Collaro Unboxing: Trousers, Safari Jacket & Shirt | Sartorial Styles

[@SartorialStyles]

A little correction: The jacket does have inner pockets, in the video I did not see them. I still love the clothes by the way - I've been wearing them a lot lately!

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

I was anxious for you to get on to the high-waist trousers, because they are SO hard to find, even 3 years on from the posting of this video - and it's a fit I need because of my elderly build. But I stopped being impatient, because I was very impressed by your jacket, which fits you perfectly. My current favourite online tailor is iTailor, who have made 2 suits, and 2 pairs of trousers for me - I don't wish to desert them: their quality of service deserves loyalty; but Collaro looks like being another place to go if, for any reason, I have to.

[@jaysterling26]

no lecherous comments (re: 2;16), which is nice. The jacket - suits you, Sir!

[@rafaelloh6853]

The Safari Jacket color is a killer!

[@SartorialStyles]

I love it as well, thanks!

[@AstepAbove21]

That is a very stunning collar. I haven't tried longer collar points but I may have to. Thank you.

[@SartorialStyles]

Glad you like it! I really started to enjoy long pointed collars some months ago.

[@thewolstenbeast7965]

8:18 that is the most beautiful safari jacket I have ever seen. The color, the fit damn...and it's tweed! my favorite materials

[@dm_so]

Great review! The fit of the trousers is actually fantastic! Lucca collar is very cool also

[@SartorialStyles]

Yes, I agree! I love the less tapered design with the high rise!

[@gregthomas3137]

The safari jacket is awesome

[@SartorialStyles]

I really love it as well - thanks a lot! :-)

[@corisco93]

very nice purchases

[@Risepool]

Ich habe im letzen Jahr einiges von Collaro bestellt und sehe das Ganze sehr positiv. Super Service über Chat/Instagram, gute Preis/Leistung. Gute Auswahl. Ethan und die Anderen helfen auch gern bei Optimierungen was Passform angeht. Ein wichtiger Vorteil im Vergleich zu bspw. Luxire ist, dass Sie die Size Profiles für dich up to date und einsehbar halten und Änderungen dort vermerken. Solltest du bei ihren Stoffen/Styles nicht fündig werden können Sie dir meistens trotzdem etwas raussuchen was dann passt. Alles in allem: super service, gutes Produkt!

[@Risepool]

P.S: Mein Favorit bei den Kragen ist definitiv der Luca, aber als Hidden Button Down. Sehr subtil, aber ein fantastischer „collar roll“ und trotzdem super mit einem kleinen Krawattenknoten.

[@SartorialStyles]

Danke für deine ausführliche Bewertung zu Collaro - freut mich, dass es dir gefällt!

[@a_ron4]

Been waiting for a Collaro review, thanks!

[@SartorialStyles]

You're welcome! More content about them will be coming soon! :-)

[@Mr-R.R.]

Fantastic review! But man, i couldn't get my ear off the song! What's the name of it? Almost sounds like a improvised jazz version of Tennessee whiskey

[@SartorialStyles]

Thank you very much! The songs used in this episode: Staycation - Corbyn Kites Road Trip - Slynk Chances - Silent Partner We Made It - Reed Mathis

[@ToddB987]

That jacket is killer!!! Luv that! Great store but a little pricey.

[@SartorialStyles]

Always keep in mind that their prices are shown in SGD. The safari jacket is 439 SGD for example, that translates to 275 Euros. I think that's pretty good value for the money.

[@sebaserafeim]

great review brother!!!!

[@SartorialStyles]

Thanks mate!

[@36424567254]

They just added odd jackets, with choice of unstructured/ half canvas / full, and sleeves only / half / full lining too. If I was more sure of what measurements I wanted, I might be tempted to get one even though there are still no occasions to wear one anywhere (hopefully, not for long). But I feel like I need to have something made in person first to know what measurements I should ask.

[@SartorialStyles]

I'm on it, I'll have my odd jacket made very soon. A video will be published in a couple of weeks. :-)

[@36424567254]

@@SartorialStyles ahahah nice, looking forward to it. My other strong candidate that I found in my online searches is actually a Spanish one (for once, in EU!), ever heard of LopezAragon1976? They make an incredible variety of cool designs, particularly spanish jackets (tebas), and pictures on facebook look stunning. Prices are great for custom orders in quality fabrics (and piece of mind of no additional taxes), plus they will make odd sizes as well as long/short sizes at no extra, or basically M2M for small upcharges. The only problem is apparently no one on the net has heard of them and as such I can find absolutely no reviews.

