Fantastic that you're not shy of the full-cut trousers and the lengthier jacket. The drape this affords is pure elegance. Thank you!
TELL EM’ Sean 😁
It’s quite unfortunate most grown men have no idea what a tailored suit ought to look like
Welcome aboard
PROFF
@@AskOkeyInc What's unfortunate is that most grown man in the industry can't understand that times are changing and people are looking for up to date look that fits current standards of beauty and style. Just like when they were developing that English drape or American Sack style - they also criticized the outdated cuts that came before. You can of course choose to be stuck in a certain point in history but that doesn't mean everyone else is wrong, given the fact that we're living in 2020's, and not in 1930's. It's just nostalgia and inability/unwillingness to adapt, nothing more. Argument that you're making could as well be used for ancient Roman garments or any ethnic clothing anywhere in the world, promoting them as a pinnacle of fashion. Get over it.
@@yohatch you sound insecure about the fact that theres a difference between timeless elegance and your poor taste in fashion which changes with whatever your favorite rapper is wearing.
@@chelo4197 Timeless elegance? We know exactly when they style came into fashion, don't speak about "timeless". Fashion changes, always has, always will. There are no timeless pieces, everything has it's limited period of appeal. If you choose to wear a certain style, that's your choice, but making it a standard of style for entire world, for all cultures and all generations is simply nonsensical, egoistical and narrow-minded. I don't wear what my favorite artists are wearing. I wear what I like. I also don't make shallow judgements about someone's style and habits based on yt comments. I guess there are certain things English drape can't fix.
@@yohatchwell said. The problem with drape is that it simply looks bad, even if it is of the highest quality.
Excellent video Sir. I am a black American man that was around in the 80's during the, "Designer Jeans" era. I have an athletic build. I could not wear jeans from every designer. Many just were not cut for my build. It was during that time that I learned the lesson in your video. Same holds true for hair styles. Not everyone has the head shape, hair line, etc for every style. I'm forwarding this video to my son. He's 21 years old and finding his style. He loves to be well dressed, groomed and good smelling. I'm finding great value in your videos and I look forward to new ones. Your information is greatly appreciated and helpful. Please continue to put them out. God bless!
All very good observations and very well out sir

I sell European cut ready mades and MTM. Really interesting to hear this breakdown. Thank you. We squeeze big guys into slim fits. Because that is what the market wants especially the wives. Your videos have made me realise we should offer a drape cut.
@@otorhora6537
Forget what the wives want... SHOW THEM that they're wrong.
I'm sure that you know, we feel our best when we look our best...
Of course everyone has a different build... It'd be wonderful if you could offer the three "standards"... A modern Slim style, a classic Drape style and the "traditional American" Sack style.
Being RTR or MTM, they'd be fairly easy to modify slightly, to better suit each customer's body type.
Cheers!

Finally, a man who understands how suits used to be cut. Think Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Clark Gable and famous actors from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Suits are meant to be elegant with proper handwork, not some form-fitting garment you see today. Trousers are meant to be cut high at the waist and fall onto the dress shoe or boot. That is proper draping of fabric. Can have suits made from amazing textile mills and you can't show off the fabric if the suit fits like athletic wear.

The movement has begun and I'm here for it. As a young boy I would sit on my mother's lap as she pressed on the Singer paddle. Fashion is in my genes. With that said, I feel some sort of way about the Sack and Drape name attributed to American male designs. Surely you remember Willy Smith of Willy Wear fame who gave the world the deconstruction loose fitting suits and jackets. Bill Blass and Perry Ellis were other Americans making the roomier clothes because they concluded the average American is not a David or Adonis and needs room for his paunch belly. We learned that a man shouldn't wear clothes that either look like he couldn't afford enough fabric or like it's inherited from a far bigger parent or relative. So perhaps the middle ground is to have both. You have a follower here and keep up the great work. Just stood up for American designers and fit men who don't want to Drape and Sack.😊
Thank you Steady for the beautiful story 😁

Great video!! Love the valid criticism of tailor shops today. I will say that bigger and taller guys CAN wear closely fitted Italian suits but the tailor will need to know how to modify the base pattern to suit the proportions. This is what separates a good tailor from a great one.
If you’re a BIGGER fellow, Why not just go for a generous CUT rather than play “hide and seek” with the body line?
What a boss, even if I haven't thought of buying a suit in the near future, I'm so glad UA-cam recomended me this channel. So interesting to hear a true master of his craft!

