i would prefere if you next time take the same pose in both outfits. 5:58 by looking straight in the left one youre showing a dominant pose. while youre in the right one look at the left one like : damn what a boss!! BUT i still have to say that even that pose looks great! (i go for hugo. i would only buy something like that one time and want no regret. i find that one the most awsome even while im someone who sits on his money.)
alpha m. Can you please do a video about self esteem? I feel like every time I go to the gym and see a beautiful girl I feel like I'm not worthy for love and not for happiness in general. It's really depressing and ruins any social connection I have with friends and family.
I prefer the Hugo Boss one. The suit supply one looks boxy and shiny and makes you appear like a heavier dude. Ill agree that the shoulder creasing isn’t ideal but overall the Hugo one looks nicer.
Shoulders and buttons apart, the Hugo Boss tux looks much better. It's definitely pricier but it makes you look like a million bucks which is not as much the case with the suit supply tux IMO. Cheers!
I totally agree with you. Shoulders were not good, also buttons were horrible, but so were also on the other suit. But overall Hugo Boss much better than the other.
The fabric is cleaner and nicer on the Hugo Boss, but the fit and cut is much better for suit supply. You would have to be a fairly skinny fella to make the HB look good. The SS is better on a normal human being and had a more classic look with the grosgrain lapels.
You dont know much about whats the most importaint in a suit, and its how the shoulders fit.The boss shoulders where totaly shit pissed even after two alterations. You can choose whatever fabric you want at suitsupply without spending alot more money. If the shoulders of everything is off, the shoulders must fit perfectly. The rest is easy to alter. Also boss suits mostly fit guys who do not lift. You have no buisness in commeting on mens suits.
PPL DON'T REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT LIKE A UHH YOU KNOW EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT WHERE YOU ORDER SHIT AND THEN YOU'RE DONE- IF YOU LOOK AT IT LIKE "OK WELL THIS SUIT I WILL BE WEARING FOR TRHE NEXT 5 YEARS AND YOU STRETCH OUT 1200 OVER 5 YEARS? THAT BECOMES ALMSOT IRRELEVANT AND YOU'RE W E A R I N G THE ITEM" SO TO ALMOST GO FROM LIKE SOME SHIT BRAND LIKE express OR joseph a bank (THE go choo of clothes) FROM LIKE $90 TO LETS SAY $800 INITIALLY LOOKS TOO MUCH BUT AGAIN OVER 5+ YEARS? IF YOU'RE WEARING THE SUIT ONCE A WEEK OVER 5 YEARS THEN IT'S LIKE ALMOST PENNIES-PER-WEAR NOW HAVING SAID THAT THIS 99 PERCENTER IS LITERALLY LITERALLY I HAVE TO GO FROM go choo TO 'flaccid gochu (BASICALLY MICROSCOPIC)' IN WEALTH COMAPRED TO ME 3,555,555 YEARS TO BREAKEVEN WITH MY WEALTH- HAVING SAID THAT YOU DON'T WANNA BE LIKE SOME poor minority SPENDING MONEY ON 5 GYM MEMBERSHIPS AND ALL SO HE AIN'T GOIN' TO NO FERRAGAMO OR LV
the suitsupply looked a bit better in the shoulder but i like the boss suit a bit better overall with the fabric and lapels and fit is it worth twice as much? If you got cash to blow and it your own wedding then id say it is
About a month ago I picked up an Armani tux at my local goodwill for $3.00. Fits me perfectly. Also picked up a vintage Piere Cardin tux for around the same price.
I know I may sound very classy, but you should wear a double or french cuff shirt with hidden front buttons or studs instead of a normal shirt, also a tuxedo is like a uniform, so a bow tie is preferred over a normal tie
Necktie, no waistcoast or cummerbund, barrel cuff shirt and the fit is kinda off. I get that it can happen with a more muscular build but alpha's jackets just always seem to be too tight.
Suit supply so far has been really well priced for the quality. Starting to really liking their styling and offerings. Would like to see how you think suit supply compares to a custom suit you purchased in the past
I love this kind of video, do other brand battles. About the battle, I think that for the quality/price aspect, SuitSupply wins, especially for the jacket that fits you perfectly. I think that with a bow tie and the suitsupply tux, you will look amazing. Great job
I think this video had the opposite effect on me, I've always been an advocate of the cheaper suit being indistinguishable from the most expensive ones, but that hugo boss suit looks a whole lot better than the other on in the side by side :')
yes, I agree. the first tux has nicer fabirc. I also enjoy it's lapel width better, as well at the contrast of its material to the rest of the jacket. I'm beginning to shop around for my upcoming wedding so I greatly appreciate this coincidentally well-timed video!
Alpha, I would love to see you do a video based on college men and advice tips for how they can be gentlemen around campus, at parties, in classes etc. I think there are a lot of people who would love to see that, I know I would
I like the Suit Supply one as well but I think that you should've taken in the midsection of the jacket to create that hourglass silhouette that the Hugo Boss one makes.
