+Real Men Real Style Antonio, If I may request, While time is precious - would you perhaps take the time in taking conversions from the inches to centimeters when talking about them to your viewers? The metric system is more widely used and I feel it would become more comprehensive to those others out there who aren't used to the inches measurement. 1 inch equates to 2.54 centimeters, While it's an easy concept to convert as is miles to kilometers, not many are used to the exact conversions. It would help a ton!

NZ -- I totally agree with you, which is why I would often search for and buy $2000+ pre-owned designer suits (e.g., Canali, Armani, Zegna) in pristine condition on ebay for around $200-300. It takes some patience, but it's worth it. Sure, I would usually need some minor tailoring for an additional cost, but overall it was a great deal, and I would get tons of compliments when I wore those suits, often being told that I looked like some movie star. Antonio did not specifically mention "the drape" of a high-end suit, which is what really makes it stand out. Corollary -- I would never buy a suit from an ebay vendor who did not take returns, because as good as the item might look in the online ad, it might not be as good in person, or feel as good, or have the same color, etc., so you always need the option to return it. Ebay vendors who say, "Seller does not take returns" never got my business.

Every man should be able to afford a $2000 suit. If they cannot then that means they are not working to anywhere near their full potential. The average salary is $50,000 and it is not hard to actually earn 25% to 50% higher than this.
@TomRNZ

bighands69 What an absurd statement. The average salary (US, I'm assuming) is irrelevant. The average salary is measured across ALL jobs, which means that to say that EVERY man should be able to afford a $2,000 suit is demonstrably untrue. A person's salary depends on how much their job pays, not on what the National average is. It also depends on location. Not only does location influence how much a person is paid, but because cost of living varies from location to location, it also has an impact on how much money a person has left after expenses. The National average that's measured across all jobs means nothing to me. I don't make $50,000 a year (which incidentally isn't the National average in my country anyway), so it means nothing to me what the average is, and my city is an expensive city in which to live. I have a multitude of expenses that must take priority before I could even entertain the thought of spending a couple of grand on an item of clothing. So no. I personally can't afford a $2,000 suit, and neither can EVERY man.

A suit tailored and cut to your measurements and then fitted twice is like an armor upgrade in the boardroom. On an average, I spent $250 for a suit with 2 pairs of pants and 3 shirts, all custom tailored, with my name embroidered in the suit coat and my initials on the sleeves of my shirts. It is worth the trip!

Jared Fontaine would I pay 3k for a suit? Not likely, no. Under the perfect circumstances, and if I made the money to do it, maybe. I did, however, pay roughly $1,000 for my suit, and you can tell the difference in how it looks, how it fits and feels. Custom fit clothing isn't cheap, but if you can afford it it's worth it. Besides, why would you watch a video comparing a $200 suit to a $2,000 suit if you're going into it with preconceived notions that a 2k suit is never worth it anyways? Sounds just like a waste of time to me.

Matt Johnston I always want to keep an open mind. Also technology has changed so maybe the $3k would wick away sweat and keep you dryer or actually do something. I am not against spending a lot of money but you have to justify it rationally and this video doesn't. Am I going to get a good job if I have a $3K suit? Just like the majority of luxury goods they are just puffery. No difference between a luxury car and a cheap one. Even if there differences are they really worth 100 times the price? I don't think so...

And the woman take notice. the others depending on the material are not that much different. But if buying something is going to hit your pockets deep. Take it from someone that has a variety of suits it wouldn't be worth the price. I'd rather had several $200 suits then 1 $2k suit.

The luxurious feel of British-woven 100% new wool cannot be overstated, and the jacket looked and felt fantastic when it arrived. (I went with a Gun Club Check.)

Unfortunately I''m too short to get a suit from Suitsupply even made to measure, but their coats and shirts are perfect for me. For suits, I go to Cad and the Dandy on Savile Row in London. I paid about £1500 but when you take into consideration it's a fully bespoke suit made on Savile Row, I think it's an amazing price. Not to mention it only cost that much because of my choice of fabric. Their fully hand made range starts from £1000 I believe, and I would highly recommend them.

