Colin Firth. A Double Breasted 007 in - Kingsman: The Secret Service.

I don’t think double breasted suits are old-fashioned at all. They’re very cool and I would definitely get one.

[@simonkg6728]

The tweed suit in the first few scenes is made by cordings of Piccadilly, while the boots are from Church footwear, an amazing suit

[@MichaelRembrandt]

Great movie. Also one of my favourites. Thanks for the review.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

You're welcome.

[@johnseeger9083]

Back in the 1980s, I had a double breasted suit, but even then I looked like a refrigerator wearing a tie. I haven’t changed my shape over the last 40yrs so my suits are single breasted simple grey or navy. Honestly at this point in my life tweed and or blazers serve as my “go to”proper wardrobe with the suits on rare business meetings. It is a challenge to wear any formal wear when you are shaped like a refrigerator. Not stout, just very square. 😂 Happy Christmas to all! JR old warrior, even older novelist.

During my brief stay in the San Diego County Jail (no charges brought) the nickname immediately bestowed upon me by the cartels was Kingsman. Bless their little hearts. LOL

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Wow. Now that's a story, Kingsman.

[@mrbigck81]

I liked the movie and the Kingsmen style too. Congratulation for the video. I really like you tie

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Thank you.

[@draconious4005]

The suit I wore for my high school graduation was double breasted. I've been wearing double breasted ever since.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Well done. Very classy choice. The suit I wore was an embarrassment.

[@christianwestling2019]

Double-breasted suits are the best. I always recieve compliments when I wear then. Granted, I'm 195 cm and well-built, but I highly recommend them.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Well done. That's a good way to stand out.

[@David62903]

The Viennese tailors shop used in 'Operation Silver' may make interesting reading. Fleming did some early writing for Man From Uncle too by the way.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

OK I did not know that. Thanks. Doing a review of the movie soon, though I was a fan of the TV show when I was a kid.

[@LukaTumanov]

Didnt know Alfred from Batman was a corrupted boss of a secret service, what a disgrace 🤣 Great video, keep up the Kingsman videos, or even maybe a style analysis of Chrstian Bale’s Bruce Wayne 😃

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Excellent suggestion. Hadn't thought about Batman at all. I'll take a look.

[@MosMunchyBox]

Is it the Oxfords?

[@cullancontos8597]

Very smooth suit you have on in the end! Double breasted are good for taller thinner men in my opinion, I’m short and muscly wouldn’t look good on me!

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Thanks. I've always felt too thin for a double breasted suit because of it's squareness but never tried one on. Same reason denim jackets don't look good on me. Too boxy. So I'll give the double breasted jacket try next time I have an opportunity.

[@magi5587]

i really like your narration and accent i think you could branch out to books or just your take on styles and various brands. I'm always interested in affordable alternatives. good luck to growing your channel

[@phoenixyuan7191]

Getting a huntsman suit when ur just 18 is insane

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

I know! I had to check that twice. I guess he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

[@jt.8144]

Suits make The MAN. I love my Suits.

[@gregs.8895]

I still like a nice double breasted suit. I have owned two over my lifetime. One that I currently have that needs some updates tailoring wise, but my first suit in high school was double breasted and I loved it because it was different than what everyone else was wearing.

[@janerkenbrack3373]

I suspect the "oxfords not brogues" line was a deviation from the script. Or at least the intended script. Consider not as a choice between the two, but in sequence. Plainly speaking, he is advising wearing oxford style shoes - but without any brogue. The line may have first been conceived as "oxfords, no brogue." Of course I am guessing, but the line makes sense this way, and allows that someone in the writing process understood the difference.

[@willardsheen981]

Yes, it seemed like a mistake when I first heard it, but it does make sense when interpreted this way.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

It's no crime but a fun opportunity to explain the difference. Whatever slight variation Colin Firth may have made saying the line it sounds great but does not make perfect sense as a comparison. So you could very well be right.

