    Daniel is far from ordinary! I had the pleasure of meeting him about four years ago in Chicago. I was at a wedding and none of the guys in the party knew how to tie their bowties. Daniel George had created all the tuxedo’s for the wedding party. It was a Sunday and his office was closed but the service got in touch with him apparently en route to brunch. He postponed his brunch plans and arrived in front of the hotel in his Rolls-Royce with a buddy and the two tied all of our bowties and gallantly drove off. We still talk about it to this day. The humor and kindness was over the top. It was a real superhero moment!

      There’s about 500 TH-cam videos on how to tie a bow tie, but a bunch of grown men have to call a dude to come do it for them? 😅

    When I reach my target weight of 180 pounds, currently 188. I'm celebrating with a custom made suit. It's been a long hard journey but the finish line is tantalisingly close, as coming up 9 years ago I was over 300 pounds. So not far to go.

    Mr. George impressed me completely. He knows his work in and out to include materials and sizing. I never had a suit tailored from top to bottom so I can imagine how much detailing is required to ensure the suit is fitted to perfection.

    I was one of those guys who got his first bespoke suit from Daniel when he made the tux for my wedding. It changed my perspective on formalwear forever. Fewer pieces of higher quality is my mantra now. While the initial investment is higher (comparatively), you'll more than get that value back over time. You just wear a suit made for you differently than you would one off-the-rack. And, while he's clearly up on trends, he also does an amazing job at explaining the rules that stay evergreen. Daniel makes you feel like a VIP when you walk in. I promise you, he didn't turn the charm on for the camera. Working with Daniel, and the top-notch service of his team, is part of the experience. When I do plan on adding more staples to my formal wardrobe, they will be made by Daniel.

    Great video! I see Daniel to be very open and personable. This is a rare trait in bespoke tailors that you normally don't see. Part of buying a custom or bespoke suit is the experience. Is spending an afternoon talking about cloths, design, colors, etc. I can tell that is the experience that you had with Daniel. Something I learn: the two best friends you can have in your life: Your Tailor and Your Barber.

    John, what a great video! I am so impressed with Daniel George! He is the consummate professional, and his knowledge about making a custom suit is next level! I learned so much in this video! The attention to detail reminded me of shopping in European boutiques! I was really impressed with the entire process! This is definitely tailored clothing at its finest! Can you tell I’m excited? This process is so comprehensive, from the detailed measuring, fabric and lining selections, cap shoulders, functioning buttons, pockets, thick cuffs in the slacks, and the classic British aesthetic! Simply amazing! Daniel and his staff are to be commended for excellent service! I’m blown away!

  • @edsassler
    @edsassler ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow. I found this video because I’m a bike fitter (yes, bike fitting is a thing), and the most common comparison is getting a custom suit made. Everyone nods their head in understanding and agreement at that, assuming that everyone knows what it’s like. To say I’m not stylish is a huge understatement, I know nothing about having a custom suit made. The references to others in the fashion world went right over my head - to be expected. Then you got into the measuring bit and I was blown away. Asymmetry is a huge deal in bike fitting because you’re interfacing the human body to a symmetric machine. I’ve been bike fitting for 25 years, when I watch someone walk down the street I can guess at their injury history based on how they walk - I so wish I could turn that off. I’ve never considered how the suit falls on the shoulder or how buttons line up as a result of asymmetry. I am truly impressed by what I see.

    At the age of 24, my dad took me to his Italian tailor. Throughout my life, (I'm 63) I've only had made-to-measure suits... pants with cuffs, working buttons on the sleeves (aka surgeon cuffs), side vents and padded shoulders to offset my small build. Custom suits are expensive but they make you feel like a million bucks. And, all my suits were made by tradespeople in Montréal... no offshore work... fabric almost exclusively from England but sometimes, Italian. Very nice video although for a first made-to-measure suit, I might have gone with a polyvalent dark blue.

    When you wear a well fitting suit in a color that best "suits" you, others will react to you differently. You don't have to say one word and others will stand a bit straighter, clear their throat and think twice before they say anything to you. You may not pick up on this at first, but if you wear custom suits, you will definitely notice over time. Bravo! Great video.