[@SartorialStyles]

I indeed never heard of them, I will put them on my list!

[@SpirithunterBOMB]

proper cloth or collaro? which do you recommend more?

[@Lassehansen3]

Absolutely beautiful pieces 👌 my suggestions (only well meant) if you like high rise trousers you should consider 1) a lightly shorter tie, 2) a tie knot making the tie slightly shorter or 3) simply (as I actually sometimes will do if the tie gets a little long 😅) stuff the tie into your trousers 👍

[@SartorialStyles]

Thanks a lot! I think with high-rise trousers it's quite acceptable when the tie exceeds the waistband of the pants, especially when the tie does not peak (too much) underneath the jacket. I do agree with you though - stuffing the tie into the trousers is a great option that I love to use as well! :-)

[@toobalkain]

horn buttons? You mean mother of pearl, horn isn't normally used for shirt buttons.

[@dmitryaksenov9166]

You may probably think I'm just a random noname, but hear me out, IMO tying a belt of a safari jacket in front really turns it into a bathrobe, stylistically speeking it's better to leave it undone or to tie it behind. Just my point of view!

[@SartorialStyles]

Leaving it undone looks tacky in my opinion. If it has a belt, I belt it. Same goes for trousers - if they have belt loops, it looks weird not to use them. Tieing it behing is something I never tried though, I might look into this!

[@antosbielli158]

Another Collaro video coming?

[@SartorialStyles]

Later this year, absolutely! Including jackets and some other new options.

[@abdulhalimdahir8534]

Hi. Thanks a lot for the great work. What is the collar type for the first shirt .

[@SartorialStyles]

It's called Lucca and is described as a Collaro signature style.

[@tobyey9134]

I think the trousers are a little baggy in the are between the pleats and the knees, otherwise great fit

[@SartorialStyles]

Yeah, the fit is close to perfect already. That's really nice, considering it's the first time I ever ordered from them! :-)

[@the1blkman]

What is the name of the waist cinching tab on the pant? I wanted to add those to several pairs of pants I already own and when I went to different tailors to inquire about them NOBODY knew what I was talking about. I was totally confused. How does one ask for those, what do I call them? I'm asking from America so if the name is regional give me the name for the American version please and thanks.

[@Bellroysg]

Buckle?

[@thscful]

@sartorial styles where is the first shirt in this video from? I love the colour and the width of the stripes. I’ve been looking for something just like it.

[@SartorialStyles]

The shirt I'm wearing is made by Lanieri and the fabric actually is still available! It's a 100% cotton cloth made by Grandi & Rubinelli. You can purchase it over here: www.lanieri.com/en/shirts/fabrics/light-blue-large-stripe-natural-stretch-3486

[@thscful]

@@SartorialStyles Perfect, thank you so much for sharing the link. That is quite an expensive shit as well - getting close to rivaling some top Italian and British custom-makers. Do you find that the quality suits the price? Any reservations about purchasing them again?

[@SartorialStyles]

@@thscful I'd wait for a sale, they sometimes have 20% to 30% off on shirts. The quality is amazing though, it's the best shirt fabric of all the shirts I have in my wardrobe. It's super soft, not see-through, easy to iron and still feels like a proper cotton cloth. This combined with the mother of pearl buttons, great buttonholes and cut - it probably is my favourite shirt and worth the price. Another note: Lanieri promised me to send a discount code for my audience next week. I'll let you know then I have the code. :-)

[@FashionableFather]

Sorry I totally missed while watching. What is the material of the pants, wool, or??

[@SartorialStyles]

It's the Oatmeal Lambswool Tweed by Abraham Moon.

[@danieledeluca6938]

Mit wie langer Lieferzeit muss man rechnen im Normallfall? Sagen wir wenn kein Fabric fehlt wie zum Beispiel bei dir beim Coin Pocket. Sprich ich würde meine eigenen Masse eingeben, wie lange würde ich warten?

[@SartorialStyles]

Wenn alle Stoffe vorrätig sind, solltest du nach zwei bis vier Wochen eine Tracking-Nummer bekommen. Der Versand selbst dauert nur 2-3 Werktage.

