If you wrote a book about Haberdashery & the Art of Bespoke, I would buy it. This level of attention to detail is rare and worthy of preservation. Depending how the summer goes, I will be coming to NY for a fitting.

Ive learned a lot about proper attire by watching this man, however I don't own many suits because i normally dress casually . I lm more of a guy who active, i wear suits for certain occasions. I like the idea of having 3 to 5 suits.

Another excellent video Okey. Every tip is solid but I especially resonated with number 2: "Opting for variety over seasonality.' If you permit, I would suggest that opting for variety *within* seasonality is the way to go because the varieties can cater to different levels of formality. In other words having hopsack, worsted, and linen suits [in different or even the same colour(s)], for the Spring/Summer season for instance, really does help to keep one's wardrobe interesting and sufficiently diverse. Overall, this video is perfect for beginners. I was luckily to have learnt from your early videos when I was starting out on my MTM journey.

I gained around 10 extra kilogrammes during Covid time. Had to move 2 holes further on my belt. My budget is quite limited, so I couldn't afford to buy cloth that will not fit in a future. Now I have stopped buying new cloth at all because I am waiting for the time when I would get slimmer again, but another problem is that I almost do nothing to lose gained weight.

Thank you very much, my brotha. I reside in the States but am 🇨🇩 DRC native and promote the Congo Dandy's style of wear in my town. I am very organized with my wardrobe, but having a digital inventory is actually a very great concept of organization(I'll be checking out the website and exercising this) I've kept literally every receipt of my current wardrobe items(thanks, mother), and being a little old school, I enjoy the physical verification of knowing where my receipts are, lol.

I mean it’s only common sense that you have a seasonal wardrobe. I don’t wear linen in the depth of winter or tweed in heat of the summer. Same goes for colors. First and foremost you need to know what is your color. Just because others wear colors of the rainbow ending up looking like a Balenciaga trash bag doesn’t mean you are a candidate for subtle colors or pastels or your brights ala Amazon Parrot. Furthermore I find bright colors out of place for the winter or fall season. When I say brights I mean yellow, light greens, light blues. I personally opt for Bordeaux’s, hunter greens, maybe a mix of beige and dark green, you catch my drift. However all of that is essentially personal preference. Does Okey look good in blue, yes but I personally think he pulls off greys exceptionally well. I only have a couple pieces in my wardrobe that I consider trendy all the rest are classic in color, shape, fabric. Even with classics though you have to be careful. If a man for example has a short torso stay away from turtlenecks just like a woman that has a “ gifted “ cleavage. It’s a lot of trial and error but eventually you’ll get what enhances your attributes the most without taking you hostage and letting the most important part fade away which is your face. Although, I am not gonna lie, I do enjoy catching a look at Okey’a behind when the situation arises. 😂