I really like drape and fuller cuts, especially when it comes to how the trousers look. I’ve just always associated it with elegance so I often have trouble figuring out how to nail this tailoring style with casual wear.
ABSOLUTELY Christophe 🔥
Most men grapple with fit. They mistake tight clothes for fit
PROFF
Excellent point about the tailor being good at making the suit but few have an eye for design.
I have had so many suits and jackets that are uncomfortable to wear even though it was made for me.
Another point is that they are always in a such a hurry to move on to the next customer, that the process feels rushed.
I’ve said this many times Tim. And I wish it put on record …
Many tailors are POOR ARCHITECTS but good ENGINEERS
They have NO EYE for BALANCE, PROPORTION and SILHOUETTE
These things are quite different from CUTTING and SEWING.
On the contrary, I’ve seen many bespoke garments from Saville Row which fit quite well (good tailoring) but look horrible on the wearer
PROFF
I'm a beginner dapper fashion fan. I'm from Europe, but i have always liked american sack suits more, they're extremely comfortable.

Hello Sir,
I do appreciate your videos a lot, I had a couple of shorts recommended on my fyp, and I must say I haven't been disappointed.
As a Cameroonian woman living in Cameroon, Bespoke garments are very out of reach for me but I like to think I'll own a couple in time.
I do love suits and I've been investing in my wardrobe a lot over the years. I've been working with the same tailor for well over a decade now and the creation of one piece (whatever it may be) is usually a long wait period and an insane amount of backs and forths. Your videos are very insightful and I'm happy I came accross them because I'll be able to communicate with my tailor better.
Ps. My tailor is a sweetheart, I love her because she always listens to me and she delivers always.
Thank you so much.

I used to hate the baggy suit aesthetic from the 80s-90s, but after adopting a more loose vintage laidback (slightly elegant) fashion sense, I think *if the fit is right,* a little bag wouldn’t hurt anybody.
I still prefer the decorative and fitted suits of the European Victorian era - the American 1950s, but baggy suits ain’t all that bad… IF it’s done tactfully in all the right places.
Jacob,
We must learn to properly distinguish a BAGGY suit from the DRAPE CUT
The DRAPE CUT is a well shaped garment cut to accommodate lots of room and a full range of motion
The problem as it see it is that men in this age have seen nothing but TIGHT DIVING SUITS. And so anything that does not STICK TO THE SKIN looks BAGGY
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
PLEASE SEE THE FULL VIDEO for more detail on the DIFFERENCE between BAGGY and DRAPE CUT
ua-cam.com/video/Eo6QZsOvSDQ/v-deo.htmlsi=QpUQeTVUP3FScysk
PROFF
It's not baggy, it's how clothing used to be tailored. It's actually more comfortable and elegant for a man's appearance. You will never hear a man today say a suit is comfortable, and that's because they're cut so near the body range of motion is limited. A proper, traditional fitting suit you can wear all day without issue. But that art form is endangered with modern fast-fashion.

It occurred to me many young men don't know the basics, like how to tie a regular tie, let alone tie a bow tie.

This channel randomly appeared on my UA-cam shorts and now I cant stop watching them 🙌
I was a slim suit guy when I was slim. Although that was nearly a decade ago. I’ve tried looking for a balance such as a semi loose style because like you said the slim fit really doesn’t lend itself well to thicker or muscular frames. That was my natural evolution because of experience but I believe you are spot on.
ABSOLUTELY David 💯
Nothing wrong with slim suits but be sure it’s suited to your frame

Hello Okey, this is such a wonderful service that you are offering. However, i have lived in England for a number of years . My suits wrer made in London.

