Buying a Suit | What You NEED to Know

13:03 that's true but it's more then that... the lower the quality the harder and less Rinkles you get and the higher the softer and more Rickles you get but yeah I have yet to find an off the rack new or used suit jacket with more then super 160 and most are under that... which as you said is better for working in anyway.

Totally agree on Watch Gang, funny because I just did my 1-year anniversary video with Watch Gang. Love the suite video. I bought a bunch of suits about a decade ago... all from Macy's... "Alfani." My favorite was a Tommy Hilfiger which I was never able to wear. The tailor fitted it to me, and I don't know what happened, but it sure as heck didn't fit. Just now, years later, I actually took it to a seamstress to have it taken out, and love it.

The navy suit that I’m wearing is a Tommy Hilfiger suit from Mens warehouse clearance about a year, year and a half ago. I love it. About $130 for the suit and another $80 or so in tailoring.

I appreciate your video and what you are doing. I completely agree that most content is for those with deep pockets and skinny waists. I do have a recommendation which I think will take it to the next level, each one of those topics can be a video in itself. Share that knowledge brother, not just the how but the why. Keep up the good work!

That’s a good idea. This video didn’t get as many views as I thought it would. Which means it’s not helping as many people as I know it can. Breaking it up into parts will make it more watchable. Not everyone has 20 minutes for a video. Thanks! Expect to start seeing it soon.

Thanks so much for these videos!

[@TheDadBod]

You’re very welcome!

[@gordonmiller1]

Another excellent video! Thank you!

[@TheDadBod]

Thank you! I did not realize how long this one would take when I wrote it in my idea board. Listing out everything I wanted in the video, sorting it out, scripting it, trimming it, recording it multiple times, editing the 4 versions together, figuring out which B-roll to use, trying to ensure viewers eyes don’t get bored with the same zoom/shot… took nearly a week of all of my free time. But in the end, I think it’s worth it. It is my favorite video to date.

I agree , life is an unguided do-it-yourself project. You have to figure everything out for yourself. One of my favorite quotes is by Santayana - "the living have never shown me how to live". So darn true. You hang in there and plow forward anyway. This is why I watch your videos. And of course I do learn some things. Plus, I'm tired of watching the other fashion channels listening to some snob narrate the entire video in a thick, hauty, bourgeois sounding foreign accent.

[@TheDadBod]

That’s a pretty accurate quote.

Very informative video! Well done. What is your favorite suit brand? I've heard many good things about Oliver Wicks and I am planning on giving them a try very soon.

[@TheDadBod]

Right now, Oliver wicks is my favorite. They made the “functional button” suit I used in this video. They also made my wedding tux.

1:34 Wait did they just call Americain Football players fat and ugly? Like I get if they want to just keep the sku.s down and the expertise up but why call out all of us big and tall folk?
