Great article and video Antonio.
+Saami Ahmed Thank you, sir!
On your video,"3 rules to wearing dress shoes with jeans" video, do you know what shoes were at 5:11 in the video. If you don't know could you link me similar models. Thanks (:
+Real Men Real Style
Antonio,
If I may request,
While time is precious - would you perhaps take the time in taking conversions from the inches to centimeters when talking about them to your viewers?
The metric system is more widely used and I feel it would become more comprehensive to those others out there who aren't used to the inches measurement.
1 inch equates to 2.54 centimeters,
While it's an easy concept to convert as is miles to kilometers, not many are used to the exact conversions. It would help a ton!
+AweMuse Thanks for letting me know how you feel - I'll keep this in mind.
I would love to have a $2,000 suit. However, I'm also partial to eating and not being homeless.
NZ -- I totally agree with you, which is why I would often search for and buy $2000+ pre-owned designer suits (e.g., Canali, Armani, Zegna) in pristine condition on ebay for around $200-300. It takes some patience, but it's worth it. Sure, I would usually need some minor tailoring for an additional cost, but overall it was a great deal, and I would get tons of compliments when I wore those suits, often being told that I looked like some movie star. Antonio did not specifically mention "the drape" of a high-end suit, which is what really makes it stand out. Corollary -- I would never buy a suit from an ebay vendor who did not take returns, because as good as the item might look in the online ad, it might not be as good in person, or feel as good, or have the same color, etc., so you always need the option to return it. Ebay vendors who say, "Seller does not take returns" never got my business.
you could buy one from a consignment store. they always have clothing that are two or three seasons old but no one will be able to tell because it's a suit.
How about step your game up and stop acting like a little boy!
Every man should be able to afford a $2000 suit. If they cannot then that means they are not working to anywhere near their full potential.
The average salary is $50,000 and it is not hard to actually earn 25% to 50% higher than this.
bighands69 What an absurd statement. The average salary (US, I'm assuming) is irrelevant. The average salary is measured across ALL jobs, which means that to say that EVERY man should be able to afford a $2,000 suit is demonstrably untrue. A person's salary depends on how much their job pays, not on what the National average is. It also depends on location. Not only does location influence how much a person is paid, but because cost of living varies from location to location, it also has an impact on how much money a person has left after expenses.
The National average that's measured across all jobs means nothing to me. I don't make $50,000 a year (which incidentally isn't the National average in my country anyway), so it means nothing to me what the average is, and my city is an expensive city in which to live. I have a multitude of expenses that must take priority before I could even entertain the thought of spending a couple of grand on an item of clothing.
So no. I personally can't afford a $2,000 suit, and neither can EVERY man.
Can you do a segment on the difference between the $20 dollar hooker and the $200 hooker...thanks
lmao
$20 hooker do crack cocaine in the hood
$200 hooker do snow cocaine in the hills
the hooker is cheaper
hahaha!!
biggest difference is that the 20$ hooker will tell you she loves you; the 200$ will ask you if you want her to remove her full denture
The beginning picture is of Harvey Spectre and Mike Ross from the show Suits!
+kornerkutz Yes!
+Real Men Real Style I Love that show! Harvey has a fantastic wardrobe.
+leecooper9911 who the fuck give a shit about animals. in 50 years we can just genetic modify these animals and put them on earth for the human to enjoy.
Yep. Same applies to workers. In 100 years we will be able to produce children that love to work and stay small. And no, artificial children are no real children, freaking liberals.
Nicolas Kaplan with science, artificial any thing can be as real as mother nature produces. thats beauty of science and technology.
I travel to Hong Kong and Thailand at least once a year and update my wardrobe with tailored suits, jackets, slacks and shirts every year. A suit tailored and cut to your measurements and then fitted twice is like an armor upgrade in the boardroom. On an average, I spent $250 for a suit with 2 pairs of pants and 3 shirts, all custom tailored, with my name embroidered in the suit coat and my initials on the sleeves of my shirts. It is worth the trip!
