I want to be a tailor 😅 never happen though. I absolutely love both of you, your expertise is clear and concise and not to mention enjoyable.
I prefer the English look, but then I am English
I would love to watch a longer format indepth conversation on style between these two fine gentlemen.
Yes. That could be very interesting.
I appreciate that Chris Modoo mentioned towards the end how Italian tailoring used to be quite different. After all the 60s Mod suits & their descendents in the 80s Mod Revival are all based on 60s Italian (Roman?) tailoring. I've seen/heard of other Italian cuts from the time where it was quite fitted, wider lapels, but with a ventless back. You can see examples of Italian tailoring from the 50s-60s in La Dolce Vita (1960). I suspect we might see a bit of a swing away from the very unstructured, cardigan-like jackets back towards more aggressively fitted jackets as the unstructured look reaches the over-saturation point, as happened with skinny fit some years ago
Even with relatively low price suits off the rack, I prefer the English suits of Charles Tyrwhitt over a Brooks Bothers suit.
I love the ‘Scotland forever’ pocket square. M.
That light jacket is really growing on me. The tie? Very similar to the Royal Navy tie.
Good video.
From what I have seen, Italian ready to wear brands, like Brioni and Kiton, seem to dominate the the ready to wear market, at least at the top end of it.
However, British Savile Row tailors visit most major cities along the East and West Coasts. Indeed, Huntsman established an office in New York. Compared to British firms, trunk shows by Italian tailoring firms seem much less prevalent . For example, there’s at least five Savile Row firms that visit Washington, DC regularly. I can’t name one Italian tailor that does.
Brilliant. I’d love to have a better budget for clothes. Style is one of my hobbies. M.
Excellent segment. Generates thought on one’s preferred style. Sadly, I don’t see much “tailoring”’ in evidence in Florida where I live. While in NY, the plethora of true men’s stores and well-made garments were evident. Now, I see homogenous utilitarian suits with synthetic fabrics leading in many brands. Ugh. I do enjoy a sharp British look with ticket pocket jacket or bold striped shirt for a fully polished and serious fashion statement and can’t define what American tailoring really is. A mashup at low price points? I prefer much of what Italian suits are offering and perhaps that’s what Chris is suggesting. Keep these duo segments coming, please.
There's a book called Brooks Brothers Generations of Style Its All About the Clothing, that has a great overview of American tailoring. Or the updated version Brooks Brothers 200 years of American Style. Also Ivy Style Radical Conformists by Christian Chensvold. All books on American menswear and tailoring in the states.
@@Tie-clipThanks. Will investigate your reco.
@@gerardanthony9834 No worries, enjoy!
Enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
I’ll have a look at your website. M.
Really easy one wears a base ball cap the other doesn’t
We much prefer the older gentleman's commentary. He is more approachable and seems more knowledgeable. He's also a very natty dresser.
dude on right always defaults to his favorite word 'smart'. after a while, this doesn't mean anything. 'smart' has become trite.
