I'm A Custom Clothier: Here Are My Favorite Jackets

About this video

The Gazette team showcases their personal jacket collection, discussing how their approach to custom tailoring has evolved toward versatility and intentional design choices. The team walks through their favorite pieces, explains specific customization decisions like button configurations and pocket styles, and shares upcoming fabric selections that align with their refined aesthetic philosophy.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team prioritizes versatility when curating jackets, ensuring pieces work with multiple items in their wardrobe rather than serving as standalone statement pieces
• The Gazette team has developed signature customization templates over time, such as two buttons on sport coats versus three on suits, and strategic use of colored buttonhole thread only on the bottom button to avoid drawing attention to the lapel
• The Gazette team carefully considers fabric weight and lining options to create jackets suitable for layering across multiple seasons, with quarter linings for lightweight pieces and full linings for warmth
• The Gazette team has moved away from bold early customizations toward subtle, intentional details like ticket pockets, specific lapel styles, and half or full canvas construction based on intended use
