Great video. The only piece of advice I can offer is to not worry too much about going 11/11, especially when going off the rack. Depending on how you are built, it can get quite hard to nail each aspect. Do your best to hit as many of the marks you can and you'll look great, especially during this current 'loose fit' meta.

This is so true. I bought a suit jacket 10 years ago that seems perfect on the shoulders and the overall length seems right. But it can be seen as too wide or loose if buttoned (which can be fixed by hemming the sides) but I like wearing it opened and I think it looks good and even a friend of mine who is usually critical clothing said it looks good on me.

Thank you for producing a good quality video on the importance of fit. Most men's fashion videos these days are all the same. They preface on the assumption that all men are skinny, scraggly, and have thin, chicken legs. If you're a dude who spends even just a few days a week working out in a gym then you're going to have bigger shoulders and upper arms, you're going to have a bigger chest, and you're going to have thighs and glutes. And if you don't work out then you're either obese or have a dad-bod with at least a bit of a belly. The average man today falls into one of these two latter categories, and seriously, how many times have you seen a fat guy in a skinny suit and thought it was a good look? The suits they're pushing as 'modern' now are too tight, and short and don't look masculine at all. I had a buddy who was suited like this for his wedding. The tailor kept telling him how good it looked, but he looked ridiculous. The jacket was so tight that he couldn't freely move his arms, and the pants were too short and tight. The suit looked at least two sizes too small, but the tailor kept telling him that this is the look that guys are wearing now. Maybe, but its not a good look for some. Form-fitting clothing look great on women with thin, curvy bodies but they NEVER look good on dudes. I took him to my 'old-school' tailor, and that dude fixed him up in a much better looking suit that fit him perfectly. Yes, it was 'traditional' and 'conservative' but it was also very masculine, and a really sharp look. A suit should fit one's body, not the tailor's idea of modernity. .

Pants this tapered make the shoes look gigantic and put of proportion in my opinion. Especially if you have a larger shoe size, you start looking like a stickman on skis. Straight cut with full break give so much better proportions overall.

@@BrockMcGoff The first bespoke attempt was closer to a perfect collar fit but there was still a little bit of gap. The tailor said that it was the best he could do. I actually took the suit to another bespoke tailor to see if he could diagnose and fix the problem and he noticed that the collar was about 1/2" too long so he shortened it. Now it fits snug on my neck with no gap at all. My neck is 13 1/2" around and I think some tailors might have a mental block where they just won't go smaller than 14" for some reason. Just a theory.

I tried to return it or get a store credit and they refused, saying I chose the jacket. The next one will fit better. But hugo boss staff should not be trusted in assisting customers on the fit of a jacket.

That's an acceptable fit. It used to be known as the American sack fit and was the staple in America until the 50s. It's a very vintage look. Robert Downey Jnr also pulls that off when he's in a three piece. Recently Americans are blindly copying the svelte Continental fit, forgetting that that fit is meant for the slimmer European physique. So many "trendy" Americans look like clowns with their body hugging blouse fits and socks visible even when standing because they went comically no break.

I think this is very much a personal preference. It really depends on region, current fashion, and pant construction. A lot of European slimmers suits have a higher hem than American cut suits. Especially those of older fit styles. I personally have started to like the no break look for pants without cuffs/turn-ups. Just as long as they have a tapered or slimmer leg opening.

@@deanfowlkes If you have a no break tapered pants hem, it makes your shoes look longer, like you're wearing clown shoes. the pants hem should cover at least half of the shoe length to give classical proportions down there.

@@Kids11111 - I can respect your opinion. It is only that, an opinion. An opinion that is following the trend that is relevant to your particular tastes. After all, fully visible stockings were around a lot longer than full-break trouser. Personally, I prefer dress and casual boots rather than shoes. So, seeing my socks while I am standing is not an issue. While sitting, it would not matter where your break is. Overly long shoes and skinny ankles would still make you look like you are wearing clown shoes. By the way, notice that my previous text said slimmer or tapered. Not the baggy look that characterized what men in the, 80s , and 90s wore. Or, what out of shape men wore to hide their proportions.