Dude you obviously understand what you are talking about.I like how you try to explain the differences, but I want to ask you if you have a video about how to pick a tie and match it with the suit and how to choose a knot, if the knot makes the difference. If you dont have a video like that can you please make one.Thank you in advance.
Hmmmmmmm.
2000 dollar suit..
orr.... 3333 ramen cups.

Bespoke Tailor in NYC's Advice to Future tailors!
Give him your advice too!
ua-cam.com/video/7KWwmayNjYU/v-deo.html
Similarities: I can't afford either.
I'm with you
lol
You can pay it in 1 year.
Get it second hand or at Nordstrom's rack. Also, tailors sell bespoke ones that guys cancel on. Usually, the best deal is on a blazer only.
BillyBob Kumar thank you. I will be taking that info and you have a wonderful life sir! Godspeed.
First image, Harvey and Mike 😍
😍
This is so true! After looking for the right suit and fit, I ended up getting a $2000 Canali suit from Saks. The service was great and the suit looks great and it fits me perfectly. I love the suit and every time I put it on it feels like I am seeing it for the first time. Definitely no regrets.
This was a fantastic video! Very informative. Years ago, I bought an expensive Ralph Lauren suit, didn't wear it for years, and then got it fitted and updated because I lost weight. It's like I have a brand new suit. I have a couple of mid-price range suits I did the same thing to, and they actually look and wear better than when I bought them. However, my next move will be to have a suit made for me. I'm thinking Brooks Brothers.
+Kerry Luckett Nice! Quality goes a long way.
Thanks for the video. Brings to mind my late grandfather who was a tailor. I think he was more of a bespoke tailor than made to measure. I recall customers in his shop getting fitted with the fabrics laid on them while he'd mark the fabric with chalk lines. He always did the hem on the trousers a certain way and that was his signature. He made a good living serving his upscale clientele.
+sfneurosurgeon Nice! Thanks for sharing your grandfather's story.
I totally agree with this guy, but my best suit ever cost me $300 and one of my worst $1,200. So sometimes you just fit perfectly in a cheap one.
It's all about finding out what suits you best.
Real Men Real Style Yes, but I also notice that a cheap suit lose its "form" faster than one of quality.
dude suites are like the thing of the past man cyberpunk style is where its at now :)
Your a DUmb young fuck! WHen you move out your mothers basement you will see.
skinnypi shut up its just a style i honestly dont like them they dont look that good to me, and my mothers basment get real dude
Never had the hard time choosing between 200$ and 2000$ suit. Always had my mom making suits for me and yeah, she's a suit maker.
lucky you
Very professional presentation, thanks! I 100% agree about the fabric. I recently was in the market for a British made-to-measure tweed jacket. I worked directly with Marton Mills, who graciously sent me fabric samples. The tailor was a regular MM customer so you can order a jacket in any of the 50 or so MM tweeds. The luxurious feel of British-woven 100% new wool cannot be overstated, and the jacket looked and felt fantastic when it arrived. (I went with a Gun Club Check.)
So many comments about how even a $200 suit is too expensive. If that's your opinion out of the gate, what the hell are you watching this video for?
dO YOU EAT CHEESE?
$200 is the most no way am I going to pay $3K for a suit. Get a Jones New York on sale...
Jared Fontaine would I pay 3k for a suit? Not likely, no. Under the perfect circumstances, and if I made the money to do it, maybe.
I did, however, pay roughly $1,000 for my suit, and you can tell the difference in how it looks, how it fits and feels. Custom fit clothing isn't cheap, but if you can afford it it's worth it.
Besides, why would you watch a video comparing a $200 suit to a $2,000 suit if you're going into it with preconceived notions that a 2k suit is never worth it anyways? Sounds just like a waste of time to me.
