I had a great dad growing. He taught me about dressing up. How to tuck a shirt, how to button it correctly, how to do a belt right etc He passed away when I was 25 and we never got the chance to dress up together while I was an adult. Fast forward 6 years later and here I am, getting coached by a legend in the game! Thanks for all you do Antonio. You've filled many voids my dad left, and for that Sir I am forever grateful! God bless you and your family!

I'm a barber who wears a suit and tie to work daily as does the other barbers in my shop. I had a customer tell me the other day that he can never wear a suit because it gives him anxiety. Now I've heard it all.

Gents... I am a member of Antonio's style community and it is awesome! It tells you that you are not alone in the style world LOL

I listen to my master, while painting cars 🚘 👨‍🎨

Love the videos, been a fan for a long time. In the UK we call it "off the peg" for an off the rack buy and a "tailored suit" is one custom or made to measure. I am a big fan of suits and love my collection, I've always worn suits since starting my working career (20+ years now) I work in London City Square mile. Trust me fit is the most important thing. I could only afford 100 pound suits when I joined the workforce however the guys around me in 5k suits thought mine was tailored and expensive because mine fit perfect. I would spend 4 hours finding the perfect fit then adding accessories to accentuate the style and look. RMRS is amazing and your videos are so good. Thanks again.

Man, I wish I had this thorough guide 10 years ago. But even now, I appreciate and have learned tons about suits. Much appreciated!

The editor going crazy on this

@Real Men Real Style These vids, especially these longer ones, are supremely informative and inspiring. Can’t thank you enough for diligently and intelligently crafting them, and allowing many of us to nerd out over suits 👍👏

It was cool to see a younger version of Antonio describing the best suit's color in the video. A blast from the past.

he's right, when I went in to get my custom suit, I knew exactly what I wanted, which fabrics and which style, it was very easy for the tailor

What a wealth of information! I almost feel guilty watching for free. Thanks Antonio!

The best suit guide I've seen on KZfaq, well done.

Never buy a suit on-line. It's only until you try it on and feel the quality of the material will you know it's decent.

Yikes! Tony, Tony....at 10.38 what were you thinking?! Olive green jacket with a purple tie and blue on white striped shirt? No, no ,no ! Bad boy!

This video is being excellent! Love it! Thank you for sharing. Now…I just need a social life where I actually need a suit…

Great remake and always excellent advice. I think in today's world a dark brown, especially with a birdseye weave, is perfectly acceptable in a business/city environment, it is down to the cut. My goto is exactly that a button-one dark brown birdseye.

Thanks for the class, brother. I appreciate you.

#1 advice, if you live within any realistic distance of NYC, find when your favorite designer is doing their sample sale, go on day 3 or 4. You'll be able to get killer suits that are usually $3000, for under $750 each.

I used to wear only french cuffs with gold or silver cufflinks, I love the turned back cuff. As life went on, I really got tired of the cufflinks clanking on desks, bartops, counters, etc. I took the jump and started ordering made to measure shirts with opera/cocktail cuffs, like in the old 007 movies. Most people don't even know what they are, lol, but I'm so much happier not having to deal with cufflinks and still having the turnback at the sleeve, particularly when my jacket is off...so much lighter. If you do this, make sure you give the shirtmaker accurately measured wrist circumference.

This session is eye opening, --and mind-expanding: Watch for years' of trial-and-error lessons in one enjoyable presentation!

Love your work and content! I ride a motorcycle to commute almost daily. And being in a tropical country, it's pretty hot and wet here. While I wear full gear when riding, I often find myself dressed in quick drying fabric clothes that are usually used for sports or gym settings. If I were to dress up, what would be suitable? A shirt with tie, and probably a vest under the safety jacket? I'm not keen on giving up the safety jacket.

This is an outstanding video. Very informative for those of us who don’t wear suits. Semper Fi

I never buy clothes online, i only buy off rack in a clothes store. Where i live there is no tailors who can do a suit. But we have largest store in Sweden. I bought my suit about 20 years ago, i use it maybe once every second year. I am a hardhat and steeltoes guy.

