Well he's also the face of his own company, need to look sharp

@@cLokki i was thinking that this guy has a suit fetish or is in love with suits. Suits are not the most comfortable to be in while oerforming manual labor like tailoring

​@@Apocalypse9696 maybe it is very comfortable because it is perfectly tailored.

@@phagami61219 Exactly. Us common folk have no idea how a fitted suit feels.

Very inspiring

Extremely commited & dedicated with the way he choose. True japanese peoples.

💯 faxxx. You can’t outdo the Japanese when it comes to pursuit of perfection.

Couldn't agree more.

Perfectly expressed.

And at the same time just being a normal Japanese artisan

He's gone into the realm of philosophy. A true artisan.

Totally

He's a "shokunin" as they say in Japanese.

That is why he said it, that was for effect. He knows he is one of the best, but the culture forces the lie of modesty on him. He is expected to tell the words, so he tells them. By the success and the long waiting list, he knows damn well that he lies, but he lies anyway.

Sounds like a Ghibli project...

Everything in Japan is a Ghibli plot

i am so glad i wasnt the only one thinking of a potential suit tailor anime.

And his rival will be an italian Called Gino Ricci. A prodigy guy who come from a Dinasty of tailors. He wants surpass his brother and take the business for himself. The main characther teacher is going to be Alessandro Rossi. An old tailor who was the best tailor from italy in his young age but after the mafia killed his family and cut his hand he only teach but still he learned how to sew with one hand this skill is Called agile mano di Dio.

Suit Wars

Unlike western people, most of japanese are thin, so this won't be a problem for them.

What if he actually just adds their name in the list and when the time comes he asks them into the shop for measurements and gets done with the suit in 4 days? Perhaps that’s how it is.

pretty sure the wait to get the suit is not as long. But to get an appointment for an order is 9 months

And how long do you plan on wearing said suit anyway?...

@@machinmon. A bespoke suite is known to last many many years (over 10). Some folks order the jacket and two pants b/c the pants wear much faster. Gaining few pounds (or losing them) is not usually an issue, it can be easily adjusted if needed

Can you put in an imperceptible pocket that would hold a bag of 50 clear pills?

Is this a social or formal affair?

Come back in 2030 when we take your measurements all over again. 😂

Hahaha beat me to it!

Tailor : "Ok, your suit will be ready in 9 months" John Wick : "......what?"

Sauce?

Really I would say a motorcycle beats any suit

baseball bat

@@boomerhgt A real motorcycle, not those scooters.

No. Suit is good for good looking people. For average looking dude, you need more spices and suits is too simple for that.

hahahah

UPSC

If you hand him a gold coin, it will be delivered to your place that week.

@@Ryo8761 A suit for a Day and one for a Night. And the event is Social

After 1 year Your suit is reader sir Finally Wait it doesn't fit...

Very Italian if you ask me haha

Heart warming

Now that's class.

Got to admire the perfect amount of likes on this comment.

Great

Japanese forged steel is impeccable. Have a similar situation with her old chef knives.

@@chesterogilvie1393 oh definitely. My dad has Japanese knives and they slice through things like it’s butter. I hope to have a pair of Japanese metal scissors because they’re the finest of the finest when it comes to metal work.

Definitely not made in China :D

You don't need special occasion to wear a suit .You can wear it because you want .It's just a presentation of your thought.

Shaddup.

Whatdup.

@Virtual Pilgrim The fat people

You realize that Americans are a very diverse group of people right? In fact you can include yourself in that stupid group for making such an idiotic comment about Americans in general.

Americans can’t make suits. I’ve seen their efforts of so called tailored garments and quite frankly they are an embarrassment to the art. Rodeo drive CA., 5th Avenue NY, it doesn’t matter, they ‘think’ they are great because they charge premium prices and have an expensive address but the end results are mediocre at best. Savile Row London or Naples Italy will always show class and fit over anything the Americans can throw together.

suit up !!!!!!!

He is probably that client causing the 6-9 months wait.

The attention given to their customers are bar none.

Don't tell Libs that, you'll be called a racist. Culture? Values?

@@MarkJones-si2bb hope you got your head checked.

If you don't mind、 I would be delighted to know the name of the Japanese tailor you bought your suits from！ Of course、for future references。

@@cyvycymusic1096 Sartoria Yuki Inoue, Milan.

@@peeeceee6275 I am grateful for the response. I will check out that particular tailor in the future.

