Extremely Common Beginner Suit Mistake

[@fluxfn7087]

Bro I thought my suit had fake pockets 💀

[@matthewklahn3204]

No shame me too

[@SriSrinivasable]

that's cause u r a "bro", bro. LOL

[@thescarceonell4926]

Same here😔

[@1Corinthians15.1-4]

😂😅

[@BurnaBwoi]

Same bro lol

[@idofps9709]

Do not unstitch the bottom pockets if you arent gonna use them. They will sag over time and not look good.

[@dougsmonsters4866]

Remove the sleeve makers label 🏷

[@Sixshots69]

I bought my suit, necktie, pants, and shoes but for the blazer...well I'm using my sister's since a blazer is expensive in the philippines

[@rammul7801]

A very common mistake I see with suits, is leaving the brand tag on the sleeve.

[@spontaneousbootay]

Why does a suit make you feel powerful? Pockets.

[@Steve186]

Thank you, I thought my pockets were shut because that’s how the suit was made

[@Anime_Fan4787]

Same

[@isaiahpalmer2529]

Same

[@Rhude_tiller]

Me too, but I cut it anyway lol who would’ve thought

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Same but for about 30 years with one suit. Now I’ve been retired for 10 years and worn it to one funeral……

[@tachometer-flac]

Same

[@cjdeas1528]

You know, I have genuinely wondered about the stitching in the outside pockets. Thanks for clearing that up!

[@Anime_Fan4787]

I was always confused on why the jacket has stitching that keeps it closed

[@johndrennan518]

Plenty of suits have ‘pockets’ that do not have a function. Be careful, don’t just take a scissors to your suit.

[@adityarajganeju]

Brian you would still look good even if you committed all the style mistakes in a single outfit.

[@hespokestyle]

Haha. Too kind.

[@CarlosAlbertoAndres]

@@hespokestyle actually, this is a good idea for a video: first an outfit with many mistakes, show it a little bit then fix all of them; compare. that would be very educational...

[@thatsmeinthepic]

Same goes for the red Hugo Boss label on the sleeve that some muppets leave on!!

[@catatonicbug7522]

It amazing how many people don't know this!

[@goodkavin]

Also the fabric mill label

[@hespokestyle]

Stay tuned

[@robchang4410]

feel free to leave the pocket stitching in tack - it keeps the shape of your suit - and keeps you from sticking your hands in your suit jacket pocket and stretching the pocket and eventually looking like a kangeroo. The suit large pocket fell out of "function" about 60 years ago. If you want use a pocket on your suit/use the "inside jacket pocket" and look like james Bond instead of Mr. Magoo

[@MauricXe]

notice how he said "carefully remove" dont rip them out....it could cause damage. i actually leave the front pockets stitched (not the pocket square) unless they're patch pockets. I don't use my front pockets anyway.

[@joshuajohnson9393]

I tend to agree with front pockets staying in. It helps the suit keep it's shape by avoiding stretch and fall back into shape. If I need to fill my pockets to the brim why not bring a bag.

[@artvandelay3840]

I notice some people leaving the label on the sleeve of their new coats. Like, say, a cashmere coat that has the label that tells you were the wool was made. I have to wonder if these people just don't realize it's not a design element.

[@Internet_Bae420]

It's like when the youth leave the sticker on their ball caps with the flat brim.

[@Philo68]

Take the label off the sleeve as well. Unlike GSP in a UFC press conference - with Goldie calling him “the best dressed man in MMA!”.

[@freddykabulaschnitza2475]

Oh my God my stitching has been on display for almost 5 years. Thanks for the wake up call.

[@egold2071]

Indeed you feel GREAT in a suit. I started a job recently that requires a suit, and it is a hoot! The best is coordinating the shirt and tie. Really looks sharp to have a color that pops, or go the sleeker, dark route. Plus my dad is a retired teacher. He doesn't need them anymore, so he game me all the ties. Not just his ties... I have ALL THE TIES! In over 2 months, never wore a tie twice so far.

[@decnijfkris3706]

I have vests of suits on which I never opened the inside of the pockets, to keep it smooth

[@brunopaiva9203]

That's great advice, you should point when you are going to open the pockets use a pointy scissor, do it carefully because you can tear the lining! 👏👏👏

[@mariegarside8830]

The alterations person at your dry cleaner should be your new best friend. They can remove tack stitches and make a few alterations. This makes your new suit yours.

[@so8060]

Please if you use your suit for business, do not open the lower pockets, especially if you like slim fits. First having bulges there looks ugly, besides even if you have nothing in your pockets, once they have been opened the look is kinda different. If you wanna put stuff in your suit jacket just use the inside breast pocket.