Matt Johnston I always want to keep an open mind. Also technology has changed so maybe the $3k would wick away sweat and keep you dryer or actually do something. I am not against spending a lot of money but you have to justify it rationally and this video doesn't. Am I going to get a good job if I have a $3K suit? Just like the majority of luxury goods they are just puffery. No difference between a luxury car and a cheap one. Even if there differences are they really worth 100 times the price? I don't think so...
+Jared Fontaine I have a $5k suit and 3 $1k tweed jackets a few 3-$500 suits and many 1-$200 suits. The $5k suit and $1k jackets material is thick and the patterns are very intricate and something you don't see on a daily basis. And the woman take notice. the others depending on the material are not that much different. But if buying something is going to hit your pockets deep. Take it from someone that has a variety of suits it wouldn't be worth the price. I'd rather had several $200 suits then 1 $2k suit.
There is no differences, I still have no money of either of them.
....walmart is my choice in tailors....they have real elegance in track suits and wife-beater shirts....Kmart and j.c.penny are very declasse
Khawar Paracha ....ok khawar, tell us where you get your dhoti tailored, and does it cost more than $2
Khawar Paracha .....%&2!!(>..>===++4$j& !
+Khawar Paracha ugly ass lookin self. get a camel and go back to ur country.
U guys are awesome...
+Khawar Paracha can you explain to me what it is?
Great informational vid. I've been looking at suits this week and having some others altered. Absolutely fantastic explanation!
You've hit the mark once again Antonio, bravo! Quality remains around far longer than the initial sting of price! However for younger men who may not be as affluent it takes time to build a proper wardrobe and understand why it is worth it.
$2000 off the rack? I'd go custom at that point
+Malaquias Alfaro Custom/Bespoke is included in that price point in the article as well.
I paid $110 after sales and coupons for a slim fit suit at JC penney. The suit is from JF J. Ferrar, I tried on maybe 15 suits jackets to find one that fit perfectly. I'm very happy and could never pay 2,000 for a suit. I love suits but i'm also an elementary teacher, it doesn't fit the pay grade. I'll stick to the $100-250 range and just have it tailored if needed.
people can tell a cheap suit when they see one, and you my friend will stick out like a sore thumb
at an elementary school he'll stick out because he's actually wearing a suit
@@KieraQ0323 True, I am the only one who wears a suit and literally the only male teacher in the school. Sticking out comes with the territory.
Thank you so much for these videos Antonio, they have helped me in understanding what dressing sharp is and now I am starting to put it into practice. Thank you for helping us guys in understanding what being a real gentleman is and helping us not to have an excuse not to dress sharp.
+protpally223 Hi! Thanks for letting me know how you feel. Love reading comments like this :)
Lanieri is a great italian start up which offers made in italy made to measure clothing at affordable prices. You have a huge range of options for personalisations while being able to choose also between some of the best italian fabrics.
+Julian Stella Nice. I'll check it out.
I was lucky enough to have a suit hand made for me by SCABAL. You surely know them Antonio. For those who don't. They are the manufacturer of the best and finest fabrics in the world used by most tailors and luxury brands. I would also like to add that you can definitely feel the difference between made-to-measure and hand-made suits. Love the video!
Why you dressed like the Joker?
Love your channel! Nice video
Extremely helpful video now that I'm starting to buy suits. Thanks again Antonio another great video!! Keep'em coming
+Odyssey Adventures Hi Odyssey, You're welcome :)
just bought the best suit and shirt I could afford for job interview. felt like a million dollar. The suit did part of my interview for me. worth it.
I often find people complain about how hot suits are and they blame the wool instead of the this coating of glue that they're really wearing.
Bob? You watch this guy?
yea hes great
Excellent video! Thanks for posting this!
You are a good speaker. Thank you for the information!
Nice informative video Antonio. I myself have been interested in classic menswear quite a lot for last two/three years. The difference and main factor for me is always the material/fabric out of which item is made. Learning about materials/fabrics really helped me to focus on quality items (for not necessarily much higher price).
