    I fell in love with Italian suits after watching the movie "Bicycle Thieves", a classic movie made during the Italian Neorealism film movement. It stars the average working man, with a casual suit that almost looks comically too large for him. But it's brimming with personality, not to mention the movie itself is regarded as one of the best movies ever made, although it is quite sad, made in a time of hopelessness of living post WWII. anyway I'll stop feeling about movies now

      @@lucianofrancesco4742 from my understanding, it is considered by many who study cinematic history or are film enthusiasts to be the quintessential film of Italian realism post WWII. At least, that's how I found it... you talk to anyone who cares to branch out of mainstream Hollywood or its cheap imitators worldwide, and Bicycle Thief is mentioned. Much like Band of Outsiders for French New Wave or any Kurosawa film from his various periods of styles.

    The colours black and dark blue used to be quite expensive which is why they were regarded as 'chique' (US: chic), a proof of being well-off. Your best suit or most expensive suit was black. Till this day, black, anthracite and navy blue are considered chique. In the old times, you could make something black, but to have a black that would be resistent to washing so it kept being black, that was quite another matter. Even today, that is difficult.

    I don't think it's fair to say that American suits are less refined as a negative comment. They're not supposed to look refined. They're supposed to look relaxed, casual, and almost sporty. The American style is almost a relaxed version of the British style. True, if you don't like Prep, they're probably not appealing, but I wouldn't say that they're unsophisticated. The hallmark of American preppy style is that your clothes are supposed to look appropriate at the office, out lunch, at the country club, etc. Classic American suits reflect that ethos.

I was a teacher and the only one in the entire school to wear a tie every day until I retired. I usually wore a jacket to work, but took it off once I arrived. I have always used Prince Charles, William or Harry as my example. It would be nice to see a video on the Royal style. Thanks.

    Italian - Very versatile and also modern, depending on where you go Italian blazers have pocket flaps and double vents (which I think looks neater when you have your hands in your pockets)
    British - I would say both are very much equal but I give it to Italians for its versatility
    Nothing else to be quite honest.
    American - If you want to look like you have a loose cardboard box hanging on your shoulders
    But all in all, it depends on your body type. I think with the appropriate tailoring any of the above should help, except American.

    I like what I can see of the jacket you are wearing now. I wish you would utilized the button-down collar shirts. That's all I will wear. I am a fan of that style. I have what I believe is the perfect suit from Nordstrom's - dark grey with three button coat. I got it 25 years ago - I'm retired now and have gained weight so I can't wear it. But I keep it as the absolutely perfect example of the American suit.

      The German suit in the 30s and 40s with Prussian heritage by its wasp shillouette is very cool and I love the German suit fashion and it’s militaristic touch (mostly non-flashy suits, wide shoulders, small waist, thicker material, mostly wool)

    I don't think the right world for Italian classic style, should be casual. Casual is something you were when you are on vacation. Italian clothes and styles are very different, and they are perfect for cerimonies, businesses, formal situations... it's not just casual. Always wrong people abroad talking about Italy. Also I would never use brown suits.

      I think the word casual can be used, but not in the informal sense. I say this as a southern italian, we're "casual", in the sense that we have a more relaxed, easy going life pace and it reflects in our tailoring too. We tend to be that way even in more formal occasions, we hate to be rigid and upper-lipped even in important situations, and even if it's for a formal thing we want our clothes to appear more "relaxed"

    For me, I really love the British suit fit and silhouette but the years haven’t been too kind to me. The fit of the American style fits my broad and father body much easier and more comfortably than the British style. Italian was never an option as it’s far too slim for my chest and legs. I do have a couple “well fitted” suits for when the occasion calls, but for the most part, the American sack suit is what I’ll reach for

    Great video, thank you for the information. I guess the Milanese style might be the best in terms of "one size fits all" but all the different styles have interesting details! Also it would be most interesting to see a video on the lesser known styles of tailoring, such as the French or German.

  • @fedormakarov3309

    Will we see the video about some features in other country`s tailoring, such as German and French? It will be educating since most of the people out threre know very little about it.

    Because I'm a very large person both in height and a bit of portlyness I typically fall into a loose and relaxed look of a morning coat, a simple waistcoat and a usually open collar. Also I like the very popular in the 30s both here in the US and England of mixing colors and textures. Also full cut pants. (Often I get away with a charcoal denim jeans) although I tend to air on the more northwestern looks from the late 19th century (hence the morning coat as all day ware)

    Great video, but a lot of mistakes in the sack suit description; undarted doesn’t mean boxy, they were cut very slim with straight hanging lines. The trousers were always tapered with cuffs. Very common misconceptions.
