Style Expert Reacts To CHEAP Amazon Suits [0:00:00]
All right, guys, be honest. What do you think of the fit and look of this suit? We got size
large in red or maybe you think I’m more of a size medium in yellow.
Now, let me be clear. I didn’t buy the cheapest suits on Amazon. Now, I bought cheap suits
that were highly rated. A lot of people gave these suits five stars, four stars. So, I
wanted to see for myself how good are these suits.
Fist up, coming in at $66, we’ve got the mint green special by Yimanie. Now, to be
honest, gents, I was surprised how well this fit me. I’m 175 lbs, 5’9”, and the size
medium, yeah, a few minor adjustments here. Get the hem adjusted on the trousers, the
jacket maybe get the sleeves shortened. Maybe you could adjust the jacket here or there.
But overall, this is passable especially if you wanted to go for a themed wedding, you
want a bright color maybe for a costume or something like that.
Now, I would say if you’re a hard to fit body type, this is something that’s going
to need major adjustments. So, if you got a larger stomach, if you have – you’re
a really skinny guy, maybe this isn’t going to work for you.
Now, what I really like about the trousers and you can see them here is they’re elastic
trousers. It really adds a lot to the comfort of the fit and you don’t even have to worry
about wearing a belt. That being said, if your dress pants have
belt loops and they don’t have adjustable tabs or an elastic waist, then, yes, you want
to wear a belt. All right, gents, so now, let’s do some
rankings. First up, let’s look at build quality. Overall, for a costume suit because
that’s what this thing is. The build wasn’t that bad, but compared to a normal suit which
is being sold as as a tuxedo as a suit, yeah, it’s a 1 out of 5. The stitching was off.
Overall, the construction not matching of buttons, using a hundred percent synthetic
material. Next up, let’s look at the style. I’m
going to give it a 2 out of 5 on the style. Again, bright-colored suits like this, they’re
not stylish, they are costumes. I get it if you want to attract attention. It’s not
classic because I talk about classic suits that men can wear to work, they can wear to
interviews. Next up, let’s talk about the fit. The fit
was good. Now, I think this was – it was chance because small, medium, large, extra
large, these are not sizes for suits. You want more options. But, still they did better
than I thought they would. And I’m going to give them a 4 out of 5 as a reward.
So, with all that information and with the price of $66, I’m actually give these guys
a 3 out of 5. Why so high? Because for what its intended purposes, I think a costume suit,
it’s perfectly fine. But, if you’re looking for a business interview suit, no, you don’t
want to buy this. Now, guys, if you’re buying a suit on Amazon,
I get it, you want to get a great deal, you want to save money. And it makes sense that
you also want to save money on everything else that you buy; watches, shoes, shirts.

Next up, gents, let’s talk about Yffushi’s yellow banana and Yffushi’s red apple. Both
of these suits priced at $69. So, talking about the fit of the yellow banana,
the medium Yffushi. Was I surprised? Well, no, because after the green mint, that one,
same factory they’re making these things in. So, that one fit me well and I saw everything
the same on this one. Maybe the trousers felt a little bit tighter
on this, but that’s probably human variance. I would say though that the design, the elastic,
again, on the waist, spot on just like the Yimanie. So, I did like the fit on that one,
I love the fit on this. Maybe I would adjust the sleeves just to make them a little bit
shorter. The hem, I definitely would shorten, but all of those are easy fixes.
So, when it comes to the fit of the Yffushi red apple. Yeah, this jacket can definitely
be a double-breasted jacket here, a lot of room in the midsection. We’re talking probably
about six extra inches here, which, again, if you’re a bigger guy, this may be the
size for you if you want to go for an eclectic-looking suit.
Let’s do the ranking. I’m going to combine the yellow with the red, same company. So,
for the build quality, again, 1 out of 5 stars. Next up, the style, we’re going to give
it a 2 out of 5. And the fit, I wouldn’t recommend buying suits in small, medium, large,
but I’m going to give them a 4 out of 5. [0:05:01]
So, with all that being said, at the amazing price of $69, I’m going to give these guys
a 3 out of 5, a good costume suit, but not something you want to wear day to day.
So, really quick let’s talk packaging, shipping, and delivery. All three of the first suit
you saw came in a simple plastic bag like that and then wrapped within a separate Amazon
plastic bag. So, relatively lightweight, actually a pretty good way to ship the suit except
it did create some wrinkles which you were able to see.
Now, all the other Amazon suits came in what you would expect an Amazon box. Now, what
I liked about the packaging is they didn’t try to press too much in here. All of the
suits came on a hanger and you know with plastic right around them. If a company specializes
in selling suits online, I would have expected a better presentation out the box. But, yeah,
this got the job done. Next up, let’s talk about the Pierre Laurant.
This suit coming in at $85. All right, so when it comes to the fit of the Pierre Laurant,
I was very happy with the fit. And, I wasn’t surprised though because this is a slim fit
on a 40 regular. Notice, we’ve got three things we’re measuring
for; the chest, the length of the jacket, and overall it’s a slim fit. I’m 175,
5’9”, and I like a slim fit. Maybe I could lose a little bit of weight and I did notice
that, yes, in the trouser area, it was a little bit tight buttoning that up. But, I got it
done and overall, I feel good, I feel confident in the suit.
