Absolutely , I don't have any Saville row suits , but do have a couple of bespoke buoys and several coats , once you have worn something made by really fit you , you will be amazed, and the button through cuffs really add a lot to the coats !
I love that windowpane pattern. I'm gonna get a bespoke suit tailored by him in probably 2 months, can you please tell me what mill did that fabric come from because i want to get something from the collection... with all the love from Indonesia :)
Love Jeff banks clothes and my wedding suit was a three piece JB with shirt & tie. I've worn mostly JB for over 10 years now and I'm sure in the next 10 as well 👍
I love it and want one! However I am going to Hong Kong in a couple of months and will get a suit made there, maybe more.I can't see any final figure for the cost of the suit.
The tailoring is perfect, but the pattern you chose for the fabric is too daring for my taste. But if you like it, you'll make it look great on you, so kudos anyway.
In fact I do like it. It really is daring, but I guess thats the point of making a bespoke suit. Buying a plain suit from the rack is not a mayor task, but choosing every single detail is a decision I highly respect, and I‘m pretty sure he enjoys his suit to this day, as it is a timeless design.
I had to do a double take Did the break pad on the car match the older gentlemen socks 💖💖🤗🤗💖💖also how he was able to display the sliver watch by the way he was standing at the end He have so much confidence, I was already in for the ride Jeff Banks👏👏👏
I could not tell if it was amazing job but I could see the difference between a bespoke suit and off the rack. This felt off the rack. I could be wrong and I probably am.
Hi Dee, thanks for your comment. Dark brown would look great and I know that Jeff Banks offers a wide range of different fabrics and colours. Great choice of footwear too!
stupid question. I thought black shoes with a navy suit was a huge "no-no?" Shouldn't they be some sort of brown? I know nothing about wearing a proper suit though, lol
The suit looks fantastic,but may I ask why you decided to have a waistcoat with it? A double breasted jacket tends to be warmer because of the extra layer of fabric across your stomach, and secondly, you should always have it buttoned. Aren't you worried you will overheat whilst also wearing an insulating waistcoat? It does look great though.
Hi Neil, thank you for your comment. It was simply to show off what is on offer from Jeff Banks Savile Row but to also allow for some versatility of wear. I'm able to wear the jacket and trousers in cooler weather of exchange the jacket for the waistcoat in warmer weather. Or perhaps wear the waistcoat and trousers under a heavy coat.
I think it is wonderful in every respect. Of course a suit like this can only be worn once in a while or they will call you "one suit Sammy" for a good laugh. A wonderful H. Lesser medium gray two piece would be your next purchase, I would think.
It reminds me of my days in England, back in 1979-1984 before my return to Hong Kong. Fish n chips.... Steak n kidney pie.. A pint of Lager.. Please. Old England.
really liked that vid.... problem is, that video uploaded 3 years back....expect to see more english suit contents from you... im siam btw...was in london for 7 years at the time when a boy become a man.... currently doing lifestyle contents in bangladesh.... you might not see a lot of videos in my channel as im working on 56 videos where i will be discussing corporate fashion to the corporate guys of my country.... well, hope to see more from you and... best regards mr. eldred......
While the contrast stitching is already dubious from a truly bespoke point of view, to recommend to leave one button unbuttoned ‘in order to attract attention’ is absolutely not done. A true gentleman would never draw attention to his suit in this manner - the suit should speak for itself. (Not to mention that nowadays one can find plenty off the rack suits where the cuff buttons can be undone).
A part from the delightfully eccentric choice of material for the suit, the side flap and the centre back panel 'pulls out' terribly as you can see at 2:45 and the flaps pull out sideways. I hope is the mike at the back under the suit but... maybe not.
I am looking to get my first bespoke suit, I was wondering what it a typical price for a high quality suit maker like Jeff Banks costs? High quality is worth the cost. Just curious on where i should be looking for price wise.
6k is standard for a finished suit. Is it worth it? If you are very well off, sure. Otherwise get your ass to Suit Supply and get a decently made, well fitting MTM piece for $600.
The waistcoat was added simply to show viewers what the options are. It adds versatility too so that you can wear the trousers and waistcoat without the jacket and maybe under a heavy winder coat. Or just the jacket and trousers. While rules are made to be broken I wouldn't necessarily wear the three pieces all at once other than for this video.
The finish of the jacket is a bit terrible/ off/ not look appealing to the eye. I respect your taste and choice but I wonder if you find it really that comfortable, especially when you sit down. It is a custom suit/ Bespoke so small details really do matters. 2:43 pause and look at the details of your suit compare to Jeff Bank's. Detail analysis and rationale as follow: 1. Good job on length of Jacket (0:16 play it at slow speed, it does fall more or less on the middle of the length of your thumb, so you get the right proportion considering your height). Walter Sickinger rationale is wrong. However do not get a waistcoat if you're planning on getting double breasted suit, because it takes much space of your waist and it does not look that visible 2:50/ 2:57 and it looks to bulky for you 0:16/ 0:17 like a stiff robot. If you feel cold, get an overcoat (camel colour is nice). A three piece suit will always contain a single-breasted jacket with trouser and a waistcoat. In this ways, the waistcoat will be clear, visible and appealing to the eye more because a single-breasted jacket leave/ exposed more space of your waist/ body 0:03 and I like your tie bar. 2. Jacket fit is a bit tight, look at the side vent, it does not look good when it drapes down. Look at Jeff Bank's 0:14, side vent drapes nicely. This is because probably of the waistcoat. I am assuming that the waistcoat (fitting and measurement) was there as an information for the audience. I suggest take it out and wear the waistcoat with other suit/ blazer (ex. blue single-breasted suit/ blazer/ or the one you wear 0:01 :D ) with white chino or plain light grey (flannel) trouser looks nice. 3. The peak lapel should be broader because you have a broader shoulder (get a right proportion). And so the button stance is too high. 4. 