[@SamuelDaram]

A video about Matthew Vaughn’s use of suits which in turn demonstrates the idea that “the suit is a modern day gentleman’s armour.” I enjoyed it. And, no, I am not a fan of the double-breasted suit. Few men look comfortable stylish in it. Someone such as Colin Firth or Tom Hiddleston do look great in it. But can you imagine Ricky Gervais or Dev Patel in that? The best suit featured in this video is not one from the vision of Mattew Vaughn but from the “tailor in Shanghai.” 7:20 This suit looks like a great fit. And sadly, we still don’t know the name of the creator behind this channel, For The Love of Suits! For the love of improving your rapport with an audience, tell us your name! This channel is about men’s style from cinema and TV that’s mostly influenced by British culture and British history, yet this guy fails to do the first British thing which is to introduce himself! Good manners! Who are you? Jim? John? Fergus? Derek? Ricky Winston? Bob? Barbara? Maureen? (11th December 2024).

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Thank for the advice. I'l update it as soon as I can. It's Michael James Ryan by the way.

[@nemanjaadzemovic4984]

Great video, you shoyld make something about best buys for beginners

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Good idea. Thanks.

[@KRW628]

Royalty, Churchill and Al Capone... What's the difference? (I actually have and wear a navy bow tie with white dots, Just like Winnie)

[@05carsm]

You need to talk about the tie knots. It is important.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Good idea.

[@supersonique001]

I have embraced DB suits for decades along with SB! If you have not you should, especially if you are slight , slim and could use a bit of girth ( hint) . they can be light weight or heavier and never fail to impress, trust me and with that hat you'll kill them dead (in a good way) , Cheers.

[@lordtherapeutics]

I have a fabulous double breasted vintage dinner jacket, a blazer,and a double breasted overcoat. No wardrobe is not properly complete if you don’t have at least one in addition to single breasted.

[@teakcore5261]

Please do Body of Lies!

[@OKOK-hm2is]

Why is everyone struggling with a logic of "oxfords, not brogues?" It means oxfords, but not brogued, as in: "Suits, not double breasted" "Shirts, not flannels" "Sweaters, not turtlenecks"

[@650rcr6]

because... in regular speak it would be "oxfords, no brogues" or "oxfords, without brogues". NOT brogues implies they're mutually exclusive and they're not mutually exclusive.

[@teekue]

It'd be: Oxfords, no brogueing.

[@steveb4012]

I think double breastfed suits are done, my Wife says so! I like you describing what youre wearing at the end.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Thank for the feedback. Appreciated.

[@teekue]

Well if your wife says so we should of course all stop wearing them. ;) They aren't even remotely close to being done imo. In fact they are having a moment in fashion right now.

[@steveb4012]

I have had afew, like the comfort of the jackets, but the Wife does genuinely hate them. 😄

[@varangianventure]

I wore my blue navy double-breasted blazer to the company christmas party, alongside white shirt, red tie, red newspaper boy hat and red chinos. It gave me a good jolly but stylish outlook.

[@RogerOThornhill]

We need to find a shirt that fits you.

[@charlesfaulkner4586]

My best suits are double breasted and Italian made

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Nice.

[@barrymurphy1337]

I own a slim fitting double breasted navy chalk stripe suit which I have to say looks fabulous and always solicits many compliments each time I wear it. You really should get one.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

"and always solicits many compliments each time I wear it." I don't doubt it. Sounds excellent.

[@rovercoupe7104]

Are you pronouncing ‘derby’ incorrectly to appeal to the US market? M

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

tomato tomato. Ok That doesn't work in writing.

[@cezarypruszkowski9523]

Sorry but double-breasted design only looks right on a peacoat/overcoat, not on a suit jacket. It’s just too overwhelming.

[@teekue]

What a wild take.

[@Dakota-d4n]

I m fan and f three buttons suits with my ocbd shirt with my kint tie and my fedora
