it's not a name brand? Haha
Something to consider about secondhand bespoke suits: They are made to fit someone else, not you. Secondhand bespoke shoes are the worst - who wants a pair of shoes that aren't even symmetrical?
Have it tailor made,if you can afford it..labels are just that,you can have suit made overnight in HK or Thailand with any label you want..great video,TY
Also, the lining is the last part assembled on a high end garment. If the cuff and body buttons are sewn through the lining put it back on the rack and shop elsewhere.
Gorgeous mise, Herr Schneider. I really love the suit, as well as the colors you have used, but I would definitively have used a wider necktie, in proportion to the lapels.
On a heavier weight jacket an easy tell is a good press on the lapel since it's a repetitive and slow process that has to be done by hand. Nice action pleats btw.

you must work as salesman cause after watching this video , i feel like i wan to buy a vintage suit
Bro I think you probably notice your thick thighs more than other people probably do man you mention it all the frickin time they’re fine legs homie
This video showcases all the hallmarks in what to look for in a high quality suit indeed very helpful information thanks!

I started selling suits at a Macy's. I've been learning so much from my co workers and I've been learning so much from this Channel and from RMRS!
as someone who sells, on 1-100 how important is the material in the video relative to the quality of the fabric, ie super fine wool?
Thank you Gentleman's Gazette! Thanks to your videos I was able to find thifted a beautiful bespoke made blue vintage suit from Hong Kong. It fits really nice too

I love that suit! The color is so rich and the fit is nearly perfect
Cowboy Hank what would you change to make it perfect
To be perfectly honest, not much besides the small gaping next to his collar (perhaps because of his shoulders, perhaps it just isn't sitting correctly). I just didn't want to call it perfect and have somebody correct me, pointing out some minute detail I haven't trained myself to look at yet.

That grey jacket is definitely a Caraceni, I recognize the lining :)
I must say that the added visual helped tremendously, as some of us aren't familiar with the lingo.
Never take your suit to a dry cleaner and if you REALLY have to use a specialist dry cleaner. Invest in a quality suit brush with a bristle made from natural fibers. Preferably boar or horse hair and gently brush it after. Get a quality wooden hanger with wide shoulders and never use those wire hangers.
"my big thighs"
expensive does not equate with well made
peter kompter or to stylish. An expensive suit can still make you look like a clown.
If you lost 50lbs would you’re entire wardrobe be worthless? Is this a drawback to bespoke?
lol i made a similar comment on him loosing weight and now everyone is saying it haha but yes that is the case.
I believe you can always get the garment to a tailor for alteration
Yep. If it's a significant change alterations can't save the garment as it'l always look off.
The most you'll be able to alter a garment without destroying it is usually a full size up or down. Giving or taking about an inch. After that its always going to look worse.

And on some very beautiful Italian suits I have had, lots of virtually invisible stitching on each side of the jacket between the pocket and the bottom of the jacket.

Pattern matching is a pain, let me tell you. I always need more fabric for a suit or jackets than for non-pattern ones.
Do I even need to check the quality of Stefano Ricci suit? One suit cost $5,000 already. Mine is around $7,000.
Fantastic video. Just watched a video of these two "influencers" shopping for bespoke suits and comparing expensive and inexpensive ones, and I learned absolutely nothing. This video I couldn't stop taking notes lol.

About the fabric reserve thing you told about. Millionaire/billionaire customers in the tailor shop that I work on do not want 2 centimeters more on the back side. We make pants that fit. If the pants do not fit after few years, we make new ones.
Nice suit in the end, great content for clueless like me. Thanks 🙂💕
Love the lapels and patch pockets on your jacket, very old school
How about John Wicks suit? Now those are really bespoke...
It's stylish and it's bullet proof.
Hey Raffi
How come every time I need to buy something
People treat it like it’s a life decision?

exact !
hi, which high quality suit maker can I go to bespoke in Chicago? Thank you.
So your telling me my fancy new suit from JCPenny is garbage
Should have went to kohl's
When he flips the lapel up you can see the little string loop below the buttonhole to hold a flower in place. Most suits have the lapel buttonhole but not the loop. So why have the buttonhole?
Mainly for decorative purposes or because historically it's been that way
Why do you always whisper
I would not be caught dead with those suit
For whatever reason my thrift store has very very good suits that they sell for 6 dollars. Total deal.
You should do a video on how to wear purple!!
So basically suit that looks cheap is extremely expensive and suit that looks expensive is very cheap
😂😂😂😂😂😂
amazing video as always...do you happen to know is the shoulder pads on a jacket can be removed ? can a tailor remove them ?

Today November 23 / 2020 ....5:08 PM
! Super Like from me , plus 150 at this time!
Thank you!
If there isn't a material tag, chances are it's a very expensive suit.
🤡 my face as I'm paying 10k for a poliviscose suit
Pattern matching etc is okay, but rather strange the uneven, loose stich, vis a vis an even and firm stich, is a hallmark of a high quality suit..!!
Easy,it should be good quality
what do You think of Turkish suits...for example Sarar (they have stores now in Europe f.e Germany)?

sorry, that's not striped, it is a gessato
I sure wish this was available 30years ago. I needed to break all. This ground myself. Not that it wasn’t fun, but I didn’t have the time for everything and now cancer has made that time less.
Have a chance to pick up a bunch of Orazio Luciano suits. They high end suits? Good buy at $40 a piece to resell?
Are machine stitches really worse quality than hand stitchings?
Not worse quality, just a sign that it's a cheaper suit. Bespoke is more expensive
Where do you find so many jackets with functional sleeve buttons? I can't umagine that they're all custom, as you iften talk about buying g vintage... I've been looking all over and functional buttons seem to be extremely rare unless I go bespoke, which I certainly can't afford all the time...
But if you design, cut and sew your own suit with quality material, then, what criticism would you be giving or trying to point out? Because it's not a name brand? Haha
I could listen to you all day.
Do I even need to check the quality of Stefano Ricci suit? One suit cost $5,000 already. Mine is around $7,000.
Something to consider about secondhand bespoke suits: They are made to fit someone else, not you. Secondhand bespoke shoes are the worst - who wants a pair of shoes that aren't even symmetrical?
Have it tailor made,if you can afford it..labels are just that,you can have suit made overnight in HK or Thailand with any label you want..great video,TY
A hand sewn button hole... F... Me. I don't even do this on stuff I sew for myself!
Also, the lining is the last part assembled on a high end garment. If the cuff and body buttons are sewn through the lining put it back on the rack and shop elsewhere.
What does it mean when my suit label says "Ermenegildo Zegna"? 🤣 j/k
Gorgeous mise, Herr Schneider. I really love the suit, as well as the colors you have used, but I would definitively have used a wider necktie, in proportion to the lapels.
Quality and class are not the same thing. These suits lack the latter. But that is not the suits fault...Lol!
Your manufacturing in India
Wonderful video !
On a heavier weight jacket an easy tell is a good press on the lapel since it's a repetitive and slow process that has to be done by hand.
Nice action pleats btw.
my suit spine or middle back stitching looks quite loose. my suit is half lined. it fits perfect
but is the stitching should be a little loose?