I have learned in the last ten years of wearing suits daily, that the suit is a FUNCTIONAL garment. It was THE ONLY garment any Western man would wear for centuries. It must be functional. I have also learned that I began my journey at a mere 120 lbs, and 6'2". I am no nearly 200 and not all good weight. I have learned to adapt my style to match my build. And the drape cut is fantastic. I cannot and would not wear the close cuts of the old custom suits I had made. I grew very tired of struggling simply to tie my shoes. I started to realize this after I bought a bespoke suit from the 1970s. It was clearly designed for movement and action. The flare of the trouser is not achieved with tightness through the thigh, but proper drape when standing elegantly. The high armholes fit my thin arms and allow me so much range of movement, but the drape of the chest and full coat seat make me look quite thin through the waist. I was extremely fortunate to find this piece, as the only difference between myself and the gentleman who had it made 50 years ago is that my torso is about 1/4" longer.
Heavier weights, proper canvasing, proper drape. My latest pieces are very flattering, and give me the appearance of a thin waist, but more powerful chest (all lies of course).

Fascinating. It's refreshing to hear the truth about these styles and tendencies where there is too much focus on the country of origin and/or the house style of such and such tailoring house. A perfect example of bad fit is Daniel Craig insistence on slim fitting suits for his role as Bond which makes him look like a stuffed sausage in many of his last Bond movies. The worst was his pink Anderson and Shepard velvet suit he wore for a U.S. gala after his last Bond movie which was atrocious! A&S should be ashamed of letting him out the door looking like that!
Please let’s leave Daniel Craig out of this.

Welcome sir 😁
As often is with things, the midway through can be the best of both worlds. I learnt that the drape cut is shaped like an Italian suit but as comfortable as an American and that is great indeed: after all, clothes have to be worn and fit the body otherwise it's a pain to use them for ceremonies and such 😂
The drape suit is shaped VERY differently than an Italian suit. It's almost the polar opposite it terms of structure and shape.
The Drape cut uses structure, sufficient room and proportions to create shape around the body.
The Italian cut conceals as little as possible, which is unflattering for most mens' physique.
I could listen to you for hours.
So true about tailors putting down the suit you're wearing. Hair stylists do this too. "What shampoo do you use?... Oh dear, that's one of the worst ones."

Impeccably dressed, wonderfully articulate..beautiful speaking voice . But how to dress the heavier man (typical unfit person), or older man, or of limited means might be in order. Thanks for your content.
Will address this in a future segment Uke

Really enjoy your content.
I personally prefer the English drape in tweed with the double breasted waistcoat (actual waistcoat not "hip coat")
Also prefer the french cuff shirt with a high club collar (attached or detachable) and really like the ruche ties even though many consider them a bit too fancy.
I've also been known to go full formal kilt with sheriffmuir doublet and waistcoat with lace jabot and cuffs
I do wish I lived more convenient to an actual bespoke shop. Best I can do is an off the rack suit and have it tailored for me.
There are tailor shops here but they are just technicians and don't make full bespoke suits.
You always have such great information concerning suits and proper cut and such. I'd be interested to hear your take on formal Highland wear.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Formal Highland Wear? Please elucidate 😁
I believe as a beginner to bespoke that a bespoke suit should be designed for the individual. I guess it’s because I like designing because my body as a female stop fitting ready to wear and I like certain styles, but I know that I have to design a look s that it fits my body and looks good on my frame. I do this by making the Bess art adjustments in design keeping my body frame in mind.
Very good point my dear 😁
Beautiful cut I might be coming off the European cut, I feel like I'm being converted
Believe me Jason, once you try the DRAPE CUT (Trousers or Jacket), there’s ABSOLUTELY NO GOING BACK to anything else …
