Thank you Aziz! That brown tweed coat is our first Prototype AskOkey Coat. We keep it in the company’s museum as an historical artifact. Hope you are well. PROFF
I've got a question Mr. Okey. When you buy a suit off the rack and you wanted to get it tailored just right, is it a good idea to go a size or two up so you can get the right fit so it lays right?
Mr. Okey, brilliant video as always! I wanted to ask you what is your typical suit size and what is your height and weight? The reason why I am asking you this is because I’m starting to build a wardrobe for myself (I am 26) and don’t want to invest heavily in garments that may not fit the same as I age. I am around a 40R and I am a bit heavy. After cutting some weight I should fit easily into a 40R or a 38R. Also what size suits did you wear when you were in your 20’s? I am aware that you mostly wear bespoke suits, but I just wanted to ask out f curiosity.
Good morning H. Welcome to AskOkey. That’s a lot is questions but let’s give it a go 😁 I now would take the equivalent of a size 44-45 US Jacket. Which is the exact measurement of my chest (46-47 when lifting heavy). When I was in my twenties, I took a size 42 because I wasn’t as developed in my muscular structure. My waist hasn’t changed a lick in over 20 years. I still wear size 32-33 pants. Everyone’s physiology is different. I did put on some size over that time but mainly muscle from lifting heavy. I now box for sport do more lean and muscular. I don’t intend to add any more muscle at this stage in my life. Just focus on maintaining my current form. At your 20’s, just focus on learning and experimenting with different cuts till you find your own voice. Hope that helps PROFF👑
It’s so interesting seeing slim fit trousers compared to the drape trousers we prefer it’s like when the whole suit is slim it looks rather monotonous and doesn’t show the full potential of how well a suit looks i feel like every piece of the suit shines in its own way but the trousers should be drape cut to shine and show how well the perfect pleats match the well tailored blazer and for slim trousers they can never be as perfectly crisp and drape as perfectly as the drape cut ones are because it’s too narrow to give it true justice and I feel like there’s something more commanding about drape cut trousers it makes you look rather more like a man than a child
Very well said Lawful. I have favorite saying .. Clothes must have A CHARACTER of their own quite apart from the beholder The only way to insure this is to cut your clothes such that they MOVE when you stride Let the CLOTH SHINE! And that means cutting your clothes FULLER Thank you sir! PROFF
Bespoke is very overrated and hence overpriced, the added quality isn't proportionally delivered to the increase in cost, tailoring existed before other options came to the scene, now it became a marketing exercise where the customer is paying for the high fixed costs and low output as the biggest portion of what you pay.
Given your argument, can you name any ready-made suit manufacturers that you believe rival the quality of true bespoke houses and therefore invalidate the price difference between the two? Perhaps even give provide their entry level pricing, I’d be curious to debate your point that bespoke isn’t worth its value.
@@matthewgales3057 I never said there isn't a difference however the difference doesn't justify the asking price, personally I use a set number of brands that suits my body and style and those are Zegna , Canali , Pal zileri , Lanvin and Corneliani , and on the office side I sometimes buy Boss to use for tougher business trips, I always buy on sale and at best I pay 1200 and very satisfied.
@@matthewgales3057 I can't speak for the OP, but I think he means that the tangible value differential between Bespoke and MTM is much smaller than the pricing differential. Bespoke often has better fabrics but places like SuitSupply are upping their game. There's no real point of "debate", just look. Bespoke is amazing though, for those with disposable money
Always enjoy your content Proff. I will be commissioning my first bespoke suit in a few weeks time, lots of notes taken from you!
