I remember years ago, I used to watch this channel. I knew this will be one of the best menswear channel but the audio and videography was frankly not good. I rediscovered the channel and I am so happy that everything have improved! Congratulations and your hardwork is greatly appreciated!
I have never in my life heard anyone describe (and quite so eloquently) the purpose of a shirt. It's just something you took for granted and never considered a definition or purpose were necessary. Thanks again PROFF!
Why does this channel not have at least a million subscribers?! The level of information here is top-notch. Also, The quality of presentation is superb. Well-done, proff.
This so much better than many of the other so called fashion experts YT. I’m thinking of one that promotes shirts that are 100% polyester shirts and performance suits.
Proff is single-handedly bringing back true positive masculinity and class. Every young man needs Okey as his dad/grandad! Confident (without arrogance), educational (without condescension) and honest (without malice).
Hello Mr. Proff. Very good video, very interesting. Thank you. May you talk more about the different cloth, the weaving types, weights and the seasonal aspects. Great video, like every time. Greetings from Germany.
This so really Original, creativity at an optimal height. We get ourselves dressed up in all sorts what we consider as fashionable albeit cluelessly. Prof. Thank ever so much and more grease to your elbow. Guys let's learn to dress well while knowing exactly what clothes we're wearing. Stay easy.
Proff, I’m relatively new to your channel. Thank you so much for the Master Class on shirts. I’ve finally learned what a shirt really is. I look forward to learning more.
One problem with the armhole being cut high is that it may restrain your arm movement when your latisimus dorsi/teres major muscles are flexed. Usually when you try to reach forward. If you train and order bespoke shirts and suits, make sure that won't be a problem when they're taking your measures.
As a rock climber, I have to stress this a lot and the tailor/measurer doesn't believe me until I flex them forward and pop the top 3 pins they put into the mock jacket. It does in fact, get old and I wish they would just listen. The skinny fit crap the younger employees try to push is just atrocious to have to fight against every time.
Thank you for another great segment. You mentioned Brooks Brothers. They used to source their shirts from Gitman Brothers. Gitman is still in business but I believe all (or nearly all) BB shirts are sourced overseas.
BB oxfords are still made in USA, but the price had increased significantly and and the last batch I purchased circa 2021 were of noticeably poor quality.
I loved the video and all the insights about the shirts, the “levels” of quality and price and also the tips! I live in a tropical country and will invest more in linen shirts just to be more fresh while wearing jackets during the day. Thank you Proff
Sir excellent video on shirts with bespoke MTM fabric and fit as well appreciate your thorough detailed description of how to my the best choices for your own personal style as always thanks for the tremendous efforts you put into each video!
This is excellent content! Even your overview is more detailed than other resources that claim to be comprehensive and authoritative. I also appreciate the insight into the upper end of fine menswear, minus the pretence. More people should be paying attention. In any case, keep up the excellent work, Proff!
I agree with you with respect to pocket on a shirt. With the exception of a guayabera I don’t have pockets on any of my shirts. I also agree with the fabrics of shirts. A shirt should be either cotton or linen. A shirt should never be polyester.
Thank you Molach. Indeed those are cashmere stripes. The aim was to replicate a “Stroller”. However I don’t have a black coat so I went with a Navy Coat. Are you following us on Instagram? @askokeyig Welcome to AskOkey PROFF
14:43: Usually, when people reference _"Pandora's Box,"_ they do so as a way to imply they don't wish to go into the subject any further. But my man Okie says it then dives in head-first, fearlessly saying _"so let's start from the top."_ There's nothing within the realm of style this man can't handle like a pro.
@@AskOkeyInc The video titled "Explore the World of Shirts with the PROFF" is part two, correct? One more question, Sir, as I did not acoustically catch what you said at that portion of the video: If one is able to get into the collar with one finger, is this OK size-wise or is the collar too loose if one can get in with one finger? Thank you for your help.
Is your navy hopsack DB jacket here the 500gr Fearnought or the 400gr? I am considering whether to go for the full suit (since I can wear them as separates if I wish) or the lone odd jacket and, as you know, this choice determines the fabric on the site.
Hello Rulia. This Navy cloth (400 grams) is a “one-off” Hopsack by London Lounge Cloth Club. However we have something very similar in the FEARNOUGHT bunch (about 450-475 grams) My guys have been trying to reach you to set up a meeting as you requested on our website. Thank you PROFF
Linen is good shirt material but it gets crushed very easily and pure linen is bit expensive for our Market so I prefer 60 60 high twist cotton or Oxford and in winter I prefer tusser and satinfinish cottons that serve dual purpose party and formal Sir your take
Amazing content, you obviously know what you are talking about. But the longer videos - because your reels/shorts are doing really good - are still a bit too slow-paced. What would help is background music or more dynamic visuals accompanying the spoken information, which means either more post-editing or just more sceneries and requisites for one video. Just my honest opinion. What you are putting effort into is great🕴️

I hate to say this but I have to because you do a lot of talking and you're talking about the shirts about how it fits the face but I can't get a visual unless you take the jacket off to me you're interrupting your conversation with the the coat on the coldest distracting me from what you're talking about and I need to have a visual thank you okay also when you're talking about the shirt if your light skin what is the best color shirt to wear I'm supposed to someone that's dark skinned I am Italian but I'm medium complexion I'm not dark I'm not light I'm like an olive complexion

This is by far the best menswear channel on YT. Really authentic
he teaches more about the abstract ideas and reasoning rather than these outspoken "fashionistas" thats for sure haha
This guy speaks elegance
So impressive. For 50 plus years, a shirt was just shirt. A under laying to cover my upper body from my jacket. Never looked at it with such depth.
Now you do Sir 😁

How much shirt cuff should be showing from under a suit jacket?
Nice presentation Sir and very elegant cut
Outstanding in every way!
How tight do you like your wrist cuffs? Should they slup over hand buttoned or should you have to unbutton to put on/take off?
An excellent video, thank you. Are those cashmere stripe formal trousers for morningwear? They look great with a navy jacket

Welcome aboard AskOkey 😁
What should be the perfect length of the jacket?
Melwyn, it should cover your seat and crotch. The rest is up to you …
Should one wear a tee-shirt or singlet under a shirt? I prefer the former. And should this be taken into account when being measured up?
Proff love me sum you Sir,, I have learned so much from you,, I gleefully appreciate you, I feel as if I am your Padawan,, Star Wars reference!!💥💥💥
Thank you for the knowledge...
With great pleasure Shauna 😁
What color pants would you suggest to go with that greenish sport jacket you have in the back?
Hello Proff ! You have recommended lighter shirts. I personally enjoy pure black ones, can they work ?
Thank you for the advice.
You are most welcome.
@AskOkey do you have a preference in storing your pieces? Specific hangers? Dust covers/suit bags?

Proff what do you say about Safari Suits? I have been waiting for a video about this.
What's funny is this man drips on the competition far greater than any of the kids these days.

Hi Askokey, could you please list the Shirt brands Name.

Linen is good shirt material but it gets crushed very easily and pure linen is bit expensive for our Market so I prefer 60 60 high twist cotton or Oxford and in winter I prefer tusser and satinfinish cottons that serve dual purpose party and formal Sir your take
That’s right Jagpreet.
I reserve linen strictly for the unbearable part of summer

Why wearing pant up to the chest
Hard to believe that this consideration for clothing used to be THE NORM for men.
Okey, I find your jackets a bit long by atleast 2" if not more,whether two button or double breasted. Gives you a long barrel like look.
