The descriptions of quality "ingredients, " and illustrations of "serving suggestions, " offer the viewer tasteful "recipes" for sartorial success. Thank you; WELL DONE and thoroughly enjoyed!

I love Uniqlo however their sizing inconsistency is a pervasive problem. I wear anything from an XS to a M with their clothing and can never know what to expect. They charge both ways for shipping. I strongly suggest buying in-store only with them. One of the big advantages to in-store shopping (at least their flagship Soho location in NYC) is also free hemming of trousers. The place becomes a zoo on weekends though.

[momotheelder]

I agree with Lands End, a bit like a budget RL, not in a bad way. They incorporate a lot of vintage styling which is in good taste.

[BaptainGinyu]

Massimo Dutti, Marks and Spencer, Field Gear (100% cashmere sweaters in tall sizes) and zanella (for trousers) are my favorite underrated brands

[jakub.anderwald]

It's worth to mention uniqlo's stable approach to their regular collections. If you buy a sweater from them, you can easily come back in 5 years and get the same model, same color, for roughly the same price. They don't change collections every year, at least for the daily classics.

[Alex-pmvy]

Very surprised you guys overlooked Spier & Mackay, they're something of a underdog goldenboy in a lot of menswear circles. They're genuinely one of the best values out there especially if you want that soft shouldered classic American Ivy look.

[corensam]

6:43 to be clear, Aero's cordovan refers to the color not the leather. (It's not shell cordovan). That said, it is still FQHH, front quarter horsehide, so still phenomenal, top of the line leather

[airtonsilva]

As someone who lived in Rio his entire life and recently moved to Germany and need to buy various winter clothes, I was surprised with the quality of Uniqlo. It's not the cheapest store here, but the quality of the clothes are worth it.

[michaelmason]

One of your best videos. These underrated brands are a great place to start when considering moving in a classical direction. Thanks. Five stars.

[alexanderfo]

Bill's Khakis. As someone sharing the problem of large hips and thighs with Raphael, I can confirm they are an underrated choice well worth it.

And I feel definitely confirmed in my choices to see Uniqlo mentioned here.

Thank you very much for this video.

[ericheaton]

As of typing this, I’m wearing some Land’s End. I wore some L.L.Bean, a few days ago. My fit today, is even inspired by one in a Land’s End Catalog.

[Acemans]

Finally someone mentioned Bill's Khakis, I love them and I love that they're from my hometown.

[Jtjustintimberlake]

I really like this episode as I was unfamiliar with Murray's Toggery and Kit Blake. Thanks

[sciavash]

When it comes to tweed, Marks and Spencer and especially Brook Taverner are names to conjure with.

[Michael_R]

A very informative video from Kyle. Thank you very much. Have an LL Bean crew neck sweater and love it.

[clintony]

For suits Samuelsohn is incredible. Full canvas, use great fabrics from Loro Piana, Zegna, VBC, Colombo, and other reputable mills, have minimal handstitching work, but are also easily found on sale for less than $800 almost constantly.

[dougstump]

I'm so glad to see LL BEAN get some love. Nearly all of my Level 3 and Level 4 clothing is from LL Bean - they're v-neck sweaters are lightweight and wear well under a sportscoats, their oxford dress shirts are great, too. AND THEY LAST! and they offer TALL sizes.

[robvelazquez]

When they’re on sale, the Lands’ End Sail Rigger Oxford Cloth Button Downs are great for the price. They’ve become a cornerstone of my wardrobe. Love em.

[snuffa.luffagus]

I own John Varvatos boots, (suede) I love them.

[williamborland]

I have always loved the value of Lands’ End, but I think Bill’s Khakis has to be the best mention in the video. My father has multiple sets of khaki’s and shirts from BK, and they look and feel classy and high end. I especially like the popover oxford shirts they used to make.
