Sometimes you get what you pay for, but other times you’re paying for hype (aka super cheap). In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro , and Ollie says if you can spot quality you can find super deals and detect items that are overpriced.

Quality Indicators

1. Highly finished jean cuff seams
2. YKK zipper
3. Durable polo seams
4. Details — take time and money
5. Fabric — how does it feel (soft, stretchy, doesn’t lose its shape)
6. Shoe leather and how the upper is attached to the sole
7. Dress shirt shoulder fabric is lined-up perfectly
8. Suit functioning button holes, kissing buttons, and pick stitching
9. Tee shirt collar
10. Explore different brands — and don’t fall into the mindset that expense or logos equate to high quality

I m a textile engineering student specialized in intelligent and technical textiles and i am impressed by the effort you put on your content. The tips you mentioned are pure gold. Besides, those details about the polo-finishing process are true because even in the biggest clothing industries, the quality control office disgard those flaws to work faster knowing that the quality and the prejudice of their brand will bypass them. i've been subscribed to your channel even before Tiege Hanley memes and i love your work!

jeans - check seams at the cuffs
zippers - check YKK is written
shirts - check for loose seams

The YKK zipper thing you said has been a game changer for me! I'm seeing that most of my clothes/wearables that are not YKK show wear and tear easily or they are ill-fitting.

[abrahamlange]

YKK are definitely the highest quality amongst common zippers. However, ri-ri zippers are heavy duty and even higher quality and appear on many designer pieces

Feel the garment
Inspect the tailoring
Don’t Get Caught Up In Brand Names
Looking For The Details

[josephtower]

I worked for YKK as a salesman...it truly is the best and a sign of a quality garment. Also, Talon and Opti are quality zippers.

I'm glad you mentioned thrift shopping. There's definitely some great buys at a thrift store that is usually raising money for a charity and if you keep yourself in shape, there's plenty of great choices.

[ginanamistoso]

I got your point but please Calm down 😂😂😂

[kimayajc]

I went to check my jeans... Mine are all bad quality though its from zara h&m etc😂😂😂😂

[SeanLunny]

When you feel the fabric you can tell the quality most times

[FartsTasteDelicious]

Why do people complain that he is shouting? He is speaking emphatically for charm/salesmen effect. It’s literally his brand. Post something original. He is speaking fine.

The representation you give for us short-height folks is absolutely phenomenal. I'm 5'6 and always felt a little insecure/limited cause of my height. You, my man, are an inspiration and a fashion role-model.

[abdullahalshehri]

I agree paying extra dollars for good quality is fine but paying insane price for certain things like belts for example, I think that’s stupid

[davidkramer-fried]

Do a thrift store shopping challenge! Like if you want to see this as well.

[justincampbell]

Instead of complaining about how he shout....people adjust your volume

[wilsonuchiha]

That moment your wardrobe is of low quality 🌚🤣🤣😭😭

[wileyallen]

Look for multiple signs
Found YKK zippers but cut corners everywhere else
The odd thread hanging is no big deal, just snip it off unless the stitching isn't finished
Then politely return the item to the shelf and look elsewhere
Have found some great stuff at clearance stores - good quality and less $

[mrandmrscorona]

Awesome tips! I did always turn my clothes inside out looking for defects but now I look for features… thanks!

[jaxx-inspiregrowcreate]

You can definitely get quality for cheap! Hit up the thrift store!
