@@AskOkeyInc What's unfortunate is that most grown man in the industry can't understand that times are changing and people are looking for up to date look that fits current standards of beauty and style. Just like when they were developing that English drape or American Sack style - they also criticized the outdated cuts that came before. You can of course choose to be stuck in a certain point in history but that doesn't mean everyone else is wrong, given the fact that we're living in 2020's, and not in 1930's. It's just nostalgia and inability/unwillingness to adapt, nothing more. Argument that you're making could as well be used for ancient Roman garments or any ethnic clothing anywhere in the world, promoting them as a pinnacle of fashion. Get over it.

@@chelo4197 Timeless elegance? We know exactly when they style came into fashion, don't speak about "timeless". Fashion changes, always has, always will. There are no timeless pieces, everything has it's limited period of appeal. If you choose to wear a certain style, that's your choice, but making it a standard of style for entire world, for all cultures and all generations is simply nonsensical, egoistical and narrow-minded. I don't wear what my favorite artists are wearing. I wear what I like. I also don't make shallow judgements about someone's style and habits based on yt comments.

Excellent video Sir. I am a black American man that was around in the 80's during the, "Designer Jeans" era. I have an athletic build. I could not wear jeans from every designer. Many just were not cut for my build. It was during that time that I learned the lesson in your video. Same holds true for hair styles. Not everyone has the head shape, hair line, etc for every style. I'm forwarding this video to my son. He's 21 years old and finding his style. He loves to be well dressed, groomed and good smelling. I'm finding great value in your videos and I look forward to new ones. Your information is greatly appreciated and helpful. Please continue to put them out. God bless!

Finally, a man who understands how suits used to be cut. Think Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Clark Gable and famous actors from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Suits are meant to be elegant with proper handwork, not some form-fitting garment you see today. Trousers are meant to be cut high at the waist and fall onto the dress shoe or boot. That is proper draping of fabric. Can have suits made from amazing textile mills and you can't show off the fabric if the suit fits like athletic wear.

The movement has begun and I'm here for it. As a young boy I would sit on my mother's lap as she pressed on the Singer paddle. Fashion is in my genes. With that said, I feel some sort of way about the Sack and Drape name attributed to American male designs. Surely you remember Willy Smith of Willy Wear fame who gave the world the deconstruction loose fitting suits and jackets. Bill Blass and Perry Ellis were other Americans making the roomier clothes because they concluded the average American is not a David or Adonis and needs room for his paunch belly. We learned that a man shouldn't wear clothes that either look like he couldn't afford enough fabric or like it's inherited from a far bigger parent or relative. So perhaps the middle ground is to have both. You have a follower here and keep up the great work. Just stood up for American designers and fit men who don't want to Drape and Sack.😊

Excellent point about the tailor being good at making the suit but few have an eye for design. I have had so many suits and jackets that are uncomfortable to wear even though it was made for me. Another point is that they are always in a such a hurry to move on to the next customer, that the process feels rushed.

@AskOkeyInc 8 ай бұрын

I’ve said this many times Tim. And I wish it put on record … Many tailors are POOR ARCHITECTS but good ENGINEERS They have NO EYE for BALANCE, PROPORTION and SILHOUETTE These things are quite different from CUTTING and SEWING. On the contrary, I’ve seen many bespoke garments from Saville Row which fit quite well (good tailoring) but look horrible on the wearer PROFF

As a Cameroonian woman living in Cameroon, Bespoke garments are very out of reach for me but I like to think I'll own a couple in time. I do love suits and I've been investing in my wardrobe a lot over the years. I've been working with the same tailor for well over a decade now and the creation of one piece (whatever it may be) is usually a long wait period and an insane amount of backs and forths. Your videos are very insightful and I'm happy I came accross them because I'll be able to communicate with my tailor better. Ps. My tailor is a sweetheart, I love her because she always listens to me and she delivers always. Thank you so much. Best regards, Bei.

