As a 6'3" fellow club member, the reality is that we are an unusual breed and therefore widely misunderstood by many style channels. In fact, anyone in the 6'3 - 6'7" bracket has very different proportions to someone that is 5'8" - 5'10". One has to also be mindful of one's build - you could be a lanky 6'7" athlete or a 6'3" hardass like Alan Ritchson of Amazon's Reacher fame.

Thanks for the advice! I'm about 5'6'' and my head is quite big. So I think I'll take your advice about widening the shoulders to help out with that. Happy Holidays!

Antonio - I have to say, the research and content you put in your videos is top notch. For me, it puts you a cut above the other style channels on YT. All the best, James (London, UK)

Agreed. I'm just under 5'4" and my wife is 5'2". It's really difficult to find clothes that fit properly. Especially since I have a shoulder width of a taller man, finding a shirt that has sleeves that fit is pretty much impossible, they all have to be shortened.

You know, as a tall guy who also works out (and has a rather wide frame naturally) the two biggest issues by far is even finding trousers that fit around my quads (most trousers don't have huge diameter legs) and over the shoulders (if it's wide enough over the shoulders it'll be like I'm wearing a 5-man tent most of the time, if it's too tight over the shoulders it restricts mobility and looks really weird). Doesn't help that proportionally I'm all torso no legs, a genetic freak if you will (not in the good way).

Antonio, you need to make a video on how big a collar should be in order to be proportionate to your head size, shoulder size, and height. I'm talking about the collars on flannels, button-downs, and dress shirts. If you could make that video it would be awesome!!!

Great video Antonio. I'm glad you mentioned about the ratio of torso to legs and the need to fit your clothing to your specific body. I'm just over 5' 11" and my younger brother is a little over 5' 9" so I'm taller than him standing up. When we sit down next to each other though, he's about two inches taller than me. He takes after his dad and has a much larger torso than I do while I actually have somewhat disproportionately long legs for my height. It became an issue when he was in between cars and had to borrow mine to go to work as we'd constantly be having to adjust the seat for height and distance whenever the other used it. Our difference in proportions is very noticeable when it comes to clothes. We both have about the same waist, but his pants have to be significantly shorter than mine. Fortunately, our mom is a seamstress so we've always had well tailored clothing despite growing up relatively poor, and it's actually been noticed. I remember back in high school a guy in my class told me laughingly that his gf had told him she thought I was rich because all my clothes seemed to be custom tailored. In reality, though much of what I wore really was custom made, some pieces had been made from leftover scraps my mom had rescued from work. Well fitted clothing really does stand out.

Thanks Antonio, this is one your better videos in recent times . One doubt : should the ratio of head - waist to waist - ground be 1.61 or should the ratio be from shoulder to waist to waist to ground be it? . Also I am 6'4, with a lean athletic body, and your video was very helpful.

5:53 so accurate. I’m 5’9”, 41in chest and 31in waist. I actually do get custom suits but people don’t believe I usually buy size L or even XL sometimes off the rack. I do tuck my shirts in fyi. Vanity sizing is real, if it’s a vintage item or made before 2000’s I’m a true medium

Great video Antonio! Also, I happened to watch this video on my way to NYC for the Thanksgiving weekend and decided to pay a visit to Peter Manning's NYC store.

In UK the problem is the rise on the trousers. Low fitting is ok on slim younger guys, but over a certain age and waist size, and with a fuller bum, the trouser dont go up high enough, particularly at the back, so they feel like they're slipping down all the time.

I'm 5'8"/9 but not a big guy. It's not all about height as I'm very slim and that also makes things difficult. As you point out, it's things like leg length/arm length and chest etc that matter. I generally operate at the smaller end of the size scale and I find with dress shirts it can be tricky sometimes. There are a lot of guys who struggle more than me though.

You lost me at golden ratio.

