HSS has been an excellent guide and mentor in my sartorial journey. Most of all I appreciate the honest reviews and advice concerning brands, materials and style choices. I got even persuaded to make a visit to the Pini Parma store in Brussels, based on your review a while back. And I can very much validate your findings about the brand. It is awesome; very friendly and knowledgable staff, fabrics of the highest of shelves and a classic style which will never go out of fashion. Although the pants are a tad too slim for my (mountaineering) legs. However, I cannot but feel a bit disappointed about this video. I'm a little lost in how to interpret this new partnership/sponsored content by Suitsupply; especially compared to how evaluative/critical and genuine your other reviews feel compared to this one. I do hope HSS will be able to keep on delivering honest and genuine reviews/advice as in the past and that sponsored videos will stay to a bare minimum; because I would be a bit lost without them.
Thank you so much for your comment and I appreciate your concerns. As you can tell--assuming you watched the entire video--this is less of a review and more equal parts collection showcase, overview of the custom process, and lookbook. That was by design and a result of negotiations on our part because a sponsored "review" cannot be genuine and the reason I do not do sponsored reviews. We made that abundantly clear. You will recall from my previous Suitsupply review that I discussed many positives of the brand. Yes, I have had poor showroom experiences in the past and they were aware of that. Everything I put out on the channel, especially when it is something that I've had certain sensitivities to in the past, is done intentionally and with the utmost consideration. Had the brand not agreed to let this be an overview and lookbook and insisted on a "review" you would never have seen this video.
Hi Brian, thank you very much for your HSS style advice. Always a great joy to watch. Being Dutch like the Suitsupply Company of Fokke de Jong I am fortunaten to live nearby the SS outlet store. For many many years I have been being there suits, coats, shoes, trousers, shirts, ties etc. It is cheap and they alter everything in half an hour. You can buy there beautiful suits for 149€ coats for 100€, blazers for 50€ to 75€ max. All of a very good quality... 👍👍 I always leave the shop with a smile on my face....
Love how you start this video with your historic views. Not a TH-cam patsy who will say anything for $$$. Great looks and appreciate the videos after a brief hiatus. Keep it up Brian!
Their Made-to-Measure is much more worth than Ready-made. You have access to a much greater choice of cloths and you can personalise the suit, plus alterations are included.
Welcome back, Brian! I hope the trip was amazing. Nice to see that SS pays attention to customer feedback and improved upon it. Great collection. Of course I like the suit, but that polo and crew neck are also really nice. Cream is a great color. Thanks as always.
I just bought two new MTM suits, one jacket, trousers and a shirt at SS (everything costumized based on my measurements). I consider SS still a very good option for nice suits and essentials within a decent price range.
It sounds like SuitSupply has made a lot of improvements to its products. I did not have success with them in the past but may be willing to try them out again. My issue with them was it seems like for bigger guys they did not have a good fit.
Bravo on this video. I recall your earlier videos and was disappointed in your review because I wanted it to be more positive. However, I have to admit that my first two m2m suits from them were not 100% what I wanted in terms of fit. One issue that bothered me was the standard length of their rise. I like a classic length and many modern slacks have a short rise. This feature bugs me. After discussing my past issues with one of their consultants, she fitted me for my 3rd suit. A linen, silk, cotton blend and they nailed the fit. I would go as far as saying it's the best fitting suit I own. I believe the negative issues I had with my first two suits from SS were a result of me not knowing how to communicate what I wanted and did not want. For example, the rise on the pants. I did not know this was an issue for me until I tried on their slacks and was not pleased with something about it. It wasn't obvious because you don't really think about that. However, I knew that the pants fit differently than another pair I own which is not from SS and has a higher rise, which I prefer. It's things like that which make a difference. I am glad they were able to deliver this time. I think it really boils down to having a clear communication with the consultant about what you like and don't like when it comes to fit.
I have three suits bought from 2018-2019, all Lazio fit. I don't have anything pricier than them, so I'm a novice. I like the suits a lot (fitted but not absurdly so). I will say that the three jackets had variances in fit (compared the first one I bought that was in stock/ready to wear). The "custom" one I got was slightly more loose, then the third one I got in stock was tighter than the first two. Lazio is too slim for me, but I had each jacket let out slightly. However, I'd choose that fit for myself over the others--I'm built similar to Brian (though his timepiece collection alone makes him stronger and taller than me lol). After three years, no quality issues (though they haven't seen that much time since 2020 since I've been remote ever since).