I realize everyone can’t afford bespoke, which is why you should go with custom. When you have the paints made they should have side adjusters or bottoms for spenders and a fishtail back. A well dressed gentleman does not wear a belt with a suit, which destroys the line of a suit. This is specially true for a three piece suit. If you a having a black formal suit made it should have either peak lapels or shawl lapels. No notched lapels. It should also have no flaps on the pockets, a single button and no vent. While it not necessary I love no back pockets, which creates a smother line for the pants.

The definitive suit movie 😂

I wish you posted this a week ago! I just bought a suit for my friend's wedding lol.

A timely video. I'll be buying my first suit in a few weeks at Men's Wearhouse. Good tips. Thanks.

Great video, always happy to learn from you on how to look presentable.

Great video. Where does everyone recommend for suit separates? I prefer having two pairs of pants per jacket. thank you!

Great video, very detailed.

Very informative video. Thank you, I learned a lot 🙏

I decided to go custom with suitsuppy because I am heavy built and off the rack doesnt work for me. its not an easy process mainly because I dont feel that they know how to make it fit properly for my body type. hopefully it will work out

Great video, thank you. From New Zealand.

So much good info

This is hands down one of the best videos on the internet, on any subject. I can't believe there's no cats in it.

One at a time, very well said.

Can you do a video on the different types of tie knots? Mainly, the tie knot Bill Skarsgard's character, The Gran Marquis, was wearing frequently in John Wick 4. That is a very nice knot. I want to learn how to tie that knot.

This is the best one stop video! Do you have one for shoes?

Antonio, which men's store do you show in your videos all the time? is it in Madison, Green Bay, or Milwaukee?

Love that video

This proves one thing. If you want a good suit you got to go to Mount Pilot

Loving the content as always Antonio. But something odd i noticed, at 37mins 40 seconds your pocket square looks to be photoshopped. It has a thick dark black border and doesnt look real. I know its such a small detail but i have watched this section of the video over and over to try and work it out. Could anyone clarify? Haha, thanks in advance.

I watch this while I buy a suit

I’ve been seeing a lot of suits with patch pockets lately. I didn’t even know that was a thing. I understand it’s a bit more casual, but is it still ok 9-5?

Does anyone buy their suits or blazers from Hackett London? I’ve made a few purchases on really nice blazers there in London.

Do you guys think it's important to have light and dark colored suits (I have black, charcoal grey, nay blue.....but no light colored suit)?

I want a suit that'll make The Nature Boy yell "Woooo!"

Bespoke isn't too much money in China. When I lived there I got bespoke suits made for $80. I was able to pick out every fabric, lining, cut, fit, but it took a little while. That being said, if you want bespoke suits, you can get them cheaper by flying to China and getting them. Even in Thailand, which is much easier to do because they cater to tourists and speak English, I got made to measure suits for just over $200 that took just under a week. Too bad none of them fit me anymore. Ah ageing.

How to learn bow Tie

Whenever I see these type of videos, guys with a belly are addressed more than those with a well developed chest, shoulders, upper back, an athletic butt and thighs and a tapered waist. If you are seeing the results you desire from your fight and conditioning training, you are going to be a bit of a challenge for a tailor with an off the rack suit.

Real Man Real Style, the Motion Picture.

Is wool an appropriate choice for someone in a hot country?

Off the rack is out of the question for me. I have super long back and short legs. All jackets are way too short for me.

Buying clothes online sucks... for a whole range of reasons. One of them being you cannot try it out. .

Is this an older video re-edited?

True blue? You mean, Royal Blue? 😅😂

Wow this explanation is too good but this video is just too long

lets go no AI thumbnail this time!!!! yay

If I’m olive-skinned is charcoal grey gonna make me whiter? 😂

This man is the best for looking good, but ngl he was dressed like the Riddler this episode.

too late, why cant you post this a 5 days ago :(

I had to check the release date on this when you are saying Obama got grief for his tan suit "recently," and then you talk about the Russian President and Putin. For a moment, I thought it was 2014 again 😂

Default, not de facto. Just saying...

Antonio, you’re a very arrogant individual !

Don't go with a vest, unless you want to look like a butler or bartender.

C'mon, fam. Ease up on the long-ass vids.

Suits are really overrated and it's time for them to go. At least they slowly got mostly phased out of the business world and for good reason