You mentioned Bangkok. If you go there, be vigilant about how you describe your needs. I had a bad experience, really a wasted trip, because I didn't stress enough that I wanted natural shoulders, and I ended up with built-up shoulders, such that I don't ever wear them.

Great explanation in general terms... Now, how about some in-depth instruction on how to implement the tenets you've touched on here. Maybe some recommendations for brands for taller guys (I'm 6' 3"). Specifics about the collar width you touched on, for example. I started buying made-to-measure shortly after I first found your channel maybe 7-8 years ago. How do I know if they know these rules? Help out a vet, Antonio.

12:10 LOL 😂 I DONT KNOW WHY, BUT I JUST GOT THAT IMAGE OF THE MOVIE CONEHEADS WHEN YOU WAS TALKING ABOUT SHORT GUYS WITH BIG HEADS!

As a lanky man with rounded narrow shoulders and a disproportionate build having the torso of an 8 year old and limbs of someone 7ft, I totally agree with attempting to dress to balance yourself out. Also raglan sleeves are wonderful and finding companies that offer what fits you along with developing a good relationship with a tailor are great. Good video. 👍👍

Very nice. In the 1980s you could go into any department store and find dress shirts in exact collar sizes, sleeve lengths, and three shades of ease. Now? You're doing good to find a third of this selection which reflects how little most people care.

I am 5'7", and Ralph lauren works in almost everything. will check Peter Manning as I am not American and have never heard of them.

I'm well above average height, with very long legs. A way I have found to de-emphasize my leg length is to go with cuffed pants (I usually get mine from Banana Republic or Bill's Khakis). Cuffs break the length of the leg up into segments, which reduces the overall apparent length of my legs, but the important thing is to go with taller cuffs than the standard 1-1/2". I go with 1-7/8", and that seems to be the perfect cuff height for me.

I've figured out some of this through trial and error. You shouldn't wear raglans unless you have big shoulders, for example. I'm a bit shorter and have discovered that leaving the shirt untucked only works if it's had a tailor shorten up the hem. You don't want it to look like you're halfway to a mandress. Thin up the hairstyle to give yourself a smaller head, that's totally sound. Additional: layering button-down shirts looks good, and if your arms have some tone, roll up the sleeves. If you wear a puffer jacket, definitely get one with smaller segments instead of big, blocky squares. And while I don't always love the company, Levi's makes the best looking jeans, as the crotch runs higher and they drape better, get 511s. Recently, I picked up a Members Only jacket at a vintage shop for a 1980's Halloween costume, and now I wear it regularly. Damn the flashback style, that thing looks correct, just tuck in your shirt under it and let the waist be narrow, that and the epaulettes working up the shoulders... there's a reason they sold, you just have to own the look and you're good. Short is a handicap, don't let anyone lie to you, but also, don't let anyone lie to you and say you can't maximize what you've got. Looking like you care helps.

Do you have a video about how to dress for your weight? I am a bit larger of a fellow and many of these types of tips are kinda only for pretty fit guys.

Thanks for the info

Thank you for this information !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shawl is by far my favorite sweater style. I must have like 4-5 of them in sweater and cardigan styles. I'm 6'3" ish / 220 lbs, and for sure am cognizant of everything I wear, especially with long skinny legs. The worst part about being a bigger dude though, is the lack of shoe options. I wear 13W-13.5, sometimes 14. Wide feet. Many cool shoe options stop at 12 or 13 and for some reason, shoes just feel way more narrow nowadays than they should. For regular and dress shirts, jackets, and pants, probably 75% of my closet has been tailored. Having something fit your specific body type and walking out of the house looking trim just feels good. And I'm certain nearly everyone in your sphere notices that you always look on point. A properly fitted tshirt and crisp jeans can set it off too. Some things I own have been tailored more than once through the years and I get more dad weight/muscle. Glad stations like this exist. Btw, it's "all of a sudden"....anyway, Semper Fi!

