[@v_r_]

Do you want to see more Q&A videos?

[@arthurcatalanotto1151]

Yes more Q&A please? Cool picture of you as The Double Breasted Man.

[@v_r_]

Thanks, Arthur!

[@tintocherian7715]

Sure

[@smhne8]

Absolutely! 🎉🎉🎉

[@edwintejada5634]

Hey brother hope all is well. I left you a question a while back about soft shoes and do you recommend any. What I wanted to say was are there any good rubber sole shoes or what’s know as Casual dress shoes you would recommend like the Cole Haan type of shoes.. I would really like to hear your opinion, I have bad feet

[@terryadkins3630]

Big Vlad, this is one of your dopest INTROs. Happy Father’s Day.

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! I was hurting so I had to vent…LOL

[@bernardgallo2884]

As always, great content. On a side note, when I go out at night, nice dinner, etc. I get nothing but positive attention when I wear a suit. I’m usually the only one dressed like that. It’s definitely a separator.

[@mindbodysoul2065]

I knew i rocked with you, and the choice of music just solidified that.

[@v_r_]

My brother 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Imhotep0013]

Keep up the great advice; one of my favorite channels on KZbin!

[@v_r_]

That means everything, bro. Thank you!

[@garthwright6308]

I am eyeing a light gray, Prince of Whales suit, in Drago, from Spier and McKay. I'm definitely going with the double breasted style!

[@v_r_]

I’m working on a DB myself

[@gregorypayton486]

I’m a db guy. I’ve changed my style in the past few years to wear more of them. It’s classic and sets me apart from everyone else. Plus, as a bigger guy… it helps hide your gut(when cut right)

[@v_r_]

I fully agree! My big guy can definitely from a well tailored DB 😂😂

[@sxsw12]

Can you show vid or pics of the shoes and suits you were mentioning in order to have an idea what you are talking about.

[@denard8409]

I agree, it's difficult to pair navy trousers with a odd jacket to me...

[@v_r_]

It is indeed! I’ve seen it done but there’s always a better option.

[@billyriedel6449]

Double breasted suits are my absolute favorite suit style. My first suit I got made to measure from Men’s wearhouse is a medium grey double breasted suit. I love wearing it when I get the chance

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hello Vladimir Really Enjoyed Your Q&A Video. Love Your Channel

[@v_r_]

Thank you, Leonard! That means a lot

[@leeriding3746]

Just bought my first proper shoes. Suede Trickers in Cherry. Have no real idea what colour pants I’ll match them with but thanks for inspiring me to invest in Goodyear welted shoes.

[@v_r_]

You can wear all shades of grey.

[@megasoid]

Love a nice 40s to 50s style double breasted suit. Looks sharp. Oh yeah, Gregory Peck in that "gray flannel suit" was GQ as hell. Not double breasted but on point. Beats the hell out of the current super skinny suits and a pair of Jordans we have today. 😎

[@v_r_]

You can say that again, fam!

[@anthonydaniels5910]

Great video, the good about this channel is I agree with 95 percent of what you put out and 5 percent I don’t, it don’t matter……I’m so happy your back. Keep doing your think Fam. When I blow up with my production companies, you are getting a call. I got some members that are in need of your brand of common classic menswear sense

[@v_r_]

What’s up, my brother? I’ll take 95% all day long, bro…haha. But yes, whenever you’re ready, fam! I appreciate the love as always.

[@dennisjames9422]

Great video as usual!

[@v_r_]

Thank you, Dennis!

Cobbler Union makes an Oxblood leather loafer.

[@robertsklar1839]

Apple learned a long time ago about planned obsolescence. Products are made to last only so long and then need to be replaced. Keeps the cash flow going. I love double breasted suits. Think they’re elegant if accessorized properly and of course, tailored properly. Reminds me of the great clothes of the Thirties. Great video and look forward to the intro of your watchstraps.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Robert? Yeah Apple got me good..SMH. I agree on DB’s, definitely not as forgiven as single breasted jackets if not tailored perfectly. Regarding the straps, I’m very excited. I’ll be doing a soft launch where I’ll take preorders, and they’ll be ready in 4 weeks. I’ll run it starting this week until 6/30.

