Wednesdays will still be for "industry" videos, I am just working through some new ones and changes to my current process. Also working on a "Kavalier Business Model Breakdown" as part of that series. Let me know what else you're excited to see videos on in the coming weeks!

The Kavalier order another pair of trousers/pants as they will deteriorate I've noticed with my suits the pants tend to go quickly than the blazer so with an extra pair you can always get rid off the first pair& replace them with a second pair

@marcderk279 5 жыл бұрын

Hello The Kavalier I was wondering if I should get this suit it fits my price range and I like the options , I don't really wear suits as I'm not in any professional environment I would only use it for occasions like Easter ,funerals And events like that . Also I am 16 years old , Do you think it is worth it as I won't be able to wear it for very long because I would out grow it in a couple years Thanks

Hockerty have a Half canvas construction in their suits and if you want to have sidetabs on the pants you could send an email to them and ask. They are really helpful.

@adambate5844 6 жыл бұрын

Not sure if this helps, I spoke to Hockerty about suspender buttons and side tabs as that’s what I prefer, the gentleman said if you email or live chat once ordered with your confirmation number they can alter it their end. Likewise the jackets are half canvas from what he said. Looking forward to receiving my order from them!

Have you ever considered doing a head-to-head comparison of some "Basics"-wear brands? I am inundated with ads on Facebook for a variety of brands that purport to make the most comfortable t-shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants. Brands like Buck Mason, Pact, Kotn, Rhone, Sebastian Fierri, Goodlife, etc....

@The_Kavalier 6 жыл бұрын

I have thought about it but the list seems so long with such little differentiation. Add the price tiers across the brands and I'd be looking at dozens of shirts. Something I can get to but for now I am trying to prioritize suits, shoes, underwear and "business casual" but would never rule it out.

@whatebuh 6 жыл бұрын

Fair enough. I work in advertising so my style is edgier than yours in general although I still appreciate the videos. You have a lot of content supporting professional and business casual. Might broaden your audience with a few evening "comfort wear" reports. Just something for you to consider. Thanks!

People need to stop hating on the brown shoe, black suit combo. When I sold clothes, if I had a client who was just starting out I would lean them toward medium brown or cordovan/burgundy shoes 👞 and accessories as they are extremely versitile. They can be worn with pretty much anything

Before I really got into mens suiting I did a suit from them (back when they were tailor4less) and had the worse experience. Let's just say I no longer own the suit and I purchased it less than two years ago. The fit was terrible and I tried to tailor it but it couldn't be fixed. And they didn't do a remake. I sent them pics of the garment on me and they said "looks good to us". Jacket had excess fabric on the hip and coat length was too short. I would never recommend this company to anyone

@kendallpeacock7208 Жыл бұрын

AVOID Hockerty!!! I have ordered from Hockerty since they were Tailor4Less (10+ years). On my last order of 13 dress shirts, 5 were sent without the collar interliner or sewn in collar stays. I reached out to customer service about the manufacturing issue. Customer service proceeded to tell me I choose "soft collars" in the customization. I explained I did not and that "soft collars" was not even an option to choose. I was then told on the advanced version of their website it was an option. I emailed back that I was not even aware there was an advanced version of their website and would be happy to show them via Zoom what my configuration options are. They responded back, sorry I choose the option and they made the shirts as I requested therefore they would do nothing. So I am now stuck with 5 of 13 dress shirts that are made incorrectly. After 10+ years, I will never order from Hockerty again and I suggest you save yourself the same frustration and lost money.

I love the caddy that you have with the brush where did you get it? Great video. I have a confession. I am a little in love with Alain Dupetit. I beat those suits like red headed step children and feel nothing when I throw them away. The jackets are great over jeans for a more polished look, and to be honest in my field of work where I get spit on and have restraints etc (DOC Social Worker) I can make them work and not ruin good suits anymore. Thoughts?

The caddy I found at a local vintage shop for $20! I have found the same one on Ebay for upwards of $100 but don't have the name handy. I think the function of AD suits is perfect for your situation.

But now that last delay hasn't been respected like the two previous ones, it has been 41 days I am waiting and I am tired of that situation None delay has been respected and therefore I do have the right to claim a refund Waiting for a quick answer It starts to be not nice... Believe me I would like to leave a good review. But you dont seem to want it
