      Suitable for Italian suits: European men are taller and slender, because they have a long upper body and are more picky about their size. People who are too short and fat are not suitable for this suit.
      Suitable for American suits: Suitable for tall and strong men, especially for obese men.
      Suitable for British suits: It is not particularly picky about the body, suitable for ordinary people.

      There's a difference between tailoring for the Royal Family and tailoring for the super rich. If you're tailoring for the Royal Family you're there for the prestige and so you can say that you tailor for the Royal Family. Hence prices aren't going to be as high because you're there for your name and reputation, not for the money. If you're tailoring to a billionaire who the majority of people won't know and might be relatively incognito (like the lady in the video), there's nothing really there for your reputation so of course you're going to go for higher prices. It's like when models wear something custom by a big name designer. The model definitely isn't going to be paying the same as the customer (if they pay anything at all). It's totally believable that the prices are 10x higher than what the Royal Family pays.

    • @cdvax11
      @cdvax11 6 лет назад +1

      Easily if you have a well fitting suit. (And chances are that all of this guys suits are well fitting.) You make a suit based on measurements, then have the client come in for a series of fittings to fine tune the fit. That's how it always works anyway. They don't drape the fabric on the individual. OTOH, the client may have used this tailor on a previous trip to Britain. In that case, all of his measurements, patterns, and preferences would be on file.

    People complaining about starving kids and the rich. There would be starving people with or without us. The ONLY thing the rich do is provide better quality life for people who can afford it and hire thousands of people who need the money. Without the rich, we wouldn't have computers, phones, watches, beautiful houses, pools, quality food and etc. They aren't taking money, why is it so hard for people to understand. I open up a lemonade stand, sell millions and make hundreds of thousands, is that me stealing from the poor or making the lives of people who bought it and sold it better? People are jealous and greedy. Now apply that lemonade stand concept to big companies that sell real shit.

      I agree with some of your points, and I definitely, don't agree with people vilifying the rich, not all are bad. That said, there are many fallacies in your logic though 1. Most inventions, computers, phones, watches and all else you state were not created by the so-called " rich " they were created by innovators, some of whom acquired money and others who died broke and penniless due to " rich " people conning them. One example would be Nikola Tesla, he invented parts of almost all the things we can't live without today, he was paid next to a meager salary for his contributions and left destitute by JP Morgan. Your Lemonade stand concept works on lower levels of business, but it is way too simplistic for the higher levels, if corporations paid countries like Africa a fair price for say their gold, diamonds, cobalt etc although it wouldn't eradicate poverty there would be far less of it.
      I wont even go into how monopolies like walmart destroy businesses in entire cities because no other company/small medium businesses can compete. We also have endless businesses using their power to stop genuine progress to humanity and real innovation, the big oil companies killed the electric car, stopped magnetic levitation trains which could of helped us travel from US to China in 2-3 hours. All because to corporations profit is everything, not human life. I wont even go into how every year endless cures for cancer appear and after trillions of dollars into researching them all of them just disappear. We have an entire economy built on never curing the core root of the problem, because to big business that is a customer lost. Instead, we have a service industry that provides temporary fixes. These aren't my theories, look up " planned obsolescence " many large brands purposely design products that fail eventually so the customer then buys more or " who killed the electric car " many world famous economists agree.

      Poor people are poor in the mind. Poor people are greedy and nasty. Their vicissitudes makes them poor. They are poor because they are dishonest! They are not punctual, they are disorganized and nasty in many many ways. I have been around them and you’ll be surprised to know how they think. I was born in a very poor house and grew up poor. Now that I’m rich, everybody wants money but when I send them to read books and work they spit on my face. I love it when I see them suffer.

