Men’s Jacket Lapel Types – Peak Lapels – Notch Lapels – Shawl Lapel – Suit & Sport Jacket Lapels

um…. Shoulder pads should end at the shoulders. yours are too big.

This video does a good job of explaining the different kinds of mens suit
lapels. It would be better if he showed them but it still does the job
pretty well.

Oh wow, when I first saw that sport lapel in your other videos, I thought
that was the ugliest thing ever, but now that you explained what you can do
with it thats incredibly cool and now I want one

This videok helped a lot. I’ve been trying to find out which lapel is
formal enough for prom.

@DrCoupDesprit It’s a different and more specialized look that a jacket
with lapels — I wouldn’t recommend it for any kind of work or business
setting, just because it stands out so much. Could be an interesting piece
for social events, depending on the jacket, though.

@CroSpartacus well if its custom then it shouldnt be a problem assuming
that your tailor is a talented one.

@SirBlade666 Well, when you think about it it’s just two quick diagonal
cuts, plus a tiny bit more hemming — practically the same as having a
perfectly flat lapel in terms of manufacture. I believe we’ve already done
a French-cuff specific video, but one getting into the more uncommon styles
could be fun…

the subscribe button is at the bottom not up there lol

Why is a notched lapel so much cheaper and easier to make then the others?
I thought in formalwear the peaked was for black jackets and the shawl for
white ones. Next video cuff types?

i have been saying lapel wrong for many years o.o

Can you do a video for a pale/reddish skin, strawberry blonde hair? Need a
suit 5-6 days a week. What else can I do to change it up besides
navy/charcoal, 1 solid, 1 pinstripe of each… what are some other options
to mix it up? – Law school student

Jackets buttoning to the neck are not limited to the military, not even in
western clothing. Jackets with mandarin collars are fairly common among
orchestra conductors, and this style of jacket buttons to the neck.

Can you try bring up the contrast a little bit so that the video would look
a bit sharper/vivid. This is my personal opinion

I get good reactions to it, I get bad reactions to it…but I get
reactions, and that was kind of the point when I started wearing it 🙂

I just bought my first custom charcoal suit in a peak lapel! I am 24, 6’3,
and muscular in the chest area. Am I in trouble?

Can you link me to these videos? i can’t seem to find them and I think
these sport lapels are interesting

Antonio, this was a fine presentation sequel to your discussion on double
breasted and single breasted jackets. A suggestion though. In lieu of
graphics you should have changed jackets as you were discussing ’em. I know
what your taking about; other viewers may not. Also, how about a
critical/historical discussion on lapel withs and notch heights over the
decades. That would interest me very much.

@duesenbergmj Glad you enjoyed it!

Do you look more professional wearing a suit with a notch lapel than a peak
lapel?

Informative…but I think showing examples of each type of lapel as you
speak would be of assistance to some.

@roamingmadnessify Depending on your school/firm dark brown suits might be
acceptable any day of the week, or in more conservative firms only on
Friday. Same goes for a Glen check.

I don’t think so. I recently wrote a thread about that topic at ask Andy
forum, most of examples i site are brand news since 2011 onward

@RealMenRealStyle Thanks for the advice! Are jackets without lapels too old
fashioned?

Thank you very much for this video. I asked about lapels before. Greatly
appreciated, sir.

Hello! I would like to thank you for uploading and doing this video that it
helps me a lot for my fashion knowledge and I love about the descriptions
which you describe and the history of the lapel. I have enjoyed it a lot! I
have subscribed you! 🙂
