What Men's Clothing Brands Are Worth Their Price -

[@byKevinSamuels]

I love the truthfulness. If a thing is cheap it's cheap and that's not an insult rather a point we understand when we buy.

[@mydogskips2]

And when he says he doesn't know something. I'd much rather have someone tell me that they don't know something rather than try to make something up.

[@thecapone45]

Woah. Years ago I would have skipped over your comment but now you’ve made it big. Nice to know we followed the same style videos early on.

[@Tiger24kicks]

Kevin a lot of people are to focused on price and rather pay for cheap clothes then get good quality.

One thing that I find inconsistent about Raphael's opinions is - on the one hand - he looks down on MTM companies and online retailers such as Indochino and Suit Supply because they could not fit his "unusual body" - while simultaneously advocating for higher quality vintage or pre-owned suit. Just because the suit is higher quality, does not mean that the fit itself is going to be better. Yes, obviously there are comfort advantages to buying quality garments, especially suits. But the gripe about MTM that Raphael makes is that the suits do not fit him properly. A higher quality, hand stitched suit bought pre-owned will still have the issues with fit - probably more than MTM because the suit was designed and tailored for someone else.

I have to say that the response you gave for Magnanni is very frivolous. It's a brand from Spain with a long family tradition. Not liking them or thinking they are bad is ok, but not knowing of them is simply not ok. Check them out. Pretty cool.

I wish you were familiar with Magnanni! I have several and love them; would love to hear what you think. Great video, Raphael! Amazing how much you know, not only about the products themselves, but also about the companies and their production!

[@danishgoy7186]

Hugo Boss is mentioned and suddenly a thiiiiiick german accent is to be heard - love it :-)

[@heldaneurbanus5135]

I am beyond astonished that you've heard of Galliardi. Sadly much of your suit advice is a non-started. It gets pretty warm down here. I'm very grateful you mentioned Neopolitan brands tailor lighter, more summery suits. Definitely something to look into.

[@toobalkain]

what Neapolitan brands? You mean SuitSupply?

[@danageorghiou5762]

Thanks for the list of questions, this helps a lot, and I noticed you often do this on your videos for us. It's much appreciated.

[@EadricRicmund]

Hugo Boss suits are somewhat on and off. My first two suits are from Hugo (got it from outlet so not paying full price for them). One of it is a Navy blue suit and the cloth quality is so bad on that the suit got really torn to shreds within the first year. The second one is a grey suit that looks more classic and it have Super 120 fabric. I wear that one just as much as the Navy blue and that suit I have been wearing 3 years now and its still in excellent condition.

[@EVERETTOVERTON]

What do you think of Faded Glory (Walmart brand) ? Jk....haha Love your stuff! Your channel chills me out.

[@SpaceWalkTraveller]

Personally I would go Edward Green shoes over Crocket & Jones. I own both, while C&J are great shoes, EG are in another league of their own, they are a much more solid built shoes than C&J. Yes EG are worth twice the price as C&J. EG are the best shoes that I've ever warn. This is just my personal opinion.

[@Moham153]

Charles Tyrwhitt shirts are made in Sri Lanka, however for, 4 for £100 they fit well and quality is high.

[@NTeach10]

Look at Harvie and Hudson - I switched from Tyrwhitt to them and never looked back.

[@MrJimmy3459]

I prefer T.M. Lewin to Charles Tyrwhitt

[@marksshoereviews6028]

The main advantage of CT at the price point is the range of sizing options. Their shirt fabrics are generally nice quality for the price - much better than you will find in a department store for the same price. They also sell a staggering number of different shirts. Want a plain blue/white/lilac shirt? They’ll have three or four fabric options for each.

[@huberfloover]

This was absolutely great! So any brands mentioned that I wondered about. Now I have to go hunt for the articles you mentioned for more in depth info on some companies

[@cabininmanolo9633]

James Russell I used to be a BB fan. Quality gone downhill over last 10 years. I'd rather buy previously loved BB clothes from back in the day.

[@jhnssch6744]

09:45 Magnanni - Spanish brand, their styles go up to very contemporary and are sometimes a bit out there, yet never-mind their advertising if you don’t like, I don’t either - however their shoes are super comfy, long lasting and are of implacable quality for the price!

[@cosmic-fortytwo]

Wow, I will never buy Suit Supply now that I heard they sent lawyer letters to a fashion & style Vlogger. That's lame. Your videos are great!

[@faheemzia8983]

[@raymondconners]

I learn SO much from this channel.

[@satoshisasada4656]

How is Carmina slightly over Meermin?! I do know that their quality check can be an issue but that is quite rare. The construction and leather quality is very different. Some of their shoes are as good as Crockett's - not handgrade.

[@phus2001]

Love to see when u say... RL quality has "changed" as in worsened!!! Totally agree with u!!

[@chunkychinn]

Raphael I love your channel for what it is GG style and advice especially on vintage clothing and styles. But until you do a presentation in London on our shirtmakers here than I relly do not think that you should offer any critique either way. I have had a lot of shirts made from various companie/Taylors on Saville Row/Jermyn Street in particular Hawes and Curtis. They are beautifully made to my specific measurements and finish, I have been buying them for over 10 years and love them. Thanks.

[@TattoosLovers]

Are Zara t-shirt and sweater pant's good quality and worth the $$$$$ money and is it long lasting ?

[@Usertrappedindatabase]

For sometimes lazy youtubers like myself, he mentions the names of the brands, just click more info and he even has a timestamp. I used to think fashion was superficial and perhaps even effeminate but in my mid twenties I'm starting to learn to appreciate aesthetic and realize dressing well isn't merely for women or gay men. It's kind of unfortunate how American culture has changed in this regard, men used to dress well and take pride in their personal image, I think that's starting to change though!

[@nr875]

Hermès and Ferragamo ties worth it? I say yes. Curious what do you think?

[@mrtodd3620]

I have a Hickey Freeman suit, another from Suit Supply, shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt, ties from Tie Bar, one from Combatant Gentleman...and I thought I was on fleek, but after this video I am not.

[@firstlast7584]

[@axelwalter4046]

Magnini is a good Spanish shoe brand, not too expensive but mostly available in good stores where they have high-end shoe brands too. Their models and finishing are really interesting. Don't expect the same aging and longevity as a more expensive shoe, but by all means go for it. They mostly have the latest models and they have interesting colours too. Avoid Ferragamo shoes and other leatherware from this brand. They won't last.

And also wanted to know where do you buy your suits, is it MTM or bespoke and is it from a brand or a tailor. Ill be looking forward for your reply

what do you think of supreme's box logo t shirts If you don't know they feel like Walmart shirts with the word supreme on them, and did I mention they can cost almost $800

[@mmgianmarco]

I mean, they can cost 800 dollars if you buy them on eBay because they are special edition or something. You don't even wear them if you spend so much, it's just an hobby at that point. If you buy them new from Supreme stores you pay less then 50 dollars for a t shirt which is still a lot but not so much! Resell value is a totally different thing.

What kind of soles do you recommend for boots? I see this great Allen Edmonds boots with leather soles, but how on earth will they hold up in a place with snow and wet streets?!?

[@Cardmonger]

Politicians Exposed you should try and get some rubber outsoles put on to help with the grip and longevity of the boots. Also I wouldn't recommend wearing boots/shoes back to back, every other day is more ideal. If you don't want to go through the process of finding someone to install the outsoles check out other brands. Trickers make good boots with different grip patterns too. Hope this helps

[@expatriatechronicles6915]

I think Allen Edmonds produce boots with either the rubber outsole or the leather one. Seems like rubber would be the way to go.
