What’s up gents, do you have any of these jeans in your collection? I’ve got links to all featured jeans in the description. For reference, I’m 5’6”, 135 lbs and typically wear 28x28 OTR.
Great info Khoi. At 5’5 135 I find the GAP (regular) skinny fit me best. I wash them to shrink them a bit then to the tailor for a 26 inseam and a tapper from the knee down with a 6 inch leg opening.
Both pants from both Banana Republic & Express looks great on you. Gonna go check them out when I return to the States. The best fitting jeans that I ever wore without any tailoring are the Lee's 101 Luke slim Tapered. 30/30 or 30/28 (which is even better!)😁 I usually get my pants tailored to 26" inseam myself. 😅
Hey Khoi, I have a quick question for you. I am looking for a versatile Navy Blue Blazer. Should I focus on one material type like tweed? Is tweed versatile you think? Or should i go with what other material? Or should we have multiple fabric Navy Blue Blazers? But I only want one. Thank you Khoi!
You mention versatility. I like tweed and it can be versatile, but is definitely better suited for autumn/winter months and not as wearable in the warmer months of summer. Although the 4 season blazer doesn't really exist, the closest you'll get is with a nice mid-weight sport jacket in cotton or a jersey knit material, the knit be more casual. I'd definitely opt for a more casual navy blazer, with patch pockets, notch lapels and side vents. Look for an unstructured or unconstructed design, no or minimal quarter or half lining and no shoulder pads.
I think the Uniqlo stretch selvage looks best in this video... Question for anyone who can help me out... I'm male, 5'8" 160lb and I'm wearing a Levi's 513 size 33w x 30 length. However, I'm having two issues: 1) The waistband is getting this fold in the middle of it. I know I can wear a belt to fix this, but I don't like wearing belts. 2) If I croutch (like a catcher in baseball), or if I sit, there is this gap where the jeans open revealing my lower-back/underwear band... The wife says they look good on me, and I think they do as well, but how do I address these issues?
@@gentwithin thk u for the reply. guess I can try 32. but the size 33 feels kinda snug. I tried the 505 in 33 waist and they wouldn't even close! too much disparity in sizing!
Great video Khoi ! Do not like Banana Republic jeans their RISE sucks on all jeans with stretch or it can be just me? They are cut too much that make the butt area look weird. Anyway good content!
thanks man, I personally like the rise of the BR traveler. it's one of the higher rise pair of jeans in my collection. what don't you like about the rise?
@@gentwithin I don't like how they are cut. The way they wrap around my waist and butt area making this area look "warped" when all other jeans accentuate this area nicely on me. BR jeans do not conform to the contours of my body. Instead The wearer's body has to conform to the jeans.
in store..when i tried them in store they fit better but now have them they don't fit like a true skinny jeans...they fit more like the 511 oddly enough the 512 fits amazing on me...by way can you review the 512 i would really appreciate dude
That banana republic jeans have to literally wash by hands in a container of water & detergent just dip it in and out of the water a few times and let it air dry
idk.....slim jeans are not meant for dudes....that's really just a style meant for women to show off their legs and rear. Its not a manly look to me... Just my opinion

Great tip! thanks for sharing!
The express look the best! I bought a pair of the new stretch ones and they are incredibly soft.
they're legit!
Great video 👍🏼 useful since I’m shopping for a new pair or two tomorrow.
awesome! did you pick up any new pairs?

@@kevin-josephcruz8182 you too buddy
I think the Evelane Performance and the AE ones look the best on you. What shoes are wearing? Thanks for making that video
thanks for watching! they're Vejas
just found the channel, helping style asian skin tone. can you link or drop the brand and type of the black denim jacket in the video? Good job Khoi!
thanks brotha! the denim jacket is from Everlane. though that particular wash isn't in stock any longer.
Thanks for sharing as always. 👍
Thanks for watching as always! 🙏
Thanks for sharing. Look like i will go for UB101, instead of 201
glad this was helpful!
This video would be my reference, you doing great. I am new subcrber
Thanks for the sub!
What size did you get the Evelane performance jeans in? I'm about the same size and those look like they fit you pretty spot on.
28x28
@@gentwithin Cheers man. Thanks for the vid
Anyone know how these compare to the Revtown USA jeans? Those are the best I’ve had, but pretty expensive
What brand pocket T-shirt are you wearing in the vid?
It's from Uniqlo
Thank you for the info 👍

Thank you Khoi much appreciated! Very good advice
What shoes are you wearing with the uniqlo stretch selvedge slim?
They're the Diego from Nisolo
What is the ankle opening for each one?
most are 6-7"
Which would you say have the highest rise?
hmmm...the express jeans, uniqlo jeans, AE and BR have higher rises in my experience

its very odd...my 510 fits looser than a typical skinny😅..anyways love the video man🇵🇭
how much looser, did you get them from levi's directly or elsewhere?
in store..when i tried them in store they fit better but now have them they don't fit like a true skinny jeans...they fit more like the 511 oddly enough the 512 fits amazing on me...by way can you review the 512 i would really appreciate dude
@@remmasangcay5348 i see. i'll consider checking out the 512 sometime.
@@gentwithin by the way dude is the uniqlo selvedge a mid or low rise
@@remmasangcay5348 more of a mid
The Uniqlo jeans look the best fitting on you.
it's all personal preference really
