I'll agree that his shirt sleeves may be a tad long but the suit sleeves are where he like them to be. It's all personal preference when it comes to tailoring. -G
Definitely, its way to tight in the waist, too short, the sleeves are too short and the shoulders are showing the beginnings of bunching (jacket is too damn small!).
Not to mention the buttoning point is ridiculously high, the jacket is too short and pants too tight in the thigh. These guys don't have a very good understanding of fit or proportion so it's hard to take their advice seriously. But their videos are well made if nothing else.
Dude this video has honestly been the least awkward videos I've seen by you guys!no hate of course, it's just nice to see you guys found a rhythm with this one 👌🏽
Good job, have a thumbs up. I'm currently getting a custom suit made from scratch at a trusted tailor of mine. It's insane how many different options there are (canvas, etc, lapel stitching). Can you do a video on going to a tailor for a custom suit? Fundamental things you should always ask for in your custom suit?
Like you say, better to have an off the rack suit that's already reasonably dialed in, so that the tailor will need to do less. Still, a lot of suits the sleeves are too baggy too much material in the upper back below the collar. Also, the pants legs are usually too wide and not tapered . so regardless, best to have the tailor tweak to your taste.
Great video, although I think Blake's jacket sleeves are a little short. It looks OK when his arms are straight but once they are at an angle they look a bit short.
Could you guys do a video on how you found your tailor. Did you do trial and error and what to look for in a proper tailor. Great video btw, keep up the great work
Gino, Friend recommendations, yelp reviews, and trial and error. Best to take a test pair of anything in before trusting a tailor with your expensive stuff. Thrifted, old clothes, or fast fashion options work great for this. -G
Great video! I've actually been looking into buying a sewing machine to do slight modifications to my clothes. Simple things like adding darts, tapering, and hemming. Do you two think that's a good thing gentleman should know? There is just something so rewarding about working with your hands.
If you have the time and the extra clothes to learn we definitely think it would be worth it. We actually cut out a part of this video mentioning we should just learn how to do it ourselves and we would save a ton of money. -G
Question guys.. How long should a suit jacket be? Crotch area, lower or just a little above the crotch? Thanks guys. Great video btw.. VERY useful tips.
I haven't found a tailor who does what I want him to do. They all suggest how it should look.. always with .. "no no no that's too short.. no no no that's too tight already" 🤦 dude!! That's how I want it!
I would never buy bigger shirts, your collar will be to wide, especially if you have a thin neck, look for brands which fit your neck-shoulder-arm proportionen well, the body will often be way to wide.
that's what i mean, the waist is even on slim fit shirts, in which i can barely fit because i have 39" chest, cut very wide sometimes even the hip area, which makes tucking them in untailored neatly impossible.
