    The double breasted jacket you have on is perfect, the texture is amazing and the overall chocolate brown colour with beige trouser is excellent.

      Thank you Aziz. The fabric is from W. Bills Lamlana Bunch (Angora 50%/Wool 50%). Lovely hand on the cloth.

    Agreed. When I started real estate when I was 19 years old many people at the office made fun of me for wearing such suits,but I felt amazing and could see many of the seasoned agents felt intiminated by me . I hardly knew what i was doing at the time ,yet anyone that met me and didn't know I just started thought I was a complete Boss

      That’s good question Ravishing Rick.
      I try to keep my entire wardrobe in a temperature controlled room. I also will occasionally beat them down quite literally with a stick to make sure there are no moths hiding in them.

    Question for ya, prof: would you urge against wearing a DB for someone in finance who is more of a junior position?

    • @AskOkeyInc
      @AskOkeyInc  Рік тому

      Hi Kelvin, it all depends. Generally speaking DB’s are viewed as more flamboyant. Hence may be frowned upon for a junior banker at a traditional white shoe firm.
      But properly done in a dark worsted color (navy/gray), it can be done.

      Hello Nanda. 4x1 is far more suited for a shorter man. The longer lapel line gives and illusion of height.

      YES Yifan, it is. You can wear a sweater vest under any coat (DB or SB) as an additional layer for warmth in the cooler seasons. Provided you don’t tuck the jumper into your trousers 😁
