This is one of your best videos! Congrats on your collaboration! Early in my career (1990's), I wore suits everyday. Everything is so casual now. The last time I wore a suit was 2018 in court for my divorce hearing....LOL! Single dad with 100% custody of my kids so don't get invited to events where a suit is required. Hopefully that will change after I get them out of the house!

Thanks for your kind words, I do really like this video myself. But you are correct, it’s a much more casual world that we live in and COVID definitely did not help although things were already heading that direction way before that.

I know it's not the season for it, but I'd love to see you do a dedicated video on scarves. I feel like it's an element that can really elevate a guy's game but can be quite daunting (similar to pocket squares). Would love to hear of your favourite places to get nice scarves from too (outside of Drake's)

Curious if you have looked into trying Larimars shirts, Vlad? Seem like good value and a newer Styleforum affiliate as well. I have been meaning to give them a try.

I’m a fan of all those brands. The majority of my tie collection is from Shibumi and EG Cappelli and Aklasu for my grenadines.

Good information. Just a quick observation: what about a writing pen? Makes no sense to have a $1,500 outfit and use a $2 writing pen from Office Depot. A simple Mont Blanc roller would make for a nice touch. Everything else is on point. Good job and congrats on the tie collaboration. I'll buy one of your ties since I know the stripes are going the right way...LOL.

@olivercroft6529 Год назад

@kbrett2004 Год назад

I know the feeling. But I check in often on the main page as well as soon as I get an email alert. They run a lean operation with smaller margins to keep the prices competitive. They don't want to have leftover inventory to mark down. Honestly, I'm amazed how well they pivoted after COVID. Seems they are even stronger now.

@drzaius844 Год назад

Their dress shirts and pants are worth seeking out though.

@phillipj.moodie3077 Год назад

After the closing down pn many small businesses, after COVID, the small high quality Dry Cleaners have dissappeared, making it difficult to find one who really understands how to clean an expensive quality silk tie. Until two years ago I would use Collar Prewash, made by Colgate to very successfully spot clean my ties. While a modified version of Preen is still available, it is no longer hydrocarbon solvent based, so it is useless to spot clean either a tie or a suit. So, my simple question is, how do you maintain your ties and spot clean your suits. I wear a Suit with a wide range of silk ties seven days a week for work, and upgrade them on the weekend. Phil, Australia.

@v_r_ Год назад

What’s up, Phil? I must be pretty lucky because I’ve never had to clean my ties before as I’ve never gotten anything on them. I remember this happened a long time ago before I started wearing quality ties and I think that I ended up tossing it. Same goes with my suits, I haven’t had to get one cleaned in a while. I always tell guys to use a garment brush after wearing one and stay away from dry cleaners unless you really have a stain that requires professional help. I also have a steamer to keep them looking fresh.

It's funny how he's trying to show how you can look good on a budget, but the budget is $1,500 which is actually kinda accurate for buying higher quality items as mentioned (even though they add up to quite a lot more than $1500, and it can cost you more than $1000 to get a good quality suit alone. as well to actually have a wardrobe just one of any of these items is not really enough, that beautiful tie he chose if worn every 2 days stops impressing anyone, having a nice wardrobe is expensive...
