[@v_r_]

My apologies as I realized that I uploaded the wrong version of the video. My email if you’re interested in a one-on-one consultation is [e-mail].

[@johnosei5748]

Wow!!!! Awesome 👏 for the “Intro tie”. I’m excited for you and I will be purchasing it soon. Thank you sir for your time.

[@Eliteperfumery]

Never thought of a grey suit, white shirt and a blue tie just like you have on. Looks so clean. Will try it sometime

[@v_r_]

Please do and report back

[@bernardgallo2884]

Congratulations! Now I know where to go for ties

[@Michaeladechatillon]

Glad to see you back, Vladimir! Good work, can only imagine how much time goes into this. Beautifully executed

[@v_r_]

Thank you! It’s always awesome to hear that the work doesn’t go unnoticed. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thanks for watching, fam!

[@mo23410]

so nice to see you dropping amazing videos on a regular base again💪

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! Me too 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@villatour]

Great tie. And cool Opinel.

[@v_r_]

Thank you! The Opinel has come in handy doing these unboxings. I think I used to use a kitchen knife before 😂😂

[@hankd9675]

This is one of your best videos! Congrats on your collaboration! Early in my career (1990's), I wore suits everyday. Everything is so casual now. The last time I wore a suit was 2018 in court for my divorce hearing....LOL! Single dad with 100% custody of my kids so don't get invited to events where a suit is required. Hopefully that will change after I get them out of the house!

[@v_r_]

Thanks for your kind words, I do really like this video myself. But you are correct, it’s a much more casual world that we live in and COVID definitely did not help although things were already heading that direction way before that.

[@sdn4134]

I like the tie bro. I used to think spending money on items was to much but I understand that since being in finance it’s time to step my game up. And you know what I didn’t even cringe at the price like I usually do. I guess I’m becoming a grown man lol

[@v_r_]

Haha…growth is a beautiful thing, bro!

[@tetsugakusasahara9151]

Dude, congratulations on your first collaboration brother! I'm typically not a huge fan of striped ties, but this one is killer due to its subtlety and elegance

[@v_r_]

Thanks, man! That’s big for me. I don’t have many stripe ties myself but I’ve always like the block style.

[@majadi8855]

Dope 🔥Congrats. Well done .

Yes Vladimir - respect. Love your tie: texture, class and proportion. The socks: great news that you're making these too :-) So pleased for you. Tony

[@v_r_]

Thanks, Tony! It was a long time coming and I’m glad that the day is finally here.

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! I appreciate it.

[@Electron101]

Id like to recommend granqvist sweden and poszetka when it comes to shopping for ties theyre an extremely good option, but if i had to pay close to 100 bucks itd be either Sam Hober or Shibumi Firenze

[@v_r_]

I’m a fan of all those brands. The majority of my tie collection is from Shibumi and EG Cappelli and Aklasu for my grenadines.

[@ahmikjones]

I should have known I needed to buy the tie right away. It is already sold out. No worries, I will get it when it back in stock. Congratulations on the success of the tie.

[@Izanagi2072]

Vlad is back with a vengeance in 2023! Dropping his own line of ties now! Big congrats, man. You've definitely earned it! I've also been waiting for EXACTLY these end-to-end shirts from S&M - Thanks for the heads-up on these! Stoked!

[@nac24444]

My OG brother as usual you crushed every item of mens clothing in this price range excellent well done job !!!!!!! I got several items you listed including that tie no need to say I have to support a bad brother like you. I'm looking forward to your next tie release.

Great video Vlad...okay so I was 18 in 95' when Fast Life dropped. 45 now and loving being older, life has gotten better or maybe just my tastes have changed for the better. Instead of salisbury steak its a local steak house with the wife haha :) Congrats on the tie. It looks really nice, I will definitely have to pick one up so I can be in the cool kid club. Have a great day!

That’s what I’m talking about, just a couple years younger than me…haha.

