    Excellent video Prof, as always. One video from you provides better info than years of tailors that just don't get it. You are always on point, thank you.

    Awesome video appreciate how you detail the functionality of the double-breasted jacket and how it can be more flattering when constructed to our particular body physique thanks for sharing!

    When I was at fashion school and the tutor assigned us a larger size to draft. He referred to it as a corpulent sizing.

      There you go Michael 😅
      Never heard of corpulent used in that context 🔥

    Hi I love your style this is the first video of yours I’ve watched… I would like to add to the buttoning of a double … I bought many years ago my favourite double by Byblos sadly not what they were… this double you button the top and middle and not the bottom because of the tailoring… it feels amazing as it then covers your chest it’s one of many favourites in my wardrobe hope you might try… it’s like being wrapped up in comfort and great on cold days

    If you have working coat sleeve buttons should you leave one or two buttons Un buttoned ?

    Yes!! The tip of the lapel sticking up above the shoulder just looks terrible!

      That’s right Jack. And that is the result of a gorge placed too high up the chest.

    Excellent content and style. What's the most expensive suit you were ever commissioned for?

    • @AskOkeyInc
      @AskOkeyInc  Рік тому

      Gabby, expensive is a relative term.
      My very first BENCHMADE bespoke suit cost me $6,000 for a 3-pc in 2007

    Thank you for this video! As a 'larger gentlement' (fat - I'll say it!) this was really helpful when trying to put together my double breasted suit.

    In your experience, what height do you consider to be short? I am between 5'7, 5'9 and I wouldn't want to make mistakes in my next suit since I would like it double breasted. Please and thank you!. Sorry my poor English!

    You have quite class mister , but i disagree completely about height/weight alternations for being more attractive .
    Wether we like it or not being attractive and charismating is about others to like you ,but the truth is my friend ,the only way others will like you is by loving yourself ...
    So next time you think i am short/tall/skinny/fat ,dont try to find a ridiculous way your gurment hides it ...
    Just say " I know , but i don't care " and smile !
    99% of male population tries to find this tricks in order to be like Conte Cassanova .
    You really think Conte Cassanova would give a damn about being overweight ?
    Grow up boys ,its high time !

      All well noted sir. Thank you for your thoughtful commentary. It is TRUE indeed that attractiveness is all about CONFIDENCE. However we have to cover ourselves in something anyways.
      And it behooves everyone (women and men included) to do so in a manner that best flatters them. That’s all I’m saying 😁

      Sorry, I disagree with you.Okey was talking about people UNUSUALLY tall / short and UNUSUALLY thin/stout. Use your judgement depending upon how you look and how you want to look .Thats it.Nothing wrong or childish about this video.Its spot on !
