The double breasted jacket you have on is perfect, the texture is amazing and the overall chocolate brown colour with beige trouser is excellent.

Thank you Aziz. The fabric is from W. Bills Lamlana Bunch (Angora 50%/Wool 50%). Lovely hand on the cloth. Thank you for watching Aziz. PROFF
Agreed. When I started real estate when I was 19 years old many people at the office made fun of me for wearing such suits,but I felt amazing and could see many of the seasoned agents felt intiminated by me . I hardly knew what i was doing at the time ,yet anyone that met me and didn't know I just started thought I was a complete Boss
Great video and advice.

Great stuff, very informative. I noticed that you never keep your expensive and beloved woollen suits in covers. Aren't they at risk of being destroyed by moth larvae?

That’s good question Ravishing Rick. I try to keep my entire wardrobe in a temperature controlled room. I also will occasionally beat them down quite literally with a stick to make sure there are no moths hiding in them. Thank you for watching sir. PROFF

Hello Nanda. 4x1 is far more suited for a shorter man. The longer lapel line gives and illusion of height. Are you following us on Instagram? @askokeyig Welcome to AskOkey. PROFF

Question for ya, prof: would you urge against wearing a DB for someone in finance who is more of a junior position?
@AskOkeyInc
Жыл бұрын
Hi Kelvin, it all depends. Generally speaking DB’s are viewed as more flamboyant. Hence may be frowned upon for a junior banker at a traditional white shoe firm. But properly done in a dark worsted color (navy/gray), it can be done. PROFF

I don’t know if it is too late to ask a question under a half a year old video, but I want to know if it is acceptable to wear a sweater, maybe even a cardigan under a double breasted jacket, with shirts and ties? Great informative video and I enjoyed it a lot!

YES Yifan, it is. You can wear a sweater vest under any coat (DB or SB) as an additional layer for warmth in the cooler seasons. Provided you don’t tuck the jumper into your trousers 😁 Welcome to AskOkey. Do you follow us on Instagram? @askokeyig PROFF👑
