0:09 Walk hard as fuck

[TheAremo]

I respect the man and what his done. But I would never buy any of his manufactured suits.

[bonebanner]

Coolest dude I've seen. So smart on how he explains things

[merse2007]

his suits are fly as shit. makes me proud to see my fellow africans succeed.

[projectbrownman]

Style is substance. If you don't understand that you're just carrying yourself through this life. Ideals and philosophies are stylish, thoughts are stylish, lives are stylish. 'Lifestyle' is not an accident of neology. History is trend. Zeitgeist reflects and creates who we are at a given moment, And zeitgeist is style. I'll stop now.

[Exverlobter]

His ties are so thin and small. Awkward

[viksra]

Does anyone know what sunglasses he has on at 6:17?

[specialk22tt]

Very nice tailoring; however, this guy EXUDES pride. Humility is completely lost with this guy. Pride before the fall.

[vonvodka]

4 people still don't understand why style matters.

[wuwindz]

love his collar

[aelfc]

1 word. swagger

[Mr89Amerigo]

I want some Oswald Boateng suits ASAP. How much do his suits run for?

[otayba]

anyone knows the song or singer at the beginning?? Thanks!!!

[HugoDoguh]

@otayba It's by an artist called Burial, i can't remember the name of the song off the top of my head though

[atakorah]

@otayba the song is called distant lights by burial.

[Godkiller08]

@otayba Burial - Distant lights :)

[goonbot3030]

Style matters, but also camera work is quite important.

[easye1973]

I love how he has virbant shirts but he only wears white its great!

[IakonaWayne]

Looks like the brother from lost : Lance Reddick

[curtisb3000]

Hands down...a style icon!

[RiiDDiiM]

@jollyroger1889 "The very cultural identity of my ethnic group" What a truly idiotic statement to come out, perhaps written entirely with the intent to cause annoyance.

[jollyroger1889]

blacks always accuse white people of stealing black music, but this guy boateng has stolen the very cultural identity of my ethnic group. everything this guy represents is english heritage and culture, dressed up with some vulgar african colours, much like the black american pimps of the 1970s. the way boateng dresses is the way englishmen and all white men use to dress, elegant and proud, before the liberal media started selling the loser tag to western men as a badge of honor.

[covmatak]

@jollyroger1889, Don't talk crap because you sound like an idiot!!!!

[TheBravekillah]

@jollyroger1889

It is also important for you to note that black people play a pivotal role in the history of Britain; cast your mind back to WW2, the black participation was sizeable, and in particularly the fact that Britain was made great from the contribution of blacks. To believe that Britishness has a single racial connotation is quite a limited perception, and perhaps you should feel a sense of honour that what you deem to british transcends racial barriers.

[TheBravekillah]

@jollyroger1889 Also, if he were 'anti-british' would you not ostracise him, and deem him to be a terrorist?

[TheBlackBriton]

Serious Style!

[mavericksf16]

He's killed Savile Row tailoring.

[J999ACK]

How do you mean? I hate the rather plain and conservative suits that huntman and G&H provide. Oh yes, they make the best suits in the world, but they don't look as unique as an Ozwald looks like. Im ordering a pink suit (like frankie boyle live, suit) next week, and I cant wait!

[mavericksf16]

Boateng suits are garish due to the use of silly colours. Savile Row has a tradition of creating elegantly designed suits and I like that fact that some of the houses are still preserving this. I had a suit made by Steve Hitchcock last year and wearing it really shows that you have unique tastes and not a flash bastard.

[J999ACK]

I have heard of Steve Hitchcock, Is his suits as expensive as for instance G&H's? What design did you get? I cant reply to your comment as I don't have enough knowledge of Steve Hitchcock to reply fairly.

[Wuffa]

Maybe you should try a Boatang bespoke...if you can afford it. Sharp and actually very traditionnal touch. nothing garish at all but refeshingly modern. He is a mastercraftsman. And I speak as someone who has had bespoke (not made to measure) at Huntsman, and Richard James. G&H btw are fairly cheap and nasty now...hardly Saville Row standards,

[mavericksf16]

I did have a look at OB suits but you can't touch the old traditional tailoring. I had bespoke suits made by Steve Hitchcock and Andrew Ramroop and comparing the two to OB you will instantly note the difference.

[godofthisshit]

@mavericksf16

Difference such as?

[BenNCM]

I wish he'd kill you while he's at it.

[mavericksf16]

It shows that you're a chav and someone who'd never be able to afford a bespoke tailored suit.

[BenNCM]

Your comment shows that you are a woman trapped in a gay priests body and on that basis will never be able to afford one of Ozwald Boateng's fuzzballs.

[GayRepublicanPatriot]

The guy should actually try wearing a shirt that fits and is noncreased

[YouPenetrate]

lol, who does he (and everyone else here!) think they are!.

[mynameisjunior]

so damn elegant.

[BadAssBen78]

This guy is enthusiasm personified , an absolute Gentleman , well he comes across like that . Keep doing what your doing big fella.

[OBOgun27]

Thanks for posting this, I've been looking for this series!
