Sometimes you get what you pay for, but other times you’re paying for hype (aka super cheap). In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro , and Ollie says if you can spot quality you can find super deals and detect items that are overpriced.
Quality Indicators
1. Highly finished jean cuff seams
2. YKK zipper
3. Durable polo seams
4. Details - take time and money
5. Fabric - how does it feel (soft, stretchy, doesn’t lose its shape)
6. Shoe leather and how the upper is attached to the sole
7. Dress shirt shoulder fabric is lined-up perfectly
8. Suit functioning button holes, kissing buttons, and pick stitching
9. Tee shirt collar
10. Explore different brands - and don’t fall into the mindset that expense or logos equate to high quality
I m a textile engineering student specialized in intelligent and technical textiles and i am impressed by the effort you put on your content. The tips you mentioned are pure gold. Besides, those details about the polo-finishing process are true because even in the biggest clothing industries, the quality control office disgard those flaws to work faster knowing that the quality and the prejudice of their brand will bypass them. i've been subscribed to your channel even before Tiege Hanley memes and i love your work!
Wow ur so inspiring to others
What about CP company garments?
MAYBE YOU SHOULD MORE OFTEN TO GO TO UK SHOPS AND CHECK QUALIT CONTROLE THERE...... MEN FASHION IS COMPLEATLY DIFFERENT THAN WOMAN DO YOU EVEN SEE MEN SEWING FOR WOMAN .... AND I DONT HAVE IN MIND BIG SHASHION HOUSES ..THEY DONT SEW THEY JUST DESIGN!!!!
AND BTW I DO NOT HAVE DEGREE IN FASHION BUT I DO WORK FOR DESIGNER AND MANUFACTURE OF THEM OWN BRANDS ....BIGEST IN MY COUNTRY ...... ENGLISH SO CALLED "FASHION"....... QUALITY OF SEWING SAME AS DESIGNERS.
My pants have YKk zipper, it's INR500
The YKK zipper thing you said has been a game changer for me! I'm seeing that most of my clothes/wearables that are not YKK show wear and tear easily or they are ill-fitting.
jeans - check seams at the cuffs
zippers - check YKK is written
shirts - check for loose seams
YKK are definitely the highest quality amongst common zippers. However, ri-ri zippers are heavy duty and even higher quality and appear on many designer pieces
Abraham Lange yes John Elliott for example
But how can we identify the genuineness of YKK.??
@@MathiA1212 usually there's marking on the puller and the sliders, and in general a brand would advertise using YKK zippers if they use it
Even if the zipper is ykk remember that it can be stitched improperly. Use it as an indicator of quality, not proof.
I got your point but please Calm down 😂😂😂
He doesn't know he is shouting..
Ikrrrr 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Feel the garment
Inspect the tailoring
Don’t Get Caught Up In Brand Names
Looking For The Details
I have been preaching this, but they said I shop like a woman *sigh*
He was wearing Nike Shoes
I worked for YKK as a salesman...it truly is the best and a sign of a quality garment. Also, Talon and Opti are quality zippers.
I went to check my jeans... Mine are all bad quality though its from zara h&m etc😂😂😂😂
You can come in Bangladesh.And buy some huge quality jeans at cheap.Our country provide H.M,Zara brand at 7$ (real)
@@rajon4633 i saw in youtube all zara h&m forever 21 are made in a local place bangladesh and then they sell. Like its made from the brand itself... How does it even happen.
In BD there are a lot of garments,you can collect real from garments.
Mine too .
And they're Lees
Oh no : (
When you feel the fabric you can tell the quality most times
More so after it is washed a few times.
Most new fabric contains a small amount of starch, to make it easier to cut accurately and machine. But when the item is washed, it should only be slightly softer. NOT shrink, stretch, or fall apart.
It can be quite difficult to tell the difference on items in the shop.
I'm glad you mentioned thrift shopping. There's definitely some great buys at a thrift store that is usually raising money for a charity and if you keep yourself in shape, there's plenty of great choices.
Why do people complain that he is shouting? He is speaking emphatically for charm/salesmen effect. It’s literally his brand. Post something original. He is speaking fine.
I love it. He's not so boring to send you to sleep. I think they are used to those old school class bores
We are complaining because it's annoying af
@@frankmcgonagle6143 hes italian that way we talk...
