    Thanks to the previous EBay videos, I’ve purchased a Richard James suit, a Peter Johnston suit, an Armani suit, and a vintage Polo Ralph Lauren suit, a vintage Burberry trench coat, and some great ties. This channel has really helped me build my wardrobe at an affordable price

    I think the service/knowledge of certain employees may vary but suitsupply in Stockholm has been my goto supplier for three years now. I took my measurements in the store, they are at my profile so now I create a design I like online, call the store, send any alterations from my profile to fit the style I want for that particular suit. Summer suits I want a more tapered fit, late autumn/winter suit I want a wider fit so I can wear my chelsea boots along with the suit etc, and I have always had great results by doing this.

  • @romanopeterj

    I just ordered a suit online from Spier & Macay. I went to a local tailor, had them do my measurements, then emailed S & Macay asking them about what size they would recommend. I also told them I have sloped shoulders and they recommended their Neopolitan cut suit. Once I receive it I will bring it to a local tailor to alter.

    I live in Japan, making jackets that fit off the rack hard to come by. I have an average build, but Hulk shoulders compared to the average Japanese build, so I end up buying XL jackets and having the chest taken in and length reduced just to get the shoulders wide enough.

    Keep up the good work Mr. Schneider. I like your presentation style very much; full of charm, informative, and with a touch of social warm. I like how you talk to your audiences. Mr. Centeno at RMRM, I couldn't stand watching him. Unlike you, Mr. Centeno talk at his audiences, I feel overwhelm/ under attack by his verbal bullets :) Also he always makes himself seem obviously like a man on a mission to sell you something (all that clothes and style yet the vibe is no different than a used car sale man, sad). Anyway, À votre santé and pleasant weekend ;)

I prefer a nice sport coat nowadays but I still have a Dark suit in my wardrobe whenever the occasion calls for it again if ever. Perhaps someday I'll invest in another. I also have a couple suit seperate jackets in Charcoal and Medium Grey Glen Plaid although I wish I would've gotten the charcoal as a full suit. I do have Wool Dress pants in Charcoal but they are lightweight so not really sure about pairing them together once in awhile.

    I think the biggest con is definitely being able to not feel the fabric I bought a suit off Amazon a long time ago for the purpose of a wedding and I paired a blue blazer that had a peak lapel that was black which I kind of liked even though you traditionally wear that with a tuxedo, With black pants that were Celvin Klein brand. Now it still looked OK but what happened was when I got the blazer in it was made from a fabric that was a bit more like those cloth bags that you would buy at the store to bring your groceries home in I still have it but I'm probably going to get rid of it when I have something to take its place, that's made from a better material that may be slightly more costly.
