    2 things about this video:
    1- my turtleneck is too thick for this suit. I grabbed the wrong one to shoot the talking part of this video. That makes my jacket look too small for me. SUIT MISTAKE!
    2- not being political with the thumbnail. President Trump’s ties are just always too long :)

    So Alex
    There are a few things wrong with this suit :
    First off, the shoulders are not the right size, the sleeves should be a centimeter or two lower, the bottom of the jacket should also be fairly lower.
    I work with menswear ,tailoring specifically and overall this looks more like a Zara fit than a classic and timeless suit.
    Do consider going a size up on the jacket

      I think the fit conforms to the latest styles. Everything looks a size too small. Jackets too tight and too short. Pants so tight you need stretchy material and too short like we're expecting a flood. Hard to find a comfortable relaxed fit. I hate the look and it's not a new look. This look was tried in the sixties and gave way to the funky seventies.

    the suit at 3:05 needs to be retouched, at least 2cm, on your back (neck area) as well as on your right shoulder.
    I think the suit jacket should be a bit longer as it doesn't hide your :"+ correctly.

Either way, if you do a google search you will see that his style is current and has been for at least 20+ years. I assume we are not from the same social circle because you cannot see the class therefore you do not have it. Class is not just looks, but demeanor as well and you are not a nice person based on your comment.

      I would like to address something if you don’t mind. I worded the social circles point incorrectly. That was not meant to be rude or say that I am better than you. I could have said we are from different areas with different styles, etc. (you know what I mean?). As for class, that was a sh**ty thing to say and I am sorry.

    Another mistake: buying an expensive suit (Hugo Boss or Armani for example) when you only wear a suit 5 times a year or less. I bought my most recent suit from Zara, which isn't amazing quality, but good enough for how often I intend to use it

      Buy quality movements nothing worse than a $500 fashion watch with a 10 dollar quartz movement no blingy watches or techno ones with a suit. Chronograph ok if its analogue and you're an engineer.
      Doesn't have to be a Lange and Sonne, Rolex, Piget,or Paneri but no fakes!
      Ball,Steinhart,Orient,Seiko,laco,Sinn,Hamilton or other mid horological pieces, swiss,German,or japanese. Preferably analogue and mechanical if you can afford it.
      Probably the best dress watch value is the Orient bambino. In house automatic mechanical movement with many styles and colors starting at around $100 or the seiko 5 line, literally 100s to choose from all analogue day date automatics with see through movement screw down case backs.

    You saved me from wearing a smart watch with a suit😂😂 Good tip on the tightness if you sit down with it button the suit may rip because you’re applying too much force to it and it will be uncomfortable while if you sit with it unbuttoned it will be comfortable and save the it from ripping because while you sit the suit wraps around you if you unbutton it it won’t do that.

  • @pflau1
    @pflau1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I am a classic dresser and I beg to differ on many points in this video.
    Point 1: A smart watch is perfectly fine. The important thing is the shirt needs to be made with a custom cuff to fit the watch underneath so it is only visible when it is used.
    Point 2: Leave stitching in pockets that you don’t use is fine.
    Point 3: Watch at 1:45 is way too big to be worn with the style of suit in the video.
    Point 4: Suit is TOO tailored. The Tom Ford look is popular now but it is very unforgiving. An extra sweater or a vest will throw the line of the suit off. Also, paints are too short. The paint legs should touch the top of the shoes so socks are not visible.
    Point 5: A thicker wallet is OK as long as the jacket has enough room to accommodate it. What is unsightly is the wallet creating a bulge such that the lapels do not lie flat against the chest.
    Point 6: Three button is fine - you only need to button the middle button. But a Tom Ford style jacket just isn’t long enough to accommodate three buttons.
    Point 7: Trump’s tie is not too big as long as his lapel width matches.
    Point 8: I’ve actually seen label left on jacket sleeve. I don’t care if it says silk or mohair it is not tasteful.
    Point 9: The Tom Ford highly fitted look might just be a passing fad. Especially that it has a tendency to expose shirt fabric above the belt buckle.
    Point 10: Pocket square tends to be pretentious unless for an evening formal affair.

    You’re making one the biggest mistakes in wearing a suit, with the bottom of your shirt and belt being visible under your suit jacket which draws attention to your crotch which is disadvantageous when wearing a suit. Your trousers should sit higher at your natural waist line so the shirt is not visible underneath where the jacket splits at your belt. This will create a nice seamless look.

Apple watches can be styled with the right straps which can blend into a formal outfit such as a suit.What I see is that, some guys wear size 44mm watches on their small hands. I recommend getting the right size watch that's proportionate to your hand size. But nonetheless, cheers for the brilliant tips mate.

    Alex you have some good fashion style points in regards to the removal of the tags and wearing too many accessories and how to properly button a suit. I think wearing an apple watch is cool unless your are going on an job interview. I believe a mans suit should fit him comfortably with freedom of movement. I see many of you younger guys who like to wear your suits a little too tight fitting like you are trying possibly to show of your physique and guns (if you have guns). If and unfortunate situation were to arise where you have to defend yourself or your partner. That tight fitting suit is going to be somewhat of a hindrance. Before I even viewed your video I speculated that your fashion tips would not be all that serious . Why did I suspect that? It's was mainly do to your copy cat Robin Thicke hair style together with the beard. I bet good $ that when you are out in public that you see many male clones wearing that same exact hair style.
