I'm an average 62 year old New Yorker who never gets a second glance, but when I"m wearing a bespoke jacket, suit or overcoat I get complimented now and then from both young and old men and women. However, it doesn't have to be a $40,000 Vicuna bespoke number you can get an off the rack from Suit Supply and a good tailor can give you the same results...but I highly recommend trying bespoke or MTM because the suit will fit like a glove and you will be compelled to stay in shape (I''ve been at 150 lbs forever because I want to fit into my Huntsman).
Oh hey Chip!!!! It's good to see you my old friend! I just hung out raaaaandomly with Alex Lara ... ran into him in a Star Wars themed bar in Hollywood. Miss you man!
The two "models" look so familiar! I think the male model was on a Survivor series but I just cant place the woman? She looks so familiar! Does anyone know who they are? Thanks.
Good eye, that's my friend David who is the Golden God of Survivor Australia ... the other model is my friend Rachel ... she plays first french horn for the Met and is in a dope band called Genghis Barbie.
I would not eat a sandwich wearing that suit ... I wouldn't even risk it. Ever. Not even a dry sandwich. Like thick cut turkey, no cheese no mayo on pita. Nope.
@liljay300000 There's literally thousands of old buildings (& houses) that have been converted to central heat & air. The problem is the _immense cost_ of labor that goes with installing miles of air ducts. That's why it's not done to large old buildings. It's very doable if you have enough $$.
@@TravelClastmany of the high end cloth have a wonderful handle and are beautiful but many also don’t wear as well and don’t make as well being so delicate. High end cloth is also more expensive so there may be a trade off as to how much of the total cost is the tailor vs the materials. Every purchase is a balance of competing aspects.
Sublime suitmaking is a craft you don't see often, especially with such humility.
well said.
Great guy.
$40,000 USD Vicuna Suit is something truly to marvel at... I don't think I would feel safe wearing that on the F Train.

agreed ... definitely doesn't need to be a 40k anything ... but I would never underestimate the power of a great tailor.
You tell great stories, my friend. Excellent work.

I love your commments
definitely not an eating suit
If only I wore clothes ;)
Its basically the only prerequisite
$40,000 suit conversation and a window AC in his office come on man get your priority straight!
truth.
He's located in a historic area of Manhattan. A lot of those buildings don't have AC because they where built in the 1800's

I’ll pay for a good English make, from a good English cloth. There is too much hype about super whatever cloth.
yes, but ... have you touched it? has it touched ... you?