I have learned in the last ten years of wearing suits daily, that the suit is a FUNCTIONAL garment. It was THE ONLY garment any Western man would wear for centuries. It must be functional. I have also learned that I began my journey at a mere 120 lbs, and 6'2". I am no nearly 200 and not all good weight. I have learned to adapt my style to match my build. And the drape cut is fantastic. I cannot and would not wear the close cuts of the old custom suits I had made. I grew very tired of struggling simply to tie my shoes. I started to realize this after I bought a bespoke suit from the 1970s. It was clearly designed for movement and action. The flare of the trouser is not achieved with tightness through the thigh, but proper drape when standing elegantly. The high armholes fit my thin arms and allow me so much range of movement, but the drape of the chest and full coat seat make me look quite thin through the waist. I was extremely fortunate to find this piece, as the only difference between myself and the gentleman who had it made 50 years ago is that my torso is about 1/4" longer. Heavier weights, proper canvasing, proper drape. My latest pieces are very flattering, and give me the appearance of a thin waist, but more powerful chest (all lies of course).

I used to hate the baggy suit aesthetic from the 80s-90s, but after adopting a more loose vintage laidback (slightly elegant) fashion sense, I think *if the fit is right,* a little bag wouldn’t hurt anybody. I still prefer the decorative and fitted suits of the European Victorian era - the American 1950s, but baggy suits ain’t all that bad… IF it’s done tactfully in all the right places.

Jacob, We must learn to properly distinguish a BAGGY suit from the DRAPE CUT The DRAPE CUT is a well shaped garment cut to accommodate lots of room and a full range of motion The problem as it see it is that men in this age have seen nothing but TIGHT DIVING SUITS. And so anything that does not STICK TO THE SKIN looks BAGGY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE PLEASE SEE THE FULL VIDEO for more detail on the DIFFERENCE between BAGGY and DRAPE CUT kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9VmhL2ktNy3dIU.htmlsi=QpUQeTVUP3FScysk PROFF

It's not baggy, it's how clothing used to be tailored. It's actually more comfortable and elegant for a man's appearance. You will never hear a man today say a suit is comfortable, and that's because they're cut so near the body range of motion is limited. A proper, traditional fitting suit you can wear all day without issue. But that art form is endangered with modern fast-fashion.

I uh… didn’t realize I’d cause so much offense with my original comment. There was no intent behind what I said, I was just passively stating a personal observation/opinion. I’m in no way an advocate for modern form fit suits, those are hideous and are in no way shape or form elegant.

Fascinating. It's refreshing to hear the truth about these styles and tendencies where there is too much focus on the country of origin and/or the house style of such and such tailoring house. A perfect example of bad fit is Daniel Craig insistence on slim fitting suits for his role as Bond which makes him look like a stuffed sausage in many of his last Bond movies. The worst was his pink Anderson and Shepard velvet suit he wore for a U.S. gala after his last Bond movie which was atrocious! A&S should be ashamed of letting him out the door looking like that!

It occurred to me many young men don't know the basics, like how to tie a regular tie, let alone tie a bow tie. If they had a father in the house hold he did not know and so did not teach his son these basic things. You are doing a great service to young men who desire to represent themselves as cultured gentlemen.

As often is with things, the midway through can be the best of both worlds. I learnt that the drape cut is shaped like an Italian suit but as comfortable as an American and that is great indeed: after all, clothes have to be worn and fit the body otherwise it's a pain to use them for ceremonies and such 😂

@AskOkeyInc 8 ай бұрын

The drape suit is shaped VERY differently than an Italian suit. It's almost the polar opposite it terms of structure and shape. The Drape cut uses structure, sufficient room and proportions to create shape around the body. The Italian cut conceals as little as possible, which is unflattering for most mens' physique.

Absolutely superb, interesting, and informative video! My preference order is the English, the sack and full (full sack? 😂), but not the European/Continental style (being built like the man described at around 13:00 mark). The description given of the English cut very accurately describes the fit of the highest quality 15th to 17th suit of Armour! Very appropriate for the English style! *As an aside, Oakey should be Dr. Who!*