@@peeeceee6275 thanks

@@peeeceee6275 thank you for this. 🙏

Well he looks like a typical tailor, so when he's old, he's gonna have that same shape and thick glasses, etc. It's part of the lifestyle.

Ooooh! Thanks for that info, now I just need the funds.

Only 25 hours to sew? The real bespoke take 100 hours (or more) because of the enormous amount of hand-sewing. The hand-made buttonholes alone, can take 45 - 60 minutes for each one.

@@c3cubed as I've written in my comment: "(depends on style, details and construction)" of course a handmade buttonhole is more timeconsuming than a passepoile buttonhole or one made with a buttonhole-machine (Also, this is not an 'I like to wear suits sometimes'-comment, I've passed the most difficult exam (surprise, a jacket) in my country and I work as a tailor.) If someone wants to get a nice, basic, tailored suit, that will last them long and fit to various occacions, they wont need to wait for hundreds or hours :P

@@sC-vk8xi Maybe you're referring to "made to measure"? Those suits are partially finished in advance, mostly by machine. I'm a Bespoke Tailor and Haute Couturier, and interestingly, was the first Canadian (way back in the early 80's) to become a member of the Chambres Syndicale in Paris, where I trained. Prior to retiring that field for another corporate interest, I had a fairly renowned atelier enterprise for 25 years, with good clients that had no issues with long waits. The fellow in question here appears to be working with bench methods. If I were to wait that long for a suit - my buttonholes better damn well be hand-executed and the balance of the suit (including lapels and lining) be finely stitched by hand (!) Lol... ;) Now, I will say this: It's good to see a good number of young folks investing their futures in maintaining the status of beautifully tailored apparel, but it does seem to be mostly relegated to menswear; men seem more willing to pay the high price for such longevity, exotic fabrics and craftsmanship. Haute couture on the other hand, has a very small, rarified cluster of international clients willing to pay the price equivalent of a decent home for a single jacket or dress, yet for most - they only wear it once. Sadly though, it's now furiously label-driven, and many of the signature, traditional "hand made" techniques unique to this, are rapidly being abandoned. A bizarre economy, based on a women's ego.

@@c3cubed No, def not. We make our suits from scratch. Seems a bit silly for us to have a halffinished garment, since we do a wide variety of looks.

I was amazed at this detail as well. I only noticed when he said it and I’ve been a lot more observant in posture change. People tend to do it for photos if they have to be smart, they will stand with their back as straight as possible. It had never occurred to me either that there could be posture change, the tiniest detail most wouldn’t think of.

Japanese made items are perfection in itself

Lol I wonder if he had to wait 6 to 9 months or it can be expedited with a gold coin.

John Wick: "Ueki San, I need a tactical suit to wear when I plan to wipe out a complete Yakuza clan in about 9 months." Ueki: "Tactical suit? - Sorry Wick San - I need 12 months."

might as well throw in another "D" - determination

Women needs to learn that fast fashion is trash and that classics are classics for a reason. Zara and other trash fast fashion brands are to blame for the crappy quality of women clothes and the excess waste being thrown into the sea in other parts of the world. There is nothing wrong with simple garments. Simple is best.

@@alvinsmith3894 Weird thing is I've been watching Gentleman's Gazette a lot. It's obviously not aimed at me and I don't agree with absolutely everything but I find it relaxing and there are definitely good tips to be had which I want to apply. Fast fashion is definitely a serious problem causing crappy quality and excess waste as you say.

マ？

My old man was a tailor, but not a patience teacher, as a young kid I would ask questions on his profession and his answers were , it’s too hard for you or not today I’m busy, wasn’t interested in entertaining me.

I assume it means you have to wait 9 months for an appointment

150 suits a year with 4 tailors so i would assume it takes 9 working days for 1 suit

@@adamyong6766 that seems that a decent amount of time for a suit to me, it may sound like a while to others but it takes me a week to just sew a button up shirt and the waiting list is hella long so 9 days seems like a real short time for high quality items. Sorry about the random rant but I’m rlly fascinated by the quality and style of the suits 😓

What the similar for japanese jeans and bags like this suit?

Agreed, Japan is the land of craftsmanship

And don't forget to get some cutlery while you're there... And some super-perfect fruit... And some whisky... And some (real) Wagyu beef...

Don’t forget to pick some wristwatches on the way!

And Bonsai trees. 👍🏽