Hey Aaron, great video as always. In regards to the hugo boss one, you say the sleeves had to be taken up. When the sleeves of a any kind of jacket are too long for my arms, my tailor usually shortens it from the shoulder part. Yes, it is more work, and maybe more expensive but it looks way better because it looks like nothing has been done to it. Saludos. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Alpha- my first post on your video. I am a heart surgeon and have several suits of ranging from 500-2200$ (Zegna, Canali). I think Hugo Boss is a great brand but like you've shown I am not sure it's worth the money. I personally think the Hugo boss fits better here but I do like the suitsupply for the $$$. For a price range in between SS and HB check out Reiss- UK brand- their fit and quality is stupendous. I just bought a double breasted wool suit for 550$ on sale that is as good as Zegna suits. I am also similar size as you (155lb, 5'9'') - 36 chest, 30 waist. Thanks for the great work!!
I do like these types of battle videos, very well done Aaron! I actually would've gone with Hugo Boss, for the simple reason that I prefer nicer fabrics :) free alterations is nice, and I don't mind it.
Yea but only after a bunch of alteration, but it was free so who gives a shit but the suit supply was 700$ cheaper and some people may wear it better than him.
Suit Supply all the way. I highly recommend Suit Supply. I get more compliments on my suits from there than I can count. Their suits are between $600-$1200 and worth it. The styling, the staff, and tailoring are all in point. I'm fortunate to live close to one. Need Alpha to keep after them for a collaboration. Love the videos Alpha..
not a fan spending 90% of my salary on the suit, especially when i workout and my jacket size always changing and btw hugo tux looks much more smoother and highQ than SuitSupply
Love this style of video. Keep it up! One recommendation is a video about which brands have good fits for different builds. I’m just under 6’1 and weigh in around 165-170. Finding clothes that have extra length but keep the slim fit is really tough. Short guys have it way better! Thanks Alpha, been watching for around 5 years and love that you do. Keep it up!
The suit supply may be a better bang for your buck, but I think that is largely due to you being able to fit into it straight off the rack. I'm almost 6'6 with a 6'9 wingspan and it's literally impossible for me to fit into any jacket off the rack. I'm roughly a 45L in the body, but even the long (L) sleeves don't even get close to fitting me. Because of this, I only have 1 suit and 1 sport coat. The Brooks Brothers suit was $1,100 because I had to get the entire thing custom-made. Just some food for thought. Thanks for the incredible content and keep it up!
Alpha, serious question. When will you ditch the earrings? They may have looked good in the 1990's when you were in your early 20's but now in your 40's you should reconsider. You give great advice to men, but that is some advice for you. Otherwise, love everything about you!
he has acknowledged it and advised others not to wear earrings either.. but since he has been wearing them for so so long, it's like, yeah the personal touch
Because he can give general style advice for men who need it but sometimes you just gotta be yourself and break a couple "rules". We shouldn't all be completely homogenised
same as you, fit wise suitsupply but the fabric on the hugo boss one looks so much better that I think getting it properly and meticulously tailored is worthwhile
I just can't see how they can justify $1200 for a suit that is essentially identical to a $600 one, just stinks of pompous rip off to me 😒, suit supply all the way
I'm just saying that most guys only wear a suit maybe once to thrice a year, and you wear tuxedos even more rare than that. If your lifestyle requires you to dress formally often, then its a good investment, but it's not worth the money if you're rarely gonna wear a $1200 dollar Tux.
Is it just me or does the Hugo Boss suit looks so much better on him? Minor niggles not really noticeable which could have been resolved through further alterations but he looks miles better it it than than the Suit Supply. Having said that, it DEFINITELY isn't $600 better than Suit Supply tux.
Love the video alpha I go with the suit supply looks better the fit and to me the jacket gave that extra point to win over Hugo boss and do a HM AND JCPENNY !
Nav 1 yes this is perfect please aaron you have unclear fitness videos and its only 6 videos please do a full workout programme explained mon to sun also what you eat every day mon to sun

Like many others here, I find it bizarre that you find the Suitsupply better. For me, the moment I see the Hugo Boss I’m thinking ‘Smart!’ Also, the wide lapels on the Suitsupply looks tacky and reminds me of a vampire film or something. The shoulders on the Hugo Boss look fine. I don’t know what you are complaining about. It’s much better than the Suitsupply that has those annoying protruding things, that, again, make it look tacky by comparison. As so many have pointed out, the Hugo Boss suit looks as slick as anything, with that cool hourglass midsection, and the Suitsupply looks baggy on you. Perhaps you simply like that look but it looks inferior to me. The only thing that looks wrong on the Hugo Boss, at least the one fitted on you, is that your right sleeve is looking a tiny bit too long. I’m surprised you didn’t notice this when getting it fitted. Finally, you even admit yourself that the fabric on the Hugo Boss is superior. So there isn’t any competition. The only question is of price. I’d be inclined to bite the bullet.
That suit supply tux is actually really nice. The peak lapel looks so much better than the Boss notched lapel. With some alterations I'd take the Suit Supply.
