I don't even know how to tailor and I think this is a good niche for content production. Keep this up. Too many poorly dressed men out there who can't afford tailored solutions.

You absolutely made that suit your own and it looks great on you. Your tips are so inspiring and you are right about the cost-saving factor of re-purposing a vintage article of clothing that is made from quality material. Love your channel.

Amazing! Would love to find someone like you who knows how to alternate my clothes. Greetings from Montreal

[ericmiller]

That looks great! Would love to see more of these.

I have noticed a very trivial thing. We Germans in the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s had a very different mentality in classical menswear. Due to our societal mentality, our suits were often more tempered, militaristic, aesthetic and strict and more formal. A normal worker and even in his casual Free time often wore more darker colors and darker colored shoes. For hiking for example we often used heavy wool fabric which was inspiring to our former military. The suits were stronger tailored to a wasp form. Compared to Amis, we Germans didn’t wear that much casual elements, and when we did, then it was military tunics for example. Very interesting to see the difference between two cultures and the different mentality. I myself love my German classical fashion tradition and also like to wear jackboots/Schaftstiefel when going for a walk with heavy wool fabric. When using hat cover for hiking I buy some German replica hat, and you can get good original marching boots in the DDR-NVA category or alternatively buy Wehrmacht Replica boots, since the goods are widely produced in the Wehrmacht segment, yeah but if you don’t like to wear ww2 boots for obvious reason, you can also buy from Kaiserreich era or Weimarer Republik, tho I prefer boots from the 40s since they were shorter for saving material and you don’t need very high Marschstiefel anyways. We Germans also like to wear for casual hiking for example 4 pocket tunic with heavy wool fabric, or black oxfords. Yeah, we Germans also mostly have worn like I mentioned more formal things even for causal events.
Good bye, god bless

I have been watching and subscribed to men's clothing videos (One Dapper Street, The Modest Man, The Kavalier, Gentleman's Gazette, Sartorial Talks, ect...) for years. How come I just came across you in my feed? You are as good as the best of them. As anyone who understands being well dressed knows, fit is king. I subscribed. Really well done.

Yes, please! I'm a vintage reseller - so re-imagining & re-purposing is most definitely my thing. If you have the gift of reinvention, it's a lovely thing to inspire and show others how to see something new for themselves in something that was once new for someone else : )

Loved the redo. Restyling the leg is such a simple way to change the look on slacks. 😊 The added bonus for me is that when I forward your videos, I get more bonding time with my sons. 😉

Thanks for helping me understand how you changed the rise on those trousers, how you drew out all the chalk lines, how you were considering using the seat adjustment to adjust the pleats, and how you reasoned out utilizing professional dry cleaning pressing to suffice for the shoulders. And yes to more re-purpose videos from you as well. Thanks again.

Fascinating video! In a sea of classic style/suit channels that end up starting at the $2000-mark and go up, this is a great angle.

[newlasound]

Looks incredible. love that the bell bottom has transitioned into even more modern appeal today!

[ericalarochelle]

Always great to see a video from you! I would vote for more repurposing videos!

[johngriffith]

Brilliant, seeing what can be done with second hand is excellent

[ghis]

Great video! I would love to see a whole "start to finish" of a thrift item that you resize like this. This is what i'm looking for so i can do some for myself.

[fpzuxjj]

Yes dude THIS is nice content! Doesn't matter if you repeat some stuff covered before, like "how to XYZ" etc. It's just a nice relaxing thing to watch.

[greatjob_barbara]

Glad you kept that flare in the leg, i love the insight on these adjustments

[hikazayanikushi]

Yes please! Make more of these types of video. The end product looks so great on you! It does look like a million dollar suit

[Subeffulgent]

Yeah definitely do more of these type of videos. I've come across a few awesome double-breasted coats that didn't quite fit right which was unfortunate because I'd really like one. I got one from the thrift store one time and I thought fit great until I got home and I realized the shoulders made me look like some kind of a comic book superhero hahaha needless to say by the time I was done attempting to fix them it ended up in the trash can

[seray]

I'm learning so much about how men's clothes should fit and how to figure out what the cause is of the problem, then how to fix it. Thank you for your expertise!

[leogalvan]

Another great video. Please do more of these.