I do agree he is speaking energetic 🔥

The representation you give for us short-height folks is absolutely phenomenal. I'm 5'6 and always felt a little insecure/limited cause of my height. You, my man, are an inspiration and a fashion role-model.
im 6'4, look at the Brightside of things... you can drive a mazda miata and i cant. dude if your successful and fit... all that you can control and all that matters.
I agree paying extra dollars for good quality is fine but paying insane price for certain things like belts for example, I think that’s stupid
Well, a full grain leather belt (Best quality you can get in terms of leather, not genuine leather or some crap) is only like $20...
Urwah
I’ve seen belts with crazy prices and there is no difference between them and any other belt but the brand logo
It's up to you either pay for brand or pay for quality 😁 , quality with brands is something take out many bucks outa your pocket
Abdullah Naseer من الربع ؟
The problem with that argument is that you can end up being a little all fur coat and no nickers. Typically a person with an interest in the pursuit of aesthetic and quality will follow that in their whole outfit. I’m all for saying that a 200 dollar Gucci belt is silly, but a genuine leather belt with a clasp made properly may well cost 100, but you do tend to use them every day for years on end. It’s the same with socks, you can bash an expensive pair all you like and say no one sees them or they don’t matter right up until you put a real pair on made from fantastic materials and you think fuck me I got that wrong.
Do a thrift store shopping challenge! Like if you want to see this as well.
I'm in the UK , what's a thrift store ? Is it a second hand store ?
@@lastofthefamous2542 primark 😂
Last of the famous yea
ewww
he already did this before. go through his videos and you'll see it
Instead of complaining about how he shout....people adjust your volume
agree
It's the tone, not the volume..
Help me tell them
That moment your wardrobe is of low quality 🌚🤣🤣😭😭
Moment when u dont hav a wardrobe
Moment when u dont know what wardrobe is
Do you guys use wardrobe ?
What are they talking about...
Maybe be they are talking about the new bird..
How do you say warrbo#&&# ,, I can't even spell that thing..
All great, but why are you shouting?
yeah its really annoying. like a little dwarf that is often overlooked he screams and screams x.X
Didn't you know?
He is Scotty Kilmer's son..
That's the reason why I'am not watching his videos but I just klicked on this one without knowing that this is him.
Meet me candy
It's calling lecture 😋😊😋😊
Alpha is a kind of M. who dreams of high-quality clothes in his sleep and wakes up writing script on "how to help masses getting them". Love you Aaron for providing these imp. pieces of information. Nobody does that. You're a kind soul. Thank you and Keep educating us and making more of these informative videos.@alpha m.
Look for multiple signs
Found YKK zippers but cut corners everywhere else
The odd thread hanging is no big deal, just snip it off unless the stitching isn't finished
Then politely return the item to the shelf and look elsewhere
Have found some great stuff at clearance stores - good quality and less $
Hey Alpha! I really appreciate the helpful recommendations and sponsorships you do. They’re genuinely beneficial to what I’m looking for, like haha, tapered quality black pants
You can definitely get quality for cheap! Hit up the thrift store!
This was such a good video! Even though it was sponsored, it was very pleasant and not over the top. Please keep these types of videos coming alpha!
Awesome tips! I did always turn my clothes inside out looking for defects but now I look for features… thanks!
One of my favorite videos you've posted lately. Lots of useful info!
There's a brand I'm a huge fan of, Kala clothing; and their t-shirts are a bit on the pricey side but the quality is bar none. I've had 3 of their shirts for about 2 years now. Still buttery soft, no seams coming undone, and the fit is perfect.
Just goes to show, quality over everything.
My dc shoes hoodie comes with ykk zipper so that means that its high quality hoodie
Hey man, just subscribed, love the yelling(!) the enthusiasm is how I know your speaking from the heart, and I’m super hyped to hear another man of quality give a shout out to thrifting when one is caught between rocks and hard places because, like you said if it’s made it there it’s lasted and there are instances where the prior owner has died and is doing some spring cleaning and will donate top line threads. Big ups love what your doing.
I like your shouting way to explain the quality. well done
It'd be great to have a list of "quality" brands for us online shoppers. Any such resources?
I don't even care about topic, just wanted to see and hear my man alpha 💜
Shouting made me more concentrate like a news channel 😆
A video about maintaining clothing would be an interesting idea, such as using bare wooden shoe trees in your shoes to maintain their shape and drain moist, proper ironing of shirts, storing suits, swapping shoes and suits to let them breathe after use etc.