Not well. I'm not saying that SuitSupply is bad, i actually like them a lot. Understand that Savile Row has been doing the suiting game for A LONG TIME. To become a tailor there you have to go through decades of training. SuitSupply may be a better construction than your average suit, but it's still geared to the masses. Savile Row is Bespoke, with multiple fitting to get it right. It fits you and only you. I work for a luxury suiting company, not a designer company that slaps a label on there to hike up the price, but an Italian company with a well established reputation. Being in the business, i have met people that have been willing to let me see some of the items they have had made on Savile, and it's a league of it's own. Meticulous attention to detail.

It fitted well, so I bought it and got married in it. After all the festivities we took a plane from Boston to West Palm Beach. Waiting for the bags at the carrousel, this well dressed guy say hi, and complimented my suit. Good taste he said. I have a Pierre Cardine suit just like that one.

Nice informative video Antonio. I myself have been interested in classic menswear quite a lot for last two/three years. The difference and main factor for me is always the material/fabric out of which item is made. Learning about materials/fabrics really helped me to focus on quality items (for not necessarily much higher price). I don't know if you have made a video about it but video focusing on a way how individual can identify/distinguish the materials/fabrics (and their respective varieties) in person while visiting the store would be great. The tags are not telling the whole story unfortunately (i. e. long vs short cashmere fibers) or information on them might even be false.

Talent, skill, productivity, and efficiency are critical to success. But image and projection often times pay even greater dividends in your career. I would wager that the expense of several top end suits will be returned to you ten fold by the time you retire from your chosen field. The best investment you can make is in yourself.

Some people don't understand value. 1) money is not a real entity. It is only a representation of value. There is no factual "right price" for anything. 2) value does exist beyond functionality. Life isn't just about getting from point A to point B. People find value beyond the basic necessities.

When I used to wear suits on a daily basis, I always bought decent suits. Not the very best, but nevertheless excellent quality. Especially since I had a very non-regular body and cheaper suits never seemed to fit. But nowadays, I wear a suit once every two years. I buy the cheapest one I can find. But as is often the case, you get what you pay for.

first off a 5'9" that weighs 150lbs will not wear the same suit as a 5'9" that weighs 250lbs. the 150 pounder will wear a 38R while the 250pounder will wear a 52R and the cut will make a difference. an american cut has natural shoulders and relaxed fit, european cut will have military shoulders and boxy athletic, british cut will be in-between. the sizes also differs as quoted from above, a size 38R can be just regular meaning it has a 6" difference from the chest size to the waist size meaning the waist from the 38R will be 32", there's also an athletic fit which will mean an 8" difference or more depending on the maker, and then there's a portly, meaning the chest and waist difference will be 2" or even 0" difference chest to waist. the regular signifies the height, so an R or regular suit can be worn by mostly 5'9" to 6', a long(L) will be for 6'1" to 6'3", XL from 6'4" above, then theres the short(S) for 5'8" or less, now these are just general guidelines, rule of thumb is that the coat should cover your seat part properly. all ready made suits have to be altered for individual fit, but one should start with the proper size first. now if you are oddly shaped or need something bespoked, then you will require a custom made suit or a made to measure suit. hong kong tailors roam the united states and normally have trunk shows in hotels and their custom suits are not expensive and will normally take 1 week to deliver. or go to China were you can buy italian suits with high quality italian wools from the best fabric houses of italy(ie Lora Piana etc) for less than $200 for the most part probably even a $100.

Time is also a factor when buying a suit. My most recent suit I had to get for an event where all of the men were asked to wear color of suit that I did not have. I put off buying it until a week before I needed it. With the taylor it ended up costing close to $1000 but it fit and felt worse than $200 suits I have that were just off the rack. What I should have done is follow the advice in the video and have a taylor make a suit from scratch by picking out everything (fabric, liner, buttons, etc) to my liking. This would probably take at least 3-4 weeks of time. Go custom if it will be over 1 grand.