      Seems we have completely different views on the poor then. I too grew up in a poor household, but at least I have a good amount of respect and appreciation for the dedication and hardship they go through, even when in extreme poverty. It's hard seeing your parents not being able to get out of their loophole of poverty. They never could access a higher education due to poverty as children, thus they couldn't get well paying jobs or live in a good condition. But they're amazing individuals, placing immense values in others and often going out of their way to volunteer and provide for other unfortunate people's. They also did so much for me, so I can't help but be immensely grateful for all they've done.
      The poor aren't the bad people. It's simply the person seeing the "poor", collectively, in a bad light. Sure, some poor people are bad. But that's the case with practically every community. You draw attention to the loudest minority in a community until you're so close-minded that you see only that minority, and not the rest of the people. Everyone has different experiences with the relationships they have and people they meet. You were unfortunate to meet those bad "poor", whereas I wasn't. But thank you for your personal recount.

    • @DanielJohnsonPersonalStyling
      @DanielJohnsonPersonalStyling  7 лет назад +20

      xneverwalkalonex - it certainly is a connoseurs choice. Some people love to spend money on art, some on holidays and so on, I think if a suit costs £100 and it works for your daily life then it has fulfilled it's purpose.
      If you have a passion for clothes and want to love them then this is where we come in with suits like this in rare materials made by super skilled people.
      I suppose it's a question of investment - if you spent £10,000 on a holiday that might seem crazy to someone who spends £10,000 on a suit - simply because of where value lies for the individual.
      We have clients who would spend £100,000 on a holiday, but prefer an off the peg suit for £1500. The opposite will be true for other clients.

      Daniel Johnson Personal Styling Never expected a reply lol. Thanks for that.. I want to say again I am in no way knocking you for what you do, must be a very interesting line of work, I also don't want to sound like I'm against all wealthy people, I'm really not, I know one or two, although they're in no way as wealthy as these people, and they're good people, My Mum is Godmother to one of their kids, I just have to roll my eyes at some of them. And having said what I said re the suits I do like to try to find things that are ever so slightly 'off centre' for myself, not as easy to do as I thought, I would like something that's just a tiny bit different even to the point where the difference might not be noticeable unless you point it out but I would know it's there, Something like a suit or shirt with a barely noticeable print on it, something sort of subtly rock n rolll like an ageing rocker might wear, cos that's what I am lol.

      If you think the fabrics depicted in this video are in the slightest comparable to that of a £100 suit, you have extremely little to no knowledge about fibers and fabrics - and I'm not saying this to bash you.
      The fabric for a £100 suit would normally be 100 % polyester. Polyester is a synthetic (man-made) material produced on large scale in factories everywhere around the world.
      The vicuña is an animal that is endemic to western South America and only lives at high altitude in the Andes. It was endangered with extinction in the 1970s. It has the second finest wool in the world, after the Tibetan antelope. The trade in the Tibetan antelope's wool is currently banned worldwide because that wool can only be obtained after the antelope is killed and the latter has become an endangered species.
      Anyway, this Wikipedia template is a good starting point if any of this is of interest to you:

      I have a suit that I bought on eBay that has the label “Canali made for Bernini, Beverly Hills” which is fantastic to wear and the trousers of this double-breasted suit have wider legs than suits I’ve worn. It feels so cool to the touch and superbly comfortable. It always turns heads and I get lots of compliments. It only cost me £80. The most expensive suit jacket you tried on, looked horrible. Even if I was a billionaire, I still wouldn’t think it was worth the price. The gold-striped fabric was very nice, though. If I get a bespoke suit, I will ask that the trouser legs are the same width as my Canali’s whatever jacket style it has.

    I think it's an interesting job and sometimes very hard earned money. I envy you for the trips to savile row, these are absolute masters of their craft. And if I were a man and had the money I would let them make me a suit. Something tailored to your measurements is great and unique.
    And to all these jealous people, all this spent money goes into the economy, in a bank account it would be useless and none of you know how much this people might be spending on charity. How much are you doing it you are above poverty level? Are you living on your minimum to spend the rest on the poor?
    And if you can’t say that 100 Pound suit is the same as a tailored one, they might look the same to someone how has no clou but to weir something tailored to you is a very different thing.
    And just for the kicks: Your 100 Pound suit has been made by poor women and children in Asia enslaved by the clothing industry, this suit definitely has been made by people how can live from what they get paid. So the savile row suit is actually morally better as the cheap one.....
    And no, not alle richt people aber evil and not all normal or poor ones are good.
