How To Talk To Your Tailor || Tailoring Your Suits || Men's Fashion || Gent's Lounge

[@edwincortez8680]

I really appreciate how genuine these guys are. No ulterior motives or advertising, they’re just trying to help you look good

[@gentslounge]

That's the goal! Some videos are sponsored but you can take the knowledge and apply it to any brand you prefer.

[@YesImZane]

To me the proportions of Blake's suit jacket seem off. The sleeves seem a bit too short and the top button looks too high. Just my opinion

[@jpeezie3192]

Zane A I noticed that immediately

[@DaPhreshestKidd]

can you talk about tailoring jeans and cargos. also, i have decent size arms but t shirts dont fit well on my arms, should i get the sleeves tailored?

[@leonardschumann9212]

if the sleeves are long enough, roll them once or twice, it usually works for me.

[@watchrob77]

Good job, have a thumbs up. I'm currently getting a custom suit made from scratch at a trusted tailor of mine. It's insane how many different options there are (canvas, etc, lapel stitching). Can you do a video on going to a tailor for a custom suit? Fundamental things you should always ask for in your custom suit?

[@kermit1]

Great video, although I think Blake's jacket sleeves are a little short. It looks OK when his arms are straight but once they are at an angle they look a bit short.

[@gentslounge]

I think it's his shirt sleeves being too long that are affecting the look.

[@albertsantana031]

Great video, Should've used either a lighter suit or used a lighter background to see the details of the suit.

[@nicholasmartinez9030]

What if you have a large chest but small arms. I am 5'9 but wear a 46R/48R so sleeves are always an issue as far as being very long.

[@AbrahamSanchez]

Great video! I've actually been looking into buying a sewing machine to do slight modifications to my clothes. Simple things like adding darts, tapering, and hemming. Do you two think that's a good thing gentleman should know? There is just something so rewarding about working with your hands.

[@gentslounge]

If you have the time and the extra clothes to learn we definitely think it would be worth it. We actually cut out a part of this video mentioning we should just learn how to do it ourselves and we would save a ton of money. -G

[@AbrahamSanchez]

Yeah I'm thinking to start on older clothes so that in the event I mess up, I don't ruin newer and better clothes.

[@AbrahamSanchez]

hieuwey Yeah I do think tutorials would be a good idea!

[@DioZhao]

You guys have the best men style channel on KZbin! Thank you!

[@gentslounge]

Thanks Dio!

[@enterusername7746]

No offense, but the "tailored" suit looks too tight with too short sleeves. The darker suit looks good, even though it's not altered.

[@gentslounge]

I'll agree that his shirt sleeves may be a tad long but the suit sleeves are where he like them to be. It's all personal preference when it comes to tailoring. -G

[@MrDiarukia]

It seems, that the waist of the tailored is a little bit too small. You can see it stretching.

[@kongmw]

They definitely over did the waist. It's so pulled so tight that the shirt is showing. Not a good look.

[@cam7eron1]

Definitely, its way to tight in the waist, too short, the sleeves are too short and the shoulders are showing the beginnings of bunching (jacket is too damn small!).

[@Trotsky1981]

Not to mention the buttoning point is ridiculously high, the jacket is too short and pants too tight in the thigh. These guys don't have a very good understanding of fit or proportion so it's hard to take their advice seriously. But their videos are well made if nothing else.

[@conanchi6564]

My tailor always takes in the flares for me if I have too much to take in around the waist.

[@gentslounge]

Nice!

[@giodelosreyes6896]

Dude this video has honestly been the least awkward videos I've seen by you guys!no hate of course, it's just nice to see you guys found a rhythm with this one 👌🏽

[@gentslounge]

We found the beat!

[@lydiamakasi8988]

Job well done.. Congratulations

[@gentslounge]

Thank you!

[@Izanagi2072]

Really solid advice. Keep the vids coming, boys

[@gentslounge]

Every Tuesday Thursday and Sunday!

[@asacco2698]

Like you say, better to have an off the rack suit that's already reasonably dialed in, so that the tailor will need to do less. Still, a lot of suits the sleeves are too baggy too much material in the upper back below the collar. Also, the pants legs are usually too wide and not tapered . so regardless, best to have the tailor tweak to your taste.

[@ginofornaro9197]

Could you guys do a video on how you found your tailor. Did you do trial and error and what to look for in a proper tailor. Great video btw, keep up the great work

[@gentslounge]

Gino, Friend recommendations, yelp reviews, and trial and error. Best to take a test pair of anything in before trusting a tailor with your expensive stuff. Thrifted, old clothes, or fast fashion options work great for this. -G

[@ginofornaro9197]

thanks for the recommendations

[@jcorpus209]

I have yet to meet an American born tailor, all in my area are from another country.. I wish their was a school for this stuff..

