@StyleArchitexts 4 года назад

What's good Vlad I think that both options had promise. The first was your "interest" in menswear, the second was you being informed of menswear with no stylistic knowledge of self. I'm interested in exploring your perspectives on the brown shoes conundrum because I've heard many perspectives on the subject. Outside of the structural issues button stance and the tightness in the front of the suit, I didn't see much wrong with either of the looks. The reason being the color button thread was a little ostentatious no doubt but was what most dudes who are doing custom want lol. With the regards to your shoulder do you think it was an ill fitting shoulder or arm hole and sleeve measurement or that the shoulder was overly padded? Also with the tightness in the front of the suit could the pulling because you took in entire suit instead of shaping the back and easing the two front pieces of the pattern? I'm also curious to hear your thoughts on weight and weave of fabrication and it's relation on how "tight" a suit can be cut. Definitely look forward to your thoughts and more videos.

@v_r_ 4 года назад

What's up, bro? Are you referring to the Brown shoes at a wedding? As you said, the main issues with the older suits were mostly them being too small and things that can't be changed like button stances and lapel widths. I just didn't understand fit and thought that the right fit meant a slim fit. Back when I worked in Menswear as a custom clothier, my clients cared more about details like contrast buttonholes and lining colors than they did about the actual fit, sadly I was in that category as well. I think the issue with the shoulders was mostly the jackets being the wrong size than the padding although it could be a little of both. My tailor at the time wasn't great, so I don't remember exactly if the jackets were taken in from the sides or the center seam. But I always advise guys to if anything buy a bigger size and have it taken it as opposed to the alternative. As far as fabrics, some are more forgiven than others but I've never had to take a different size due to the fabric. Some might require slight alterations from a tailor but not enough to go up or down in size, at least not in my experience.

I remember purchasing my 1st suit back in '05 for a holiday party. I had no idea what I needed and was totally trusting the sales clerk. The sales clerk sold me a black pinstriped suit after I informed him that I owned no other suits🤦‍♂️. When I showed up to the holiday party thinking I was looking fly, I was asked whose funeral did I just attend. I got humble real quick. I did end up wearing it to a funeral a few yrs later before I retired it. The only good thing was that the in store tailor was very good.

Hey man as we grow we mature and so do our wallets (hopefully) you can probably afford better looks AND with mtm suits all over the place you/we aren’t restricted to off the peg/rack. You can now find decent suiting for 500-1000. Some of us started with the Jos a bank buy 1 get 3 free being economical! I feel like some traditional pieces will always be a good look. Finding value and realize we are buying long term makes a difference too

@v_r_ 4 года назад

What's up, Marshall? While I agree with you, some of those suits cost the same if not more than some of my OTR S&M suits that I wear now. A right fit on a cheap suit will always look better than the wrong fit on an expensive suit. But I think that we'd both agree on that. Thanks for watching and commenting as always.

What’s up Vlad you are 100% correct! A great fit wins all!! A tailor is key, I think over time we have had more access to better quality is what I was saying. Gone are the days of being forced to go to certain spots to get suiting. I am 6’4” 270 , off the rack was a STRUGGLE.

@DaveNagrom 4 года назад

Coincidentally, I have the same tie you are wearing in this video, and it is one of my favourites! You are right, some of the people who make the most unsightly sartorial mistakes, are the fashion enthusiasts. Frankly, I think their preoccupation with “fashion” is the very reason that they make these mistakes! They are so obsessed with being on trend, that they fixate on projecting a particular “look”, without any understanding of the basics, and any appreciation of how integral fit is. Thank you for demonstrating the importance of proportions! Many people fail to appreciate how a properly fitting suit, can accentuate the best aspects of a man. What I have come to understand, from the timeless style of those I admire, is that when you understand how to put together an outfit, and how clothes ought to fit, you will always present well. Contrarily, you may be “in fashion”, and have a poor sense of style! Great video.

At least you were doing your own thing, and no doubt had some fun doing it.

“The most stylish part of your life” You’ve mentioned is also the most knowledgeable and valuable as You consciously transcened it to the next level. Though, there are still many who might stuck in the first place 😁⠀ I remember myself getting used to mix as many bright colours as I possibly could. That was fun though... ⠀ Cause today I know that the key is simplicity and moderation. ⠀ Thx Vlad! Somehow found myself deeping in to nostalgia 🤣

You're welcome, Dmitriy! I used to think that matching a whole bunch of patterns was the sign of a good dresser but to me, simplicity is key.

Hands down that Vegas outfit - damn sun!! 😳. Actually Not all the outfits were horrible. Remember the long coats & square toe shoes were in style at one point. Just like bad grammar is in style today 😂. I was about to comment on the tie 😂 but then you addressed it. 👍🏾

That Vegas suit, bro. I should sign it, frame it then sell it to the highest bidder 😂😂

@tommysmith7031 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing Vlad! It is good to know for people starting out that it takes people time to get it together. I don't think it is black or white that you dress good or you don't. It is a scale and putting a suit on at all will move you up that scale even if it is not a great fit. To use an American expression, I think you have gone from the Minor Leagues to the Majors. With anything, I think it is about being better and not perfect. Make each outfit better, learn as you go. Great video...

Well put, Tommy! Perfection is not the end goal but rather improving and learning from one's mistakes while enjoying the journey. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You lost some weight since the beginning, Brother Vladimir so now whatever you wear is going to look better. I say that because now I am wearing a beautiful tailor made jacket from England that I found in a second hand store. The guy it was made for was a little broader in the shoulders, a little slimmer around the belly and just a least bit taller. Even though it doesn’t fit I’m still wearing it. Anyway, rule one is get in shape.

@v_r_ 4 года назад

Haha..so true, Michael. Clothes have a way of looking better on guys that are in shape. I can do better in that department myself.

No one is born or even growing up to their teen really knowing how to dress really well in style or classic menswear wear. You learn and evolve in it over time as you can afford things. Your were too hard on your self looking at the pictures. You still looked better than most people I know. Which also says how much others also lack in style.

@elora2525 4 года назад

Big difference but honestly the major difference was loosening your jackets, now wearing higher quality and more basic color shirts.

@phillipmoodie9071 4 года назад

I am watching this video for the third time because I was wondering what you had to say about having your shirt fit you, in the same way that you emphasize the importance of the fit of the suit. Up until about 10 years ago, the major Department stores in Melbourne, Australia, carried a range of mens clothing that was the equivalent to a New York store. But now with in store sales being lost to the online world and with most men abandoning the tie, it is almost impossible to get the correct sleeve length. Collar sizing is a worse problem, because the stores are importing shirts from unfamiliar brands, with the main problem being inconsistent fit with shirts sold by neck size and a radical difference between the brands of shirts sold as S, M, L etc. Which is why I don't buy my shirts, sight unseen, online. Why I replayed the very interesting video was to look for any helpful advice on making shirts fit. I am the same height as you and now all of the standard brand shirts, particularly those with french cuffs are made for men much taller than me. In frustration I went and asked a local Tailor who specialises in alterations to up market women's clothing, if they could remake the sleeve length on the premium quality shirts, where the cuffs just dangled from the suit sleeve. While going to a ladies Tailor may be the only way, I was hoping to get some guidance on the fit of the shirt from some of your early videos, but I can't find any. Perhaps I wasn't looking at all of the past material. Phil.

You wasn't a bad dresser that was your Mental State at the time. If you are still dressing today like you did when you were twenty Basically you're still twenty or you haven't evolved your Style or your mental state. You are more mature now and its reflected in how you dress. You were sharp for that era.
