How a Blazer SHOULD Properly Fit 

Its crazy how much this channel has improved...

"from the dawn of the original gentleman" I fucking lost it there

Look at him now 😂 omg what a transformation

Just for anyone who might have questions of the fit of this jacket. This was part of a segment i did of shopping on a budget, this jacket only cost 30 bucks I believe and as you can tell...you get what you paid for lol. However all the major concepts are still there, but i will be doing an updated better filmed version of this video. Thanks!

This is how he looked

Wow jose, look at how far you've become now. So proud of you, thank you for your hardwork.

i use to be like you, all you gotta do is calm down and speak slower, and the clarity of the speech will come naturally by slowing down the narrative. Dont worry, because the audience have time for your videos, and be confident! keep up the good work man, really like the videos :) Channel will grow, trust me.

First of all, I really like these videos. However, I find jump cuts to be quite irritating and really highlight that there was an error. I preferred your older videos, with more fluid video and audio, even if it means there might be one or two mistakes in your narration. Keep up the good work.

Dude it's crazy how much you and the channel has changed from then to now.

Today is June 9, 2024, just a note, for sleeve alterations it will cost me $32 to $35.

I buy my sport coats and the re-seller's shop (thrift store). I buy all wool for winter... costs? $8.50. Some fit, some don't. The one I'm wearing now was made in Scotland. Fits great!

Who’s here in 2024?

Thanks, helpful video. Easy to understand. Now I know...gotta get these sleeves shortened a little. Cheers!

Is there any way 2 get away with a tad longer sleeve over the wrist. Maybe a way to sport the sleeve differently?

You were really young in this video Really good improvement Good job

Bro: your success is all about the 6 year+ hustle and consistent content production. I actually enjoyed this flashback because it shows how far you've evolved. Motivates me to start my own channel about health care transformation!

Whoever made that coat was a third-rate amateur. You've got way too much shoulder rumpling from the lapel to the sleeve cap. You should have a clean, straight line with no break in the shoulder. I respect your hustle though.

You Sir, are a credit to mankind!~ Love the tutorial!!! This is the kind of shit that should be taught in high school, man!

I am thinking blazer and suit coat need an extension part that works with zipper.

Wow I miss this version of you brotha. I will say the current style your rockin will eventually transition back to this hopefully for maturity sake. I can say that I'm happy your making great money for you and your family. If you ever get a chance reach back to your roots. Teach those kids that they will get older at some point. Lol

Lol this isn't Jose from now, this is such a great tranformation, great job Jose, you look now like 10x better! :)

You're doing well, don't mind the haters, good advice and well spoken. Just a tip, instead of cutting between clips, I suggest you fade in the new clips and audio. Keep up the good advice, looking handsome and well fitted.

All my suits and other clothes are tailored thanks to u guys.. keep up the good work bro..

Hey yoo ! I'm here to remind you your old self🔥😄

This was the first tmf video I ever watched

I understand that you gotta start somewhere.. This is not a blazer its a sport coat. Blazers have metal buttons and patch pockets and are usually worn as part of a uniform. They are single coloured unless showing the colours of the school/college/regiment as stripes.. Usually worn with white shirts and the striped school/regimental tie.

I bought a Blazer without watching this video but I already watched José's other videos. This guy gives you a common sense for fashion, that really helped me.

Good explanation of how a jacket should fit.

Of all the tips videos this is the best

Straight to the point , no nonsense. I learned something new

With do respect, the coat you are wearing is a sport coat because of the pattern. A blazer is a solid color. I do enjoy all of your videos. Keep up the great work. G Knox

I just bought a blazer at Burlington coat factory in joliet Illinois and the gentleman by the name of Henry which was a older gentlemen around his upper 50s did the same tests as you did about the cuff in at your behind length, the 3 finger space at the top bottom area and also about snipping the thread in the back bottom vents and about the shoulder. I was surprised at the dedication and how he made sure I looked sharp with my 1st blazer which at other stores was priced at $180 but was $85 bcf...great video

Very good video. I went out and bought a navy blazer and this video helped me pick the right fitting one.

Watching in 2018 and, damn, Jose has come a long way!!

I literally thought you were someone else, I'm not lying

Wish I would've known these tips n tricks sooner.

Congrats on 5 mil Ur at 4.99 right now

Old is gold👌💚

You've definitely gotten better bro

You improved so much.

Thanks for the advice.

Wow is this jose zuniga ?

As much as the content is good either my internet connection is bad or the video is poorly edited.

When i was a law enforcement officer we would purposely widen the blazers a bit so we could carry weapons/handcuffs etc. while properly concealing. It would be cool if you mentioned that in a new video, the fact that there are reasons why suits might be bigger than normal. (catered to law enforcement officers)

I love your ring, where can I get something like that. Nice video on blazers, thank you!

