Awesome video as always... just 1 more question... how should the shoulder fold behave when you raise your arms... is a dent ok or there shouldn't there be any dent at all when you lift your arm?

[@hespokestyle]

@@arun_kumar0 If you raise your arm, there is going to be a crease. I want everyone who reads this comment to understand that when you wear clothing, it moves, it creases, it wrinkles. People are not mannequins and you should feel comfortable in your clothing. If you become obsessed with "perfection" when actually wearing and moving in your clothing, it's time to get over that.

[@arun_kumar0]

@@hespokestyle i wasnt talking about the crease... that's quite normal... but i was talking about a proper dent... when you raise your arm if a good amount of cloth just ducks inside the padding... is it ok?... there are plenty of tailors around here have argued with me that that's quite normal and that will happen if you raise your arm... just want to know about that

[@lyonosze1josephine122]

Where do i got a suit sir

[@effu9375]

What suit material and style do you recommend for countries with a hot climate all year round.

[@Moving_Chicane]

Mens departments and/or stores should have this playing on a loop in their stores. Educate the customers.... and the employees! Good job.

many thanks!

This guide is perfect and easy to follow. I'm going to a wedding this weekend, and it's helped me correct some stuff that I was doing wrong.

[@mainaksarkaraugustus8790]

The perfectly detailed and to the point guide within such a short duration of time. Thanks you sir ❤️

AS A 1ST TIMER HERE BUYING A SUIT. THIS IS SUCH A HELPFUL VIDEO. THANK YOU SO MUCH MY BROTHER.

[@الموغرابي-ف1ك]

was lost in the middle of tons of videos.. but this watching this at the end is totally worth the effort.. You're the best.. thank you so very much

[@nickkent7164]

Thanks for covering off larger gents, appreciated. 👍 Also, I generally follow the belt and shoe colour should match, mainly where a leather belt is being worn. Casual fabric belts less strict.

[@marksage8559]

G👀d to have all of the fit information in one short video🙏 I’ve come to understand the importance of fitted clothes, as well as material, drape etc more and more, over the recent years. (Cannot believe that I’ve never fitted my tie bar to my shirt), it was always going wonky on me🥇Gold star, for you sir 🌟

[@schw0373]

Interesting...the Gentleman's Gazette says the suit shoulder should end a bit past where your arm starts, while the shirt should end right where your arm starts. It seems you believe they should both end where your arm starts.

[@Larry-qz3es]

Great style point as always Brian. As a short man (5'5) when it comes to pant length, I always go with no break and tapered opening (7.5) to attain the proper look. For my jacket, I would go with one or two buttons and dress shirts, slim fit 15.5 collar 33 sleeves.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for chiming in, Larry!

[@ICEMANPH]

Thanks for the information, I learn a lot. Dept store was telling people to buy tight fit which I now know that it was totally wrong, glad I did not bought it. Right size means comfort.

[@jamesgolightly2295]

Excited for this, Brian! Thanks as always for the high quality and straightforward entertainment! You're the man. Be well, my friend!

[@topkek3028]

Awesome video as always! The shorts are great but these detailed videos are the reason I still watch your channel! :) Could you make a video on how you do your tie knot? It always looks so classy and well done!

[@Giuseppe_G]

Excellent video. You covered every aspect correctly. Would like a video on how to know if a garmet can be or cannot be tailored to fit correctly.

[@jacksonray6413]

This video came at the perfect time! I'm about to pull the trigger on 2 MTM suits, I am in college looking for internships and have never owned a proper suit before. This was immensely helpful to me.

[@jrh11254]

@Jackson Ray - good luck, Sir! Nice to see someone so young trying to put their best foot forward.

[@sajid6027]

If you can go bespoke. MTM is a compromise. I won't go into the MTM market because of that very fact. I'll only make bespoke. Massive difference. MTM.. These are the fabrics to choose from... Bespoke..endless choices.

[@glendavis1266]

This is a valuable video on fit. Thank you. Especially flat back! Many times I see men in suits and they are not fitted. Then department stores do not have any one tailor so other than pant leg fitting they can’t help you. The department stores do not even research and identify neighboring trailers you could go to get the fit you want even at extra expense!

[@anthropological]

If I had a son, I'd sit him down and we'd watch this together! Excellent work!

[@theBelovedKing]

This video has more information in one single location than some other resources I have explored. Thanks a lot.

[@freshpressedify]

Kudos for actually showing all the examples of style mistakes. I've seen a lot of videos where they tell you what not to do without showing it. All they do is show you 'the right way', which is kind of a bummer

[@sergioramirez1693]

I’m slim & i usually go for a medium shirt & i try out the large but not all large or medium shirts are all the same so it depends for me when I’m shopping. I totally agree with all you said in the video. I took into consideration when I’m shoppin for a suit/shirt/slacks/jacket combo.

[@MrJBM247]

The tie knot is critical for me... A Windsor or half Windsor is a must! Can't have a cocked or twisted tie knot!

[@SriSrinivasable]

Perfect video. Too many fools talk about the right fit and 99% of them infuse their "own" style...U have done a WONDERFUL JOB...sir. Keep up the Amazing work. (BTW what's up with new fashion of having the pants 5 to 6 inches short and showing the sox??? LOL). Keep it classy folks.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

This site is my bible when it comes to style. 100%.

[@owen-trombone]

Wow! What a great video! I didn’t know even a quarter of this information. I wish I could have seen this years ago.