[@BlackViking183]

Where do you guys tailor your clothing, I believe you are in the LA area and so am I and I'm desperate to find a good tailor

[@kenneth7826]

Nice job gentlemen

[@nychrisvs]

Good video as always guys. What sneaker is Blake wearing? The sneaker on the video's cover image

[@gentslounge]

Todd Snyder X PF Flyers on Blake. Kenneth Cole sneakers on the cover. -G

[@briankriegxr6409]

can we see a tailor for chinos? also what shoes were those that were on the thumbnail? if anyone can help with that.

[@gentslounge]

Shoes in the thumbnail were kenneth cole. You can tailor chinos no problem. Same with jeans. -G

[@briankriegxr6409]

Gent's Lounge great thanks.

[@caddyzig]

Great video. Very helpful.

[@jorgealfredocallesestrada7854]

what brand are the tennis shoes ( white and blue heel)?

[@gentslounge]

Kenneth Cole

[@walidsabir5411]

Guys, when your tailor shorten the sleeves length, does he do it from the shoulders or at the end of the sleeve?

[@gentslounge]

Usually at the end of the sleeve. That's why most off the rack suits don't have functional buttons so they can just move them up easily. -G

[@GokkunGuru]

You should a video on where you should rest your package - left, right or center of the pants.

[@gentslounge]

hahaha. Coming right up!

[@willtothewong]

Great video!

[@gentslounge]

Thanks William! -G

[@Carlos10642]

Question guys.. How long should a suit jacket be? Crotch area, lower or just a little above the crotch? Thanks guys. Great video btw.. VERY useful tips.

[@gentslounge]

Should fall around the middle of your palms with your arms at your sides give or take 1-2 inches.

[@Carlos10642]

Gent's Lounge gotcha!! Perfect. Thanks guys. I will get mine fixed soon then.

[@meph919]

Classic rule would be to cover your ass but it's all about personal preference really

[@Carlos10642]

meph919 great tip!! I'll see what should I do.

[@thecrusader8606]

Very good video....

[@Obama1120102]

Great video 😀😀

[@gentslounge]

Thanks Alamin!

[@1ce0maicPlays]

guy in the lighter suit is showing too much cuff in my opinion..... but then again thats personal preference :) But otherwise great video!

[@zeeshan-ul-haque]

very informative 🖒🖒

[@gentslounge]

Thanks Zeeshan!

[@akivigneswaran76]

do you guys know any good tailors? Where do you guys go?

[@thewindowguy43]

Hello, I prefer double breasted suits, so do the same rules apply? Thanks

[@gentslounge]

Yes sir.

[@DaPhreshestKidd]

Is blake mixed with some Asian? He has incredible thick hair.

[@anglishbookcraft1516]

Tyler Francis he looks half white, half philipino

[@bhargavkumar7993]

the right guy like akshay kumar, Bollywood celebrity

[@demayoexperience]

I haven't found a tailor who does what I want him to do. They all suggest how it should look.. always with .. "no no no that's too short.. no no no that's too tight already" 🤦 dude!! That's how I want it!

[@gentslounge]

Where are you located? Maybe someone reading this can help!

[@demayoexperience]

@@gentslounge I'm in Philadelphia. Yes if anybody knows a good tailor in Philly please let me know. Thanks Gent's Lounge, this is a good idea. 👍

[@gentslounge]

Hit up my guys @bchanism or @mensstylepro (on instagram) they are both philly guys. Should be able to take care of you.

[@Abbastanza-ut8qu]

@@demayoexperience did you ever find a tailor? I’m in the Philly area too and I welcome your suggestions

[@leonardschumann9212]

I would never buy bigger shirts, your collar will be to wide, especially if you have a thin neck, look for brands which fit your neck-shoulder-arm proportionen well, the body will often be way to wide.

[@gentslounge]

For me, what fits in the neck and shoulders is huge in the waist. -G

[@leonardschumann9212]

that's what i mean, the waist is even on slim fit shirts, in which i can barely fit because i have 39" chest, cut very wide sometimes even the hip area, which makes tucking them in untailored neatly impossible.

[@gentslounge]

Have your tried Hugh and Crye? They have worked great for me. -G

[@leonardschumann9212]

No and i probably won't be able in near future cos i live in germany, which makes getting clothing from innovative brands a hassle .

[@danmanfarm]

Sory, but the not tailored looks better.

[@gentslounge]

Tailoring is a matter of opinion. This video was more to talk about how to talk to your tailor than anything else. -G

[@TuneinR]

Thank God I don't go to tailors