If you went 1 or 2 more times to make it perfect, the HB would definetly win! Since you didn't go, it is not perfect yet and the SS fits better! Cost/Benefit = SS Best Looking = HB
Suit supply no doubt Aaron. Suit supply definitely challenges these bigger brands, I mean They both are phenomenal with product but IMO suit supply always delivers for a good coin.
I like the more balanced lapels of the SuitSupply jacket. With all the skinny lapels out there these broader ones although maybe a bit too wide are nice imo
okay as a tailor (and Dutchman), I admire suit supply's low price high quality selling strategy. then we have Hugo Boss... did well in the 80's and 90's, took a big risk going on the Asian market and failed. still they're saying they're the 'go to' when it comes to suits, I disagree! you can buy so many other brands which offer the same quality for a lower price (strellson, Tommy Hilfiger, cerruti 1881 and more). and some of my own thoughts: why the hell would you consider spending $1200,- on a off the rack tux from a has been brand instead of going to a tailor a get a great made to measure tux for the same price with all your own preferences in style and layout? I can get you a marvelous tux MTM for like $700,- and I know suit supply can get you that too.
MrMacca030 the samuelsohn stuff are good quality but the cuts less modern and fabric less nice. Unless you are a tailor such as yourself, it's almost worthwhile to buy suitsupply and then alter. I like Hugo Boss stuff, but only their higher end items. Their outlet or department store brands are nothing short of attrocious in the fabric and construction department. Still nicely cut. As well the HB material does look nice here, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a wool poly blend.
@Alpha M, I had a suit made by a CJ custom clothiers out of Memphis. A fellow church member told me about him. He makes suits for a lot of pro athletes. I paid $850 for it, but the quality doesn't match the price. On the flip side I had another suit made by a different tailor. I paid $400 dollars for it and the quality doesn't match either. It's wool and cashmere fabric. Custom lining and the whole 9. This guy is awesome. Both suits fit impeccably, So, I see your point. I get compliments on both suits. So, I see your point. "Once you go bespoke it's hard to buy off of the rack."
I know everyone hates on Mens Wearhouse (for good reason most of the time), but for that $1200 you could get a Joseph Abboud custom made tux which will fit you a heck of a lot better than either the Hugo Boss or the off the rack Suit Supply tux, and it's also made in the USA. The Suitsupply definitely fits you the best of the two though!
Despite the BIG price difference. I actually prefer the look of the Hugo Boss Tux. It seemed to fit better, despite some setbacks. Also, it looked like a $1200 tux from distance, as opposed to the Suitsupply one. Imo.
Do you guys want amazing suits and tuxedos? If you ever visit Turkey they make BEST Quality and super cheap for 100-200$ from local brands you can get very very nice everyday suits for work for around 300-500 $ you can get very high quality expensive suits specially tailored for you!
I wear suits every day when I'm working. Seven or eight suits, I buy one a year and don't really bother with the brand. What's important to me is that I feel confortable and confident. Another thing, I never pay full price. I shop in January after the X-mas holidays and always get 40-70% off!
I would go for the suit supply one right now because of my wallet. I am looking for something that fits proper, looks good and wont break the bank. Even though the fabric looked and probably felt remarkably better on the hugo boss. Having had more money, I would dish out for all the bells and whistles of a big name brand suit.
More brand battles would be great! A good practical concept to help viewers decide between brands when shopping for products of their own. Keep 'em coming!
YES ! Finally Alpha! I've been watching your videos for over 2 years and I'm kind of just getting tired of the tips videos. I wanna see something more original something like this! I want more emerging stuff. Tips...well everyone can just google them. Give us something more detailed with information. Grab a subject and talk from the heart! Tips are just cut-offed watered down advice. Also, this battle stuff is fantastic! hope to see more.
Mr Alpha Sir, I humbly respect your opinion and I do admire how you are not swayed by hurtful comments saying that you are wrong, when you werely sharing your perspective. On the contrary, I do believe that in this case, the Hugo Boss suit may not be 'better', but it is definitely more "alpha". I am confident that you too believe that quality of fabric can be distinguished even just by mere sight. In this case, the difference in quality of the fabric between the to suits is honestly quite inconspicuous. The Hugo Boss suit in the thumbnail was actually what attracted me to watch this video, and I didn't even notice the captions or the title. I have to say, quality is a lot more than just reliability and comfort. It transcends to the visual aesthetic factor as well, and I am pretty sure that as an alpha male, you knew that all along. As far as fit goes, all brands have different fits. That's why most people stick with a certain shop/brand for most of their clothes; because the brand has their fit. In this case, I think it is slightly unfair that you gave "suitsupply" an advantage because of their fit, because it is most likely that the average suitsupply suit fits you better than the regular Boss suit. Men's builds vary, and hence I feel that to compare the fitting of the suits from different brands is something subjective. Unless of course, a particular suit is sagging like curtains. Just wanted to share my thoughts, love the video and channel. Stay awesome Alpha 👌
Suit Supply definitely. The fit alone is spot on. Just gotta ask you, don't tuxes come with something like a band or sash around the waist. Love your work. Thanks. More power.
