Do you know of any good books that teach you how to make Men's Suits and Shirts. Are there any good courses in California?

[RealMenRealStyle]

@Firetown33 Don't know about in California, but we link to some online courses in our Resources page over at the Real Men Real Style blog. Some of the forums we link to are specifically for tailors as well. Could be a starting place!

Oi, I was wondering, is it possible to roll up the cuffs/sleeves of a odd jacket, like a sports jacket or blazer? Thanks

[RealMenRealStyle]

@buildingeverything I usually have my jackets made with working sleeve buttons so that I have this option. But it certainly looks odd -- I don't do it unless I'm actively doing something with my hands that I want to keep my sleeves away from!

Hi, I'm about to get a tailored suit - well prepared with the knowledge gained through your excellent videos! You mentioned a tailor should be tipped (own shop, classy/wealthy one) . Is 10% appropriate, e.g. 800$ spend, 80$ tip ? Also, what should a tailored shirt cost?

[RealMenRealStyle]

@RickDangerous3 Two good questions there - I might actually do a video on the etiquette of tipping your tailor (how much, how to do it graciously, etc.). But to answer quickly, 10-15% is a good, generous range, and 5% at least shows that you know to do it! As to how much a shirt should cost, can vary anywhere from around $100 to over $1000 depending on materials, specific requests, etc. The fabric selection will have the largest influence on the final cost.

@RealMenRealStyle Antonio, I love your videos! Thank you so much. I was just wondering, in terms of fit, how do you tell if the suit fits in areas other than shoulders, torso and sleeve? I mean, what about arm holes (armpit?), neck and so forth?

[RickDangerous3]

@RealMenRealStyle thanks for your replies! Instead of tipping him i went and bought some other things that i needed from him as well (mtm shoes/shirts). I know the outfit matches and he'll make more profit from me as a customer.

[RealMenRealStyle]

@RickDangerous3 Tailors have pride - so don't tip directly unless you're buying in HK or Bangkok. Instead - buy extra shirts and don't try to cut him on price. Shirts are where we make money - especially in a batch. It's a win-win!

@DunkelStern Traditionally a one-button jacket would be buttoned whenever the wearer is standing up. People are a little more flexible about it these days, but that's the basic expectation!
