00:00 Problems Well-Dressed Men Have Introduction
As the old saying goes, "clothes make the man"--but is this always true? While dressing up undoubtedly has numerous benefits, a gentleman who is well versed in proper sartorial practices will also be familiar with a few unique pitfalls and problems.
We've compiled a list of #GentlemansProblems from top to bottom of a tailored outfit so you'll be better equipped to overcome them and look your best.
00:55 1. Collar Gap
03:14 2. Shoulder Divots on Jackets
04:28 3. Flyaway Collars
05:19 4. Second Shirt Button in the Wrong Place
06:24 5. Pocket Square Sinking or Rising
07:55 6. Sleeve Length Difficulty
09:26 7. Tie Length
11:39 8. Pleats That Stay Open
12:56 9. Not Being Able To Use Your Pockets
13:58 10. Keeping Light Trousers Clean
15:03 11. Trouser Length
16:21 12. Managing Your Socks
17:58 13. Creases on a Shoe's Vamp
19:33 14. Asymmetrical Shoelaces
20:35 Conclusion
To be honest, all #GentlemansProblems are the result of seeking perfection, the desire to look not only one's best but to be flawless in dress. This idea is fed by images on social media or the larger internet, which are professionally photographed or curated to present a highly refined look. They may present products that are just out of the box with no wear on them, shot under controlled circumstances before having filters applied to them. In reality, such perfection is nearly impossible to maintain. Therefore, especially since most of the people around us will not notice, we should lighten up on issues of dress that only we can see. We can be committed to looking good without agonizing over fastidious concerns.

I was taught tie wear as a boy in a private English school (1969)...it was required that every student know how to dress to 'proper' standards. As boys our ties were of adult length, so: - the front panel was to fall to within one to two inches from your pant waistline - the back panel, being far too long, was to be tucked into the shirt between two buttons just below the sternum and tucked into the waistband behind the shirt.

Call me a nerd, but on the pocket square issue: I cut out rectangular cardboard pieces and now fix every square with 1 to 3 clips; mostly wearing presidential squares or stairs folds, but works as well for a buffed style. You can use the cardboard and clips from a shirt's packaging. Works perfectly fine: nothing moves that shouldn't move, it doesn't build up the pocket and it doesn't cost anything.

@Gilamath. 3 жыл бұрын
Here’s the reason you have a collar gap: the back of your jacket is too short. People underestimate the back of a suit or sport coat, but it can be quite tricky. Conversely, if your jacket back is too long, you will see a “bump” of fabric right below the back of your jacket collar. This, as the video said, is affected by the shoulder, too. Fixing this issue is possible in mild cases, but quite expensive
@Reziac 3 жыл бұрын
Very interesting. So I had to go inspect my jackets (all three of 'em, last worn in a previous century) . The fine fitted wool that started life as a navy dress uniform fits perfectly, end to end. The denim that's looser in the body also sets correctly around the neck. The suede (that makes me look like David Bowie) ... it's gappy, and a bit loose overall across the back. But if I pinch out a bit (like a long dart down the middle of the back) then the collar settles perfectly, and the whole fits more cleanly. Thanks, I would not have thought to look at the back that way without your comment! Might even be not too hard to fix.

Even without a jacket or coat, the shirt looks great from the back. Your thoughts?

One of the biggest flaws with mens fashion is that they no longer make very many waist coats on high end suits. A 3 piece beautifully tailored suit is perfection. If you want it you’ve gotta go bespoke, made to measure, or cheap. I don’t think I’ve seen more than a handful of vests or waistcoats actually made out of high end fabrics like cashmere or high end wool.

Concerning the problem of the vanishing pocket square: Take a sharp (!) safety pin, pin it through the lining of the jacket and the two layers of pocket lining (not the outer fabric!) et voilá! Now your pocket is smaler and that naughty pocket square can no longer retreat into the depths of your jacket. It's a good solutioun if you have a prefered way of wearing your pocket square so the pin can stay in place. If you vary your pocket sqare style often, make sure you use a sharp pin so you don't pull out threads when you change it.

Now that I have a little sartorial education (largely thanks to this channel), flyaway collars absolutely infuriate me. I refuse to wear any jacket and collar combination where the collar doesn't tuck under the lapel. Some of those modern small collars look so silly when they fail to reach the lapel. It completely breaks up and ruins the flow of that area in your outfit.
@ryptoll4801 Жыл бұрын
Too long ties is one of these that continue to be a pet peeve of mine, at least on myself. I tend to "solve" the issue by tying it so that the wider end is at good length and the tuck the excessively long narrow end into my shirt, between two of the buttons. This can however get bulky, so my other solution is to tuck the tie into my pants and wear a waistcoat to hide that.