It’s the go to brand I do use. It’s for my needs good enough and the regular Havanna 54 suits very well from the shelves. Good overview, have to update my wardrobe, changed quite a bit in the last years and as well need an slight update. Talking about blazers, pants needed to be fitted still for me but will check them out for sure. Cheers from Germany, would be nice to see again an update of your watch collection. Just saying.
Own the knit polo, dark navy sweater and bought the Linen pants in light grey just last weekend! So comfy and completely worth the $200. Almost picked up the drawstring pants too.
Incidentally I got my first SuitSupply MTM measurement done last week. The style advisor at Suit Supply suggested me a great fabric and a casual look that I wanted. Overall I liked the experience. Waiting for my next fitting session. Hopefully it won’t disappoint.
@@hespokestyle A custom made three piece , Mid blue check wool S110 fabric. Yesterday I received an email saying my MTM suit has arrived to the store. So I had my fitting session today. It’s come of really great. A small adjustment to the trouser length and it should be done I feel.
I have 4 double breasted suits from Suit Supply and I love them, but their prices have increased a lot, around 30%, I don't think they are the best option for that price nowadays. Anyway great Review, btw check the thumbnail, you wrote Reivew :)
@@slowinq8110 i bought very lightly used suitsupply suits and jackets for under 70 bucks each. i'd say that is a good option if you don't mind getting 2nd hand clothes!
I've been building up my suit wardrobe and from my point of view why not start with suit supply. After all if it wears down the cost is less than bespoke. And since I don't really need to wear suits for work, it's all for leisure. But to remain practical I don't want to worry too much about a jacket being stained or ripped up on a sharp item someone I happen to bump into. I couldn't get that ease of mind if I was spending thousands on bespoke. So I went deep, ordered a polo coat, several jackets, trousers, some staples such as a turtle neck, polo and a bunch of shirts. So to start off with the custom shirts. Again I'm not familiar with bespoke yet, but the shirts do fit fantastic. I have them detailed to my liking and little details such as mother of pearl buttons, because why not?! Custom shirts I highly recommend. And for the price you can quickly build up a solid base of an array of shirts. A white french cuffed and collar shirt like Gordon Gekko is being made and should arrive pretty soon. Than the jackets. I went to town on the jackets. Since they were odd jackets, i might as well go bold, with wide peak lapels, nice bold shoulders, and on one did the Milanese hand stitch button hole, yeah it was a bit much. And all unconstructed since I'm wearing them in Sydney, Singapore and Dubai as the warmest places apart from northern Europe in winter, that's where the coat comes in. Patch pockets on all of them and one a sartorial rolled button (2+1). Yeah that's a bit much as well. The trousers I really like, specially the 'braddon trouser' with a high rise, almost a gurkha trouser but a bit neater, they do have the option to have a true gurkha made, which will be next on the list. Cotton off white a great staple and a s110 navy and traveler fabric (wrinkle free) grey. And yes got myself the cuffed trouser and he is right, it's the best thing to travel with. It obviously dress better than gym pants and you will look sharp and it's comfortable as ever with a s110 fabric and obviously unlined. I wear them with a pair of Adidas Ultra Boosts to keep the ultimate ultra comfort. Great to do do the walking on sneakers at the airport. Than the coat a beautiful navy herringbone polo coat. Double breasted, perfect with plenty of room to wear a full suit underneath when travelling to Europe during winter. Now I can't help myself to get a camel coat single breasted. A couple of years ago I got a suit supply suit, and it wasn't the best thing, The jacket was a bit off, but i must add it was an off the rack item and the trousers were in the same fabric but not as a part of the jacket. But the recent odd jackets are all custom and fits perfectly. So I'm ready to order a couple of suits soon as well. Got my eyes on a beautiful s150 blue fabric. And I do need a tuxedo as well, and the options they offer are wild. My first tuxedo was from Vietnam, when I visited Hoi An the capital of (cheap) tailoring. I wanted a tux just like James Bond in casino royale. It wasn't a good suit, it didn't fit well, the fabric is terrible. But I consider it a souvenir, and for $200 bucks ow well, I supported the local economy. I'll gladly hand Suitsupply over my money for a lot more pieces, yes the staff can be a bit slick from time to time, but I have a guy now that I do appointments with and he offers the right suggestions, advice not to do something if it doesn't work for me. I'm super happy. It might feel unpersonal to some, but remember this is MTM at best, and the value they offer is pretty crazy. So I take the service for what it is.