All right, gentlemen. So, let’s do our final ranking. First up, build quality, 3 out of
5. The construction was fine, the stitching was good. But, it’s the use of synthetic
materials and, yeah, just right here in the fabric, I just can’t forgive it, therefore,
I can’t go past 3 out of 5. Again, if you’ve got to compromise on anything,
compromise, yes, on the fabric, never compromise on fit and make sure to get a timeless style,
which takes me to the next point here, the style of this jacket is good. They nailed
it spot on. A few things I would have changed up, but overall I’m going to give this one
a 4 out of 5 stars. And, let’s talk about the fit. I said this
fit is solid and, therefore, I’m going to reward them with a 5 out of 5. So, based off
all that, plus the fact it’s priced at $85, I’m going to give this Pierre Laurant a
rating of 4.5 out of 5. Next suit, Unlisted coming in at $99. Now,
let’s talk about the fit of the Unlisted suit. So, overall it was good, but it definitely
wasn’t perfect. And the issue I had was with the trousers. They were just a bit tight
too constricting in certain areas, not for the reason that you would think.
So, I’m not a huge guy, but I definitely felt I was like, wow, I can feel my – my
thighs right here as I’m walking around. And then, I looked at the construction, the
cut of the crotch I felt was low on these trousers and that leads to restrictions. Some
people think, oh, it’s going to give me more – more room down there. That’s not
the case, guys. It actually makes it so it’s harder to walk, and I felt this on these trousers.
Now, I know what some of you guys are thinking, “Antonio, just get it adjusted. It’s an
easy fix, right?” Not exactly. Adjusting the height of your trousers crotch can be
very difficult. Plus, when you’re buying a suit off the rack, you want to make sure
when you try it on, it fits you close to perfect, that way you have to make as few adjustments
as possible and you spend the least amount of money.
All right, guys. Now, let’s get into the rankings. So, first up, we’ve got build
quality. Overall, stitching was solid, the construction was perfectly fine, nothing to
write home about. And we look at the material. Okay, they used 100% synthetic. I got to give
these guys a 3 out of 5. Now, let’s look at the design, the style.
Overall, good, two-buttoned suit, everything was spot on. I really did like the overall
style, so I’m going to give them a 4 out of 5. And now, let’s talk about the fit.
So, I know I would have returned this, but I think if you have the right body type, this
suit could work for you, so I’m going to give them a 4 out of 5.
So, with all that information, coming in at under $100 with the Kenneth Cole name, I’m
going to give this one 4 out of 5 stars. Coming in at $119, we have the Salvatore Exte
three-piece suit. All right, so let’s talk about fit and as you could probably tell,
I’m disappointed. I was so excited when I put the trousers on, good fit. I put the
vest on, a perfect fit. Okay. This jacket just has to fit, it was way too large. If
you can’t tell, I’ve got two inches of excess room right here in the torso. The sleeves,
an inch and a half too long. Now, all those things, I can adjust all of
that, but it takes a lot of time and if you go to a tailor, north of easily $100 in adjustments
right there, easily. Maybe even close to $200. And, buying an expensive jacket, you wanted
to save money here, you’re buying it online, you don’t want to be spending that much
to go to a tailor to get adjustments that the jacket should fit you right out there.
I mean, when it comes down to a sizing, this isn’t a slim cut. I should have looked for
that. It’s a regular cut. And maybe for a guy that maybe wants this type of a fit,
he is looking for this, this would be fine. But for me, yeah, I wanted definitely a slimmer
cut than this, so I would have to send this back.
So now, let’s get into the rankings. So, when it came to construction, I’ve got to
show that these guys were step above all of the other suits. I’m going to break my own
rule and give them a 3.5 out of 5. Why so high? Because overall the construction, well,
I mean from the stitching to the attention to detail to the combination of colors, the
build quality was a step above the other suits that I saw.
[0:10:09] Going in now into the style. I’m going to
give them a 5 out of 5. It was the little things like the ticket pocket, just a classic
style, the stitching. Overall, just really nice combination use of color, I’m going
to give them a very high ranking there. Now, when it comes to fit, a 2 out of 5. Why?
I really don’t like and I was disappointed that they weren’t consistent in the overall
fit. The, you know, if the vest fits me like it should, then the jacket should have worked
accordingly. And that right there just disappoints me, so I’m going to give them a 2 out of
5 on the fit. So, based off all that information at a price
of $119 and assuming that some of you guys actually liked this fit or you would be able
to get it adjusted or you’ve got the body type that this would work for, I’m going
to go ahead and give this a ranking of 4 out of 5.
So, what video to watch next? How about a man’s guide to color? Because, guys, I should
use some bright suits at the beginning of this video. I would not recommend that you
buy suits in those colors. But, how do you use color in your wardrobe? I’ve got you
covered in this video right here. [0:11:05] End of audio
