I'm 27 and I'm dressing more formal. I have a very unique style so it's been hard to find things that fit me and fit my style. I love your suits!! I've been trying to get more into formal wear to incorporate that into my outfits more. Love your channel thanks so much for the advice!

Im just starting to dress above chinos and polo shirts. I bought three vests and are wearing them with a shirt and tie. They look great and help elevate my outfit and make me look thinner.
Unfortunately, waistcoats are some of the most underrated attires in a man's wardrobe. They enhance both casual & formal appearances effortlessly with their wide variety of fabrics & styles. I appreciate them specifically as a doctor for their functionality where it allows unrestricted arm movement(unlike a suit), which allows for performing a physical examination on a patient & for dressing a wound without any hindrance.

If you look at pictures from that time, men with slim legs would wear those trousers but men with thicker legs would opt for something wider. Nowadays, you aren't left with a lot of options.
I love the look of a waist coat with casual attires. I have a rather long torso which makes it impossible to find one that doesn’t look like I’m wearing kid clothes.

You have style and class. I’m 33 and looking forward to a bespoke suit that’s fits properly as intended to hide imperfections and accentuate the figure vs modern style
Love it, reminds me of the training I received about etiquette when I was 40 years younger.. As investment manager I had many occasions where this helped to select a good tailor... In practice this type of cloth worked really well in a colder climate. Since we moved to the tropics, its all too much and on board our boat I hardly ever even see long trousers. Would be good to have some advice in the leisure cloth, maritime area.. what other than a decent short and a Polo shirt?

Thank you for such a nice presentation on style and wear of waistcoats. I would like to know if you have a presentation on wearing bow ties formal and non formal wear.
Excellent information on the proper fit and types of waistcoats what are your thoughts on accessorizing the waistcoat with a pocket watch and chain versus wearing a wrist watch thanks for sharing this video!
Anton, 34 y.o. Russia. The waistcoat is my favorite item of clothing. Its elegant and practical. Personally, I strongly against waistcoats with collar. Collar on shirt, on waistcoat, on jacket - for me this is too much. Waistcoats with lapels are fine. But you need to be careful - lapels on waistoat and lapels on jacket can look cluttered. I adore waistcoats: singlebrested, no lapels, no collar, hiegh closure, four welt pockets, linen back, dark colour.
How do you feel about wearing a Cardigan as an alternative to a traditional waistcoat, to convert a 2 piece suit into something resembling a 3 piece suit? I admit that I don't own a complete 3 Piece Suit. Although in the fall/winter I'll often wear a fine knit Merino Wool Cardigan under my suit jacket, mostly just for some extra warmth... I feel it's at least a better option than the slightly tragic 'Siskel & Ebert' Crew/V-Neck sweater look.
Im conflicted. Im a black American 30 year old guy, 5'11, 34x34, reasonable fit who love the look of bespoke but live a urban life. Simply dressing business casual to a grocery store, like Target, is _overdressing_ Even very few occupations now adays dont requires or suit. I dont care what others people think however i dont want to feel like im overdressed or "cosplaying" if that make sense.
Those two little pleats are just fantastic and really create that effect you're talking about. Are they some kind of informal feature? I've never seen them in movies or photographs from 30s
@@AskOkeyInc tks Proff!, i'm having a DB waistcoat with peak lapel to pair with my notch lapel suit jacket so i just want to check if the suit jacket lapel must be peak also.
What are your Views on Gurkha Shorts and other types of Shorts? Also will Gurkha Shorts and Short Sleeve Shirts get Featured in this Channel? I know it's Autumn out there but still Hot here in the Tropics.
Thank you Prof for this very helpful video. I just have a little query that is that possible to have a big gap ( from the shirt collar down right to first button of the waistcoat, I don't really know how to call that haha) for the waistcoat, especially for a double breasted waistcoat?
I am planning to get a waistcoat made for me so can you tell me what the diff is between a waistcoat with lapel and without lapel (what occasion is to wear the non lapel one at)
What are your thoughts on wearing a double breasted waistcoat with a double breasted jacket in a 3 piece suit? I'd like the option of going with or without the jacket, and I prefer the double in general.
I was surprised when you said not to wear a single breasted waistcoat with morning dress... I thought it was proper and traditional. I have seen many old time pictures of it, or even Prince Philip.
Waistcoats fell out of favour due to the depression the depression caused people to just wear what they had and even in the 40s when things started to go up and running alot of people were still fearful of being that poor twice so even if they had decent paying jobs (lower/middle class) a lot of people were still quite frugal in the 50s people wore blazer and trousers in England not full suits you would ask them way back then and they said it’s because blazer and trousers made more outfits three piece suits were for the elite and wealthy but when the windrush generation came and saw how black people dressed the three piece suit started to come back in. But the fall out favour was people wanted to stretch there wardrobe and most people simply couldn’t afford a wardrobe full of full suits even on RUclips they always get it wrong by saying the 1900s was the peak of formality it wasn’t how can you dress formal if you have no money? You wear what you can tuxedos were rarely even seen a lot of people didn’t have them or if they had them didn’t wear it often interestingly it was the 1920s onwards that became more formal
@@AskOkeyInc Yes and no but even when there was no rationing and the depression and war had long ended a lot of people was just fearful of being that poor again so even if they had money they still always saved the depression ruined a lot of families and homes even long after it was finished.
@@AskOkeyInc yeah I feel like what you can learn from is don’t believe everything you see and if it says it was the peak of formality you have to question for who for high society yes definitely but for the rest they wore what they could the sack suit for reference was seen as very casual and a middle/upper class man would only wear it to really casual outgoings but a lot of poor people it would’ve been there Sunday best (best suit) some people back in those times couldn’t even afford a shirt collar because shirts were detachable collars to save on laundry it makes sense because the neck is the only part that gets dirty even if the shirts clean so instead of washing the whole shirt you just change the collar
Eric pls see our FULL VIDEO on that subject below this one on our RUclips channel The title says “Difference between European, English & American Cuts” PROFF
Do a little more research on your morning dress. It was quite acceptable to wear a single breasted waitcoat with morning dress. The only exception was if you were part of a envesture or other highly formal event where the only attire was the black morning coat, than yes a double breasted was expected.
I’m not sure what those are Adam. But I’m a big fan of the “Point Collar” To my eye, they look much more tactile and elegant than the Spread Collar PROFF
@rogerr.8507 I like a slight point in mine, not too pointed, but just enough to notice. Butt yes, I hate spreaded collars... eww. Lol, plus I am also not a vampire.
Sorry to tell you but double breasted waistcoats don’t necessarily only come with lapels. I have one that does not. Do a bit more research before stating something as fact.
Just for you guys to know why we in Britain have our last waistcoat bottom button undone: Leaving the bottom button of your waistcoat undone is the ultimate style myth. The tradition likely dates back to the early 1900's, when King Edward VII first started the trend. Apparently, he grew to be so rotund and fat that he was unable to fasten the bottom button on his waistcoat😂😂😂.