No opinion on Suit Supply as I've never looked at our bought from them, but that knit polo is awesome. Where I live is very hot and humid during the summer, and I have several knit polos from various companies. They work great casually (with shorts and boat shoes) and smart casual/business casual (with slacks/dress shoes or with chinos/chukkas). They never fail to impress. I'll have to check out SS version.
I miss the days when suits/ties was the norm in a professional environment. Sadly, my office has gone more casual post-Covid (i.e. slacks & sports coat at most). I have a bunch of suits hanging in the closet that I will seldom wear again.
Is there a reason you cannot just keep wearing your suits? Also you can break your suits up and make more "casual" outfits for the office if you don't want to stick out. Also just wear what you want honestly.
Wear them anyway! It's what I do. I work at a not for profit and everyone I meet just believes me wearing a suit means I take my work seriously, which I do.
I’m going to have to pay a visit to the Greenwich CT location ! I worked in that area for 2 years and coincidentally now that I’m no longer there - I want pieces from them lol Great video !
I recently purchased a suit from Suit Supply for my upcoming Wedding (not a tux) - Double Breasted style, just like yours! I'm 5'5 140 pounds, and was in between the Standard and Wide Peak Lapel. My initial thought was standard but the two experienced stylists there told me to go wide. Not gonna see the final product for 3 ish weeks, but hoping you could tell me your opinion as well! I believed and trusted their opinion, but I'm second guessing it a lot!
it's been a while since your last video, Brian. good to see you back. it seems like your taste is leaning more casual as of recent as compared to a couple of years ago. i personally prefer the slightly more dressier looks on you. not quite feeling some of the outfit combinations / styles that you put together for this video. nevertheless, hope to see more style videos from you. cheers!
Sometimes I wish the trousers were slightly tighter below the knee but I’m a shorter guy so I don’t like anything baggy. But the fit is still great and the quality is good.
Hey Brian. I tried suit supply a couple years back and also had some problems with the pants. Glad to hear they seemed to resolve that issue. I think ill give SS another shot. Your suit looks sharp by the way. Cheers.
Was on their website a couple of days ago, looking at sport coats and at some point an overcoat. Wish they had a location closer than Chicago, but do travel that way several times a year, so have to make plans to visit when I can fit it in. Really don't want to order online, still hesitant on that process. Either that or I will find something local. Thanks for the timely video!
I don’t know what other brands compare in this category- I haven’t heard great things about Indochino. I like that suitsupply has stores near me and an extensive online store. They’re much cheaper than the luxury brands I’ve seen too. It seems like I can buy every style of clothing from them. Are there even other stores that exist in this category?
Used to be into SS but prices have really shot up and I have grown to prefer a less slim trouser these days. Hence becoming a bit of a Spier and Mackay addict, they have a slightly more mature style overall. Although the crap strength of the £ is making it less attractive now unfortunately.
Not the first to have noted that in the comments here. I, too, am not into the slim thing and I was honestly pleasantly surprised with how the trousers fit, as mentioned.
Great video! Loving the earthy tones as much as you do 👌🏼 what size did you go for the vest and what's your chest size? Just to have a reference of how TTS this one is..will def order one myself! Thank you sir!
Been a great fan of Suitsupply for years. However, in the last year they really raised their prices to a level (especially with MTM) that they are no longer the best deal on the market in my opinion. More ‘exotic’ fabrics will take you into the € 700-800 range, which is just too much for what you get. For the money they ask, it would be interesting to see different inner fabrics, for instance. Also feel they have a tendency to make everything slightly too tight. As an alternative, Pini Parma might be a better deal to get a great quality suit. Sure, it is not MTM, but it is of far better quality than Suitsupply.
I think that their MtM is reasonably priced especially if you live in the U.S. A Holland & Sherry fabric would roughly cost 900$ but it is the same figure in the U.K. £900. So, depending on where you live, you may save a hefty penny on some quality cloth like H&S or Loro Piana. As for the fit, you can customise this when ordering your suit albeit it is an issue in their RTW especially for the thigh.
Hi there, could you precise which fabric reference you chose for the nice sports jacket ? Why did you choose to have the half canvas removed ? Thanks for the video !