The cost is much more however you are getting top notch service and quality plus you actually get to pick out how you want it customized in every detail which is awesome. Men's wear like this will last you a very longtime own a few of them myself as well even just customized sport jackets from my favorite mens wear store locally where I live that are awesome to deal with. It's a personal one on one experience that you really appreciate and for many men once you've done it this way,myself included you'll continue doing it this way. Have an awesome day and week ahead yourself.

I have not known before what to look for and what to ask for in changes to make things fit correctly. Now I know a lot more about the topic and have a better chance of being able to ask for the correct changes. I truly appreciate the knowledge learned here in these two videos.

    I only own a made to mesure navy suit that I paid under 800, and some supports jackets. This was fascinating. It's like building the man from the ground up. It must be a matter of your trust in his professionalism, attenrion to detail, and experience vs. his reputation and how in the future he will be at the top of a short list the next time you need buy even a cravat or weather you are buying a tuxedo for your wedding.
    I had no idea so much work went into it. It makes sense, for the cost, that you get something that expresses who you are as a man.

    I call his demeanor one of subtle understanding. This is someone who knows the value of fabric and drape, all the important aspects of the look and feel. I really like his approach and his accommodation. This totally sells this business is absolutely necessary when in this line of business. This guy is top drawer and you will not be disappointed. I only wish I had the means. Knowing about it and understanding it’s importance does not mean you have the means to incorporate it in your own situation. A book you may want to read is called “ You are what you wear”! Try to find this book and you will understand what he was saying to you on a different level! Try it!

    I'm impressed in many levels by his suits. I been fashion oriented from a young age and from my military and civilian career, I traveled extensively. So, I've got to experience fashion at an international level.
    What I love about
    Mr. Daniel George styling is that it transcends internationally and from your movement on the video. He more than understands the fabrics and the colour pallet to the individual. Also, very importantly how he analyzes your body type. All the that and more can be seen in your video. I glad I subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to part 2.

    Just realized I'd only given a thumbs up but no comment. This cat is interesting (entertaining the least). The detailed measurements though - wow! His passion really comes through in everything.

    Once you go bespoke, you won’t go back to “off the rack”. I started with made to measure and once I had my first custom suit I was hooked.

    This is a really cool video. Love the devices he uses to measure your back incline and slopes of shoulders. Had no idea these things existed, but totally makes sense. I think I'm more excited to see the finished product than you are. Thank you for sharing and congrats!

    Hi John, I would first like to say that I am a huge fan of your channel, even though I'm not even close to forty years old. I still however enjoy your advice and product reviews. My question is this, I have noticed from your videos that even as someone who went grey early on; and being somewhat lighter in complexion, you tend to wear lighter colors. Now I am neither grey or have a full of head hair, having gone bald in my early 20s. What advice would you have for someone preparing to make the transition at some point for adapting your style to match the changing of hair color.

    • @40OverFashion
      @40OverFashion  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Ryan! I actually wear dark colors most of the time and I have to tell myself to wear something lighter. With that said, the answer to your question is longer than I can comfortably cover here. The short answer is, incorporate more dark solid colors.

    I’ve out for a while , with work and other things . But this was one of your best yet ! I’m a big fan of fashion , growing up in large family who’s father was a preacher. And grand father was a deacon being dressed up was my moms and grand ma job and it kinda stuck . Then spending 20+ yrs in camouflage of some type. Has now given a longing to wear nice clothing. A fitted suit maaaan fills so good . So to see a video on how to buy a high end suit sooo nice good job !

    Amazing - I'm a hard to fit guy.. 44.5 chest, one hip higher up, so off the rack is a challenge, especially with alternations needed. Bespoke is only a dream ... Congrats and stay looking sharp. The question, larger guy here, what lapel and shirt collar should I go for?

    • @40OverFashion
      @40OverFashion  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Luis! Go for standard point collars with a moderate spread. Peak lapel may help with a visual "V" taper. Avoid skinny lapels.