[@nwfl775]

What trousers and service convinced you more, Collaro or Yeossal?

[@SartorialStyles]

Hard to choose. Collaro went up with the prices, but the brown trousers I got from them are still my favourite pair for the fall and winter. Yeossal is really great as well, but I slightly prefer the fit of my Collaro pants. Honestly, I don't wanna miss both of these stores. ;-)

[@lisbetsoda4874]

You meant belt loops

[@SartorialStyles]

What do you mean?

[@samali6109]

what's your size for the rise (overall) do you usually wear from collaro ?

[@SartorialStyles]

Copied from my Collaro profile: Rise (front): 11.375 in. Rise (back): 15.625 in.

[@timothybracken1728]

Where are the clothing's made?

[@SartorialStyles]

They are made in Singapore, most of the fabrics are from Italy or England though.

[@markushornchen1150]

Hab auch schon mal ein Auge auf collaro geworfen aber bis jetzt noch nichts bestellt. Welche Größe hast du beim safari jacket genommen?

[@SartorialStyles]

Ehrlich gesagt erinnere ich mich gar nicht mehr und im Bestellverlauf von Collaro wird es leider auch nicht angezeigt.

[@krollic]

christ, that safari jacket is cool. are you gonna take in the mid/upper back? I think it could be taken in a lot especially since it's a pleated action back.

[@SartorialStyles]

I've been wearing it with a turtleneck yesterday and it looked pretty good fit-wise, I think I will not get it taken in. :-)

[@krollic]

@@SartorialStyles fair enough mate. that collaro website doesn't load for me, unfortunately

That's weird, for me it's working perfectly fine. I am using Google Chrome, maybe they have problems with other browsers?

@@joeysp180 Thanks for sharing your experience Joey!

[@ikkiiiieee]

If you would have paid full price + imports, would you consider these and yeossal better value than european brands?

[@36424567254]

yeah, I would love to order from yeossal, but import taxes dissuade me. Any time I've ordered from outside EU it's been taxed, including UK after Brexit (not duties, but still VAT + extra fee by courier for customs paperwork), so I can't say anything but "lucky you" when people say they didn't have to pay import taxes.

[@ikkiiiieee]

@@36424567254 indeed, not to mention sizing

[@36424567254]

yes, if something doesn't fit it's a nightmare to return it and attempt to reclaim the VAT (which I'm told is possible, though probably lengthy, and you still have to pay the courier fee)

[@SartorialStyles]

Full price of a safari jacket in this certain fabric would be 439 SGD + 20 SGD shipping. With 19% German import taxes added, it's 546 SGD. That translates to about 343 Euros. I think it is still great value for the money, especially considering the very nice fabric and the good craftsmanship of the jacket. I agree though - SuitSupply for example will be cheaper. But they don't offer the customizations and they are not made to measure. After all, I would have ordered this jacket at a price of 343 Euros as well!

[@SartorialStyles]

@@36424567254 This is a problem indeed though! On the other hand, after one successfull order they have your sizing profile saved and updated, so all the following orders will fit well without any returns. :-)

[@toobalkain]

100 Hands shirts are the same, extremely long.

[@38201270298]

Trousers are way to baggy to the point that they are looking awkward in my opinion. Do you self a favor, bring them to the good tailor, maybe he'll be able to save the situation. Of course it's only my opinion, nothing personal.

[@SartorialStyles]

Thanks for your comment - I do like the fit and will keep them the way they are. :-)

[@waltersickinger1499]

Less talk...more visual.

[@SartorialStyles]

Exactly what I'm doing in my more recent videos. Another episode about Collaro is scheduled for this year, so stay tuned! :-)

[@dragosavo]

I think your clothes would all look better if you gained some muscular weight and filled them out a bit. It is the first thing I notice when you model. You are very slight of build and that is very hard for any clothier to compensate for.

[@SartorialStyles]

Even though I am technically not underweight, I agree with you from an esthetics point of view. Sadly, I seem not to be able to gain any weight. I really tried it with lots of sports and proper food, but it did not work.

[@collaroclassicmenswear7758]

​@@SartorialStyles Thought we'd jump in here to say that the beauty of custom clothes is that it complements the frame of the wearer, regardless of what build they have!