I don't know if you have made a video about it but video focusing on a way how individual can identify/distinguish the materials/fabrics (and their respective varieties) in person while visiting the store would be great. The tags are not telling the whole story unfortunately (i. e. long vs short cashmere fibers) or information on them might even be false.
+Mart I did make one! www.realmenrealstyle.com/identify-quality-clothing/
I bought a bespoke suit 20 years ago and it is still being used today.
Thanks for sharing , good info , I will certainly take all points in notice for my next suit. Thanks again.
I have recently found a great fabric company Gladson, that makes woolen fabrics that I would put up against Hickey-Freeman. I have all my suits be-spoke so I do save quite a bit. The feel of the wool is tremendous particularly the winter weights. It lacks just a hairs difference from Holland and Sherry, which I have, but I am happy with the Gladson fabrics and the Holland and Sherry. They both have their fabric swatches on line.
For 2000$ you don't buy a normal suit from a famous designer brand but a custom tailored suit. And i would say that it could be even better to travel in Asia, take 2 weeks trip to enjoy your life, and buy a 1000$ custom tailored suit that is one of the best in the world. I would recommand Thailand/Singapor/Hong Kong... go your research on google.
+mHz Guts can you provide a website? I don't know what to google
+Mattia Bedin You can look for
1/ Raja Fashions
Cameron Road, Hong Kong
2/ Ascot Chang
Shop 131, Landmark Prince's, Central, Hong Kong
Google for the website or a phone number.
+mHz Guts thank you very much
Just a question, why is East Asia so good for buying suits?
+John D'Aquino Price range but still good quality.
I'd say the difference is about $1800 that could be better spent elsewhere. hahaha
+iz Zz I bought a $250 suit from JCPenney, after sales and coupons it was $110. Went to my tailor and he said I didn't need anything done. Score
so basically on your car 😌
You either got lucky or knew what you were buying from JCPenny.
MeistGaming same thing happened to me today
Ahahahahaha
Absolutely amazing video. Great breakdown. I think i will go for that tom ford/ raf simons suit for my wedding
I'm glad I found this video on suits cheap vs expensive. now I know thank you for educating me in this area.
+Xandia ray Super - glad it helped, Xandia :)
very very informative
Brutal. I read the comments hoping viewers would do what he asked, list new suit makers that offer exceptional value. Go fish. (Thanks for the video though)
Check out Kroon. I found them on bluefly.com
This is a great video.I will continue to watch. Thanks Antonio
Informative, and educational suit presentation. I would have liked to seen a live demonstration of high quality vs lower quality suits. However the info was great! 👍
Looks like the guy is wearing a 200 suit in this video. Why are the sleeves so baggy?
Deliberate. He looks great in that suit.
Not everyone likes the new ridiculous tight suits, and yes not everyone is a twig. Some men actually have what is called muscle LOL.
@@abcertweld I have to have baggier arms but still like a suit that hugs my sides below the lats... When I had tight fitting suits they were almost impossible to put on and I wouldn't dare lift my arms too high 😂
I have to agree, seen a couple of video's now and very underwhelmed by the way the guy's suits look on him
I have 5000 dollar Tom Ford suits in my huge suit collection. My suits are 25% luxury brands, 25 % high street or what Americans would call mainstream brands and 50% are bespoke or what American' call tailor made. Any off the rack suit I buy high street or luxury is altered by my tailor or in-store no matter how well I think it fitsadjustments make it look much better.
And?
it's a comment section on suits. so I commented on my suits.
+vistaprime respect for the reply, absolute class
That's a cool story but when people brag you should throw in some useful parts so you can disguise that the fact that you sound like a mega douche.
Yet he addressed the video concerning tailoring a suit:
"Any off the rack suit I buy high street or luxury is altered by my tailor or in-store no matter how well I think it fitsadjustments make it look much better."