0:04, you can spot as you walks that the trouser length is a couple inch too long and doesnt move nicely as you walk. it should be a couple inch shortened (usually a break). 2:42 the way the trouser drapes does not look good compare to Jeff Bank's, it should be tapered a bit perhaps. The point of having a break is so you can show your socks (small/ large detail matters) like Jeff Bank's did 0:16/ 2:40. I have been through the situation of wearing a poor fitted suit myself, and was shame getting laughed by my clients/ colleagues :( But my personal tailors at Hackett and SuitSupply [the store is there across Gieves & Hawkes and left side of Pickett 0:21 :D ] taught me well :) I am not sure if this is your taste/ choice or that Jeff Banks himself do not advised you. Considering the finish of the jacket, it requires a bit more adjustment. This is a good video nonetheless consider the upside and downside.
Thank God someone else commented, Jeff Bank's suit looks so much better here 2:42 is definitely where you can see the difference. In short for me it was that the pants are too long, the coat looks too tight and makes you look like a robot. I feel you can feel it too, that little bit of discomfort. I've been there before with a tailor suit that was too tight at the top.
Great series of videos, every entertaining. I love the check pattern. However, correct me if I'm wrong, you shouldn't wear a waistcoat to a double breasted jacket.
Hi AJ, thanks for getting in touch. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the videos. I wanted to get a waistcoat so that I was able to wear the two piece without the jacket in warmer weather, it just adds some versatility to the way in which you can wear the suit.
Something looks very off with the fitting around the chest . I feel it's too wide and makes the suit look unbalanced. Should have taken it in below the arm holes and also widened the lapels slightly to close the void of space that currently sits between the lapels and the edges of the chest/arms
Not bad at all. Things I would be wary of: if you have a waistcoat and a jacket, show the waistcoat off. This is regardless of the jacket being double or single breasted. Always leave the last button on the waistcoat open as you did but don't do it with the cuffs. Lovely suit and make sure you don't wear black with blue! That goes for the tie and the shoes/belt. Blue's match is brown. Well done That Dapper Chap and also to Jeff Banks of Savile Row.
tailoring and fitting was perfect! but the checks..seems a bit too much, should have gone easy with it...trousers should have been plain black, white shirt, dark tie, checkered jacket, no waistcoat.
I prefer the Tailors suit more actually. And his watch. The old timer got some serious style
Omar Elahi no shit he’s a tailor
Jeff Banks suit is💯 ....the younger guys suit pattern looks 1970ish🤮
Rupert Bear would wear that pattern.
The tailor's trousers are spot on, and the presenter's abit too long - too large breaks.
1oo percent
Absolutely , I don't have any Saville row suits , but do have a couple of bespoke buoys and several coats , once you have worn something made by really fit you , you will be amazed, and the button through cuffs really add a lot to the coats !
Hi William, thanks for stopping by and for your comment. Much appreciated.
The language Jeff Banks has. His eloquence and knowledge of words. Wow
God, miss Jeff banks on TV, used to love watching him in The Clothes Show.
A very nice suit. I've always been a fan of Jeff Banks.
Jeff Banks seems like a really fun character. I think it would be fun to have a few pints with him
He's a great guy, very down to earth and a lot of fun. He also has some great stories!
He shares some similarities to Paul Smith, at least from my first impression.
I think your suit looks perfect and Mr Banks is a very gifted tailor with warm manners.
Can't wait to go for the experience!
wow. just wow. freakin jeff banks. i have never seen such an elegant old man.
Awesome piece of kit
Bought a couple of Jeff Banks shirts to the other day and I notice they no longer have the split yoke. Is he doing away with this?
I love that windowpane pattern. I'm gonna get a bespoke suit tailored by him in probably 2 months, can you please tell me what mill did that fabric come from because i want to get something from the collection... with all the love from Indonesia :)
This is a really fancy suit. Fantastic! How much for a bespoke suit like that? Thanks for the video.
Just found ur channel now I'm hooked
Thank you!
Fantastic insight for any aspiring dapper lad. Your instagram is a huge inspiration too. Love this!!!!!
Hi Marco, Thank you for your incredibly kind comments. Much appreciated
Real button holes are now a standard feature of inexpensive made to measure actually. Those times are over.
Love Jeff banks clothes and my wedding suit was a three piece JB with shirt & tie. I've worn mostly JB for over 10 years now and I'm sure in the next 10 as well 👍
Suit looks great. I love that fabric.
Thank you so much
I love it and want one! However I am going to Hong Kong in a couple of months and will get a suit made there, maybe more.I can't see any final figure for the cost of the suit.
If only we could be in a time where people compare suits, not Adidas tracksuits
Joe Hew do you live in 1987 in Queens New York? No one compares track suits anymore.
Sam Malone that’s because people today dress like slobs.
Why not both?
@@sammalone7352 Any trip into a town or city says you're wrong.
Looks quite boxy if you ask me.
Yeah that's how it looks to me.
Jeff Banks is the Living Legend. Mater of All he surveys.
Hi, I wanted to get some training advice, can that be OK. Thanks
Looks great. Very nice style. I know we should’nt really ask how much but are we talking thousands?
The tailoring is perfect, but the pattern you chose for the fabric is too daring for my taste. But if you like it, you'll make it look great on you, so kudos anyway.

