I really appreciate how genuine these guys are. No ulterior motives or advertising, they’re just trying to help you look good

That's the goal! Some videos are sponsored but you can take the knowledge and apply it to any brand you prefer.

To me the proportions of Blake's suit jacket seem off. The sleeves seem a bit too short and the top button looks too high. Just my opinion

No offense, but the "tailored" suit looks too tight with too short sleeves. The darker suit looks good, even though it's not altered.

@gentslounge 7 жыл бұрын

I'll agree that his shirt sleeves may be a tad long but the suit sleeves are where he like them to be. It's all personal preference when it comes to tailoring. -G

@MrDiarukia 7 жыл бұрын

It seems, that the waist of the tailored is a little bit too small. You can see it stretching.

@kongmw 7 жыл бұрын

They definitely over did the waist. It's so pulled so tight that the shirt is showing. Not a good look.

@cam7eron1 7 жыл бұрын

Definitely, its way to tight in the waist, too short, the sleeves are too short and the shoulders are showing the beginnings of bunching (jacket is too damn small!).

@Trotsky1981 7 жыл бұрын

Not to mention the buttoning point is ridiculously high, the jacket is too short and pants too tight in the thigh. These guys don't have a very good understanding of fit or proportion so it's hard to take their advice seriously. But their videos are well made if nothing else.

Good job, have a thumbs up. I'm currently getting a custom suit made from scratch at a trusted tailor of mine. It's insane how many different options there are (canvas, etc, lapel stitching). Can you do a video on going to a tailor for a custom suit? Fundamental things you should always ask for in your custom suit?

if the sleeves are long enough, roll them once or twice, it usually works for me.

Great video, although I think Blake's jacket sleeves are a little short. It looks OK when his arms are straight but once they are at an angle they look a bit short.

@gentslounge 7 жыл бұрын

I think it's his shirt sleeves being too long that are affecting the look.

Could you guys do a video on how you found your tailor. Did you do trial and error and what to look for in a proper tailor. Great video btw, keep up the great work

@gentslounge 7 жыл бұрын

Gino, Friend recommendations, yelp reviews, and trial and error. Best to take a test pair of anything in before trusting a tailor with your expensive stuff. Thrifted, old clothes, or fast fashion options work great for this. -G

Great video! I've actually been looking into buying a sewing machine to do slight modifications to my clothes. Simple things like adding darts, tapering, and hemming. Do you two think that's a good thing gentleman should know? There is just something so rewarding about working with your hands.

@gentslounge 7 жыл бұрын

If you have the time and the extra clothes to learn we definitely think it would be worth it. We actually cut out a part of this video mentioning we should just learn how to do it ourselves and we would save a ton of money. -G

@walidsabir5411 7 жыл бұрын

Guys, when your tailor shorten the sleeves length, does he do it from the shoulders or at the end of the sleeve?

@gentslounge 7 жыл бұрын

Usually at the end of the sleeve. That's why most off the rack suits don't have functional buttons so they can just move them up easily. -G

@asacco2698 Жыл бұрын

Like you say, better to have an off the rack suit that's already reasonably dialed in, so that the tailor will need to do less. Still, a lot of suits the sleeves are too baggy too much material in the upper back below the collar. Also, the pants legs are usually too wide and not tapered . so regardless, best to have the tailor tweak to your taste.

I would never buy bigger shirts, your collar will be to wide, especially if you have a thin neck, look for brands which fit your neck-shoulder-arm proportionen well, the body will often be way to wide.

@gentslounge 7 жыл бұрын

For me, what fits in the neck and shoulders is huge in the waist. -G

@leonardschumann9212 7 жыл бұрын

that's what i mean, the waist is even on slim fit shirts, in which i can barely fit because i have 39" chest, cut very wide sometimes even the hip area, which makes tucking them in untailored neatly impossible.