Unfortunately the closest suit supply to me is about four hours away in Atlanta. I’m really interested in getting a made to measure suit but idk if it’s worth the drive. My other options are Indochino and Hive and Colony
Would highly recommend you check out our selection. Much better prices than suitsupply, higher quality and much better service. And if you're contemplating suitsupply, that tells me you're not overly concerned with price so I wouldn't even entertain those other options. Here is a link to our shop: hespokestyle.com/shop/
This is quite the change from your old SuitSupply review haha. Loving it! SuitSupply has come a long way since their overly-sexualized campaigns from year's past.
Haha not too much. As I mentioned in the beginning here, there were a lot of positives in that older review. I was very happy to have had a great experience at the showroom this time.
I haven't had any experience with Pini Parma beyond the video I made a few years back. Would be interested to see how they are today and if they have a MTM program and how it stacks up.
you should mention that ALL of their non tailored clothing is extremely slim fit. Anyone size 44 chest or larger can not even buy a XXL sweater. Anything I have from SS is custom. very good value and quality but they do not offer sweaters, polos etc in custom
tailored drawstring trousers are THE best, got in on this on the advice from my guy at a certain Italian Su Misura brand, now always ordering a second pair with suits and got a few for day-to-day in flannel and some travel fabrics the color on the VBC one is excellent - mind sharing the fabric code if available ?
Actually the custom made suit fits the worst of all these outfits and that shows the experience of a good friend of me also. He married 3 weeks ago and had a tailormade suit of suitsupply here in Hamburg Germany. It was just too big to say it frankly 😂
Would love to at some point. I'm curious about S&M from a business perspective. I can't imagine they're making great margins with the prices the have. Maybe the strategy was to flood the market and get by with razor thin margins until enough buzz built up.
@@hespokestyle yes, unsure how Rick does it, but he does and knocks it out of the park. I typically wait for sales, but am happy to pay full price for something if it is something I will wear a lot. Plus it helps having a company in Canada for easy returns and exchange rate
@@hespokestyle yeah, to get a proper jacket buttoning point and asssociater pant rise I need ~14" of front rise and Suitsupply only offers up to ~13.1-13.2
Sorry, maybe because of my age, maybe because I am not a stylish guy but I won't ever wear white sneakers out of the gym. That trouser you love... No, not my taste. However, the rest of the clothes are very interesting pieces and you nail it styling them the way you did. Congrats.
SS stores began "you can't try on unless you are with a sales staff" joke. Total nonsense. SS's pants fit are off and the key is to get one size smaller and then alter to make the waist larger.
The fabric is too light and I find it just doesn't work. I prefer cuffs on most of my trousers--wool, tweed, flannel, cotton--because it helps with the drape (and I just like the look).
Brian What material is the most wrinkle resistant material for dress shirts in your expert opinion? I am beyond pissed. I have gotten some shirts made and after talking to the mfg they recommend 100% cotton twill. I light starch it and basically after just putting it on it is wrinkled to hell. Even just moving my arm back and forth 2 times makes the arm wrinkle to hell. Is this a joke? The shirt material is completely wrinkled before I even leave the house. What material should I look for? Help.
I always enjoy your video it's just so relaxing! thank you!!! have you ever heard about Massimo Dutti brand. I love this brand. check it out!😉you will love it too.
just for clarification: you were obviously paid for this ad- which isnt a problem itself; did you however have any say in how you made this video and the opinions you express in it? Would be helpful to know.. Very interesting video though
This is your first video that I am watching, and either you don't understand tailoring, or you are covering up for the brand (more likely) due to your partnership. How are we supposed to see how the suit fits if you never button the jacket, or show the back side? Additionally you are always holding onto the jacket with your hands, so we cannot see how the fabric naturally drapes. Additionally, the jacket is around 1 3/4" inches too long, making you appear shorter. And black linen??? This defeats the whole purpose of linen.
You lost me at trying to criticize black linen lmao. You know there are different decrees of warmth, right? Black linen is just another option for if you want a different look in the warmer seasons. Obviously if it's too hot, you wear something light in color. How on earth are you gonna criticize that 😂
the jacket is.. too long..? the length looks fine to me, and stuff like that has always been up to debate or preference. i mean, some suits king charles wear looks as if the length is similar.
Watch it again. And watch this video again. You must not have watched the entire first one because there are positives in it, as stated in the opening here.