[@toddwharton7325]

Your skin care game is on point. I thought I heard you say you use Tiege Hanley. I’m sure I spelled it wrong

[@meshumi1]

I got my business casual look locked down but I struggle with casual wear. I have outfits that are either too comfortable, or are over-styled with ugly and unnecessary brand logos 😣 and I hate that. You should do a video on this topic. I haven’t seen much on this particular topic from the other men’s style KZbinrs.

[@Dominicreviews]

I wear a lot of t-shirts and polos, jeans and chinos mainly for casual. A knit polo is a more elevated take on the polo.

[@leslyjacques3649]

Hey Vladimir, thank you for all the great contents. What do you think about bow ties? I’ve never seen you rocking one or talking about one. I’d like to know your thoughts on this item of clothing.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Lesly? I only wear bow ties with a tux. Some guys really do a good job wearing them, but they bring too much attention which I’m not a fan of. I like when people compliment me on being well dressed without being able to pick out one piece.

[@HendricksTeacher]

Vlad you are a legend bro. Been watching you for ages. Best menswear advice out there! Keep up the good work. I have got one question though: Muslim men are not allowed to wear silk, only Muslim women. What material advice would you give to someone who cannot wear silk for Tie and Scarf options?

[@v_r_]

Thanks for all your kind words, fam! My advice is to check out Wool ties from shops like Shibumi, they’re a bit heavier so I only wear them in the winter. Also check out John Henric (johnhenric.com/us/accessories/ties/cashmere-ties). They have a nice selection of cashmere, cotton and linen ties.

[@biscuitnoir1]

No double breasted in my wardrobe but I'd love to get at least one as part of a suit. On my end, I see more and more grown adults dressed at teenagers it's scary. But I do agree that classicaly dressed men stand out even more because of that. Keep the videos coming my friend

[@v_r_]

No doubt, bro! And thanks for participating.

[@smhne8]

@vladimir how about the bar lacing with a Berluti knot using a double surgical knot at the top (two times around)? I HATE having to re-tie my laces when wearing a suit…

[@ekoller]

Some more questions: any thoughts on Dr schole pad inserts to add comfort and avoid some shoe break-in pain? Walgreens brand is better, btw. Similar idea, buying dress shoes if you wear an orthotic. Tips on ironing your clothes. Do you do it yourself or do you dry clean? Enzo extended my cuff to 2 inches but it’s a faux cuff and I hate that it doesn’t have the full body of a normal cuff. Any thoughts on the faux cuff if there isn’t enough material? Would you ever wear a single vent jacket? Forward pleat or backward pleat pants? Are there any cobblers in NJ or your area good enough to resole a Goodyear welted shoe? Would you wear the lazy man loafer (Churchill)? Hope you could get some content from that.

[@v_r_]

Appreciate the questions, Evan! Just to answer a couple here: I do both both dry clean with no starch and I also wash and iron my shirts at times. Just depends if I'm in the mood or short on time. I will make a video on how I take care of my shirts soon. As far as cobblers, I use one in Edgewater on River Road. The name of the shop is Handbag & Shoe Doctor. Regarding pleats, most of mines are single reverse but not sure if I have a preference.

[@ekoller]

@@v_r_ Thanks! I’ve passed by that cobbler recently on my way down to Edgewater but could never find legit reviews on serious work, like proper full sole replacement. I have too many shoes so replacing a sole pretty much never comes up.

[@v_r_]

Same here! But my Carlos Santos that I really love was resoled twice by them and they did a good job. I’ve since retired them, we had a great time together.

[@MrFrescocotone]

I don't know why people still pay for Apple products. Sorry to hear about that man. Great video as usual! Love the Q&A format. Where can we post the questions for next one?

[@danbee415]

I cant wait for my Yearn shoes, and yes. I think TLB Mallorca loses to Yearn. Better value for money. If i was in a country with a TLB Mallorca store then id consider it. Nice thing about being in the UK is having access to Arterton Ltd who sells the Yearn shoes. Im not affiliated with it. I had a very good returns experience when returning shoes.

[@v_r_]

I’ve also heard nice things about the guys at Arterton.

[@MrFrescocotone]

Alden Color 8 cordovan leather ones guys!