My Zegna Suit is probably one of my favorites! The quality and fit is next level...of course it cost about as much as both tuxedos in this video together, lol
I enjoyed your brand battle. Suit Supply all the way. You get a lot more for your money. I have 25 suits hanging in my closet and a majority of them are SS. However, Hugo Boss does make nice slim fit suit.
Loved it. More of these please! Personally, not a huge fan of the neck tie - bow tie and and dressy dress shirt would be better in my opinion. A lapel width somewhere between the two suits would be perfect.
I'm only 13 and I've bought multiple suits from suit supply and if anyone's wondering they can get really pricey but they're the best place for suits, tuxes, and jackets IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY THEY ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE
I work at The Men's Wearhouse here in IL. I can have you made a custom suit or tux, made in America, for half the cost of that Hugo Boss. Silk lined with all Italian fabrics.
I just bought a tux for my upcoming wedding from Indochino and was really happy with the results when it arrived. They had a great sale going on when I ordered it as well so only cost me $400. Not too shabby!
Two thumbs up for suitsupply the look of their tuxedo is much more of a classic look the lapels are definitely shaper cleaner lines and less trendy looking like the hugo boss and as for the satin trim around the waistline of the hugo boss trouser just another trendy aspect I definitely would select the suitsupply tuxedo over the not because of price alone but construction details make it a much better choice!
Here's a picture of the finished look... WITH bow tie and tux shirt instagram.com/p/BO-Q9lggp3h/?taken-by=aaronmarino
i would prefere if you next time take the same pose in both outfits. 5:58
by looking straight in the left one youre showing a dominant pose.
while youre in the right one look at the left one like : damn what a boss!!
BUT i still have to say that even that pose looks great!
(i go for hugo. i would only buy something like that one time and want no regret. i find that one the most awsome even while im someone who sits on his money.)
alpha m. Can you please do a video about self esteem? I feel like every time I go to the gym and see a beautiful girl I feel like I'm not worthy for love and not for happiness in general. It's really depressing and ruins any social connection I have with friends and family.
I LOVE this video idea. Do more direct comparisons of high end clothing and cheaper alternatives.
alpha m. Suit supply is the winner. Just got one for an event this past November. Couldn't be happier, and you can't beat the price.
alpha m. dude your fucking amazing and funny and you have a nice personality 🖒🖒🖒🖒
I prefer the Hugo Boss one. The suit supply one looks boxy and shiny and makes you appear like a heavier dude. Ill agree that the shoulder creasing isn’t ideal but overall the Hugo one looks nicer.
Agreed
Nope
because they are military disgner for GERMANY in ww2 so they appear tough
Why aren't you wearing a bow tie with a tux? A tuxedo is evening wear, you don't wear a normal tie with that.
SeverMetal black tie much?
black tie means tuxedo. It's opposed to white tie, i.e. a suite with a tailcoat.
look at his Insta...there he is wearing a bowtie with tux in a wedding pic
I wore a bow tie! instagram.com/p/BO-Q9lggp3h/?taken-by=aaronmarino
How could I've doubted you. Looking sharp!
Not watched this yet but there is no way in hell he'll let hugo boss win😂
Shoulders and buttons apart, the Hugo Boss tux looks much better. It's definitely pricier but it makes you look like a million bucks which is not as much the case with the suit supply tux IMO. Cheers!
I totally agree with you. Shoulders were not good, also buttons were horrible, but so were also on the other suit. But overall Hugo Boss much better than the other.
No offence man. But the pull around the waist, the skinny lapel make Hugo Boss suit look cheap.
The fabric is cleaner and nicer on the Hugo Boss, but the fit and cut is much better for suit supply. You would have to be a fairly skinny fella to make the HB look good. The SS is better on a normal human being and had a more classic look with the grosgrain lapels.
You dont know much about whats the most importaint in a suit, and its how the shoulders fit.The boss shoulders where totaly shit pissed even after two alterations. You can choose whatever fabric you want at suitsupply without spending alot more money. If the shoulders of everything is off, the shoulders must fit perfectly. The rest is easy to alter. Also boss suits mostly fit guys who do not lift. You have no buisness in commeting on mens suits.
PPL DON'T REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT LIKE A UHH YOU KNOW EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT WHERE YOU ORDER SHIT AND THEN YOU'RE DONE- IF YOU LOOK AT IT LIKE "OK WELL THIS SUIT I WILL BE WEARING FOR TRHE NEXT 5 YEARS AND YOU STRETCH OUT 1200 OVER 5 YEARS? THAT BECOMES ALMSOT IRRELEVANT AND YOU'RE W E A R I N G THE ITEM" SO TO ALMOST GO FROM LIKE SOME SHIT BRAND LIKE express OR joseph a bank (THE go choo of clothes) FROM LIKE $90 TO LETS SAY $800 INITIALLY LOOKS TOO MUCH BUT AGAIN OVER 5+ YEARS? IF YOU'RE WEARING THE SUIT ONCE A WEEK OVER 5 YEARS THEN IT'S LIKE ALMOST PENNIES-PER-WEAR

"You don't need to spend a lot of money" both suits each cost more than my car
John Samuels u must have a shit car then
bosh trew So what if he does? I drive a jag now, but I used to drive an 89 cavalier. Leave the man alone.
bosh trew It is a 16 year old Peugeot 206. I am only 17 though so I can't afford anything especially with the insurance being over £2k
how does it feel driving a shitbox?
