I have never in my life heard anyone describe (and quite so eloquently) the purpose of a shirt. It's just something you took for granted and never considered a definition or purpose were necessary. Thanks again PROFF!
I remember years ago, I used to watch this channel. I knew this will be one of the best menswear channel but the audio and videography was frankly not good. I rediscovered the channel and I am so happy that everything have improved! Congratulations and your hardwork is greatly appreciated!
Proff is single-handedly bringing back true positive masculinity and class. Every young man needs Okey as his dad/grandad! Confident (without arrogance), educational (without condescension) and honest (without malice).
Why does this channel not have at least a million subscribers?! The level of information here is top-notch. Also, The quality of presentation is superb. Well-done, proff.
This so much better than many of the other so called fashion experts YT. I’m thinking of one that promotes shirts that are 100% polyester shirts and performance suits.
Hello Mr. Proff. Very good video, very interesting. Thank you. May you talk more about the different cloth, the weaving types, weights and the seasonal aspects. Great video, like every time. Greetings from Germany.
One problem with the armhole being cut high is that it may restrain your arm movement when your latisimus dorsi/teres major muscles are flexed. Usually when you try to reach forward. If you train and order bespoke shirts and suits, make sure that won't be a problem when they're taking your measures.
As a rock climber, I have to stress this a lot and the tailor/measurer doesn't believe me until I flex them forward and pop the top 3 pins they put into the mock jacket. It does in fact, get old and I wish they would just listen. The skinny fit crap the younger employees try to push is just atrocious to have to fight against every time.
This so really Original, creativity at an optimal height. We get ourselves dressed up in all sorts what we consider as fashionable albeit cluelessly. Prof. Thank ever so much and more grease to your elbow. Guys let's learn to dress well while knowing exactly what clothes we're wearing. Stay easy.
Thank you for another great segment. You mentioned Brooks Brothers. They used to source their shirts from Gitman Brothers. Gitman is still in business but I believe all (or nearly all) BB shirts are sourced overseas.
BB oxfords are still made in USA, but the price had increased significantly and and the last batch I purchased circa 2021 were of noticeably poor quality.
I agree with you with respect to pocket on a shirt. With the exception of a guayabera I don’t have pockets on any of my shirts. I also agree with the fabrics of shirts. A shirt should be either cotton or linen. A shirt should never be polyester.
I loved the video and all the insights about the shirts, the “levels” of quality and price and also the tips! I live in a tropical country and will invest more in linen shirts just to be more fresh while wearing jackets during the day. Thank you Proff
Sir excellent video on shirts with bespoke MTM fabric and fit as well appreciate your thorough detailed description of how to my the best choices for your own personal style as always thanks for the tremendous efforts you put into each video!

14:43: Usually, when people reference _"Pandora's Box,"_ they do so as a way to imply they don't wish to go into the subject any further. But my man Okie says it then dives in head-first, fearlessly saying _"so let's start from the top."_ There's nothing within the realm of style this man can't handle like a pro.
This is excellent content! Even your overview is more detailed than other resources that claim to be comprehensive and authoritative. I also appreciate the insight into the upper end of fine menswear, minus the pretence. More people should be paying attention. In any case, keep up the excellent work, Proff!
Linen is good shirt material but it gets crushed very easily and pure linen is bit expensive for our Market so I prefer 60 60 high twist cotton or Oxford and in winter I prefer tusser and satinfinish cottons that serve dual purpose party and formal Sir your take
@@AskOkeyInc The video titled "Explore the World of Shirts with the PROFF" is part two, correct? One more question, Sir, as I did not acoustically catch what you said at that portion of the video: If one is able to get into the collar with one finger, is this OK size-wise or is the collar too loose if one can get in with one finger? Thank you for your help.
Is your navy hopsack DB jacket here the 500gr Fearnought or the 400gr? I am considering whether to go for the full suit (since I can wear them as separates if I wish) or the lone odd jacket and, as you know, this choice determines the fabric on the site.
Hello Rulia. This Navy cloth (400 grams) is a “one-off” Hopsack by London Lounge Cloth Club. However we have something very similar in the FEARNOUGHT bunch (about 450-475 grams) My guys have been trying to reach you to set up a meeting as you requested on our website. Thank you PROFF
Amazing content, you obviously know what you are talking about. But the longer videos - because your reels/shorts are doing really good - are still a bit too slow-paced. What would help is background music or more dynamic visuals accompanying the spoken information, which means either more post-editing or just more sceneries and requisites for one video. Just my honest opinion. What you are putting effort into is great🕴️

So impressive. For 50 plus years, a shirt was just shirt. A under laying to cover my upper body from my jacket. Never looked at it with such depth.
Now you do Sir 😁

That is a smokin’ ass suit, man! Thank you for the info. It is indispensable if you’re into looking good.
I AGREE WITH THE VARIOATIONS OF COLOUR YOU TALKED ABOUT.

For your dress shirts, ABSOLUTELY 💯

Should one wear a tee-shirt or singlet under a shirt? I prefer the former. And should this be taken into account when being measured up?
How tight do you like your wrist cuffs? Should they slup over hand buttoned or should you have to unbutton to put on/take off?
Outstanding in every way!
THIS MAN "REALLY" KNOWS THE PROPER WAY A MAN SHOULD WEAR A SUIT ! ❤
How much shirt cuff should be showing from under a suit jacket?

Hello Proff ! You have recommended lighter shirts. I personally enjoy pure black ones, can they work ?
Proff love me sum you Sir,, I have learned so much from you,, I gleefully appreciate you, I feel as if I am your Padawan,, Star Wars reference!!💥💥💥
Hi Askokey, could you please list the Shirt brands Name.
Thank you for the advice.
You are most welcome.
What's funny is this man drips on the competition far greater than any of the kids these days.
@AskOkey do you have a preference in storing your pieces? Specific hangers? Dust covers/suit bags?
What should be the perfect length of the jacket?
Melwyn, it should cover your seat and crotch. The rest is up to you …
Sir, which is the video with the technical details about shirts that you refer to in this video? Great video by the way.
There’s a PART TWO Rajesh