Thanks for all of the great knowledge that you are giving in all of your videos! It is serving me well!
+Dexter Johnson You are so welcome Dexter!
Highly competent video, accurately informative and helpful, as opposed to overly opinionated/ignorantly biased. Many thanks! I guess I have a cheap, off the rack suit (Michael Kors Deco). It's the best I can afford for now, hoping it's a higher end cheap suit, LOL!!! Thoughts/opinions on that, anyone?
*Now subscribed* (after watching a few of your videos).
"You almost spilled your drink on my two thousand dollar suit... COME ON!"
Hi Antonio! Great video! Have you ever tried italian bespoke suits like A.Caraceni or Rubinacci which cost between 4000-6000$? If you have experience with such high end sartorial suits I would be very interested in your experiences and if the extremely high prices are "worth it".
+Julian Stella Hi Julian - that's for another video.
I have a 7.5k cucinelli and to be honest, I don’t see much of a difference from say canaglia and so on. In my opinion, it is mostly about branding such as Loro Piana. Why is it that a Mongolian turtleneck made with the finest cashmere you can find costs 10 times less than a Loro Piana with similar style and material?? It’s because of branding
Good points. I've seen folks sport a $200 suit with really nice shoes, shirt, and tie, and it looked like a pricy setup. I've also seen the 1k Zanetti suits and would not be able to tell the difference unless I asked. I think most people wouldn't either.
Hello!
I'm from India and I really like the way you explain about suits.
Thank you !
As a female I feel men that watch and heed advice, style and how to properly dress is extremely attractive.
2000?? 200?? im going for $20 suit
lol ill buy a car with 2000
+machende mulu I'm actually going to buy a motorcycle tomorrow for 120. Talk about a steal.
D. H. Bartlett money well spent
+D. H. Bartlett where do you live lol i live in a third world country and there is no such thing for me
You should ride your motorcycle with a $20 suit.
thanks for explaining this in a simply way. and not like the other two guys who is yelling it to you like they are a drill sergeant.
Great video, keep up the great work. You have a new sub!!
you could actually buy a decent running car (honda, toyota) with 2000$. let that sink in for a moment.
Not in Denmark sadly :((
A good suit could last you a life time.
Most cars at $2,000 require another $3,000 to get it up to scratch I’ll let that sink in to you for a moment a $5,000 car expect to pay $4,000 to get it up to scratch , I know this how I’m a mechanic and have bought many cheap cars only to find out they need a bulk load of work after most people run them into the ground , people don’t look after their cars and if $2,000 is a decent car then you are clearly dreaming
I have found that my favourite places to get a suit are Suitsupply MTM and Cad and the Dandy for bespoke.
Unfortunately I''m too short to get a suit from Suitsupply even made to measure, but their coats and shirts are perfect for me.
For suits, I go to Cad and the Dandy on Savile Row in London. I paid about £1500 but when you take into consideration it's a fully bespoke suit made on Savile Row, I think it's an amazing price. Not to mention it only cost that much because of my choice of fabric. Their fully hand made range starts from £1000 I believe, and I would highly recommend them.
+Adil Patanker Agreed.
+Adil Patanker Love Suitsupply :)
This store is just amazing.
The suits are affordable and they use high quality materials too.
Not well. I'm not saying that SuitSupply is bad, i actually like them a lot. Understand that Savile Row has been doing the suiting game for A LONG TIME. To become a tailor there you have to go through decades of training.
SuitSupply may be a better construction than your average suit, but it's still geared to the masses. Savile Row is Bespoke, with multiple fitting to get it right. It fits you and only you.
I work for a luxury suiting company, not a designer company that slaps a label on there to hike up the price, but an Italian company with a well established reputation.
Being in the business, i have met people that have been willing to let me see some of the items they have had made on Savile, and it's a league of it's own. Meticulous attention to detail.