I know it's not the season for it, but I'd love to see you do a dedicated video on scarves. I feel like it's an element that can really elevate a guy's game but can be quite daunting (similar to pocket squares). Would love to hear of your favourite places to get nice scarves from too (outside of Drake's)

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! I appreciate the support. The tie I have on is from Berg & Berg and usually gets a ton of comments. It’s definitely one of my favorite ties but it’s sold out and they haven’t brought it back. I bought it in 2017.

[@phillipj.moodie3077]

After the closing down pn many small businesses, after COVID, the small high quality Dry Cleaners have dissappeared, making it difficult to find one who really understands how to clean an expensive quality silk tie. Until two years ago I would use Collar Prewash, made by Colgate to very successfully spot clean my ties. While a modified version of Preen is still available, it is no longer hydrocarbon solvent based, so it is useless to spot clean either a tie or a suit. So, my simple question is, how do you maintain your ties and spot clean your suits. I wear a Suit with a wide range of silk ties seven days a week for work, and upgrade them on the weekend. Phil, Australia.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Phil? I must be pretty lucky because I’ve never had to clean my ties before as I’ve never gotten anything on them. I remember this happened a long time ago before I started wearing quality ties and I think that I ended up tossing it. Same goes with my suits, I haven’t had to get one cleaned in a while. I always tell guys to use a garment brush after wearing one and stay away from dry cleaners unless you really have a stain that requires professional help. I also have a steamer to keep them looking fresh.

[@irawanwijaya7951]

Hi chief. Great video as usual. Might want to check blkbird shoe maker. Agressive price. From india. Claim to be handwelted....thanks boz. And congratzzzzz

[@HD-Tech]

You gotta dig the original that Fast Life was sampled from, Surface - Happy. Dont feel bad I was in 9th grade when the original came out G. (1986) Check it out, but I bet you know it

[@v_r_]

Oh no doubt, Happy is a classic in my book. G Rap and Nas did it justice.

[@dlove2830]

Good information. Just a quick observation: what about a writing pen? Makes no sense to have a $1,500 outfit and use a $2 writing pen from Office Depot. A simple Mont Blanc roller would make for a nice touch. Everything else is on point. Good job and congrats on the tie collaboration. I'll buy one of your ties since I know the stripes are going the right way...LOL.

[@KRW628]

Fast Life came out in '95. In '65, I saw the Beatles live on stage. Man, I've got SOX older then you. Intro. (I've got 3 or 4 pink shirts.Get a couple)

[@v_r_]

Ok, I think I feel better now. By the way, “Let It Be” is one of my favorite songs. But yes, a couple pink shirts are due for sure.

[@athall7286]

What are your thoughts on Suit Supply suits?

[@v_r_]

The quality is good but most of their suits don’t have the details that I’m looking for unless I pay more to go custom. I’m also not a fan of their customer service. I do take my clients there at times if they need something quick.

How do you launder your shirts to keep them crisp and white. Do you toss them in the wash, hand wash or dry clean your higher end dress shirts?

I wash them at home on the delicate cycle. I use Woolite detergent then I hang them to dry. It’s a lot of work but gives me more control.

You’re right! Once they sell out (which happens fast), they don’t get brought back, unfortunately.

[@kbrett2004]

I know the feeling. But I check in often on the main page as well as soon as I get an email alert. They run a lean operation with smaller margins to keep the prices competitive. They don't want to have leftover inventory to mark down. Honestly, I'm amazed how well they pivoted after COVID. Seems they are even stronger now.

[@drzaius844]

Their dress shirts and pants are worth seeking out though.

[@KunaiKrazy]

I bought two of the button downs during their clearance sale and they fit great. Shame they take forever to process their orders. That's my only gripe with them but they had solid pieces. Eyeing a sport coat for travel.

It's funny how he's trying to show how you can look good on a budget, but the budget is $1,500 which is actually kinda accurate for buying higher quality items as mentioned (even though they add up to quite a lot more than $1500, and it can cost you more than $1000 to get a good quality suit alone. as well to actually have a wardrobe just one of any of these items is not really enough, that beautiful tie he chose if worn every 2 days stops impressing anyone, having a nice wardrobe is expensive...
