I moved to a smaller community and couldn't find a tailor through Google. I ended up reaching out to a specifically bridal fitting service and they referred me to the local tailor . . . who had closed their brick and mortar shop a year ago and now operated out of a small space one day a week. Many of these people know each other and more and more skilled artisans are taking their trade private, off the books. Leasing a storefront for 1800 a month doesn't make sense, it's a different world now.

Short, helpful, and right to the point. Great video, more like this one, please.

I got a Bespoke suit from Michael Andrews in the city because I watched one of your videos and I can fully recommend the experience. Michael was such a great guy. He offered his recommendations to me without being pushy. It is pretty pricey as my suit was $2, 700 but I understand in the city the prices will be a little inflated.

Great video, Brian. Since moving to Atlanta, I've been looking and I found Guffey's in Tower Place, Buckhead. It's an old school, full service store offering a wide variety of suits, formalwear and casual clothing. The in house tailors are awesome. Definitely worth a look if you ever travel down here. All best, Bill

Looking for a good tailor is like looking for a barber. It takes time. Great video

Thanks for another quality video. I'm not sure if you have done this yet, but finding a quality dry cleaner would be a nice one. I remember taking a canvas suit with a nice lapel roll to the dry cleaner to have them press the lapels flat 😭

Was online searching for a tailor in my new town just yesterday. Thanks for the video, definitely helped!

Great video! Its almsot Derby season. Was wondering if you would make an updated video for derby fashion from Preakness to European derby's?

[stgrady]

Really appreciate the content! As I recall you’re in the DC, MD, VA area so taking your first tip do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

[Alex-kvkd]

Hello Brian, thank you very much for this helpful tips! This is my first time purchasing my leather shoes after few years and I would love to hear your opinion on which cap toe oxford shoe color should I opt for between Black or Dark brown? I am on a budget therefore I seek the ones with the most versatility. Thank you in advance Brian. Love ya

[gordonmiller]

Thanks! Great video. I recently took a suit to a tailor I found online. I get it back Thursday, we'll see how everything fits! 🤞

Wish you’d be a little less generic when it comes to ‘is the tailor any good’. Would be great to see examples of seams or other finishes, for example.
Is the trouser hem seam done nicely or all over the place? How invisible is the stitching on a plain hem?

Or does the tailor take measurements and incl the numbers on the receipt so you know if it’s done as agreed on at collection?

Things I had to learn the hard way by nearly ruining good pieces of clothing with poor tailors.

Where I live (Indonesia), you can’t trust online reviews bc most people aren’t that knowledgeable enough to really tell whether something is qood or bad quality. I’ve seen so many terrible & overpriced Tailors who got 5 stars reviews. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[charlescouncil]

You make the BEST quality videos about fashion. However, you need to be more consistent with the great content 👍🏾

[brentinjapan]

Love your videos. Thanks!! I have a video idea for you that it seems nobody has done: stretchy suit material.
I’m getting my first bespoke suit. I’m a musician so it occurred to me that a stretchy material may be good not only for stage but for general comfort. I looked on YouTube for advice on the topic and I can barely find anything. There are ads and seemingly fake reviews plus one explanation of various fabrics but no pros and cons flex material used for bespoke suits. Seems like a video opportunity for you. If possible can you give general quick advice here? Thanks!!

What do you think of a department store tailor assuming you stay with a brand that fits you well? Will that or should that be considered a decent standard? Or is it a case of you do not know what you are missing till you had it so spend more money?

[Aaronheirofisildur]

As always, great video.
Hey Brian, I do have more of a personal question, I am in the look for a bold suit (it’ll be bespoke) that is still Classic and Elegant. Any recomendations?
-I already have my basics covered, thats why Im making the jump-

[md.maidulalam]

What is the name of your hairstyle? I like it.
Is there is any haircut tutorial you can reccomend me?

[rahultambe]

I am unable to find the article about price range for the tailoring, can someone help??

[LB-krku]

Did I miss the part about how to tell if they’re any good? If not, can you please answer this question?
