Hey, guys. It’s Suho of EXO.
Guess where I am now. It’s the middle of Kangnam.
See this sign?
Ascottage Taylors and shirtmakers. Bespoke and made to measure…
Since my second mini-album is named ,
>, Literally, I am here to get a grey suit.
I’m quite nervous because it’s my first time visiting a tailor shop.
As you can see here
it’s being tailored right here
It makes this place look more professional.
I think I should’ve not worn a hoodie.
Here’s the CEO.
Been waiting for you.
I really liked the show you were on. I can’t say I’m a fan but…
I AM a fan of yours.
Then I am too. Thank you.
I’ve never been to a tailor shop before.
Is it your first time visiting?
It’s somewhat overwhelming.
It makes me think like I’m in England.
Oh, you got it exactly.
We are presenting British-styled suits to customers in Korea.
Do you mind if I give you a brief tour of the shop?
No, I don’t. Can’t wait to see it.
This is where the suits are being tailored in the house.
Here, you can try on different colors and patterned suits and jackets we provide.
It’s a place for customer service.
You know how famous shops like supreme have their own kind of smell in the shop.
it’s like that too. Though I’ve never been to a tailor shop in England,
I can smell it now. I feel like I’m a gentleman already.
The atmosphere bans me from leaning on one leg or dirty talking kind of things.
It’s…
It’s like I have to have a shot of whiskey or something.
It looks like a scene from the movie .
For serving customers drinks, we have a bar here.
This is so cool.
I gotta say ‘Manner maketh man.’ here.
Are you sure you don’t have guns and kinds of stuff back here?
You can press the button to see.
Yeah, no doubt.
If you take a close look at these books…
Oh, wait. Honestly, I thought it’s gonna be opened when you pull the book.
I should’ve done it.
These are sample books.
We have all kinds of bran fabrics here.
Guys will go crazy about here.
Okay, let’s head to the customer service table and let me consult.
What’s the occasion?
My second mini-album is gonna be released.
Though the name itself is , I don’t wear it.
So not wearing a grey suit is the theme.
I named this song because It’s about how the rest of the world keeps going on normally
and I am the only one who stops at the moment of black and grey after the breakup.
I didn’t wear the grey suit on the photoshoot or the music video
because it could be way too obvious. That’s why.
But fans are looking forward to seeing…
Do you have any idea of what kind of fabric and stuff?
Yes, seeing me in a grey suit.
Yes. I have a clear picture in my head.
Let me tell you how it’s gonna be.
First of all, you have to make a decision on the fabric.
Then, a design for the jacket and pants.
Last of all. We are gonna measure your body size to understand and find the best lines for you. That’s the process we are gonna go through.
First of all, let me show you some samples of fabric. Give me a second.
This one’s from Italy.
Feel free to touch it.
They are soft and light.
On the other hand,
British ones are stiff and matte.
This one feels like it’s gonna be soggy if I wear this in England.
Yes, that’s correct.
Only a few can recognize that kind of detail.
It’s hard to say which one is better.
It’s up to your preference.
I know it’s hard to choose only with samples.
It is.
Let’s go try on jackets.
Okay, let’s go.
He’s just wearing a shirt.
I feel like I gotta go sing a song at a wedding.
You can realize how you act differently when you wear a dress shirt.
Let’s put on this grey suit.
How do you like it when you put it on?
Frankly, it looks sexy.
The line and how this color changes from grey to black
depending on the direction of the light.
It might be bigger.
I like this one.
It makes me look like I just graduated a college.
Young and fresh. On the way to job interview kinda thing.
It’s totally different.
I recommend the grey one because it makes you look like a CEO and professional.
Yeah, I think it’s better.
There is something else I want to recommend you to wear.
The vest.
Let me get you all dressed up.
It’s being called a three-piece suit with a vest.
It’s more dressy and formal.
It will be even better with a dress tie.
What kind of dress tie do people wear with a suit?
Let me show you some.
We have three basic colors here.
How about this one with a reddish or greenish color?
Wouldn't it be good too?
I’m just saying.
I think it would be better than just solid grey.
Okay, let me go get it.
It’s called regimental. Let me show you.
The navy color goes well with the grey suit.
It’s so basic you can wear it like this for most occasions.
Or like this.
It looks good.
It’s tone on tone.
Burgundy color gives you different look.
It looks fancier.
It’s brighter than I thought.
Just take a look.
I think grey and navy ones are the best. They are witty.
Depending on the tie you wear, the mood will be totally different.
That’s why I recommend the basic colors.
I think we are good with a three-piece suit.
Now it’s time to measure your body size and find out the best type for you.
Here’s tailor Shin Heechul.
I’m Shin Heechul.
Shall we?
Alright, stand comfortably.
Loosen your shoulders.
Since you have long legs and arms,
wearing a short jacket breaks the balance.
We have to double-check.
Lift your arms, please.
You can tell what you do by your body shape.
Okay, thank you.
It’s more than you imagined right?
Yeah, I’ve never thought it could be this complicated.
But I’m excited to see the suit that suits me.
We will do our best.
Tell us about his body type.
I can tell he was a dancer by his long arms and legs.
It’s a very straight figure.
I can see that too.
His legs are straight too.
My life was straight.
Yeah, I can tell.
I appreciate it.
That’s it.
Based on the data we have measured,
we will make the best pattern we can possibly make.
How long would it take?
After we get the fabric, we will baste.
I don’t know what ‘baste’ means.
Let me show you.
Basting is to sew quickly and temporarily to see how it’s gonna look.
It’s basically double-checking.
Thank you.
We are all done now.
How was it?
It was new.
And I feel like I’m a real grown-up now.
It was fun and fascinating.
You will be wearing basted suit later to adjust details.
You can look forward to it.