John Samuels A car is a car dude 👊 as long as you can run mofos like Bosh over with it
Hugo boss looks better... the tuxedo from the suit supply is not tapered properly on the waist and looks a little baggy
and not to mention the lapel is also better in the Hugo boss tuxedo
Rahul yadav
I absolutely dosagree with both of your opinions.
Rahul yadav you choose what type of lapel you want
but hugo boss lapels r really thin and hence it looks bad...
The Hugo Boss is too small, you can see it pop out in the chest area.
The Hugo boss shoulders are making my eye twitch.
the suitsupply looked a bit better in the shoulder but i like the boss suit a bit better overall with the fabric and lapels and fit is it worth twice as much? If you got cash to blow and it your own wedding then id say it is
jeppep95
no it's not. Absolutely not.
UrbanDanger !
Suitsupply was just slightly less slim in the chest, but the big issue was the wide lapels... they're a bit ugly. Too much width.
Hugo Boss is baddass. Whats more badass then a brand that Hitler approved his army to wear?
LMFAMLORMOFAMLLOL!!!!!!!!!!
Cristian Perez still Nazi company
Go agrade and spend an extra 600 dólares then
I will never wear anything from Hugo Boss. Outfitting the SS is a deal breaker.
Jay Hails I don't think Hugo Boss is alive anymore. I just really can't see why that's still relevant.
I definitely would love to see more brand battles!! Can we get one on dress shoes especially double monks since they're your favorite!
You are seriously the most real, honest and motivating person I have ever subscribed to. Thanks my man.
About a month ago I picked up an Armani tux at my local goodwill for $3.00. Fits me perfectly. Also picked up a vintage Piere Cardin tux for around the same price.
I love these type of videos because they not only help us on deciding which to choose from, but they help educate us when going out and buying stuffs.
i would never ever spend $1200 on a suit that is not a 100% fit
well like he said he was forced to because of the wedding.
blackknightkanos he could have just rented a tux
Rich people don't rent tuxs lol
Renting a tux is how to get an even more sloppy fit. Given Aaron's professional career I'm surprised this was the first time he bought a tux.
I know I may sound very classy, but you should wear a double or french cuff shirt with hidden front buttons or studs instead of a normal shirt, also a tuxedo is like a uniform, so a bow tie is preferred over a normal tie
tux with a necktie? why Alpha why?
Was looking for this comment, thank you!
Necktie, no waistcoast or cummerbund, barrel cuff shirt and the fit is kinda off. I get that it can happen with a more muscular build but alpha's jackets just always seem to be too tight.
Víťa Růžička he probably didn't pick it out. remember this was for a friend's wedding. the groom probably picked out the style
Nothing wrong with a long tie tuxedo, but you MUST wear it with a matching color vest and french cuff shirt
Probably because he was at his office where he doesn't have his entire collection of clothes.
Suit supply so far has been really well priced for the quality. Starting to really liking their styling and offerings. Would like to see how you think suit supply compares to a custom suit you purchased in the past
I love this kind of video, do other brand battles.
About the battle, I think that for the quality/price aspect, SuitSupply wins, especially for the jacket that fits you perfectly.
I think that with a bow tie and the suitsupply tux, you will look amazing. Great job
MORE OF THIS!
Brand / clothing battles is a great idea.
I'd love to see Tom Ford vs RL Purple Lapel
I think this video had the opposite effect on me, I've always been an advocate of the cheaper suit being indistinguishable from the most expensive ones, but that hugo boss suit looks a whole lot better than the other on in the side by side :')

yes, I agree. the first tux has nicer fabirc. I also enjoy it's lapel width better, as well at the contrast of its material to the rest of the jacket. I'm beginning to shop around for my upcoming wedding so I greatly appreciate this coincidentally well-timed video!

Keep these compare/contrast videos coming... you are the reason I own 2 Havana Suits from SuitSupply! I love their Suits now!!! Thanks Aaron!
Suitsupply's jacket and Hugo Boss' pants :))
OCD warning! xD
Loved the point of this video... Its not about the name on the suit, its about YOU. Be in CHARGE of your look, know what you want and look for it!
Alpha, I would love to see you do a video based on college men and advice tips for how they can be gentlemen around campus, at parties, in classes etc. I think there are a lot of people who would love to see that, I know I would
I like the Suit Supply one as well but I think that you should've taken in the midsection of the jacket to create that hourglass silhouette that the Hugo Boss one makes.