[@bheinatz1]

Bro, no oxblood tassel loafers OTR?? How about the original tassel loafers: Alden! Pick them up in color number 8 cordovan... Possibly my favorite pair of shoes I own! 👍

[@dominicndungu9199]

What do you think about gaziano and girling holden in Chestnut color I love it.

[@victorcrews9004]

Yo Vladimir I checked out Spier & Mackay and u are right prices are great but I wear a 48L or a 50L put they don't carry that size. Could you suggest some where else. I am living in Charlotte NC originally from NY

[@v_r_]

Unfortunately those sizes aren’t common off the rack but check out Suitsupply. They have some nice stuff and have a ton of stores but none in NC.

[@elevatedsupernova]

Any recommended brands for high quality bow ties?

[@v_r_]

I don’t know that much about bow ties except for black tie. But I asked my mentor as he wears them a lot and he said he gets his from Nordstrom. The tie brands that I wear don’t make bow ties, unfortunately.

[@fransenfiets]

I’d love to see you try DeoVeritas! 100 hands is 🥵👏🏼

[@medic5836]

I feel your pain on that apple issue. Then if you get a device fixed you will be without until it’s fixed

[@v_r_]

SMH

[@kevinbwade601]

My bad on the iPad. I would have told you, but after you said that you don’t like on the cuff monograms…I figured you deserved it. 😂

[@StanfordChiou]

8:00 Not exactly. Carmina offers three EEE lasts, and the Detroit EEE is wider than the Forest EEE, which is wider than the Rain EEE.

[@v_r_]

Of course there are lasts that are wider than others from the same maker, that’s not what I was saying. I was referring to a lot of brands where that have lasts that fit the exact same where the only difference is the shape of the toe.

[@victorcrews9004]

Vladimir I never see you in a Brim I always was told you dress from head to toe your man Victor

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Victor? I answered that question in this video.

[@leeriding3746]

iPad issue - hold the power button and the volume up button together for 30 seconds.

[@v_r_]

That was the first thing I did. It’s gone forever.

[@S_Kane]

my guy in the DB! stylish at a young age 😂

[@v_r_]

Haha. Shoutout to whoever put me in that suit. They should’ve added 2” cuffs on the trousers though 😂😂

Yup!

[@augustojoaquínrodríguez]

Hi, Vlad. How I should dress as a skinny guy? Cheers from Argentina!

[@atlantacabil]

I used to love double breasted suits 10-15 years ago, the more I looked at them the more I realized they only good on display 😆

[@v_r_]

What makes you say that? Just curious

[@atlantacabil]

@@v_r_ Double breast suits really stand out when you wear them right very memorable and unless you have several in your wardrobe people will be like didn't you just wear that yesterday when it was more like a month ago 😆 but in all seriousness I think I like the look of one button and two button suits much more.

[@michaelgourlay1746]

Double breasted suits cover a multitude of lunches!!

[@RonaldMondesir]

brother is lookign fit and trim

[@v_r_]

🙏🏾💪🏾

[@HD-Tech]

What do I know about those "Wild Eyed Southern Boys" well they seem all "Caught Up in You" What I wouldn't be caught up in is a double breasted coat. If you got one I would "Hold on loosely" maybe even let go.

[@andresantos_]

I wore my double breasted to prom, it was a success

[@v_r_]

Nice! 💪🏾

[@caesarortega5249]

Double breasted to me is something you gotta earn. Not everyone can pull it off. I feel like you would either have to have a strong personality, a special skill/occupation, be older/more mature or be unusually attractive or unusual looking to really pull it off, Otherwise it looks like a costume.

[@penguin_edits]

rip on the ipad man

[@v_r_]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@TheLabecki]

I think double breasted suits look good on larger men, but not so great on smaller men.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

I wear 4, they look fine.

[@v_r_]

I do agree that they probably look better on larger guys but I’ve seen smaller dudes pull them off just as well. It’s all about fit and proportions.

[@theonlyseparation464]

I love double breasted suits but being called “ Young Double breasted” is going waaaaaaay too far 😂

[@v_r_]

Let me cook, bruh 😂😂😂

Why do you talk through your hand? I notice you touch your face too much. I like your content just some positive feedback.