Aaron, you are truly brilliant. Amazing enthusiasm and best sales man ever. Costing me a fortune though, as I've got new shirts, soft leather jacket, boots etc (with better tighter fitting), but worth it, as I needed to get out of my comfort zone. You are truly the man, and I LOVE your videos. Cheers!!
You guys have never seen NAPTOL sales rt??
I think he has!!🤭😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:58. Bro I never bought jeans over $35. Then again my $10 jeans are falling apart now.
Thank you alpha m. for putting such effort in providing us a quality content. It helps me a lot in picking clothes next time.
That moment when you stumble upon beautiful, soft merino wool sweaters at H&M and buy one of every color because you can't believe your luck. It was probably the one item in the store that I would have actually gladly paid more for than they were charging. Every now and then you find a steal and get super lucky in the low-cost stores. It's definitely the exception and not the rule, though.
Who else just looked at the stitching of the jeans you're wearing?😂
Me
Speaking of high quality clothing; Can you do a video on Hype Beast clothing?
Or do a collab with a sneaker UA-camr?, a example could be Harrison Nevel, based on Atlanta. You have said it before that you need to up your sneaker game!!
Great content as always!!
He won't do a video about something he has no idea about
david rancaño He said he used to like sneakers. He still knows some things, but mostly for performance usage.
Hype Beast is the poster boy for low quality for high price. Just because its hyped. Most of its ugly too.
I don't think many of us would enjoy watching a video about that(I centrally wouldn't), that kind of urban style is the opposite of what the type of style his channel is focused on. I find Hype Beast to be tacky, overpriced and ridiculous looking in general, something that if you're over the age of 25(I assume most of this channel's audience actually is) you shouldn't wear. Check Jose Zuniga's channel is you're into that kind of stuff, his channel and its content is focused more on style for younger people. My two cents.
Alpha male > hype beast
I usually don't like your videos too much but I think this is best video of yours I ever watched/ your best creation. Without any product promotion makes it even better.
Because of this video... I found out that my $40 gap jeans are higher quality than my $180 I crew jeans. Awesome
Razor Ultra yeah thoes levis are really bad here i got all of them at store for full price too guess where i ll never come to any more lol
@@liamvivo4270 You don't like levis?
This video is seriously good thank you alpha 🙂
Fuck you
Your Video has been helping me from about 2-3 months 😍❤️
For zippers: Riri, Mas italia, YKK vislon. For denim: chain stitching, bartack stitching, selvedge fabric.
MY HM suit has working cuff buttons, those dimpled stitchings on the lapels, and matching patterns. It even has fancy paisley silky linings. None of the points mentioned here are signals of "high quality" but rather "value".
excellent video and I have to say, finally something new and original coming from you alpha m.. We'd love to see more videos like this!
The suggestion won't be seen mostly but .. what about guest starring some youtubers on the next season of alpha m project? Maybe Alex Costa can present an episode during the season, José in the next one.. would be a nice twist to have them as a second guest to shake things up.. but well
I am just glad Alpha didnt start talking about the quality of Vincero craftmanship, great video btw.
Hey. Awesome video but why are you shouting?
Cuz he wants to show confident, but i think i dont like it
hahahahaha
Ілона Олійник fragile masculinity is what is it 😌
I think because he is very passionate about his job. You have to lower the volume.
Fucking gold😂🤣
I agree with you in terms of Public Reck as i own the exact same grey hanley for 3months now..and im loving it
By the way, YKK is Japanese company.
YKK, the Japanese zipper behemoth, makes roughly half of all the zippers on earth. ...
Founded by Tadao Yoshida in Tokyo in 1934, YKK stands for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha
(which roughly translates as Yoshida Company Limited).
This is by far and away my favourite of your videos, truly helpful on many levels
I'm prepared for the mall now. Lit!
Hey Brother you are the good
i m from indain and india loves you
thanks brother you do a great job ....😍
Whatever you say,
They bought from OEMs(Bangladesh,China) at 50 dollar and sell in USA at 200 dollar.
50? More like 5$.
@@TheFourthWinchester Agreed
@@TheFourthWinchester What? I didn't get it...
Nope they buy it from Bangladesh for $8-$12 and sell that at $80-$200
It's crazy😵
Wow, those interior seam differences are eye opening.
This has got to be one of the best videos you have done lately!
Ykk are the most commonly used zippers. Riri are a sign of high quality.