[@nancyjudickas9757]

I myself have never seen tack stitching on a suit I have purchased brand new. (Loro Piana, Zegna, Huntsman, Hart Schaffener Marx Golden Trumpiter)

[@Uncreeperble]

My sister's wedding dress still had the stitching in and no-one told her it opened up to be huge

[@nathanricetalks]

Thanks! I was actually always wondering why all my jackets had fake pockets😂

[@annaolsson5441]

Also do not actually use the pockets that makes the suit hang weirdly.

[@michaelbedford8017]

Back in the day in Britain, those who preferred a more formal look took great care of their clothes, whether they were rich or poor; and because there were many guys like that, knowledge of how to wear and look after clothes was widespread. Nowadays every thing starts from scratch: Guys discovering watches for the first time have to learn the hard way about things their fathers and grandfathers could have told them about. The current trend of wearing jackets that stop halfway down your arse is only temporary and looks pathetic on almost anyone who doesn't have a perfectly proportioned body. A top Saville Row tailor, if you asked for such a thing would probably suggest that 'Perhaps sir has the wrong address'.

[@theamaturepro]

Well I just accidentally cut the arm off my jacket. Would much rather have the tack stitching than the paper staples I used for reattachment. Maybe sleeveless jackets will just have to be a trend 😂

[@malcolmnicholas5931]

My late father trained at Burtons in the 1960s. I learned a lot from him. These tips are ideal.

[@slammer83az]

I leave the pockets shut so it doesnt look bulky.

[@remcoterharmsel3147]

You can choose to not open your pockets. This makes that the pockets don't wear out and get baggy over time.

[@SStupendous]

-Which doesn't always happen to the pockets.

[@moxopal5681]

Do not remove it from the down pockets, the suit will get messed up.

[@catherinehiller2619]

I'm always telling my young friends to remove that stitching! And they're always amazed when they have a usable pocket!

[@moondoggy02116]

Yes to everything except the side pockets - no one should be putting things in those. It’s a suit jacket, not an apron.

[@youraverageGuy74636]

That shoulder to hand fitting is just outstanding. Props to the man who made it

[@Joehirst]

If you don't use the jacket external pockets, don't remove the tac stitching.

[@atmavictu2995]

I actually prefer the pockets stitched

[@frankcastle5737]

Thank you, i now am ready to take my place amongst politicians and shady business owners.

[@28pbtkh23]

Good advice. Love your shirt, tie and suit.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Brian.

[@hespokestyle]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@SriSrinivasable]

This applies to any clothes, REMOVE the tags, be it tshirts, pants, jeans or even damn Caps or Hats. And walk properly and not like u have suffered polio (some call it "swag")). (it's sad and insulting for folks with polio).

[@nukie404]

Weird, this video didn't show up on my notification! The stitches sometimes look cool though. - Han

[@United22022]

Thank you 😊

[@kammci5175]

I never remove the stitch from the pockets. There's plenty of inside pockets, I never find myself lack room, and the stitch keeps me from putting stuff in the pockets making them have an ugly bulge.

[@GainesMediaInc]

Hahahhaa. The one time time where being tacky is LITERALLY being tacky... 😅😅😅😂

[@larcorba]

There's special removal tools for these as well! Way safer and quicker than the scissors✂️

[@dungeonmaster6292]

when you wear a suit you feel powerful....oooof

[@Mirsab]

Those aren't fake pockets?? 😂😮

[@loganMartinPreacher]

I wish I had a suit, but it would most certainly get covered in dog hair and worse. However just the thought of being a vagrant Diogenes with a suit wondering the streets of Portland handing out books by Dr.Eric Berne.

[@icaliver]

You want a Stitch remover tool, that’s easier and safer than using scissors. More importantly learn to see, it’s not a joke especially if plan on buying a suit instead of renting one.

[@darylhopkins9796]

I cut the packing suit threads with nail clippers.

[@oscar66810]

I love suits. I just really hot. Even with light material, i still burn up.

[@premos00]

giving suit advice but the jacket has a shoulder bite. Shoulder of this suit are not good...

[@landsknecht_voran]

Suits are very boring tho, clothes were much better and interesting in 1500s

[@bibibrin5035]

Common mistake of almost every single youngster I see on the streets of Europe. Men or women. It looks horrible.

[@ald8612]

Thabk you!! Also, tell men to NEVER button the bottom button on a suit/sports jacket. It looks horrible. The ONLY exception is when wearing a double-breasted jacket.

