00:00 Suit Mistakes Introduction
We believe that wearing a suit is a great way to make a good first impression, feel more confident about yourself, and generally put your best foot forward in various situations. With that said, though, a suit can be tricky to wear well.
Most men will likely have the highest amount of experience with ready-to-wear suits, so we’ll start there.
02:12 RTW Mistakes: 1. Leaving In The Stitching
04:19 2. Leaving On The Tags
05:37 3. Valuing Brand Name Over The Style & Fit
06:53 4. Valuing Fabric Or Construction Over Style & Fit
08:53 5. Believing No Alterations Will Be Necessary
This section will cover made-to-order suits such as those that can be made with Suitsupply online create-your-own tool and also made-to-measure suits where your measurements are input into a database, and an existing pattern is altered based on those measurements.
12:08 Custom Mistakes: 6. Too Much Choice!
13:05 7. Not Following Online Measurement Guides
15:07 8. Expecting a Perfect Fit
Let’s move up the sartorial ladder again and discuss mistakes related to bespoke suits.
16:37 Bespoke Mistakes: 9. Not Listening To Your Tailor
18:07 10. Standing Unnaturally When Being Measured
19:27 11. Sticking With Just One Tailor For Everything
20:46 WORST: 12. Feeling Superior Because of Your Suit
Have you committed one or more of the suit mistakes or have seen someone do so? What did you think of your or their look? Let us know in the comments section!

I sewed my own sports jacket and it took me 40 hours! The fit around the chest and waist is almost perfect in my opinion, though perhaps a bit tight. The arms are way too short, but this one I made was a prototype out of polyester fabric with rayon lining, so full synthetic. The @Gentleman’s Gazette was a big inspiration for the project and I wanted to thank y’all for starting my journey into menswear. I’m 17 years old, and I now have a capsule wardrobe so I can look fresh for the upcoming school year. Thanks!

Yeah, i saw two idiots at a wedding with the sleeve tags on. Someone keenly pointed out that they were going to likely return the suit after the wedding. I knew a girl who worked at a department store and said people return clothes all the time with deodorant stains and say they never wore it. Class acts!

@Captain Mushroom Never claimed to be a gentleman. Just noting the behavior of cheapskates and grifters. They are not my peers as my peers don't behave that way. There is a plethora of affordable clothing options today. There is no need for that type dishonorable behavior that hurts manufactures, retailers, and the unwitting next customer that buys their selfishly spoiled garment's.

You know I wish that they brought suits back for regular working men especially in England because I love to spread the message that suits are for everyone and if you look at the history of it the workers would have the suits and flat caps I just prefer wide legged trousers and wide lapels aswell as vintage ties as they have more interesting patterns if some company made suits that way now and at a good price with proper long waterproof overcoats sheepskin jackets leather jackets then I'd bloody well get down that shop right away

I guess that the mistakes described here are tailored to the US. Indeed, I have never ever seen (in France) a shop sale ready to wear costumes not suggest adaptations. Neither have I seen construction stitching. As for the tags, I am not as sure but most of the time, they are inside the costume so leaving them is less of a problem. But I always remove them nonetheless.

@cicolasnage5684 2 года назад

I really like these videos but watching them is bitter sweet for me. I was always an overweight chap, and always wanted to wear a nice, tailor cut suit but on an overweight man it just does not look as debonair as it does on one who is in shape. I lost weight overtime and after a spell I owned a plethora of ties, cuff links and pockets squares; and had 30 sports coats of lively colors and fabrics as well as 7 suits. Some formal and some outrageous but I loved them and the reactions I got while I was a man about town. unfortunately I’ve had a many of tragedy and unfortunate incidents happen and I’ve gained all the weight back. It’s sad because all of these tips I followed to the letter and found that a lot of these methods I learned on my own. I think these videos are fantastic to teach people that have no clue find their way to dress properly. Myself? Very sad I can no longer dress like this. Cheers fellows please don’t judge me to harshly.

