We don't speak a word of Italian but the music as well as the images spoke to us, very well made Mr. Porter team.

Es ist wohl eine Traumvorstellung einen guten Laden zu finden, bei dem man Anzüge kauft und man nicht nachschneidern muss sondern egal welchen Anzug man anprobiert, die Größe immer zuverlässig. Wenn ich Größe M nehme soll mir auch jeder Anzug in M passen... Zum Glück ist es bei Distorted People so. Egal welchen Hoodie, welches Shirt alles passt wie angegossen in Größe m. Das spart mir kofschmerzen mich zu entscheiden welche Größe ich nehme und den Weg zur Post, weil ich die Ware zurückschicken muss :)

I really like the style of Mr Porter's videos. Elegant, calm, even soothing with perfect selection of the music. I know this is a channel about men's fashion but I appreciate a lot the filming and editing of these "behind-the-brand" videos.

Mr. Porter is one of the channel that inspire me. Thank you very much.

I absolutely love Italian suits, something about how they craft their suits can't compare to others. Proud owner of a double breasted navy suit.

this the reason why I'm burning my eyes in the textbook to have things like this. ...

[markwilliam]

I got goosebumps. The music compliments the air of tradition and finer things so well. As someone who has worn ill-fitting and unfashionable thrift store clothes his whole life, this video gave me a warm sense of comfort and relief.

THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS: Parade's End Waltz, by Dirk Brosse, Used in the Television Series, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

I love Italian style, suits, separates and Mr.Porter's videos covering these topics. Please visit more magnificent tailors such as the Caracenis in future videos! Hopefully one day I will have a beautiful, bespoke suit made by such talented craftsmen...

lunga vita alle tradizioni italiane

[deborahpondermance]

How beautiful to see this care and craftsmanship being carried on through the generations. In America, tailoring is nearly a lost art, and seeing a gentleman in a well-fitted suit is a rare treat indeed. Thank you for this lovely video.

Mr Porter should make more informative videos like this and make it longer! Your current content is simply not enough.

I love Italian tailoring. These gentlemen didn't share a lot of their skillset. However, they did share some very fine tidbits. More shows like this please.
