You certainly got the right host for it. I felt like I was being elevated, rather than being talked down to, which can so easily happen when it comes to fashion.

1:54 Wow that brings back memories. My late dad had a suit made for him in a very similar fabric way back (sometime between the 1940s and 1960s). He only had two suits which lasted him decades and they never dated. Unfortunately he was much shorter than I am.

There was a great current affairs show in the 1970s that sent a reporter to be totally fitted out with bespoke suit, shirts and shoes. It ran for a number of weeks....it was absolutely fascinating. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the show. To counteract that one, the same reporter did another series where he lived as a homeless person in London. Brilliant stuff, that unfortunately isn’t done nowadays.

I live in the states.. and watched an episode that compared different suits and the last was a bespoke suit. While it is way out of my current price budget. They are excellently crafted suits and one day I hope that I will be in a wealth range where a bespoke suit makes sense to me. They truly are beautiful. I wouldn't go into their high range where they go to $20-30k and more. I could never justify that.

There's no such thing as an "investment piece" in the garment industry. Your rags will go out of fashion, deteriorate and get ruined with stains and wear. Here's some rules of thumb: 1) Determine your budget. 2) Try to purchase a suit that will last. 3) If your budget is small, think outside of the brick and mortar retail establishment and go to a Sample Sale, a Clearance in a major Garment Capital, a Consignment Shop or a Thrift Store. 4) Always figure into the cost a hundred dollars for basic alterations. There. You've got your first suit. It should last 5-7 years. It will not be your last suit...if you are doing life right.

You could talk to those tailors about how some make potential customers (esp. those on a budget) feel when they go in to see them. They have always made me feel like an inferior member of the lower class. As one example, I came into Crane Brothers in Wellington NZ with an older suit jacket I got from a thrift store (all I could afford) to be tailored. I have never been able to afford a suit of any price point - and yes I have tried very hard to be in a position to. The rep gave service but def left me feeling miserable and downtrodden - out of my league. I saw on the owner's blog that they gift suits to ppl, which I think is very uplifting and an awesome idea kinda similar to programs offered to young women around the world who have suffered domestic abuse or some other setbacks and are returning to the workforce. Problem is Crane Brothers required an involved (probably invasive) interview process where you had to prove extremely worthy of the gifted suit. While I get that they don't want to gift it to an idiot, the wording of the contingency struck me as potentially another demeaning experience. I really respected Crane Brothers for having their finger on the pulse of high end men's fashion, but I now have to wonder if tailoring/tailors of today have retained the same arrogance, stuffy, rigid, intimidating, hostile, unapproachable culture of excluding exclusivity. And whether their wares are still made for limited accessibility, reserved for the elite old boys in secret circles rather than all those with exquisite tastes. The present attitudes and customer interaction seem to be of an era and generation long gone by. Maybe Jim's infiltration could be the start of changing that.

+wild reed Mens apparel at all price points is already exponentially more expensive than womens. Generally speaking - actually, by-and-large, men who dont have the typical body and shoe size are totally under-served in all shops, online and otherwise. Being a man who doesnt wear a size 36 inch or less, especially if he has a bum and/or thighs, is just miserable and expensive. You wind up treating 3 shirts and 3 trousers that were hard to come by and expensive as prized possessions that you dread any damage to. And good luck finding a belt (even a sliding clasp styled one) even if you live in the US, where there is more of everything. If womens fashion caters to the the typical women (who isn't so typical at all), mens fashion bastardizes and shuns any guy with a body that isnt typical. God forbid you wear a shoe bigger than 11US or have a bum that isnt 2 dimensional. Mens style/fashion not only glorifies, but only acknowledges the lean guy with a swimmers body or the fit guy with big arms/chest and narrow waist who can afford & has time for a gym. Im getting angry now so its time for me stop typing.

+wild reed Actually I have more to say. The "big men's" stores are a joke that has never been funny. They are awash with overpriced clothing that is the most basic of basic, and any creative flair begins with a large flared square collar and a floral Hawaiian pattern. I can feel my blood starting to boil now. Thing Is I am not even a big guy, I have just always had a bum and thighs, so pants do not exist anywhere in the world for me. I must buy 8 sizes too big and it's a struggle to find a belt that's, including the one I end up with which is just as over-sized so I have to put my own holes in it. This circumstance is funny to most people, even into adulthood...

@TheRealBubfield405

If you're talking about the bespoke tailor that Jim was talking to, or Mr. David Taub, then you're incorrect. 1. His suit and shirt sleeve length fit well. He's showing about 1/2 inch of shirt cuff which is what's usually recommended. His shirt sleeve's length ends just right after his wrist bone, and also doesn't start covering up the palm of his hand, which is how it should be. The suit sleeve is 1/2 inch shorter than the shirt sleeve, and ends just before the wrist bone, or almost right on top of it. 2. His suit and shirt width also fit well. The shirt sleeve width is in proportion with the suit sleeve width, which is another common mistake most beginners make. The shirt and suit sleeve width looks to have very likely been tailored judging by how well it conforms to the bespoke tailor's arm width. It isn't too wide or too tight at all. 3. The suit fits his shoulders well, despite what some people seem to think. The shoulders stick out and look unusual, but that is completely intentional. It is a part of the design, not a mistake in the fit. Notice how there are not shoulder divots - the shoulder isn't collapsing/dragging down from being big, and it doesn't look tight at all around his bicep and tricep area when his arms are resting. Also, you can tell the shoulders aren't super tight by looking at how there are no stress marks in the fabric on his upper back at around 3:30. 4. His suit collar isn't showing any gaps from his shirt collar also shown around 3:30. 5. His suit is tapered around the waist, but it also doesn't look tight around the waist, either, as you can see there aren't very noticeable stress marks on the front of the suit. Look at 2:36. And again, at 3:30 if you look at the lower back you can see the suit is tapered around the waist. 6. His shirt's collar fits snugly but provides about 1/2 inch of space for comfort, which is the general recommendation by fit experts. 7. The suit's armholes are cut quite high, which helps to emphasize one's waist and chest, and make the suit look more tapered and slim. It's not like some "off-the-rack" suits that have sort of a boxy cut to them from large armholes. 8. The lapels of the suit lie flat and are accommodated by Mr. David Taub's chest very nicely. All in all, I know your comment is 6 months old and you're probably going to be like "I don't care anymore about this topic," but it really bothered me to read your comment. Don't be one of those comment section "experts," please. I used to be sort of like that so it's a little hypocritical of me to criticize you, but I accept the hypocrisy in exchange for informing and correcting you.

English guys dress like crap. Can't believe how we made a name for ourselves with tailoring.

CrazyStupidGamers if we're talking about the classic suits look, there's no one that beats the Brits. the average Brits might be the worst dresser out there, but they're extremely serious with their suits.