Def needed this

I have that Johnny bravo style body. Every shirt has to be extra long

That's nice... how about some actual examples of how to calculate that formula with some different men's measurements, and how it actually applies? Interesting information, but I'm still not sure how to apply it.

I'm a 5 foot 9 inch guy but have been referred to as "short" many times. And most jeans and trousers are 2 to 4 inches too long! I agree the answer is to invest time trying on clothes to find brands that fit, and avoid getting everything altered. Now I can often tell if something will fit just by looking at it.

Thank you for this valuable video. For years, I have tried to figure out why some things look fantastic on me, whereas others do not, although they are the same size. I am about to retire. So, one might say that I do not need to worry about this now. However, I still want to be even more stylish now that I have a better idea about what that means. So, a tailor is on my list of friends to embrace, and hire (LOL)!!! By the way, I am around 5'10" and still in decent shape. So, why not look my very best? Thank you RMRS for your invaluable information!!! You really nailed this one!

@icawn

Good note about avoiding pockets. I just realized I do this too without even thinking about it, because the pockets always look look large, low, and ridiculous.

I'm about 6 flat with a larger and beefier frame, so I usually go for form fitting clothes and darker colors to slim my waist up a bit. Also I know this is a height video, but a good tip for my other beef cake brothers out there, wear darker form fitting clothes! If your rounder than maybe not but if you're like me and can get away with looking buff, I'd lean into that and for some reason darker clothes help!

I just buy clothes that fit, mostly, and just get everything tailored to fit me so I'm always looking alright. Sucks having different length arms.🤷🏾 I also gravitate to more structure in the shoulders but not overkill so that jackets look like they're wearing me.

I’m 6’2. American Tall has been a godsend for me for long sleeve dress shirts, tall large always fits me. In a store there might be the right sleeve length, but always too short so constantly coming untucked. But with pants, standard sizes are fine, I guess longer torso to legs. Good advice in this vid.

I’m normally a jeans or athletic shorts guy. I have to dress up for the first time in awhile so I’m nervously looking for tips. Last time I bought slacks the pockets puffed out, can I expect that or is there a size differential I’m unaware of? Any tips at all would be tremendous. God bless.

Hey Antonio, any suggestions for a guy with a long torso and short legs? It’s like I try a 2XLT and it’s baggy but an XLT is too tight.

Im somewhat tall, with a rather normal build. I'd like a follow up on this video, where you dive into actual measurements and ratios - how do I hit the La Divina proportione?

Like John Malloy in Dress for Success, you’ve in short order established the principles of appropriate dress, viz., proportion to the mix. Semper Fi (from a MGySgt).

Great advice here about being aware... I'm 6'2", I can't tell you how many shirts I have that are too small in the collar, too short in the sleeve, or too tight across the shoulders, because I didn't understand how to consider those things in my purchase... They felt all right when I bought them. After about 2 hours of wearing them, I never wanted to wear them again. Wish I'd known this stuff a long time ago.

It drives me nuts when I see pant hems and jacket/shirt sleeves that are not the right length. Too short? You don't know what you're doing and bought the wrong size! Too long? To cheap to go visit a tailor and get it fixed. One trick I use is to wear antique arm bands to shorten the sleeves of a shirt that may be just a hair too long. Vertical stripes increase height and horizontals increase width by illusion. Use that to your advantage. If you don't care about your appearance, why should I care about you?

good video

I'm 54, 6'-1" and weigh 240 pounds - athletic frame - and I also have a masters degree. People always mistake me for either a cop or a mobster. I'm trying to find the right balance with my clothes. I'm a pretty simple guy but I've found that the more expensive clothes have a better fabric that just lays really nice on my body. I'm also dealing with having to get everything tailored. I'm right between XL and XXL - even some XXL is snug in the arms/neck/shoulders. If you haven't already, can you do a video for us bigger (but not fat) guys?

nice video

Question about the shoulder to hip radio:: is that circumference or a straight across measurement?