Interesting choice of watch on Mr. Banks.
Nice suit! How is it wearing five years later?
I had to do a double take
Did the break pad on the car match the older gentlemen socks 💖💖🤗🤗💖💖also how he was able to display the sliver watch by the way he was standing at the end
He have so much confidence, I was already in for the ride
Jeff Banks👏👏👏
You mention that the suit does not break the bank, just out of curiosity, how much did it cost you?
Loved this, even as a female i appreciate men's tailoring and this was an amazing job!
Hi Frankie, thanks for your comment and for the positive comments!
That Dapper Chap your welcome, always enjoy your content xx
52 Reg off the shelf. Fits like a glove.
Bespoke is for misformed figures.
Jack LINDEN tht would only true if men were robots coming out of an assembly line or if you had misformed eyesight
I could not tell if it was amazing job but I could see the difference between a bespoke suit and off the rack. This felt off the rack. I could be wrong and I probably am.
The thumbnail is very cool
What song is that running behind in background
Truely impressed with the shoulder width of the waistcoat. Totally agree that it should not go out the the edge of the shoulder.
Thank you for your comment
Great vid- yr pocket square was popping👍
Stuff Station 1 thank you very much.
Looks great wish I could afford a Bespoke suit made
why didn't you get the bolder pattern?
Nice suit!!!.🇬🇧
How can one be part of you guys am from Nigeria,
Jeff is a lovely man done the clothes show with him many years ago
NICE vid...Suit is amazing...I would have done a dark brown suede pointed Chelsea, Ankle, Chukka or Wingtip boot!
Hi Dee, thanks for your comment. Dark brown would look great and I know that Jeff Banks offers a wide range of different fabrics and colours. Great choice of footwear too!
This suit is defiantly too loud for me...but you? Rock it like its gold!
Thank you for your comment
stupid question. I thought black shoes with a navy suit was a huge "no-no?" Shouldn't they be some sort of brown? I know nothing about wearing a proper suit though, lol
Speechless. It suits me.
What’s the name of the soundtrack song ?
How much this cost. I wanna buy one tho...