Dylan Dearinger Ykk are common for jeans fly zipper but if they are used in a jacket or bag they cost a lot more. So they are a sign of quality that the company actually thought about the zippers rather than throwing no name zips. Riri on the other hand is a clear sign of premium high fashion so is Lampo and Talon. If they used those they spent more than they needed to so you can expect everything else to be premium as well as a high price tag. An example would be John Elliott he only uses riri and you can see the price reflects that.
Nice info bro.
Shouting is disturbing.
Like a cheap marketing act.
sampath. k hahaha...😂😂😂
It’s working. Seen his house?
I have a hollister cotton tee for more than 5 years.
Still soft, thin and breathable yet it doesnt show any sign of wear. And it looks good even when worn alone.
10/10 would recommend.
Thanks for the video. I learned a lot. But one thing I knew even while growing up - look for the YKK zipper. :)
#1. It doesnt say Supreme.
Meh, supreme has much better quality than most high street brands
@@fredk6992 and a good way to waste your money
Best
Not all supreme are bad quality, I wear work pants everyday, my supreme work pants outlast dickies, supreme heather grey T-shirts, I have about 20 shirts I rotate it everyday to work on cars and warehouse work for 12-15yrs, they are still in great condition. Not everyone buys supreme for its name.
F*CK T SERIES unless u pay retail, or just buy supreme stuff that aren’t limited like their boxers
If you see Drake wearing Supreme, it must be quality.
No it doesnt “is this sarcasm”
@@biasbuddy2122 yes
who"s drake?
@@georgej8254 😂😂😂
I immediately checked all my jeans, although all of them were branded, only one had stitching like one shown by you but it didn't have YKK zipper. Rest which didn't have proper stitching from inside, all of them have YKK zippers.
3:37 Look at that reaction
bro dissing H&M now i remember when he promoted them..haha
Love the last one. Logos don't mean it is high quality
I love all these tips. The shoe one I have known but is there any way you can tell if a tennis shoe is quality or you are just paying for the name? If so, can you please release a video on how to tell this.
Great videos! You've helped me a lot. I'm new manager in Charity Shop in London. To price everything fair, I need to learn more about the brands, recognize high end clothing, fakes etc. I absolutely love your videos, thank you and good luck :)
5:50 ad ends
Alpha your da only shoppin buddy I need & I save time for da nicer things in Life 🤘🏼😎
When you described the patterns on the shirts your voice volume was perfect. Please keep it like that.

Great info but hard to listen to because of the shouting.
Stacy-Ann Lindsay was he not loud enough?
It's lame!! he is not shouting 1 or two people felt that and now you are copying their comments.
When you said h&m I thought you were talking about Hudson and Mane XD
Good information. Nowadays people like to shop all brands things. For me, the cheapest price and good quality is just enough
Your best video in a while, super informative! More like this please
This video will definitely get me the spicy señoritas! Great video:)

Lisa Ebene that was deep
I changed the quality of video it stopped streaming ohhh poor network Airtel ..and my mom sat beside me got headache of your voice hrrrr hoow drrrr
Fabric quality depends on the GSM of fabric. Quality of the yarn is also important for the quality of the fabric. For eg. In cotton yarn Mercedised gased combed cotton is and also count of cotton yarn are important.
Interesting tips but why wasn't anything mentioned about the fabric itself, e.g. if the polo is made from Wool or Acrylic fiber? This makes a big difference not only on how it feels on the skin. But also if it warms you or not.
Plz make a video about Bangladesh fabric. u know World 2nd largest garments Exporter is Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Most of the brands he talked about produces their garments in Bangladesh. So, this video goes for Bangladesh as well. You'll find greater quality & cheaper price than most local brands if you know where to look ;)

Goodfellow brand jeans have YKK Zippers and the finish down the leg, along with chain stitching on the inside of the hem. They’re literally anywhere from $22-$33 dollars. I don’t think price has much to do with it, even George jeans from Walmart have YKK zippers and they’re less than $20. Brands just seem to pick and choose what they want to do with the jeans no matter what the price is. Levi’s are more expensive and don’t even have any of those features, they don’t use YKK zippers , cheaper stitching down the leg, hem isn’t chain stitched. Companies are weird like that. 🤷🏻♂️
Surprisingly that Uniqlo denim jeans check out all the tips you had mentioned. Their airism t shirts are Super comfortable and with good finishing. And they are inexpensive as well~ good for tropical weather 👍🏻