Honestly, wear clothes that YOU LIKE and that YOU find comfortable. F*** what people think! Just do YOU!

That was almost a lot of information and ended up being none, amazing.

I would have liked this to be a longer video going into more detail

Sounds like I should film part II for this video. What would you like to see in the longer version?

@@RealMenRealStyle More examples and some hard numbers. I liked everything that was in the video but it seemed more like an explanation that these concepts exist more than the concepts themselves.

5’5”, 165 lbs currently (muscular) with 16+ yrs as a PMC (Private Military Contractor). I have never been too informed on fashion, I admit, but I’ve learned the value of dressing well and have begun to avoid baggy clothing unless I am just chillin at home. Slacks that fit well and don’t have a crotch line that falls too low is one of those hard learned lessons lol! I now generally avoid t-shirts when going out (wear ‘em at home) and stick to dress shirts of varying fabric depending on weather. So, a more casual dress style, I suppose! Also I avoid flashy graphics on clothes, and stick to solid colours. Same deal with shoes, I typically go with something subdued, though I would like to maybe buy more shoes that look “dressy” but for casual wear. I hope all the hot (war) zones I’ve been in have not made me shrink any further, else all my wardrobe will be for nothing! Imagine not being able to find a wife, ‘cause she can’t see me…LOL 😅

Hey I was actually looking to go into that line of work, no military experience looking to go in. Do you any advice on the PMC career path, finding the good jobs etc? Is Special Operations experience 100% necessary?

@@Prometheus7272 The field today as of 2024 is actually far different than it was when I entered it in 2004 while working on an IT contract at the Pentagon (for AFPCA - Air Force Pentagon Communications Agency via Lockheed Martin and its main subcontractor, whom employed me). Back then literally anyone with or without experience were easily able to get into these companies and even into roles that were well above their experience and skill level. I've heard of guys who became Team Leads for security teams that had ZERO experience and training - and in the majority of cases - ended badly for them, even with loss of lives. Some companies will take individuals that are healthy and physically fit, and offer training courses (as I went through) and you don't necessarily have to have any formal training or experience in the military and/or law enforcement. By and large though, most of the guys entering this industry do have those experiences. I would suggest, so long as you're relatively fit and healthy, medically, you could apply to most of these companies. Some are more stringent in who they hire, but most tend to operate in a security role - very rare for a PMC to function in an actual military capacity, unlike the one I work for which had its start as being built from covert spec. ops military teams from S. Africa. In short: Find some in your country, I believe most have websites you could apply directly on! If you do have some experience with the use of firearms, that's always a plus to state, otherwise many do offer training programs as part of the employment process. Again, most companies deal in the Security role and not military - at least in a public. Security roles aren't bad either, its good work, honest work even. Your clients may not always be good or honest, but its not any different than working any other job. You'll have good people you interact with and bad ones. Also: NO Spec. Ops experience is necessary, never has been. Its considered a major bonus of course, but not a direct requirement that I've seen any PMC state openly. I should add at the end here that there are numerous jobs as well that could range anywhere from Accounting to IT jobs with these companies. It goes without saying that you ought to let your interviewer know what it is you want out of the job so they could figure something out. Best of luck to you in your endeavors! :)

5'7, somewhat athletic here. As said in the video, learn what brands sell casual stuff (polos, jeans etc) off the rack that fits and buy them almost exclusively - for me, that's fresh clean threads and the perfect jean. At most, I have sleeves to hem. For tailored jackets/outerwear, if you know your key measurements, you can get super high quality stuff used with only minimal tailoring needed. Just get the shoulders and length right. You'll be replacing your jeans and polos periodically any way, but a great topcoat or suit will last forever, so invest a bit more here (along with resolable shoes). Unless you're very long torsoed and short, a 2 button suit will elongate your height vs 3. And for short guys, err slightly on the side of trim/fitted without going into the 2010s James Bond suit fit. Extreme fits won't age well.