Antonio,
You know your stuff, and are prepared. Also you reflect your message with your own style. I have learned quite a bit about subjects that are not generally taught to young men, but should be. Suits? I am very pleased with my two Hugo Boss suits and have gotten comments about them, but they are not bespoke. Also I have suits from Nordstrom and Lord and Taylor. None as err 're anywhere near $2000, but became a good fit and value from several fittings. You are doing a great service with these videos. R
very helpful -- thanks for educating me. great information.
the video was great. whats the price of the suit u r wearing. ? I jus want to know this :p
Talent, skill, productivity, and efficiency are critical to success. But image and projection often times pay even greater dividends in your career. I would wager that the expense of several top end suits will be returned to you ten fold by the time you retire from your chosen field. The best investment you can make is in yourself.
+Jamie Hitt Agreed!
Excellent video. This guy really knows what he's talking about and I respect that.
+Jack Nunes Highly appreciate the feedback - I respect that too.
Great video. Using the info here also makes us sound a lil more sophisticated. 👍🏻
Some people don't understand value. 1) money is not a real entity. It is only a representation of value. There is no factual "right price" for anything. 2) value does exist beyond functionality. Life isn't just about getting from point A to point B. People find value beyond the basic necessities.
lies bros 100k range rover sport is diff from 2k kia pincato lol
Frankie mayweather what you said isn't even an argument against what pony said...lol
There's a great place in Vietnam that does good quality custom suits.
+Walter White
How much is it and can I buy online?
+Walter White very funny, i would argue the total opposite, VN tailors are generally terrible. This has more to do with the "school" they come from. Believe me i have a couple on the payroll.
Wow I never knew watching a Top Gear episode made you worldly.
Glad I wasn't the only one who got the reference lol. And fuck Chris Evans!! He's finally gone! :D
Vietnam’s a peasant country full of peasants why would they need to sell or make quality suits , laughable
Very goods observations. Excellent recomendations. keep doing this job.
+Georg Thomas Reitmayr Noted :)
A suit is an investment. Thank you Mike this video is very helpful.
The solution to the fit for cheaper suits is to get it tailored.
It's about the fabric quality on lower end suits as well as the small hand crafted details, as he stated, higher end quality suits (usually) are made of higher grade longer lasting fabrics.
I get customs suits. However, this video is true. Why the hell did i try Burlington Coat Factory?? I wore the suit once, and i Tossed it. I never wore it again in public. However, i wen't to Men's Warehouse, and i have three custom suits, and they fit me perfectly lol. About 3000 for three suits.
I got a $2-300 Suit from Macy's and a $3-400 from MWH, and the pants pretty much gets destroyed after daily subway rides and office use... mean while my $40 amazon pants are tough as nails and fit great, lol...
I got three nice suit jackets all together for $20 at Amvets, a nice grey one with subtle nice styling of the fabric threads, a nice multi-brownish fabric blend, and a cream/faint-khaki.
I'm styling for Karaoke performance now,… but still look good even besides.
Great tips keep it up, I have spend a couple grands on suits cheap ones are good for daily use in my opinion, the high quality for that special moment that way guy's around you will notice the difference because, yes sometimes you can tell the cheap from the quality.
My mom made my suit, She's a pro.
+xierxu Wow. That's brilliant. Do you have a picture of it?
I got no money anyway for that high-priced suit.
***** Not for a russian. We are way more primitive than you may think of us. We love to talk about our soul and so on, but what we do in reality - we make judgements simply by your clothes and just by your look.
Very insightful. Thanks Antonio!
+Gabriel Baker Thanks Gabriel :)
first time watching your channel/video.. thank you so much for sharing.
+J Espejo Super - glad you enjoyed it.
what's wrong with your arms?