@@hespokestyle fair enough 😂. While I have your attention, how do you feel about gurkha trousers and would you consider reviewing some labels line Craftsman Clothing, Collaro, The Anthology, etc.?
A double-breasted suit should never be worn unbuttoned. You're getting away with it here just posing, but if I saw you walking down the street looking like that I'd think to myself you didn't know what you were doing.
They ask too much money for their made in china suits. On top of that, tax plus tailoring. It’s rape. Better options these days but I do understand that they have a staff and rent but dam still too much for me tbh.
@@ryancooke4028 it was ok but for the price and hassle as well as poor customer service …was never told of any delays until I called a week before the wedding (took a call to their head office the in store location didn’t even pick up on 2 different days) (ended up being 1400$) I would probably go somewhere else

Cotton off white a great staple and a s110 navy and traveler fabric (wrinkle free) grey.
And yes got myself the cuffed trouser and he is right, it's the best thing to travel with. It obviously dress better than gym pants and you will look sharp and it's comfortable as ever with a s110 fabric and obviously unlined. I wear them with a pair of Adidas Ultra Boosts to keep the ultimate ultra comfort. Great to do do the walking on sneakers at the airport.
Than the coat a beautiful navy herringbone polo coat. Double breasted, perfect with plenty of room to wear a full suit underneath when travelling to Europe during winter.
Now I can't help myself to get a camel coat single breasted.
A couple of years ago I got a suit supply suit, and it wasn't the best thing, The jacket was a bit off, but i must add it was an off the rack item and the trousers were in the same fabric but not as a part of the jacket.
But the recent odd jackets are all custom and fits perfectly.
So I'm ready to order a couple of suits soon as well. Got my eyes on a beautiful s150 blue fabric. And I do need a tuxedo as well, and the options they offer are wild.
My first tuxedo was from Vietnam, when I visited Hoi An the capital of (cheap) tailoring. I wanted a tux just like James Bond in casino royale. It wasn't a good suit, it didn't fit well, the fabric is terrible. But I consider it a souvenir, and for $200 bucks ow well, I supported the local economy.
I'll gladly hand Suitsupply over my money for a lot more pieces, yes the staff can be a bit slick from time to time, but I have a guy now that I do appointments with and he offers the right suggestions, advice not to do something if it doesn't work for me. I'm super happy.
It might feel unpersonal to some, but remember this is MTM at best, and the value they offer is pretty crazy. So I take the service for what it is.
The brown blazers very sleek & tailored nice Ropping Sholders
I’d love to see a video of you reviewing suits and other articles from Spier and Mackey
Missed your videos! Hope you had fun during your stay in the UK.
We did! Thanks so much!
I just bought my first Suite went with a Navy 3 piece, at Suite Supply Montreal, as per your recommendation ! Maxime there was awesome
Amazing! Great to hear. Hope you love it.
No opinion on Suit Supply as I've never looked at our bought from them, but that knit polo is awesome. Where I live is very hot and humid during the summer, and I have several knit polos from various companies. They work great casually (with shorts and boat shoes) and smart casual/business casual (with slacks/dress shoes or with chinos/chukkas). They never fail to impress. I'll have to check out SS version.
Thanks for chiming in, Stephen!
I miss the days when suits/ties was the norm in a professional environment. Sadly, my office has gone more casual post-Covid (i.e. slacks & sports coat at most). I have a bunch of suits hanging in the closet that I will seldom wear again.
You'll have to make occasions to wear them! That's what my wife and I do.
Is there a reason you cannot just keep wearing your suits? Also you can break your suits up and make more "casual" outfits for the office if you don't want to stick out. Also just wear what you want honestly.
Wear them anyway! It's what I do. I work at a not for profit and everyone I meet just believes me wearing a suit means I take my work seriously, which I do.
@@tomdiprose4354 Me too. I still wear my suits to the office, even though no one else does. Never had negative comments about it, just compliments.
@@sc1 Love your work!
Love the Houndstooth brown blazer not bad I can see it being worn with Green Vert Pant s brown Chelsea boots by Magnanni .
Awesome video, i'm actually getting my suit tailored at suitsupply right now!
Great! Hope you love it.
Always great stuff, Brian. That charcoal suit is tops. Cheers, man!
Many thanks, Dominic.
I’m going to have to pay a visit to the Greenwich CT location ! I worked in that area for 2 years and coincidentally now that I’m no longer there - I want pieces from them lol Great video !
Thanks for the support!
