The Fit of our AskOkey Bespoke Trouser

Finally, trousers with proportion, balance, silhouette and fit: not easy to achieve - so difficult, in fact, that the Proff had to design his own because they simply are not available elsewhere, bespoke or ready made. For something to appeal to the eye, it has to follow the golden rule of thirds (proportion): the top of the AskOkey trousers, at your natural waist, sits two-thirds of your height above your feet (the golden rule). For balance, the trouser waistline is where your jacket buttons up. The silhouette is the line from your jacket, down the outside of the trousers, all the way to the ground, possible only with AskOkey's fuller cut in the thighs and knees. Fit is ensured by the waist, slightly loose,, and the way that the trousers drape from your shoulders, via the braces, moving with you. Available in pleated and flat front versions, in a variety of colors and fabrics, AskOkey's classic trousers make you look better than any other trousers can.

Pleated pants are my next must have. You look good brother. Thanks for your videos.

This video helped me understand the fit of trousers in ways i didn’t even think about before. Thank you very much.

Prof. I religiously watch your videos, and what attracts me to your videos is your attention to detail, your wordsmith about the subject, and above all your dedication to excellence. Please, keep it up.
Prof. I would like you to address the issue of age or generational gap with regard to elegant dressing. What was elegant in the 50s is archaic today. And if you became of age in the 50s, today you look at what is called elegant as something weird. Please, teach us or throw some light on how one can bridge the gap of generations, and still look or dress elegant.
Thanks

Thanks for the lessons, Prof. I see no-one utilizing this age only even Ancient knowledge of balance applied to clothing. I have purchased a wonderful pair of suspenders in anticipation of stepping up to the Ask Okey Trousers. I can hardly wait to rock this style in Atlanta, Ga.

This is a fly look. Ready to go salsa dancing in Miami dressed for success 🕺

Hello Sir, thank you for this useful video, your style is great and well explained. It seems that you prefer to wear forward pleats rather than reverse. It would be really interesting to have your functional explanation about simple vs double ; forward vs reverse pleats. Best regards.

Thank you for these insights - I wish I had found this qulity of advice years ago!

[dasamir]

great video prof! quick FYI the vitruvian man was Leonardo’s creation — not Michelangelo!

[RexofCaledonia]

Great video Sir. Massive improvement from introducing the topics with graphic rather than reading from the iPad.

May I ask do you ship to Germany these fancy trousers

[troyfigueira]

Just recently that question was asked, and I can remember in the 70's, my grandfather was told me, " one of the most expensive cloths a man purchased is " surge 900, or 700." Is my grandfather correct?

[johannespuggaardpoulsen]

Unfortunately, I think you confuse rule of thirds with the golden ratio. They are close, but not the same.
The golden ratio is 0.618, while thirds are 0.666.
I think in most cases it would be better to use the golden ratio, because it looks more natural. And it looks like that is what you are using.

But as always, great video and fantastic advice

[adelnadheer]

ive been wearing suits wrong my whole life, this looks just right. how much space should there be in the crotch area for room to breath, 1 inch 2 inch?

[montserratwynne]

Hi I love your content. Where can I find the shirt that you're wearing in the start of the video? The 4 button with the collar.

[troyfigueira]

Could you please inform me, what is the most expensive clothe a man can purchase?

[azizquadri]

Thank you for this useful illustration Mr. Okey.

I have been experimenting with the hem opening circumference since the last 2 years.
Initially, like every young guy, I started with a rather slim 14 inch leg opening, and then I gradually increased it with time, and today I wear a 17 inch leg opening.

I still think that I can perhaps go a bit fuller.
For reference, I am 5'9" and I wear a size 7.5 UK shoe.
Is my leg opening proportional, or should I go fuller?
