All great advice. Not a single point that wouldn't be relevant to everyone. Very good video! I definitely think nailing fit is by far the most important thing a man should try to do. Buying shirts that fit the shoulders and pants that fit the seat, and then getting them tailored will make them feel and look great. This usually leads to men realizing they prefer high quality items that last, so it's a win win.

You guys have been a game changer for me especially to my wardrobe and styling. Thanks fellas!

[vbadventministryproduction]

Very informative. Ty.
I had a lot of fails also in building my wardrobe. But with those fails, you'll learn what's the right one for you.

I also learned how to tailor my own clothes. Before i bring all of my clothes to the tailor, but it's causing me a lot of money. So i studied how to use a sewing machine.

Blake, where is your jacket from man? I really like that! Thanks for the videos!

[jimhughes]

I wish I could go in and try stuff on. I’m 6’6” 270. I have to stick to a few places I know have my size and order them online. Would love to just try everything on first.

1. 03:35 so im not alone 😁😂
2. 00:42 so hard to find xs size 😅
3. ripped jeans trend for 5 years
4. 05:57 i agree100% i buy skinny jeans because they fit at ankles and calves but usually too tights at thigh area but i "sacrafice" this. I have slim fit jeans that are much better in thigh area so i go to my tailor and tailored the leg . And they fit much more better than regular skinny jeans.
Thery good advices guys

That’s crazy how weight can be distributed, George. I’m also 6’1 210lbs but even when I was at 195lbs before putting on “holiday weight”, I couldn’t wear a medium.

[NCGermany]

I'm basically 6'1" and a medium is too small for me?? At least most medium t-shirts I've tried. They're too tight on my body and like just too short. Any advice? Where do you buy your shirts

[westfieldartworks]

Thank you for the concise specs on height and weight. That helps. I'm 5, 11'' 205 lbs, and I swear the Medium sizes work better and look sharper on me than most Larges. I appreciate that clarification. For awhile I was kind of thinking I was try to push my physique a it too much. But no. Thanks and Cheers.

My problem with sizing is that my ideal length for something like a tshirt is large, but then it is too wide. Usually when I get a medium, it's good in terms of width, but it's too short. What do I do?

[thomasward]

Great Video, Great Subject...My Problem is i am PENNSYLVANIA State Trooper 6'6 190 lbs and i Only Shop at EDDIE Bauer Outfitters ..Their Extra Large Tall Fits me Perfect but i Get pick on From Family and Friends Because i keep Wearing the same Style ..And passing up other Clothing Companies, it's just that i am Comfortable Buying there products..Should i Try again to Switch UP My Wardrobe Style because to Be Totally Honest E.B. Quality is Great and There not a lot Clothing Companies that Carry Tall .. But if Know Any Know please Me let Know ....Thank You and Please be Safe Out there..

Thanks for recommending Blake Mckay to me ! I plan on buying at least a couple pairs of their shoes once I save up a bit more. The Wingtip Oxfords I want though are out of my size so hopefully they'll restock or I'll probably go with another that is still available.

1:44 : « that inch makes a huge difference » 😱

[loki]

I just gave away a lot of Banana Republic clothes that I bought while I was powerlifting and rocking a boxier look. Had to shake my head at all of the L and even XL shirts I spent money on.

I stopped weightlifting and went from a 42" chest to 38" chest. Oh yeah, had to give away my suits too. Don't be a weight bro, bro.

[brownboii]

Wow didn't know you can taper the pants as well so they won't be so wide. Thank you!

[nukie]

I think when buying luxury items, it's important to understand what good quality items for things you are looking for actually are like. For example, you can get quality shoes for USD$200~500, decent leather with goodyear welts, and those will probably last you at least a decade. Shoes from luxury houses might have shoes with similar builds but sell for double that money. The extra money you are paying for includes the brand name of course, which is supposed to promise you certain quality. Of course, a lot of luxury brands seem to be abusing that promise by cutting costs on production, but that's a whole another discussion.
I think it's also important to understand that design is something you are paying for with big name brands. And because this is extremely subjective, it's up to you really to decide whether it's worth it or not. You can get a $5 white t-shirt that had no real thought behind the silhouette or you could get a $200 white t-shirt that was designed to make you look wider in the shoulders but slimmer around the waist for example. $500 with Gucci stamped on it?

Where do people go to get something tailored?

[EitherOrr]

My problem about sizing is my shoulder is wide but my arms are short. I rarely wear longsleeved polos or shirts

[EmileosE-CommerceQuest]

Can you go deeper into the tailor part?