[@Nick.Brough]

Bottom button reserved for funerals

[@XFS540]

Wait, are there actually people who leave this stitching on? Sad.

[@jmgerraughty]

Fighting the good fight!

[@hespokestyle]

💪🏻

[@kinglion5435]

The myth that one should not wear a black suit has been exploded😂

[@ArtFreeman]

Like any military uniform, wearing it properly is important.

[@shashihnt]

That suit looks so cool.

[@2808879]

Thank you so much. I did make this mistake 🤣 i scissored it off later.

[@jimmyaber5920]

Narrower ties are the style and I think I like narrower ties and then I see an outfit as you are wearing for this video and it just looks RIGHT with that 3+ inch tie width. I know proportion of lapel and tie width are crucial but 2 inch lapel and 2 inch tie only looks proportional and correct if you have a 30 in chest and 24 inch waist. I can't get past the little boy's dept vibe of the "Mad Men" style. Thank you for not falling into the fad trap.

[@hespokestyle]

Cheers.

[@jedidias7091]

I did that to my Amazon suit jacket and the arm came off lol

[@jamescrone1588]

Don’t forget the flap or more common flaps at the back!

[@JohnVianneyPatron]

Don't forget the tack stitching in the lapel.

[@dimesallen1082]

Personal preference - because I don’t use the outside pockets, I keep them sewn up to keep the jackets silhouette. Nothing worse than jacket pockets bulging and saggy

[@Sunny-mz3xr]

That's what my m2m suit place also told me. Don't open it because it doesn't look good when you use it. Why ruin a beautiful fit you paid for?

[@pauladams9926]

100%, some idiots will put their phones, wallets, keys in the outside pockets... Much smarter to leave them tacked close.

[@greghester2720]

Well that would be a rookie mistake and I don't even own a suit!

[@kyle_vr]

I own one navy suit (one buttoned). What is the next logical colour and type of suit you'd recommend?

[@merihs.7944]

grey, and black for weddings

[@mikejrexec]

I would hope the salesperson would have done that.

[@1ma4ighter]

bruh I got rid of at least two without lostening that stitching!

[@ranjitapanjiara]

I had that same time for my school uniform

[@timnissen2079]

Isn’t your suit a little bit tight around the belly?

[@GFFAG999]

Blue black beautiful colour 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@Boris19389]

Huh never knew imma go do that

[@HaraldHofer]

Sir, for this I have a butler.

[@WillBockovenCRE]

Tack stitching is tacky lol

[@Woodland26]

some even wear it with the price tag on

[@Steampunksaly]

Removed the tag stitching …. The arms fell off…. Also can you mention removing price stickers from shoe souls - woman and men.

[@steveroberts728]

The colour and style are fine as are the shirt and tie combination. As usual with most modern jackets, the cut is poor. When you button up the top button, the suit should not gather and form a ruche. I know you won’t agree but that doesn’t stop it from looking and feeling wrong.

[@scrumptious45]

Thankyo mads mikelsen

[@betsybarnicle8016]

You look good in a suit.

[@Internet_Bae420]

I did all these! 😂😂😂

I like how you end you video😊

[@brookbizuayehu8725]

Does the confidence when wearing a suit fade away if you always wear suit or is it always there

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

I bet that you could answer your question in five minutes flat if you only came at it from a different direction. For suit swap it with camouflage gear and then ask again. We all know that the answer is suit/camo gear! What camo gear? Within moments of getting on with the job in hand (if not actually ages before) your suit wearer/soldier doesn't think about his/her suit/uniform because of being slap bang in the middle of getting on with the task at hand. So, as you know yourself deep down if you'd only care to look, So shall you. One final piece of advice that always helps me along: Noël Coward, the top satirist and playwright of the interwar period buoyed up a fellow actor thus; If you want to be subversive, Dress like a stockbroker!

[@nrntlp445]

very nice on you

[@SerialCorgi]

In my vests pockets I leave the stitching, but agree to all the other stitching. You should also remove the label tagged on the arm of some brand suites. I have seen a few people thinking it's a. Design feature.

[@sclapsclap177]

I've been doing that for years. Never knew that. Just didn't make sense to not use it. So I always cut it. Now I know it wasn't a stitching error

[@watchboxer]

[@fern4real733]

I've been on a weight loss grind, my goal's to be at 235 lbs. once I make it, I'm gonna get myself a custom tailored suit and feel like a made guy 🥃 👔 🔫

[@NorthTexasEagle1989]

Whaaaaa

[@erikhendrickson8574]

What about stitching in the inner breast pockets that isn’t visible but keeps the pocket held close?

[@EA300_]

Oh