Really appreciate the job you do , very pro; Thanks

Who is here in 2020❤️

Can you provide your body type, as far height and weight and the size of the blazer you are wearing just to get a better grasp of the idea.

Damn bro , 8 years ago 😳

Loving these videos! They are amazing! Love your style!

I have the perfect blazer, yet the sleeves are too short. It's annoying. Can I get that tailored?

I didn’t know he could talk at a comfortable level after seeing his newer videos

Man, your vids have come a long way

Man you've evolved! Good basic tips though.

Can I wear navy blue blazer and white shirt with black chinos and navy blue floral pocket square with brown belt and shoes??

Who's watching this in 2020?😆

in what cases can you keep the blazer of a suit open? unbuttoned i mean. If you wearing the suit without a tie. I wore a suit for business last year and it looked extremely formal.

where did you get that Jacket from? it's really nice.

Tailoring the shoulder area is neither "impossible" nor "ridiculously" priced. I'm a professional seamstress outside of the Raleigh/Charlotte area. I charge $40 to narrow the shoulders, and $60 if I have to both narrow the shoulder and lengthen the sleeve. If you buy a good quality suit in a color or pattern that isn't trendy and dated, it's going to last you a decade. A properly tailored, basic suit is a great investment.

good advice

Watching in 2020

Thanks

are they not wearing blazers shorter now days? My sleeves are no issue I can have them tailored however I'm complexed about the length of it. The way you said "cuffing the bottom" is not critical enough. Should it come to my first knuckle, (fist) my 2nd knuckle or 3 knuckle (fingertip?)

I have a slight problem with my suit. I had it altered and it fits perfectly. I can fit three fingers between my stomach and my jacket. No more no less. Also my shoulders fit perfectly, but when i hug someone or sit down to eat my back feels somewhat constricted. Should I take it out a little bit more? I don't want it to look big on me.

What did you have to do to the sleeves? Where they too short?

Thank you for the great info.

Just want to point out that you're wearing a sport coat... not a blazer. Blazers are solid in color and have metallic-like buttons. They also never contain any pattern. Nevertheless, the iformation is accurate.

I dunnu why I learnt this from your video then yesterday I bought a tight one. At the store I thought it was fit, as I got home I figured out it was tight. How many of you are always deceived in stores?

Good one..

Cool video

What should be Blazer length for 5'7" height??

He says "Actual" and "Actually" too much.

Bro blue blazer with black trousers &blank shirt or white shirt

Nice blazer

Appreciate the video. Well done and thank you! :-)

Hi. If I send a picture of a tweed jacket, could you tell me if it's a good fit or too small please?

Hey Jose, i was just wondering how tall you were?

Lol you've come a long way

Sooo im actually quite thin/skinny. Do you think i'll be able to look good with a blazer that's not tailored or tailored?

i'm about to buy a blazer from amazon but all the sizes are m, s, l, xxl and so on I'm super confused because I have a blazer that has a size 46 not the s or m etc. Which size shoud i buy.

Teachingmen'sfashion you know the difference between you and the rest of these clowns critiquing you. You got off your ass and did what they been dreaming of doing for ten years now. Don't sweat these haters your hustle will pay off. If I were you I would spend more time rehearsing my videos that will cut down the edits.

that's a sport coat

He is wrong that the shouldets are impossible to tailor. There is a common procedure and it is called "Shorten the Collar" - it makes the shoulders narrower, not as wide. Ask your tailor about this. Costs as low as maybe $25.00

I find it impossible to get shoulders that fit but also a waist that's small enough.. Any suggestions?

I'm very visual person. May I suggest that you have more pictures focusing on what you're talking about instead of just talking and explaining?

Damn u changed 😂

This is not a blazer by the way... you gotta know the definition of a blazer vs a coat/jacket...

How tall are you? Because, i think short people want to have longer legs look to it andtall people kinda want to have a longer torso because most tall person has a longer leg.

You comment that people should avoid short blazers because it makes your torso seem shorter and you body disproportionate is not universal. I have a long torso with short legs. A shorter jacket looks better on me because the illusion of a shorter torso gives me more proportion.

What about the colour?

Is my buttom too prominent or is the blazer supposed to make my butt look bigger?

Watching this 12.2018.

Hello

Good luck finding one

JCPenney Blazer? (By JFerrar?)

if you can, please make a new video on this topic as this video is a bit irritating for the random and continuous cuts

Your shirt collar is too short vis a vis your tie knot. Jacket fit is acceptable but it's not a blazer.

I was waiting for product promotional part.. lol

The shoulder on your jacket it is not straight look at it, and also look at the front of your pants needs to be alter.

This isn't a blazer! It's a sport coat.