Hey Aaron, great video as always. In regards to the hugo boss one, you say the sleeves had to be taken up. When the sleeves of a any kind of jacket are too long for my arms, my tailor usually shortens it from the shoulder part. Yes, it is more work, and maybe more expensive but it looks way better because it looks like nothing has been done to it. Saludos. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I've had nothing but good experiences with suitsupply and find the fits to be damn near perfect.
Oh oh... Aaron! Wrong shirt! A tie is a must a neck tie a no go!
Be calm... I wore a bow tie and the proper shirt! instagram.com/p/BO-Q9lggp3h/?taken-by=aaronmarino
alpha m. 👌🏻😘😉
Chilly Milly he was comparing the tux jacket and trousers, not the black tie dress codes
Alpha- my first post on your video. I am a heart surgeon and have several suits of ranging from 500-2200$ (Zegna, Canali). I think Hugo Boss is a great brand but like you've shown I am not sure it's worth the money. I personally think the Hugo boss fits better here but I do like the suitsupply for the $$$. For a price range in between SS and HB check out Reiss- UK brand- their fit and quality is stupendous. I just bought a double breasted wool suit for 550$ on sale that is as good as Zegna suits. I am also similar size as you (155lb, 5'9'') - 36 chest, 30 waist. Thanks for the great work!!
I do like these types of battle videos, very well done Aaron! I actually would've gone with Hugo Boss, for the simple reason that I prefer nicer fabrics :) free alterations is nice, and I don't mind it.
I don't say this about most channels but I actually like this guys videos.
Anyone else think that the Hugo Boss suit fitted better?
RedMan ya that one pointy shoulder looked great on him
Yea but only after a bunch of alteration, but it was free so who gives a shit but the suit supply was 700$ cheaper and some people may wear it better than him.
Even after the alteration the Suit Supply looked far better fitting
Suit Supply all the way. I highly recommend Suit Supply. I get more compliments on my suits from there than I can count. Their suits are between $600-$1200 and worth it. The styling, the staff, and tailoring are all in point. I'm fortunate to live close to one. Need Alpha to keep after them for a collaboration. Love the videos Alpha..
not a fan spending 90% of my salary on the suit, especially when i workout and my jacket size always changing and btw hugo tux looks much more smoother and highQ than SuitSupply
Love this style of video. Keep it up! One recommendation is a video about which brands have good fits for different builds. I’m just under 6’1 and weigh in around 165-170. Finding clothes that have extra length but keep the slim fit is really tough. Short guys have it way better! Thanks Alpha, been watching for around 5 years and love that you do. Keep it up!
I like the Hugo Boss more honestly, larger lapels don't look so good IMO
The suit supply may be a better bang for your buck, but I think that is largely due to you being able to fit into it straight off the rack. I'm almost 6'6 with a 6'9 wingspan and it's literally impossible for me to fit into any jacket off the rack. I'm roughly a 45L in the body, but even the long (L) sleeves don't even get close to fitting me. Because of this, I only have 1 suit and 1 sport coat. The Brooks Brothers suit was $1,100 because I had to get the entire thing custom-made. Just some food for thought. Thanks for the incredible content and keep it up!
Alpha, serious question.
When will you ditch the earrings? They may have looked good in the 1990's when you were in your early 20's but now in your 40's you should reconsider. You give great advice to men, but that is some advice for you. Otherwise, love everything about you!
shelleyinthecity he definitely still rocks the double ear-rings.
Keep the earrings....They look great.:)
The earrings are his personal touch.
he has acknowledged it and advised others not to wear earrings either.. but since he has been wearing them for so so long, it's like, yeah the personal touch
Because he can give general style advice for men who need it but sometimes you just gotta be yourself and break a couple "rules". We shouldn't all be completely homogenised
same as you, fit wise suitsupply but the fabric on the hugo boss one looks so much better that I think getting it properly and meticulously tailored is worthwhile
I just can't see how they can justify $1200 for a suit that is essentially identical to a $600 one, just stinks of pompous rip off to me 😒, suit supply all the way
Yah and you're probably only gonna wear it once or twice in your whole life, you could get so much more practical things for $1200.
They really are not "essentially identical", you are either blind, have never worn expensive clothes, or both
I'm just saying that most guys only wear a suit maybe once to thrice a year, and you wear tuxedos even more rare than that. If your lifestyle requires you to dress formally often, then its a good investment, but it's not worth the money if you're rarely gonna wear a $1200 dollar Tux.
adam o'neill just get suit supply suit adjusted by a Taylor.
and suit supply one probably better made too. I have heard of Boss fused jackets smh!
You looked great in the Hugo boss suit. I'm bias I'm a big fan of Hugo boss IMO it just looked more tailored. You did a great job on the comparisons!
I like the hugo boss tux better. The lapel on the suit supply tux looks huge and a bit too curved.
For how often a tux is worn, suit supply seems to be a no brainer. Keep up the good work Alpha!