I just watched this video and I I'd like make fun corrections on the video as there are quite a few misleading information. 1. Higher priced suits different greatly and the qualities differ greatly as well. 2. SUPER is an international governed by the IWTO- the international wool textile organization and as you mentioned about the length of the fiber it has a lot to do with it. 3. The are many MANY luxury brands that use fusing techniques to create suits. 4. FIT has nothing to do with the price point of any suit because they are all constructed with different bodies so someone could easily fit into lower end garment and have the hardest time finding it in higher end and vice versa. 4. There are also many other reasons why luxury sartorial pieces cost a lot but I'm afraid fit and the quality of the garment is just a small portion of it.

It's not so cut and dry as you say. I like what you do here Antonio. When it comes to brands versus non-brands, which are usually private label brands, you really need to understand what is occurring at the wholesale and retail level of these luxury companies. Without writing a very long piece here, take for instance Ermenegildo Zegna and Z. Zegna and Zegna Napoli. All made by Zegna as a company, but there are major differences. You showed in a still photo Corneliani, which I have sold since 1975, many of these Italian brands can only be compared to each other. Apple to apples in a sense. Z. Zegna cannot be compared to Corneliani or Canali and Canali cannot be compared to Kiton or St. Andrews. Think of the $200 vs $2000 as wearing a Timex to Rolex. For some it's only about keeping time which both will do well. For others it's about prestige, workmanship etc. Ill have to make a video to explain this concept better. Be well.

Honestly, if you need a suit for few occasions, an off the rack $100-200 suit and an extra $80 for alterations will do just fine and you'll look fine in the picture. Most of the guys can't tell, don't know and don't care what material the suit is made of. If you use a suit everyday, then it makes sense to invest and pay more on something of better quality.

What you say about the fit really sums up the whole point in my opinion, it's the most important aspect of all. I'm a smaller guy and I really love my handmade suits, but believe me or not I have a couple of standard Jackets which are right out of the womens department and a lot of them very cheap. They fit perfectly because of my small frame and I have noticed more people asking about my "tailor" while wearing those perfectly fitting jackets. At the end it's easy, look at Ryan Gosling, Tom Ford, Tom Hiddleston - buy what makes you look like them, guys who have made a name for themselves.

I have recently found a great fabric company Gladson, that makes woolen fabrics that I would put up against Hickey-Freeman. I have all my suits be-spoke so I do save quite a bit. The feel of the wool is tremendous particularly the winter weights. It lacks just a hairs difference from Holland and Sherry, which I have, but I am happy with the Gladson fabrics and the Holland and Sherry. They both have their fabric swatches on line.

I recently purchased two suits made by Kroon (Bishop) for less than $200 each from bluefly.com which fit me well (6'0", 235lbs) before I took them to my tailor for fine tuning. They feel a lighter than my other suits, but they also feel "better" than the two super cheap suits I got from Amazon and the Michael Kors, Keneth Cole, and Ralph Lauren suits I own. (I still like my Tommy Hilfiger suits the best.) I think Kroon is relatively new to the market and are offering suits priced below their value.

Iconic fashion houses like Dior & Yves St Laurent, use fabrics that are a 100% virgin wool/mohair/silk blends.. truely, it just feels & looks so incredible.. you might be able to find a really good custom tailor, that can get his hands on the same type of fabrics, but they are pretty rare..

I think a more important question to ask is at what point the difference starts to become hard to spot. When shopping for stuff in general there is almost always a "sweet spot" at which point you will get a noticeable upgrade from the cheap competitors without spending money on an increase in quality you'll barely even notice. For instance I think most people will notice a difference if they go out and buy two pairs of headphones at 20 dollars and 150 dollars respectively. The 150 dollar ones will almost always feel much more comfortable, more robustly built, sound better in terms of frequency balance and "open-ness" and might come with better warranties and possibility of getting spare parts. Now, tell the avarage consumer to test a pair of headphones at 150 dollars and another pair at 500 dollars. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the avarage consumer either wouldn't spot the difference or would find it to be very subtle. The first upgrade makes sense, the second one seems a bit unnecessary. So let's say I want to be a well-informed customer who wants to pay enough to be fairly sure to get the quality but not so much that I spend over that point. Which price range should I be checking out? I'm curious.