13. Wearing an uncomfortable suit just because it looks good. Remember that you'll have it on all day! I remember an otherwise-off-the-rack shop where all the sleeves and legs were unhemmed, as that would always be adjusted to fit at the time of sale. (They could do other alterations too.)

About sleeve length, I've bought and sold a large number of vintage jackets over the years and the most common measurement I see on Ebay is "shoulder seam to cuff" (which this video shows). Oddly the second-most common measurement I see is inner sleeve from armpit to cuff, which I think is useless, because two jackets with identical sleeve-lengths will have different "armpit to cuff" measurements according to how long or short the armhole oval is.

Fun nerd fact for anyone who's seen the Good Omens TV show - Gabriel's jacket still has the vent stitching in, which given the level of detail that production had, was clearly a deliberate move by the Wardrobe Department to show that the show's douchiest angel didn't have a clue about the one thing he said he liked about humanity. As a fashion aficionado, I noticed and had a giggle.

@CerxFouquet9 10 месяцев назад

I agree with 12 but one thing that just bothers me... is when it's not worn proper. I don't care if it's a 100dollar suit or a bespoke - I see so many people wearing ill-fitted suits that their hems are practically sweeping the floor, and their back pockets stretched out with wallet, phone and some towel(not a kerchief) to dab sweat. I don't think I'm "above" them, but I don't feel respect. Wear what you want but my only ask is, wear it properly.

@JonathanNelson-nelsonj3 11 месяцев назад

I ordered a custom suit from Jos. A Bank a few years ago. I have a large belly but from the belt down I am fairly trim. I was really annoyed when they had to order the pants based on the jacket size. They told me they would tailor the pants to fit when it came in but it seemed to me that making the pants fit from the beginning would have been better. They told me they had to select an existing pattern, that a computer CNC machine would then cut out the pieces and they would be sown together. Well, if they are cutting it out with a computer making two selections, one for the jacket and one for the pants, is not that much more difficult. I have had them tailor those pants three times since I picked it up and I still don't feel like they fit right. It has annoyed me for years. Next time I get a custom suit I will make sure they select will select the initial pattern separately for each. (In addition I made a poor choice when it came to the length of the pant hem. While they recommended a shorter length during the initial fitting I knew at the time I would not like it. I should have trusted myself to know what I needed.)

@@arishokqunari1290 The only way that he “hides” his American origin is that he uses a bit more precise diction than most, but not as overly distinct as the Caribbean accent of Geoffrey Holder or James Earl Jones. The Transatlantic accent is non-rhotic like RP, so he clearly does not speak anything like that.

@Rustman80 2 года назад

They're from Minnesota (as am I). Putting aside the over the top stereotypical accent of the movie Fargo, the truth is that the people from the northern center of the US (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Dakotas, etc) tend to have the most neutral speech in the country and, within the states, we're generally perceived as not having a regional accent. If one understands American English at all, he or she probably going to understand people from the midwest first before any other part of the country.

@noneofyourbusiness7094 2 года назад

Nicer suits have a "athletic cut" option just like dress shirts or jeans. It may cost a little more, but the fit is more comfortable and very flattering. No tight shoulders, chest, sleeves, or thighs. The athletic cut allows for freedom of movement that is tailored to someone who lifts weights, without being too tight or restrictive.

@walterfoyt5985 2 месяца назад

One mistake most men make that you failed to mention is wearing a belt with a suit especially a three piece suit. With a suit you should have either side adjusters or wear braces, but no clip on suspenders, which make you look like a schoolboy.

Flower, tie, and shirt combo is spot on, young man. The slick hair style is a bit old for you, though.

The sleeves on that SuitSupply video look at least 1cm too short. I bought trousers in their Berlin store. They need to be shortened. When I returned to pick them up, it was obvious that the tailor didn't even understand what the reinforcement band inside the hem was for. He had put it - and not straight, but wavy - at least 2-3mm **higher** than the hem, instead of the customary 0.5-1.0mm **below** the hem. I rejected the item. The gave me the trousers and refunded half their cost, and 100% of the alteration cost. I had them properly hemmed at my regular tailor

Search for one in the more upmarket areas of your city ( usually where the professional expat class lives ).