Buy a $200 suit and drop $800 on a tailor. save $1,000. Problem solved
appleseedfanatic many people wouldn't be able to deal with the mental trauma after realizing that they spent 4 times more on the tailor than the suit
the fabric would still be shit and not last very long, so you spent 800 USD and it will last less than 6 months, if you buy the 2000USD suit it could last you a life time
I love my expensive suits. Don't always buy brandname though, Antonio is right as usual. I would say the fit is 70% " artisan work" as he says. But I'm sure he like myself always wheres expensive fabric. Check out Zegna, Brioni, and Canaille; my favorites. If I see a good deal on them I always buy. Your the best Antonio, Semper Fi
Antonio the Purple suit with green tie is very different but very classy. Love it.
+Jaime West Thanks Jaime!
I will get a $20 one, only if I can't find one for $2. The clothes don't make the man. That money can be spent better.
if that fits you, looks good on you (proper fabric and color) and passes the test of time/wears, then you're in luck
that shit gonna rip the next day... look cheap asf not going to fit at all. It's gonna feel uncomfortable since they would have to use the cheapest material possible and yes. That would be a waste of 20 bucks. Some people don't get why such brands are expensive cuz they broke... smh some brands are overpriced and some are actually luxuries.
Juan Herrero Unless getting a job depends on it.
I wear a 399 suit from Perry Ellis that I got from mens wear house.....Fit's VERY well.
Then again, I have the typical "model" build. Broad shoulders, slimmer waist. It's not tailor made to fit, but to buy 3-4 suits and spend 1,500-2,000 each? LOL, no. We're not all executives or CEO's. If you're decently in shape, every single suit will fit you well.
Not to mention, that 399 suit is like 60%
wool...so.. I mean.
to top it off, the suit has fit well for 4 years of good usage...
Oxxford in Chicago, very old school classic. For a new age take on bespoke, Acustom Apparel in NYC.
Excellent info. Thank you.
your suit looks too tight on you
Thank you Antonia for all your great video. You are an awesome man. My wife is so happy: now i try to improve my style thanks to you
+Ryan B Thanks for watching!
I would appreciate it SO MUCH if you could show us w a live model what these differences look like! Put the same guy in different quality suits… talk about the fit as he moves around, right there with you. Not sure if its possible! Thank you ☺️
I just start to look your video and you are a genius!
You are a wealth of information. Thank you so much for making this video.
+jc “codefitness” butler Super! :)
I think Fit,is the most important factor to look for when choosing a suit...like the one you'r dressing..thanks really a nice video
+M.R. I completely agree. Even with buying clothing items, fit is no.1
Well done!! Every man should take the time to learn this stuff. The concept of a "well suited man" is not dead, It's alive and well. It's just a matter if you want to be a part of it. Cheers!
Ratio Clothing in Denver. Suits ($900 and up) and shirts ($100-200) are made to fit and are awesome. Great service too.
I managed to purchase a couple of Brioni and Loro Piana suits at a discount price and got few as a gift and now I really can't go back to cheaper suits because the difference is so significant when compared to mid-range Hugo Boss suits etc..
Utterly stellar - every one of your videos.
some of the nicest upcoming brands i know of are:
eleventy, they make some really nice and modern clothing
m0851 is a canadian brand which sells only leather goods, and it is AMAZING, plus its relatively new and modern in design
COS is the "deluxe spin-off" of H&M. It might be better known than the former 2 brands, but i still feel like i needed to share it.
BTW great work Antonio, keep it up
+Simon Bartholemy Hey Simon! I haven't worn those brands. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for the advice!
I enjoyed this video. Thanks!
Great video! Thank you for the insight.
+J Kane You are so welcome!
Cad and the Dandy on Saville Row are a great (newer ish) tailor. It's possible to get a £1'000 suit from them that is absolutely on par with a Zegna.
Great video for me as I'm looking to buy my first real suit. Thank you.
Off Topic: I haven't seen anything on this channel or your website, but do you have any tips for someone who wants to try a beard but grows in patches?