[@casnicall]

Super practical video, thank you Brian! One thing I thought you might touch on but didn't is the pant cuff. To cuff or not to cuff? That is the question. Also varieties of pant cuffs; are they dependent on look, fabric, etc? Maybe you've already covered that in another video that I haven't found. Thanks again for helping us look sharp!

[@hespokestyle]

That's a good question. A basic rule is the more formal you want to look, no cuff. But a cuff if it's less formal OR you simply like the look (like me, though I'd NEVER cuff tuxedo trousers).

[@sooweeq123]

Not to sound haughty, I do all this. My question is, where did I learn it? This channel is absolutely stellar! You rock, my Man.

[@mopash]

This video is just amazing. Simple but very smart things you should know to look clinically sharp.

[@Christopher-today]

I’m a short guy and I’ve always been told I should go with no-break. I’m not overweight but I have a small gut (getting older - sigh ;-s ). Thoughts? Thank You.

[@marginkall]

great content and info, personally for me fit is the most important aspect of any dress. Fit is to dress, what location is to property.

[@Ali_Saracen]

I've just forwarded this to a few guys, such a concise video. Exellent work

[@nedm6387]

Great video Brian! I just wanted to touch on the verbiage you used throughout the video, "..the brand might not be the right fit for you". While an off-the-rack suit may not fit perfect for a particular brand, many menswear companies provide made-to-measure suiting. Within that umbrella, you may find more fine-tuned adjustments that will mitigate posture and fit concerns better than off-the-rack.

[@F_Bardamu]

Excellent information here. So many youtube channels are wrong when it comes to men suits and fashion. Subscribed.

[@q-storm767]

A very informative and entertaining video, Brian. I especially took to heart about the pants size. I recently lost a good amount of weight: I went from a 38 inch waist to a 34 inch. I'm in the process of getting my suit pants tailored to fit me better. 🙂😊👍👍👍👔👖👞👞

[@Razzzordback]

I love how your shirt fit. Just right. I have a lot shirt that i tailored too much in waist area . They look perfect when i standing but any moves etc make the shirt pop out. Now i left about 3inch space in waist and be careful to not tailored hips too much. I think the classic style its best option . Thank you for this video

[@tigreonice2339]

Do all the suits have little freedom of movement in the arms, like the armpits level stuck? For example, you can't move the arms to the sides at 90 degrees with your body without the whole suit rising... on the contrary, as if you can with a shirt and t-shirt..... please help Ps: and torso looks good, no wrinkles.

[@baze3SC]

Bespoke suits are actually quite comfortable but there's still some amount of shoulder padding otherwise the structure of the jacket would break. It will never be as comfortable as a t-shirt. I guess it's a price one has to pay. Even when a woman wears high heels it's not particularly comfortable but it improves the look. Ready-to-wear jackets often have low-cut armholes which fits more people but it gives the wearer less flexibility. Fit is key.

[@tigreonice2339]

@@baze3SC I got it. Thanks

[@jezdelion7729]

Excellent video mate! You’re a top class bloke! In my personal preference I like to have my tie length just at the top of my belt, rather than slightly past it.

[@TeslaRules1856]

The tie bar can be hidden - attaching into the smaller part of the tie and the inside seam of the larger tie and into your shirt. Also if you have the choice - get suit pants or dress pants with side tabs and ditch the belt.

[@TheRealGabrielMercer]

Great info. I usually get my clothes tailored and it is becoming difficult to find the right tailors.

[@I_like_YT_lots]

This is a great video. I would add a pair of light grey jeans. Is my go to as it goes with dark and light brown suede jackets. You can also. Pair with pastel like baby blue and pink just to give you a bit of flair. I personally will stand away from tucking anything with a belt loop without a belt. As it looks like you have forgotten to put on a belt or you a hipster. I would wear something with side adjusters, much more elegant and keeping it causal with the polo and your CPs

[@Raj.Sakaria]

Fit is King

[@bernardocourrege6283]

[@faafetaitaase3223]

I would like to add a made to measure request - slightly larger circumference to the shoulder seam of the sleeve, pulled to the wrist dropline, there will less fabric gather when you bend your elbow, may only need as little as five milimeters more circumference.

[@Einsteinsghost]

An excellent, to the point video. I do have a question regarding the tie bar placement. Should the count start at the top button, or the one below it?

[@TelvanniWizardMoneyGang]

Excellent guide. They largely teach you all this in the military, but there's still some very good tips in here.

[@hespokestyle]

19 years active duty and counting. And actually what AR 670-1 says about sleeve length (show no cuff) is wrong for civilian life.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

fabulous detail.A really good all in one fit guide. And nice to see someone talking about suits again.

[@yitziyyb]

Great solid video. Few issues and disagreements Regarding shirt fit, it seems your was still a bit baggy, rolled creased and not that fitted. Regarding pants length, I believe the most norm and stylish is the no break or slight break, the others have rolled creases and don't look as stylish and together. Still all in all great content

[@aldobega2649]

Great video! Just a question: based on your guide the showders must be correct size. I agree! But looks like in this particular jacket your shoulder are a little too big. I can see like a little break right after the seams. Is it like I’m seeing or it is perfect and my notion of shoulders end is not correct?

About ties: we should say that the width of the tie depends upon the width of the lapels. Large lapels hence large tie, narrow lapels, then narrow tie.

If the blade of your tie is just a tad to long you can always try a different knot to tie your tie. A double windsor uses more of that length that a half or single.
