great video, simple and informative. I may be stuck in the wrong era but this is how a tuxedo should be worn. *cheers

@Sth_Magical 7 лет назад

There is no era for timeless and classical mens fashion. The dinner jacket/tuxedo is as refined as when Henry Poole & Co. created it decades ago.

@LouB3rt 7 лет назад

Well said, I agree. Although, there are many different variations now that I just don't relate to. Sneakers with a suit/tuxedo etc. Classic is always the way to go, just in my opinion.

@staaswolter641 5 лет назад

John looks very nice, but he needs a cummerbund and patent oxfords, he is wearing derbies. If those are buttons, they need to be covered up with a fly front. Also the jacket must be ventless or side vented if you put your hands on your pockets a lot.

Anyone can look good and present themselves as a gentleman or a lady but it is at home, alone where you can see if a person is in fact a lady or a gentleman. As they are alone it is hard but a few situations can happen. For example, an apartment fire alarm going of during the night. Now that is a perfect place to see, when any given person is a lady gentleman

@danbee415 Год назад

i got myself vintage chester barrie tuxedo, same people who made Ralph Lauren Purple Label suits for a very cheap price, something like 130 quid with a perfect fit. Paid 27 quid for overcalf silk dress socks Paid 350 for pleated dress shirt, proper pleats made in England and for a matching bow tie and cummerband for my tuxedo. lapel facings are grosgrain, so grosgrain accessories. Paid 95 for silk moire white braces. Moire a very similar pattern to grosgrain. Paid 200 for my black oxford wholecuts. So overall my outfit I paid for is £800. But the suit was the biggest bargain, usually they sell for £1300- 2000£

@gbglobetrotter 6 лет назад

Sorry..! The Tuxedo goes back to before the rat pack! It was designed as "informal court dress" for a private party/gathering for the Prince of Wales by his tailor Henry Poole & Co of Savile Row. There were some Americans at the party, who were told to get informal court dress made at Poole's and they really liked it, they took it back to America and wore it at their club: the Tuxedo Park club in New York. Other members copied the suit and the name stuck... The rest, the rack pack etc, is a footnote in the story... I find it interesting that was is considered formal dress today is actually informal court dress of its day!

@ghcheong 7 лет назад

Only unfortunate thing here is the single vent of the jacket. .. a bit of a shame from an otherwise great looking outfit.

@krollic 7 лет назад

single vent is a lot more of a classic style which doesn't go amiss with something like a tuxedo though I do agree the double vent tends to be more flattering, more comfortable, modern and better aerated

@firas9102 7 лет назад

Fucking hell, and I am here sitting: Wtf are they all talking about? xd.

@ayomidebamidele2970 6 лет назад

The type of vent is best fitting with regards to how your buttocks is. One with a larger butt will benefit more (with regards to flattery, lookswise of course) from a double vent, otherwise, single vent or double will do perfectly fine.

@faizshaikh950 7 лет назад

waist covering was left at grandmas home probably

@rossboss7341 3 года назад

Tips from me... a tailor. Never wear a watch with any sort of tuxedo, white tie or morning wear. It is a disrespectful sign as it makes other people around you feel like you have something better to do other than be at that place and time. Just leave the watch home.

True however one watch that is appropriate for evening/ formal day wear would be a pocket watch (but yeah highly recommend to just leave the watch home)

Limitation is what puts us behind. Everyone is entitled to express themselves the way they please, if you want to wear a watch, go ahead, it's part of a personal style.

You speak as if there's only one way to wear one. If such is the case, then there's a real issue with regards to your perspective(s), cheers.

When wearing a Tux you shouldn't wear a watch. Tux occasions don't ask for time keeping. They're about enjoying your time.

@MSato123 6 лет назад

Tuxedo, aka dinner jacket, is not the most classic. White tie is the most classic, follow by morning dress. And tuxedo should only be black, not Midnight blue. And no wrist watch either.

@wertold4622 5 лет назад

Tuxedo and dinner jacket are different things.
