Indeed. Thank you

I’m so glad I found your page on Instagram. These podcast are going to be a smash hit. Always loved suits but you have finally made a podcast that is informative, interesting and fun to watch. Pete adds to the allure the perfect compliment. Much success to you both

[@AskOkeyInc]

Thank you for your generous of spirit. Very kind of you indeed. We shall do our best to meet your high expectations in future podcasts 😁 Welcome aboard PROFF

[@oscarhuynh8066]

Always enjoy your conversations, enlightening us about the different mills and showing us the amazing bolts/fabrics. You have an envious wardrobe that anyone would be lucky to have.

[@AskOkeyInc]

Thank you Oscar. I am indeed privileged to be able to share my knowledge with you Welcome aboard sir PROFF

So nice to know about some of the things he talking about. Thanks to my older sis who was a seamstress. RIP Shirley 💕

[@ruliadultra]

Thanks for another great episode featuring a nice discussion between two well dressed gentlemen. Peter's navy jacket + grey trouser with particularly looked very nice especially with the choice of socks that complimented his tie; the windowpane shirt was also a subtle touch that did not go unnoticed. And of course Okey's bottle green jacket with the gabardine trousers made for a very vibrant, creative, and unique outfit, what with the striking tan brown shoes. As for the content proper, I particularly enjoyed the discussion about British versus Italian cloth. The points made were consistent with what I had heard previously that the British mills produce heavier, more robust cloth on average while the Italian mills produce lighter, more decorative cloth on average, in agreement with the climate and landscape of the respective regions. I resonated with Okey's point about there being some exceptions to this, e.g VBC/Draper's, an Italian house, which produce some heavy and robust cloth. I myself have garments made from VBC's "Spring 4PLY" (high-twist/fresco) collection which is 410gsm, heavier than most of the English high-twist collections I have seen. Perhaps someday I will have something made from English high-twist for comparison. Likewise, I enjoyed the discussion about differences between British mills themselves. Again what was said here rhymes with what I have heard, e.g Fox Bros. renown for flannel. Okey's description of the comparison between flannel from Fox and that from Minnis/HFW was particularly interesting to me because I have several garments made from Minnis flannel. My atelier at the time had some flannels from different mills including Minnis and Fox, and I chose Minnis because they were the heaviest (and I presumed warmest) of the available options, around 465gsm. I was looking for what would keep me warmest on long walks during the winter. I think that for such a comparison to be fair and thorough, one would need to compare samples from Fox and Minnis in about the same weight to see if the differences in touch and finish are as pronounced as is believed. I think Okey meant to say "camel hair" and not "cashmere" at the 53:17 mark because I think cashmere is from a certain species of goat and not "two humped camel" as was said. Overall, this a great discussion. I am truly keen to see the design Okey and company come up with for the polo overcoat, especially for the silhouette, drape, and other details. Cheers!

sure, but what are you going to wear such an outfit to these days, the opera? Can you really go to work dressed like that? To me this outfit screams trying too hard.

I absolutely admire Mr. Okey's Green Jacket. Initially, when I received the dark green herringbone cloth from Abraham Moon, I had some doubts about proceeding with the jacket. But now, without a doubt, I am absolutely thrilled to move forward with it!

[@AskOkeyInc]

Dark Green or Forest is a far underutilized color for blazers 🔥 Enjoy your Moon Cloth 😁

[@rktyler3470]

I grew up in a properly blue collar working class family. My dad would go out in public in sloppy sweatpants. As long as I can remember I was struck and captured by classy looking menswear. Learning about suits through Okey’s knowledge, style, and eye for menswear is something brilliant to me.

[@Kabaselefh]

AskOkey has made me change my preferences in suits, trousers, and jackets..

[@keepitreal1448]

I accidentally waste something on my new suit and low and behold your steaming video popped up. I have a steamer and the stains are gone. Thank You!!!!!!

Where are you guys living? Outside is scorching hot, middle of the summer, and you guys wear flannel pants and suits, or coats. Maybe inside you blast that AC to the maximum to be able to stay alive in those coats, but what do you do when you go outside, either way....why?

[@ABC-rh7zc]

In the UAE, where these gents are based, people spend most of their lives in air-conditioning, not outdoors. Also,.the AskOkey customer base is international.

[@sorynn1991]

@@ABC-rh7zc So there must be a society so exclusive that has gone to live underground so that they can wear tweeds and flannels even in summer? Still I do not understand the reason to wear or advertise these type of garments, tweed, flannel etc when it is summer, please tell me who is interested to wear and buy this kind of outfits right now? As far as I can tell it is global warming and temperatures are at an all time high.

[@AskOkeyInc]

@@ABC-rh7zc You are absolutely correct Sir! Just about everything (including public spaces) is fully air conditioned in the UAE. Besides I split my time between the Middle East and Europe where the cool weather clothes come in handy. Lastly, most of our customers are international with many living in colder climates. We also make and market tropical weather garments for those who live in the tropics. PROFF👑

[@godfather3377]

I was about to get a suit stitched after watching soo many of these videos but you comment made me remember that its 50 degree Celsius outside 😅🤣​@@sorynn1991

[@toobalkain]

for me this is all way too stuffy, the world has changed, it's gone sweatpants and Birkenstocks and if you're too overdressed, you come across as trying too hard and it makes it more difficult to connect with people. The only tailoring that works for this zeitgeist is Neapolitan, lighter fabrics, super soft, curvy lines, natural shoulders, patch pockets..., maybe even slightly crumpled now in summer, and tieless most of the time, tailored pants with odd jacket, a suit and a tie requires an occasion.

[@AskOkeyInc]

Each man to his own 😁. Thank you! PROFF👑

Birkenstocks and shorts walking around Milan, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@Suzyfromtheblock TELL ME Suzy 😅 PROFF

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

@@AskOkeyInc the Italians are a style icon of their own, in many ways they are very snobby, I say that in a nice way as I am Italian French on my fathers side, the Italians can be aloof, they need to smile more, however the Spanish and Portuguese are very stylish as well, the men are petite mostly and have very small shoe size , never would you walk into a Tailors shop in Milan wearing shorts and Birkenstock sandals, I don’t care who you are

[@AskOkeyInc]

@@Suzyfromtheblock LECTURE THEM Suzy 🙌🏾 Indeed and as I’ve often said in my videos, Italian men are generally built small/slim. Hence the Continental Cut However for the rest of us, there’s the CLASSIC FULL DRAPE CUT Good morning my dear 😁 PROFF
