How To Spot A Quality Suit - Hallmarks of Expensive Bespoke Suits For Men - Gentleman's Gazette

About this video

The Gazette team presents 15 hallmarks for identifying expensive and quality suits, covering details such as labels and brand recognition, rounded corners, pick stitching, handmade construction elements, buttonholes, fabric reserves, buttons, shoulder construction, material composition, and trouser construction. The speaker demonstrates these quality indicators on a vintage bespoke suit and encourages viewers to reference related videos on suit fit and spotting cheap suits.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that brand labels, designer lines, and tailor locations (such as Savile Row) are immediate indicators of suit quality and price point
• The Gazette team recommends examining internal construction details like hand-stitched linings, hand-sewn collars, pick stitching on lapels, and full canvas interlining to distinguish expensive suits from cheap ones
• The Gazette team suggests checking external details including rounded corners, pattern matching on stripes and checks, hand-finished buttonholes, horn or corozo buttons, shirt-style shoulder construction, and fabric reserves as reliable quality markers