I know they are great and they are the most comfortable but you need to rotate your shoe colllection to make them last 👌👍

Try a double-four-in-hand (or was it called a five-in-hand?). It’s a normal four-in-hand, except instead of wrapping the tie around once, you do it twice. Takes a few crucial inches off of the tie without being overly show-y the way some other knots can be I once bought a grenadine tie online that was far too long to wear normally but far too beautiful to give up. You want to be careful about what knot you use to tie a grenadine tie, so I had limited options. Thankfully, I found that this knot worked well and didn’t look bulky even with as bulky a tie as a grenadine

Some others are just natural problems because nobody have perfect body shape. For example, I may try to avoid collar gap on the back, but I don't mind side gaps. except pleats that stays open, that's just simply said that my trousers doesn't really do their job 😅

If your pocket square sinks down into your pocket I found that placing a small bit of Kleenex in the bottom of your pocket fixes this quite nicely.

Most common is the pants and sleeves WAY TOO LONG. 99% of men buy off the rack and wear it as is. Take the time to go to a tailer and get alterations done. Buy a Boutonnière!

Full size paper clips make a great collar stay. As far as fit and problems with the jacket collar and shoulder dimples, your shape or lack of one you have has a lot to do with that.

@5:00 The other day I tried using a tie as a pocket square, having never worn a pocket square before and just thought I'd try it out. Apart from the bulge inside the pocket, it actually looked good. But it refused to stay still, kept sinking back into the pocket. I figured it was just because a tie isn't a pocket square and I'm a novice in the whole dressing up thing. Funny to learn, that's actually a general issue with pocket squares :)

I usually buy jackets from Charles Tyrwhitt and Brook Taverner. Jackets are usually available with regular sleeves and short sleeves. CT shirts are available in classic fit, slim fit and extra slim fit with the dress shirts having the option of single and double cuffs and brass collar stiffeners as shown in the video.

I tend to view tie length a little differently, especially when wearing braces, which I always do. When wearing braces, trousers sit higher, at the waist instead of the hips; therefore, the point of the tie should extend past the top of the trousers, but not more than 1/2 or 3/4 of an Inch. Also, I personally feel that suspenders with clips look cheap when compared to braces with buttons, which have an old-school elegance.

With collar gap I only tend to get that issue prominently when my jacket is unbuttoned, so it may be partly because of a weight difference, so I try to keep a wallet in one side and phone in the other to balance it out

I am not a man who is conversant with the sartorial world. I truly enjoyed this video, and I will employ as much of this knowledge as I can when I need to dress well and not look like a rube. Total thumbs up. As a humorous aside, when you began explaining the details of your own attire at the end of the video, I got a bit of a Patrick Bateman vibe such as when he was discussing business cards. By the way, do you like Huey Lewis and The News? In particular, I like Sports.

@uber_chbeb 3 жыл бұрын
The way he stands, with one hand in the pocket and the other one pointing something, it creates a slight collar gap. I am 100% convinced that in normal position there is absolutely no collar gap. I cannot imagine his tailor let him go away with a collar gap after the first fitting.

I agree . One can have a beautiful, elegant vehicle, but if the wheels look cheap, dirty , or not the right style, the whole look is damaged. The same with a wardrobe aka menswear.Ine can have a great suit , but if the shoes are cheap, unpolished, wrong style & color , the whole overall look is . . . RUINED !!!

I recommend outward-opening pockets for women, because we have fuller hips, unlike men. This lets the section over the tummy lie flat, and the extra fabric of the open pleat to give needed the fullness to accommodate the hips. But, I agree with your recommendation for men, unless a man has extra weight, then it’s worth trying both to see which is more flattering.

I love collared shirts on men and on me, even though I’m a women, they look nicer and frame and highlight the face. I always feel better in a knit polo than a t-shirt. Those too-small collars have been on women’s wear, too, for years. I hate them, they look so twee, like for baby clothes. I don’t like big ones, either; standard is standard for a good reason, it just looks the best! My husband always wore a nice collared shirt, sleeves usually rolled up, and clean, dark jeans to the university where we met. He always fit in, he just dressed better than many and he caught my eye (one guy in our department wore only pajamas shorts every day!). One day I noticed his big cyclist’s forearms with their golden blond hair catching the sun, instant chemistry!

I have my suits custom made, and when the tailor is making adjustments, I always insert my wallet, cellphone, keys, other items for which I use the pockets into the jacket, so the tailor measures with these "bulges" to streamline the jacket fit when buttoned I also always have "soft shoulders", i.e. minimal shoulder padding to prevent what you call "shoulder divit" With respect the tie length, and to save on staining ties from eating (which never dry clean well- they lose their bouncy texture), I wear bow ties, and then, try to buy "diamond tips" so I don't have try too much to align the ends too much. Although, I understand many men do not prefer bow ties.