I personally think Suit Supply has the clear advantage with the tuxedos
Really struggling to get past the wearing of a tie with a tux 😭😭
Is it just me or does the Hugo Boss suit looks so much better on him? Minor niggles not really noticeable which could have been resolved through further alterations but he looks miles better it it than than the Suit Supply. Having said that, it DEFINITELY isn't $600 better than Suit Supply tux.
Love the video alpha I go with the suit supply looks better the fit and to me the jacket gave that extra point to win over Hugo boss and do a HM AND JCPENNY !

I agree with you when it comes to the Hugo boss' suit details but it fits much better. It makes you taller and more elegant
Like many others here, I find it bizarre that you find the Suitsupply better. For me, the moment I see the Hugo Boss I’m thinking ‘Smart!’ Also, the wide lapels on the Suitsupply looks tacky and reminds me of a vampire film or something. The shoulders on the Hugo Boss look fine. I don’t know what you are complaining about. It’s much better than the Suitsupply that has those annoying protruding things, that, again, make it look tacky by comparison. As so many have pointed out, the Hugo Boss suit looks as slick as anything, with that cool hourglass midsection, and the Suitsupply looks baggy on you. Perhaps you simply like that look but it looks inferior to me. The only thing that looks wrong on the Hugo Boss, at least the one fitted on you, is that your right sleeve is looking a tiny bit too long. I’m surprised you didn’t notice this when getting it fitted. Finally, you even admit yourself that the fabric on the Hugo Boss is superior. So there isn’t any competition. The only question is of price. I’d be inclined to bite the bullet.
Finally an honest helpful video!!! Suit supply all the way! Congratulations on your return to being a good content TH-camr!!!
Hugo Boss, I didn't like the shine the suit supply tux gave off, seemed informal.
That suit supply tux is actually really nice. The peak lapel looks so much better than the Boss notched lapel. With some alterations I'd take the Suit Supply.
If you went 1 or 2 more times to make it perfect, the HB would definetly win!
Since you didn't go, it is not perfect yet and the SS fits better!
Cost/Benefit = SS
Best Looking = HB
Suit supply no doubt Aaron. Suit supply definitely challenges these bigger brands, I mean They both are phenomenal with product but IMO suit supply always delivers for a good coin.
Hugo Boss looks sharper, more mature, high quality. The suit supply looks like a modern, low cost/budget suit.
I like the more balanced lapels of the SuitSupply jacket. With all the skinny lapels out there these broader ones although maybe a bit too wide are nice imo
I dont know why but the hugo boss one looks a loooooot better
The Second tux, & with a bow tie...good evening Mr Bond!....looks very smart.
okay as a tailor (and Dutchman), I admire suit supply's low price high quality selling strategy. then we have Hugo Boss... did well in the 80's and 90's, took a big risk going on the Asian market and failed. still they're saying they're the 'go to' when it comes to suits, I disagree! you can buy so many other brands which offer the same quality for a lower price (strellson, Tommy Hilfiger, cerruti 1881 and more). and some of my own thoughts: why the hell would you consider spending $1200,- on a off the rack tux from a has been brand instead of going to a tailor a get a great made to measure tux for the same price with all your own preferences in style and layout? I can get you a marvelous tux MTM for like $700,- and I know suit supply can get you that too.
MrMacca030 the samuelsohn stuff are good quality but the cuts less modern and fabric less nice. Unless you are a tailor such as yourself, it's almost worthwhile to buy suitsupply and then alter.
I like Hugo Boss stuff, but only their higher end items. Their outlet or department store brands are nothing short of attrocious in the fabric and construction department. Still nicely cut.
As well the HB material does look nice here, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a wool poly blend.
@Alpha M, I had a suit made by a CJ custom clothiers out of Memphis. A fellow church member told me about him. He makes suits for a lot of pro athletes. I paid $850 for it, but the quality doesn't match the price. On the flip side I had another suit made by a different tailor. I paid $400 dollars for it and the quality doesn't match either. It's wool and cashmere fabric. Custom lining and the whole 9. This guy is awesome. Both suits fit impeccably, So, I see your point. I get compliments on both suits. So, I see your point. "Once you go bespoke it's hard to buy off of the rack."
I would rent tuxedo if i had to wear it only once.
I know everyone hates on Mens Wearhouse (for good reason most of the time), but for that $1200 you could get a Joseph Abboud custom made tux which will fit you a heck of a lot better than either the Hugo Boss or the off the rack Suit Supply tux, and it's also made in the USA. The Suitsupply definitely fits you the best of the two though!
Here i am rocking my 300$ suit.
Despite the BIG price difference.
I actually prefer the look of the Hugo Boss Tux. It seemed to fit better, despite some setbacks.
Also, it looked like a $1200 tux from distance, as opposed to the Suitsupply one. Imo.
Do you guys want amazing suits and tuxedos? If you ever visit Turkey they make BEST Quality and super cheap for 100-200$ from local brands you can get very very nice everyday suits for work for around 300-500 $ you can get very high quality expensive suits specially tailored for you!
honeybobo i have a large cocko that's how suit supply is running their business 😅
I wear suits every day when I'm working. Seven or eight suits, I buy one a year and don't really bother with the brand. What's important to me is that I feel confortable and confident. Another thing, I never pay full price. I shop in January after the X-mas holidays and always get 40-70% off!