I recently purchased a suit from Suit Supply for my upcoming Wedding (not a tux) - Double Breasted style, just like yours! I'm 5'5 140 pounds, and was in between the Standard and Wide Peak Lapel. My initial thought was standard but the two experienced stylists there told me to go wide. Not gonna see the final product for 3 ish weeks, but hoping you could tell me your opinion as well! I believed and trusted their opinion, but I'm second guessing it a lot!
I went with Husbands-Paris, their Made to Measure process is top notch.
Not familiar.
Great pick ups, Brian.
Look 6 is a yes for me. I really like the Jacket. Personally I would not wear those sneakers, something in leather would be my deal ;)
it's been a while since your last video, Brian. good to see you back. it seems like your taste is leaning more casual as of recent as compared to a couple of years ago. i personally prefer the slightly more dressier looks on you. not quite feeling some of the outfit combinations / styles that you put together for this video. nevertheless, hope to see more style videos from you. cheers!
Thanks, as always, for your comment. I was away for five weeks overseas.
@@hespokestyle cool. Where did you travel to?
Welcome Back!!
Many thanks!
Nice collection
Thank you!
Sometimes I wish the trousers were slightly tighter below the knee but I’m a shorter guy so I don’t like anything baggy. But the fit is still great and the quality is good.
Hey Brian. I tried suit supply a couple years back and also had some problems with the pants. Glad to hear they seemed to resolve that issue. I think ill give SS another shot. Your suit looks sharp by the way. Cheers.
That button-up shirt in 5:09 seems like with an one-piece collar
Could be
Was on their website a couple of days ago, looking at sport coats and at some point an overcoat. Wish they had a location closer than Chicago, but do travel that way several times a year, so have to make plans to visit when I can fit it in. Really don't want to order online, still hesitant on that process. Either that or I will find something local. Thanks for the timely video!
You're very welcome. Good luck!
I don’t know what other brands compare in this category- I haven’t heard great things about Indochino. I like that suitsupply has stores near me and an extensive online store. They’re much cheaper than the luxury brands I’ve seen too. It seems like I can buy every style of clothing from them. Are there even other stores that exist in this category?
Used to be into SS but prices have really shot up and I have grown to prefer a less slim trouser these days. Hence becoming a bit of a Spier and Mackay addict, they have a slightly more mature style overall. Although the crap strength of the £ is making it less attractive now unfortunately.
Not the first to have noted that in the comments here. I, too, am not into the slim thing and I was honestly pleasantly surprised with how the trousers fit, as mentioned.
Wow where are these square black sunglasses from? Great looks.
Cant find the houndstooth sport coat if I look on the suitsupply website.
Ah, sorry. It may have been cycled out for more fall styles. The fabric is by Ferla (code is 11014/18). You could likely ask for it specifically.
I'm a fan of the JOHNNY COLLAR.
Sweet!
Finally!
Glad to oblige.
Great video! Loving the earthy tones as much as you do 👌🏼 what size did you go for the vest and what's your chest size? Just to have a reference of how TTS this one is..will def order one myself! Thank you sir!
Thanks! It’s a small.
Been a great fan of Suitsupply for years. However, in the last year they really raised their prices to a level (especially with MTM) that they are no longer the best deal on the market in my opinion. More ‘exotic’ fabrics will take you into the € 700-800 range, which is just too much for what you get.
For the money they ask, it would be interesting to see different inner fabrics, for instance. Also feel they have a tendency to make everything slightly too tight.
As an alternative, Pini Parma might be a better deal to get a great quality suit. Sure, it is not MTM, but it is of far better quality than Suitsupply.
Thanks so much for the comment. Your sentiment is a theme amongst a handful of other commenters as well.
@@hespokestyle I'd be interested on your take on this. Do you share the sentiment as well? Thank you and keep up the good work!
@@s.egberink5357 I honestly haven't followed their prices closely enough to comment.
I agree, I'm a big fan of Pini Parma as well as Spier& Mackay
I think that their MtM is reasonably priced especially if you live in the U.S.
A Holland & Sherry fabric would roughly cost 900$ but it is the same figure in the U.K. £900. So, depending on where you live, you may save a hefty penny on some quality cloth like H&S or Loro Piana.
As for the fit, you can customise this when ordering your suit albeit it is an issue in their RTW especially for the thigh.
