Gentleman's Gazette

Just bought a nice quality suit from a thrift store for $13!

[balaam_]

As I sit here in my Fruit of the Loom underwear with a torn waistband, my left sock replete with a hole wherein my pinky toe is exposed, and my thrift store t-shirt with a faded orange pattern swooping down the chest from where I wipe the Dorito powder from my fingers, I found this video a grim reminder not everything turned out how I thought it would in life.

I started selling suits at a Macy's. I've been learning so much from my co workers and I've been learning so much from this Channel and from RMRS!

Thanks for amazing videos like this. As a recent college grad trying to build my wardrobe with quality garments, I often search thrift store to save some cash needed elsewhere. Using the tips you mentioned here and in other videos helped me pick up a $2000 sports jacket for $15. I could have skipped right by it, but was able to identify some quality hallmarks you suggest to look for. Thank you Gentlemens Gazette.

I must say that the added visual helped tremendously, as some of us aren't familiar with the lingo.

Presentation and content of the gentleman is always perfect.I am glad people like this still exist in this day in age.

I bought a 1943 quality suit, I can tell it's wool, as I can feel the fabric! Thank you so much for making this video! I got it from salvation army for $23!

[ethanoreilly]

Thank you Gentleman's Gazette! Thanks to your videos I was able to find thifted a beautiful bespoke made blue vintage suit from Hong Kong. It fits really nice too

[stylishoversixty]

This video showcases all the hallmarks in what to look for in a high quality suit indeed very helpful information thanks!

12:38 "leave behind the Crap suit" 😂
Love your videos and humor!
Love the entire outfit!

[cowboyhank]

I love that suit! The color is so rich and the fit is nearly perfect

[MrBassplayer]

I love the art of a suit shirt and tie ! Either you do it correctly or not at all

[conradfield]

Fantastic video. Just watched a video of these two "influencers" shopping for bespoke suits and comparing expensive and inexpensive ones, and I learned absolutely nothing. This video I couldn't stop taking notes lol.

Handmade button holes, sleeve buttons that kiss, full silk lining the same color as the suit except the sleeves which are lined in striped silk. And on some very beautiful Italian suits I have had, lots of virtually invisible stitching on each side of the jacket between the pocket and the bottom of the jacket. (I guess it affects the way the jacket hangs.)

I got a Ralph Lauren 100% wool jacket from goodwill for like 8 bucks or something 😂 I would've easily paid 600 for it if I saw it on the rack anywhere else.

[kojiattwood]

That grey jacket is definitely a Caraceni, I recognize the lining :)

[andreasjohansson]

Hi Raphael!
I think you did a great job on creating this list and I will be searching for these quality haulmarks when I'm out thrifting for suits and jackets. By the way do you have some more examples on how I can improve my ability to tell the difference on hand sewn and machine sewn when it comes to the collar, lapels and buttonholes?

[momotheelder]

Love the lapels and patch pockets on your jacket, very old school

[Aplaceformermaids]

Making a suit right now and this was very helpful! :)

[matthewjackson]

A really nice suit will really make a difference and people do notice these things, especially if you're a salesman, manager or in some position where your overall personal image is important. Seems to me though that the trend is to eliminate the suit altogether and make casual duds the de rigueur . I've never been impressed with a CEO dressed down in blue jeans and sneakers. Whether you want to believe or not, people are visual animals and how you dress evokes a definite psychological response. People will make up their minds about you in the first 10 seconds after seeing you. I can tell you from personal experience that this is the case.