Hugo Boss for sure
Two of my Favorite Brands! Good work on the video buddy.
Awesome video. I completely agree that different tuxedos look and feel different.
I would go for the suit supply one right now because of my wallet. I am looking for something that fits proper, looks good and wont break the bank. Even though the fabric looked and probably felt remarkably better on the hugo boss. Having had more money, I would dish out for all the bells and whistles of a big name brand suit.
Just based in quality Hugo boss wins by Mile , it looked tuxedo while suit supply looked like a suit jacket with satan band lapel posing as a tuxedo
More brand battles would be great! A good practical concept to help viewers decide between brands when shopping for products of their own. Keep 'em coming!
I like the fabric/look of the fabric of the Hugo Boss tux but clearly the Suit Supply tux jacket fits you a lot better.
YES ! Finally Alpha! I've been watching your videos for over 2 years and I'm kind of just getting tired of the tips videos. I wanna see something more original something like this! I want more emerging stuff. Tips...well everyone can just google them. Give us something more detailed with information. Grab a subject and talk from the heart! Tips are just cut-offed watered down advice. Also, this battle stuff is fantastic! hope to see more.
Bought the navy blue suitsupply tux package for my wedding. Looked great.
Great vid buddy. I honestly likes the Hugo Boss more, it is slimmer on the waist and looked overall better. My opinion of course .
Mr Alpha Sir, I humbly respect your opinion and I do admire how you are not swayed by hurtful comments saying that you are wrong, when you werely sharing your perspective.
On the contrary, I do believe that in this case, the Hugo Boss suit may not be 'better', but it is definitely more "alpha". I am confident that you too believe that quality of fabric can be distinguished even just by mere sight. In this case, the difference in quality of the fabric between the to suits is honestly quite inconspicuous. The Hugo Boss suit in the thumbnail was actually what attracted me to watch this video, and I didn't even notice the captions or the title. I have to say, quality is a lot more than just reliability and comfort. It transcends to the visual aesthetic factor as well, and I am pretty sure that as an alpha male, you knew that all along.
As far as fit goes, all brands have different fits. That's why most people stick with a certain shop/brand for most of their clothes; because the brand has their fit. In this case, I think it is slightly unfair that you gave "suitsupply" an advantage because of their fit, because it is most likely that the average suitsupply suit fits you better than the regular Boss suit. Men's builds vary, and hence I feel that to compare the fitting of the suits from different brands is something subjective. Unless of course, a particular suit is sagging like curtains.
Just wanted to share my thoughts, love the video and channel. Stay awesome Alpha 👌
Suit Supply definitely. The fit alone is spot on.
Just gotta ask you, don't tuxes come with something like a band or sash around the waist.
Love your work.
Thanks.
More power.
Just buy both! You can use the Hugo Boss pants and the Suitsupply jacket.
I like the comparisons between brands, particularly the ones comparing high end designers to see if they're really worth it.
zegna, fits me well, amazing cloth quality and free/less expensive alterations with saks.
My Zegna Suit is probably one of my favorites! The quality and fit is next level...of course it cost about as much as both tuxedos in this video together, lol
I really like the brand battle idea! Kinda catchy and original!
I enjoyed your brand battle. Suit Supply all the way. You get a lot more for your money. I have 25 suits hanging in my closet and a majority of them are SS. However, Hugo Boss does make nice slim fit suit.
Loved it. More of these please!
Personally, not a huge fan of the neck tie - bow tie and and dressy dress shirt would be better in my opinion.
A lapel width somewhere between the two suits would be perfect.
I just watched a whole video of something I can't afford anyways but still liked it x) Thanks Alpha!
I'm only 13 and I've bought multiple suits from suit supply and if anyone's wondering they can get really pricey but they're the best place for suits, tuxes, and jackets IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY THEY ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE
I work at The Men's Wearhouse here in IL. I can have you made a custom suit or tux, made in America, for half the cost of that Hugo Boss. Silk lined with all Italian fabrics.
I just bought a tux for my upcoming wedding from Indochino and was really happy with the results when it arrived. They had a great sale going on when I ordered it as well so only cost me $400. Not too shabby!
Two thumbs up for suitsupply the look of their tuxedo is much more of a classic look the lapels are definitely shaper cleaner lines and less trendy looking like the hugo boss and as for the satin trim around the waistline of the hugo boss trouser just another trendy aspect I definitely would select the suitsupply tuxedo over the not because of price alone but construction details make it a much better choice!
I liked this video. I doubt I would have noticed the details with the HB tux..and they would have stepped all over me. Thanks for the upload.
IMO your more passionate in this than your sponsored videos. Thanks for the share.
I've got all my suits from raymond,
This brand is a complete answer to all queries, you can get the best fabrics in the world, and the best tailoring.