Are they cutting the suit jackets longer now? The fit of the sports coat and suit look great
Not sure, honestly. Perhaps? I do think the length is superb.
Hi there, could you precise which fabric reference you chose for the nice sports jacket ? Why did you choose to have the half canvas removed ? Thanks for the video !
can you make a vid about classic brioni vs more tight tom ford?
Thanks for the video. Can I ask what OCBD you’re wearing in the video?
Sure! Not an OCBD. It’s flannel from Land’s End: rstyle.me/cz-n/gvqwfns9w6
So for 2023 who is your favorite suit maker? Just saw your Pini Parma video.
Excellent 👍🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Who makes the travel luggage you have?
I have one kind of similar made by Globetrotter.
Rimowa. But I assume you're talking about the case on the clothing rack? That one is by Steamline.
Unfortunately the closest suit supply to me is about four hours away in Atlanta. I’m really interested in getting a made to measure suit but idk if it’s worth the drive. My other options are Indochino and Hive and Colony
Would highly recommend you check out our selection. Much better prices than suitsupply, higher quality and much better service. And if you're contemplating suitsupply, that tells me you're not overly concerned with price so I wouldn't even entertain those other options. Here is a link to our shop: hespokestyle.com/shop/
As of today (your video's release date), Suitsupply's website does not offer that houndstooth in brown.
The fabric is Ferla (code 11014/18). You can likely ask for that specific fabric at the showroom.
Would it be possible to have the brand name and style of the sun glasses? Thank you
Jacques Marie Mage Molino.
@@hespokestyle thank you !
This is quite the change from your old SuitSupply review haha. Loving it! SuitSupply has come a long way since their overly-sexualized campaigns from year's past.
Haha not too much. As I mentioned in the beginning here, there were a lot of positives in that older review. I was very happy to have had a great experience at the showroom this time.
Do you still recommend Pini Parma over suitsupply?
I haven't had any experience with Pini Parma beyond the video I made a few years back. Would be interested to see how they are today and if they have a MTM program and how it stacks up.
you should mention that ALL of their non tailored clothing is extremely slim fit. Anyone size 44 chest or larger can not even buy a XXL sweater. Anything I have from SS is custom. very good value and quality but they do not offer sweaters, polos etc in custom
tailored drawstring trousers are THE best, got in on this on the advice from my guy at a certain Italian Su Misura brand, now always ordering a second pair with suits and got a few for day-to-day in flannel and some travel fabrics
the color on the VBC one is excellent - mind sharing the fabric code if available ?
These are them: suitsupply.com/en-us/men/trousers/mid-brown-drawstring-ames-trousers/B1824.html
@@hespokestyle thank you
Is the Double Breasted Jacket Lightly Padded or Natural Shoulder?
Which suit is better pini Parma or suitsupply?
whats your jacket size? for me they pretty small in chest/ shoulders
Actually the custom made suit fits the worst of all these outfits and that shows the experience of a good friend of me also. He married 3 weeks ago and had a tailormade suit of suitsupply here in Hamburg Germany. It was just too big to say it frankly 😂
Will you still ever look into Spier & Mackay, Brian? Or not in the plan anymore?
Would love to at some point. I'm curious about S&M from a business perspective. I can't imagine they're making great margins with the prices the have. Maybe the strategy was to flood the market and get by with razor thin margins until enough buzz built up.
@@hespokestyle yes, unsure how Rick does it, but he does and knocks it out of the park. I typically wait for sales, but am happy to pay full price for something if it is something I will wear a lot. Plus it helps having a company in Canada for easy returns and exchange rate
How would you style the charcoal double-breasted suit for a formal event?
Like you see in the thumbnail. Full length here: instagram.com/p/CiCfl1ho2JE/
More formal than that, I'd do a black grenadine tie and black oxfords.
What country are their clothing manufactured?
My only complaints with the pants is that they don't offer a rise high enough for me to use them as suit trousers, tall people problems I guess
Interesting!
@@hespokestyle yeah, to get a proper jacket buttoning point and asssociater pant rise I need ~14" of front rise and Suitsupply only offers up to ~13.1-13.2
Sorry, maybe because of my age, maybe because I am not a stylish guy but I won't ever wear white sneakers out of the gym. That trouser you love... No, not my taste. However, the rest of the clothes are very interesting pieces and you nail it styling them the way you did. Congrats.
Thanks for the comment.