@@deanfowlkes I agree about stockings, but they were paired with the appropriate knee lengths of the time. Classically the rule used to be that the trousers be wide enough at the hem to cover two thirds of the shoe length with a break being necessary. Now it is something akin to half. That ensures the total absence of the clown shoes effect because the proportions fool the eye. The skinny build of the ankles becomes irrelevant when hidden in that manner. I know this will be further opinion, but I highly recommend the youtube channel "AskOkey" for anyone of similar thought to me.

The thing that annoys me the absolute most on a suit jacket is 'collar roll' ; the bunching up of excess fabric just below the collar on the back of a jacket. It is invariably just plain ugly and one of the most visible signs of a poorly fitting suit or jacket.. It occurs if you have more square shoulders than the usual slightly sloping shoulders. It can be corrected by a good tailor, but takes a reasonable amount of work. I am a bit surprised that this is not discussed.

Great video, however, no tips on double breasted suits. Following your suggestion on how tied the jacket should be, I think double breasted suits should be I bit looser to give you that elegant look. What do you think? I owned 32 suits, most of them taylored others from the rack, nothing in my opinion is more elegant than a double breasted suit and/or a well taylored three piece suit. I thank you for helping us men to wear suits the way they suppose to be. Some men, for the most part, are ignorant about ways to dress formally. They think than wearing a suit makes it dressing formally. I wish more men should watch your video.

When buttoned up all the way, the front of the jacket at the bottom flares out to a point a good 3 or 4 inches from my waist and I don't know if it's supposed to do that...also the trousers don't seem to come up as high on the waist as I usually wear pants and such (which is usually just under the bellybutton but I have a bit of a gut so that's kind of an issue in itself) Do you think I need to get it altered?

Even with bespoked suits, as we age and we physically change, and as we change our perception of fashion, the perfect fit will change.

Good video, Brock! It's great that you could provide so much information in 12 minutes. Antonio would turn this into a capital project! Plus, he would tell you to buy a sewing machine and do your own tailoring! I like the way you broke things down. There is only one thing I would have added, and that is the taper of the pant. I find heavier guys look a little odd when the pant is too tapered. Things should be proportional to your size in my opinion. Thanks! 😊

Go with wide lapel 100%, a little wider shoulder is fine depending your head size, bad wide shoulder looks is mostly bad tailoring.

I got a slim fit off the rack suit and the vest and blazer fit perfectly. However, the pants have a low rise and it's tight in the upper thighs and crotch. Is there anything I can do to loosen the upper thighs and add more room in the crotch?

What about bunching behind my neck because of my shoulders? I seem to have this with any jacket I have. Can this be fixed?

Friendly correction; arm hole can be altered. Depending on how much can be let out or taken in. Shoulder is a different complication better left alone.

The fit is also dependent on you physique. This is probably more important. Get in an exercise routine.

Any recommendation for off the shelf high rise dress pants? Lower rise pants, those that sit right on the waist line, are very common

I went to Mens Wearhouse here in Utah, and found they are doing a custom suit deal for 400. Again, the material probably isn't like the greatest (I'm not real familiar with material so I'm assuming), but again, it will be a really good fit so I think it's worth it.

If the fit is right, and it's a non-polyester suit for $400, that's a great deal (no matter where you bought it).

Another option is Jos. A. Banks for cheap “custom” suits. If you have one in your area. I think their fabric quality may be a little bit better for the same price or less. They are still not a Brioni. But, do you really need a Brioni?

Thank you SO MUCH for this current look at men's suits. My son just appeared on TV and we realized that he desperately needs a correctly fitted suit. He is 24 years old, 6'2, 275 lb. Where should he look? He has had 2 suits before that no longer fit, and he's grown through several blue blazers. Do we go to a department store? Men's Wearhouse? An old school men's store? He works in central KY where clothes can be traditional which he doesn't mind, but he doesn't want to look 50. Custom is not an option due to cost. Approximately how much might he expect to have to pay? He will probably be buying a new navy blazer and khakis for more casual events especially in the south. I'd appreciate any advice you have. Thank you!
