The Jeff Banks Savile Row Bespoke Suit

[omarelahi]

I prefer the Tailors suit more actually. And his watch. The old timer got some serious style

[williambeck]

Absolutely, I don't have any Saville row suits, but do have a couple of bespoke buoys and several coats, once you have worn something made by really fit you, you will be amazed, and the button through cuffs really add a lot to the coats !

If only we could be in a time where people compare suits, not Adidas tracksuits

[germanpenn]

The tailoring is perfect, but the pattern you chose for the fabric is too daring for my taste. But if you like it, you'll make it look great on you, so kudos anyway.

[peteroconnor]

I think your suit looks perfect and Mr Banks is a very gifted tailor with warm manners.

[angelakanetv]

A very nice suit. I've always been a fan of Jeff Banks.

[Ralphieeeee]

The language Jeff Banks has. His eloquence and knowledge of words. Wow

[MrJohnmiller]

[marcolouis]

Fantastic insight for any aspiring dapper lad. Your instagram is a huge inspiration too. Love

[josephpace]

Truely impressed with the shoulder width of the waistcoat. Totally agree that it should not go out the the edge of the shoulder.

[gastondeveaux]

Jeff Banks seems like a really fun character. I think it would be fun to have a few pints with him

[theshoebridgess]

Loved this, even as a female i appreciate men's tailoring and this was an amazing job!

The finish of the jacket is a bit terrible/ off/ not look appealing to the eye. I respect your taste and choice but I wonder if you find it really that comfortable, especially when you sit down. It is a custom suit/ Bespoke so small details really do matters. 2:43 pause and look at the details of your suit compare to Jeff Bank's.
Detail analysis and rationale as follow:

1. Good job on length of Jacket (0:16 play it at slow speed, it does fall more or less on the middle of the length of your thumb, so you get the right proportion considering your height). Walter Sickinger rationale is wrong.

However do not get a waistcoat if you're planning on getting double breasted suit, because it takes much space of your waist and it does not look that visible 2:50/ 2:57 and it looks to bulky for you 0:16/ 0:17 like a stiff robot. If you feel cold, get an overcoat (camel colour is nice).

A three piece suit will always contain a single-breasted jacket with trouser and a waistcoat. In this ways, the waistcoat will be clear, visible and appealing to the eye more because a single-breasted jacket leave/ exposed more space of your waist/ body 0:03 and I like your tie bar.

2. Jacket fit is a bit tight, look at the side vent, it does not look good when it drapes down. Look at Jeff Bank's 0:14, side vent drapes nicely. This is because probably of the waistcoat. I am assuming that the waistcoat (fitting and measurement) was there as an information for the audience.

I suggest take it out and wear the waistcoat with other suit/ blazer (ex. blue single-breasted suit/ blazer/ or the one you wear 0:01 :D ) with white chino or plain light grey (flannel) trouser looks nice.

3. The peak lapel should be broader because you have a broader shoulder (get a right proportion). And so the button stance is too high.

4. 0:04, you can spot as you walks that the trouser length is a couple inch too long and doesnt move nicely as you walk. it should be a couple inch shortened (usually a break). 2:42 the way the trouser drapes does not look good compare to Jeff Bank's, it should be tapered a bit perhaps. The point of having a break is so you can show your socks (small/ large detail matters) like Jeff Bank's did 0:16/ 2:40.

I have been through the situation of wearing a poor fitted suit myself, and was shame getting laughed by my clients/ colleagues :( But my personal tailors at Hackett and SuitSupply [the store is there across Gieves & Hawkes and left side of Pickett 0:21 :D ] taught me well :)

I am not sure if this is your taste/ choice or that Jeff Banks himself do not advised you. Considering the finish of the jacket, it requires a bit more adjustment. This is a good video nonetheless consider the upside and downside.

Real button holes are now a standard feature of inexpensive made to measure actually. Those times are over.

While the contrast stitching is already dubious from a truly bespoke point of view, to recommend to leave one button unbuttoned ‘in order to attract attention’ is absolutely not done. A true gentleman would never draw attention to his suit in this manner - the suit should speak for itself. (Not to mention that nowadays one can find plenty off the rack suits where the cuff buttons can be undone).

Jeff Banks is the Living Legend. Mater of All he surveys.

[StyleandTaste]

Bought a couple of Jeff Banks shirts to the other day and I notice they no longer have the split yoke. Is he doing away with this?

[martinjenkins]

I love it and want one! However I am going to Hong Kong in a couple of months and will get a suit made there, maybe more.I can't see any final figure for the cost of the suit.

This suit is defiantly too loud for me...but you? Rock it like its gold!