SS stores began "you can't try on unless you are with a sales staff" joke. Total nonsense. SS's pants fit are off and the key is to get one size smaller and then alter to make the waist larger.
You normally go smaller and tailor upwards?
Why don’t you like cuffs on your linen trousers?
The fabric is too light and I find it just doesn't work. I prefer cuffs on most of my trousers--wool, tweed, flannel, cotton--because it helps with the drape (and I just like the look).
@@hespokestyle maybe you can try a review of Spier and Mackey mtm or OTR some day?
Brian
What material is the most wrinkle resistant material for dress shirts in your expert opinion? I am beyond pissed. I have gotten some shirts made and after talking to the mfg they recommend 100% cotton twill. I light starch it and basically after just putting it on it is wrinkled to hell. Even just moving my arm back and forth 2 times makes the arm wrinkle to hell. Is this a joke? The shirt material is completely wrinkled before I even leave the house. What material should I look for? Help.
why didn´t you button the suit?
If the prices had not increased so much
Hearing that a lot in the comments.
Belíssimo
Cheers.
I always enjoy your video it's just so relaxing! thank you!!! have you ever heard about Massimo Dutti brand. I love this brand. check it out!😉you will love it too.
Thanks so much.
just for clarification: you were obviously paid for this ad- which isnt a problem itself; did you however have any say in how you made this video and the opinions you express in it? Would be helpful to know..
Very interesting video though
Oh, yes. In fact, it was important that I was able to communicate my past experiences.
This is your first video that I am watching, and either you don't understand tailoring, or you are covering up for the brand (more likely) due to your partnership. How are we supposed to see how the suit fits if you never button the jacket, or show the back side? Additionally you are always holding onto the jacket with your hands, so we cannot see how the fabric naturally drapes. Additionally, the jacket is around 1 3/4" inches too long, making you appear shorter. And black linen??? This defeats the whole purpose of linen.
As a musician that’s in my black suit a lot, especially to funeral performances, a black linen suit would be a godsend actually
You lost me at trying to criticize black linen lmao. You know there are different decrees of warmth, right?
Black linen is just another option for if you want a different look in the warmer seasons. Obviously if it's too hot, you wear something light in color. How on earth are you gonna criticize that 😂
the jacket is.. too long..? the length looks fine to me, and stuff like that has always been up to debate or preference. i mean, some suits king charles wear looks as if the length is similar.
Are those suits too long..?
I'm a Grooming Master I need videos like this
I’m confused bc your last non sponsored reviewed was of a different
opinion
Watch it again. And watch this video again. You must not have watched the entire first one because there are positives in it, as stated in the opening here.
I personally feel like a white collared shirt is a bit too formal for a jeans look. Any one else feel that way?
Not me!
@@hespokestyle fair enough 😂. While I have your attention, how do you feel about gurkha trousers and would you consider reviewing some labels line Craftsman Clothing, Collaro, The Anthology, etc.?
@@comicog3 I like ghurkas, but they're not really for me. Would definitely consider those brands.
A double-breasted suit should never be worn unbuttoned. You're getting away with it here just posing, but if I saw you walking down the street looking like that I'd think to myself you didn't know what you were doing.
Come to Florence for Pitti and you'll wonder what 100s of people are doing.
They ask too much money for their made in china suits. On top of that, tax plus tailoring. It’s rape. Better options these days but I do understand that they have a staff and rent but dam still too much for me tbh.
When they're paying you to do a 'review', it's called a promotion. I'll pass on this one
Or you could watch and see that it’s more of an overview because, yes, I do t do paid “reviews”. This was a major part of the negotiation.
@@hespokestyle Then why does it say 'review' in the title?
@@freshpressedify Watch or don't. Hope you do but doesn't matter to me. See you in future comments!
Stoped paying attention when he said McNut
Um, okay?
pretty crap in my opinion...ordered a custom made suit from them...didnt arrive for the wedding...........never again
Appreciate you taking the time to chime in. How long before the wedding did you order the suit?
@@hespokestyle around 2 months...the lead time was 4 weeks apparently as promised...wasnt the only person to experience this
@@aynrandfan7454 any opinions on the actual suit once you got it?
@@ryancooke4028 it was ok but for the price and hassle as well as poor customer service …was never told of any delays until I called a week before the wedding (took a call to their head office the in store location didn’t even pick up on 2 different days)
(ended up being 1400$) I would probably go somewhere else
Hated all the outfits
🤷🏻♂️
