    Great review on the suit, but unwashed masses? That sounded a little elitist, don't you think?

      Having a slovenly appearance is a choice made by many people and shows a lack of consideration for those around them.I think the comment was appropriate.

    I’m so happy I found ministry of supply and this review. I’m what you’d call “ transitioning “ from jeans and T-shirt wardrobe to grown up suit wardrobe. Doing it slowly... it’s a comfort confidence thing and I don’t want freak out from friends and family. Also losing weight helped a lot.

    John, I am very happy you did this video, as I was interested in their technical innovation to the menswear community. I also just received my Durant oxfords from the Beckett Simonon December campaign, and I can say that they are a beautiful pair of shoes. They did not come with branded insoles or a shoehorn as shown in your video, but rather very thin black insoles and extra laces and individual dust bags. Another small detail was that the shoebox it came in was too big for my shoes. Also, according to their production updates, they hand polish their shoes at the factory before they ship them... something that even AE doesn't do. Anywas, I love your videos and I am glad that you recommended them to me because I didn't know that quality dress shoes could exist at that price point.

    Oh I mentioned in your A.O.S. Suit review to order an extra pair of pants due to the wear& tear you'll get &/or in case your suit starts to deteriorate ogre time, do order another pair of pants in case they rip, stretch or deteriorate over time due to the wear& tear, it's always nice to have a backup plan somthng I'm going to start doing either ordering an extra pair of pants or the jacket

  • @RichLuciano1
    @RichLuciano1 6 років тому

    Would it be a waste of money to buy anything from them if you work really really hard? Imagine a 77 hour work week or 7 days a week; doing the equivalent to modest cross fit training, working around narrow places where snagging is common, and in the outdoors for most of it. I ruin pants (and shoes the most). The pockets, buttons and zippers usually wear out after a year, and knicks appear sooner rather than later.

  • @evanphelps2265
    @evanphelps2265 2 роки тому

    I'm sorry but I'm not paying $500 for a suit. The blazer alone costs $498 while the dress pants are an additional $188 according to their website. Price gouging much?

    • @yme3267
      @yme3267 2 роки тому +1

      Blazer costs that because dry cleaning cost will disappear after owning this blazer. Any tradional blazer would need dry cleaning. These can be machine washed.
      That's the primary justification. Kinda a one and done. No wrinkles.... stains....
      Never owned one. That's just my assumption as to why.

    Big fan and love your work. Not sure if this been answered already, would you consider this for your first suit or go with Oliver wicks as it seems like the price are almost the same (~$600) ..assuming you don't need this for traveling.

    • @Ryezn5057

    Will the kinetic blazer give over time? My size 38 arrived today fits perfect barring the shoulders and arms. If it gives a little it’ll be amazing.

  • @clint7312
    @clint7312 6 років тому +1

    Any experience with main stream performance lines like banana republic’s “smart-weight” suits? I’m just wondering how a main stream line compares to these up and comers when it comes to this specific category of clothes. For the record, I have yet the pleasure to try on any performance oriented suit at all so this is just curiosity If main stream lines just aren’t worth it these days.

    • @The_Kavalier

    did you have a tailor pull in the 40 coat? I am between a 44 and 46, the 44 fits trim but the 46 feels like a tent. just curious if getting the 46 brought in is the right move or sticking with the trimmer look of the 44.