Gorgeous suit. All the stripes remind me of my time at HMP Wakefield...
Wonderful suit! Only Savile Row, nowhere else on this planet! 👍😉😎
There are plenty of world class tailors outside London. Steed. Redmayne.....
Jave a few jeff bank three piece suits .class
It’s so flashy what do you where that to?

I'm a big fan of waist coats.
Perfect Sir

Nice suit
beautiful
The tie clip is not right :( it should be 3/4 of the tie if you know what I mean.
Jeff Bloody Banks. Legend!
And the price?
A part from the delightfully eccentric choice of material for the suit, the side flap and the centre back panel 'pulls out' terribly as you can see at 2:45 and the flaps pull out sideways. I hope is the mike at the back under the suit but... maybe not.
Love how the tailor flings the pocket square out in his face lol. But yes the tailors suit is diamond
The suit is a bit too strong for my liking but I admire the bold choice of fabric and I really enjoyed this short clip.
I love how Mr. Banks speaks. 😀
nice. I have a carhartt suit in alterations as of this writing.
O love how the neck line hugs your neck...
Thank you so much
I am looking to get my first bespoke suit, I was wondering what it a typical price for a high quality suit maker like Jeff Banks costs? High quality is worth the cost. Just curious on where i should be looking for price wise.
start at 5k

Is it a thing to have a vest under a double breasted suit?
I can't see the vest at all
The waistcoat was added simply to show viewers what the options are. It adds versatility too so that you can wear the trousers and waistcoat without the jacket and maybe under a heavy winder coat. Or just the jacket and trousers. While rules are made to be broken I wouldn't necessarily wear the three pieces all at once other than for this video.
It is a waistcoat....A vest is part of one's underwear Sir.
Price?
My dear fellow!
I wonder what a bespoke suit like this would cost on Savile Row. Approximately.
The suit lines are not lining up particularly on the lapel. That is all......
The finish of the jacket is a bit terrible/ off/ not look appealing to the eye. I respect your taste and choice but I wonder if you find it really that comfortable, especially when you sit down. It is a custom suit/ Bespoke so small details really do matters. 2:43 pause and look at the details of your suit compare to Jeff Bank's.

Andrew Gunady you don't go around sitting in a suit !...
Andrew Gunady you appear be an expert. Im an impressed novice

Thank you! My first impression of that suit was not good at all, but I wouldn't have the experience to trust that impression.
A waistcoat under a DB Coat, why, just why?
A little loud for an American like myself but for a Brit it's quite spot on.
Hello, thanks for the comment. I wanted something a little less 'normal' and I think that's what I got!
You're being ironic surely.
erepsekahs They still are. Cracking comment though:)
An American saying English style is too loud is a first...
Jeff Banking my suits thanks to the all capable ranges at Debenhams..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How many times as banksy gone bust
¡Woof woof! 😍
Button undone on the cuff to show that its a tailor made coat :)
Great series of videos, every entertaining. I love the check pattern. However, correct me if I'm wrong, you shouldn't wear a waistcoat to a double breasted jacket.
Hi AJ, thanks for getting in touch. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the videos. I wanted to get a waistcoat so that I was able to wear the two piece without the jacket in warmer weather, it just adds some versatility to the way in which you can wear the suit.
I see! Good choice! Cheers!
The necktie does not go with shirt and suit, it should some very small print kind of silver with little blue
Working buttons enabled a gent to wash his hands without taking jacket/coat off
Thanks for confirming that :)
Yes like a burino 👍
The best burino
Something looks very off with the fitting around the chest . I feel it's too wide and makes the suit look unbalanced. Should have taken it in below the arm holes and also widened the lapels slightly to close the void of space that currently sits between the lapels and the edges of the chest/arms
the matching pants are overkill
Such a charming old man
I think it's nice!, all he got to do is keep his jacket open instead of buttoned-up!
Hi Chad, thanks for your comment. Much appreciated
Not bad at all. Things I would be wary of: if you have a waistcoat and a jacket, show the waistcoat off. This is regardless of the jacket being double or single breasted.

Love the pattern. I feel like it could have been a little more fitted. You rocked it either way.
tailoring and fitting was perfect! but the checks..seems a bit too much, should have gone easy with it...trousers should have been plain black, white shirt, dark tie, checkered jacket, no waistcoat.
Hi this is awsome
great fit but i think its too much square.
Thanks for your comment.
+That Dapper Chap sorry mate but it's Oswald Boateng ever time
