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

[@RiadoKunsoh]

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!

[@abrahamlange7306]

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

[@Griff_3]

Abraham Lange yes John Elliott for example

[@MathiA1212]

But how can we identify the genuineness of YKK.??

[@mike_tkgchs]

@@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

[@dragonsaige]

Even if the zipper is ykk remember that it can be stitched improperly. Use it as an indicator of quality, not proof.

When you feel the fabric you can tell the quality most times

[@wilsjane]

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.

[@abdullahalshehri1793]

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

[@UrwahK]

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...

[@abdullahalshehri1793]

Urwah I’ve seen belts with crazy prices and there is no difference between them and any other belt but the brand logo

[@abdullah360able]

[@abdullahalshehri1793]

Abdullah Naseer من الربع ؟

[@Th3MysticGam3rs]

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.

Hype Beast is the poster boy for low quality for high price. Just because its hyped. Most of its ugly too.

[@Kluneberg]

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.

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.

[@dylandearinger9413]

Ykk are the most commonly used zippers. Riri are a sign of high quality.

[@Griff_3]

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.
