A suit is supposed to make you look successful. But most men are paying for a label — not quality. The men's suit industry is one of the most overpriced markets in fashion. Brands charge thousands for suits made with cheap materials, poor construction, and a logo that means nothing. In this video, we break down 5 suit brands that are robbing you blind — and reveal 5 that actually deliver real quality for your money.

Every minute of the day is booked and frequently over booked. Is it weird that this makes me happy? Today is Day 1 for the expanded version and vision of my company. • Suit Jacket — SJ-003 (Peter Millar): An Italian Blue Peter Millar suit jacket with tiny dot texture in fine wool. Fully lined with notched lapels, double rear vents, and four multihue navy wrist buttons—classic business formal elegance. The slight sheen and refined texture project authority during internal leadership meetings without overwhelming. • Slacks — SL-006 (JW Nordstrom): Dark brown wool slacks with a slight sheen, flat-front with no pleats and a low rise. Regular cuffs, medium drape, and business classic formality—the perfect contrast to the Italian blue jacket while maintaining a cohesive earth-meets-navy palette. • Shirt — DS-010 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A white Burlington-weave twill dress shirt with French cuffs, spread-point collar (5.5" spread, 3" height), and bird's eye twill pattern. Non-iron cotton with medium-to-high opacity and mother-of-pearl buttons—a true semi-formal board meeting-caliber shirt. Collar stay size: 2.25". • Undershirt — US-002 (Ralph Lauren Polo): Classic white cotton crew neck undershirt. The medium drape and opacity of the dress shirt provides full concealment, ensuring a clean, polished silhouette beneath the Burlington weave. • Tie — NT-029 (Fort Belvedere): A burgundy grenadine silk tie from Fort Belvedere—3-fold construction, self-tipped, 58.5" length with 3.5" blade width. The signature grenadine weave delivers matte texture and excellent dimple ease (rated 5/5). A timeless business formal choice that adds depth without flash. • Collar Pin — TA-002 (Fort Belvedere): Solid metal collar pin with cubic ends and single-turn cube closure in silver. Elevates the shirt's spread collar, creating the classic "tie lift" that signals intentionality and sartorial detail. • Belt — B-009 (Nordstrom): Dark brown leather belt with a thick collar, circle holes, and silver buckle. The flat finish harmonizes perfectly with the dark brown slacks, creating an unbroken line from waist to shoe.

Gents, I have been wanting to ask you: what is or are the prohibited pieces in your wardrobe NOW? I emphasize on "now" because these have to be items that you used but they are now an absolute no-no for a reason. For me, (1) baggy pants, (2) distressed denims, (3) skinny fit trousers, (4) low-rise trousers, and (3) pastel colored shirts. For me these don't flatter my looks. And are juvenile (except the pastel shirt) as I am now into 40's. All pastel shirts wash me out.

My favorite day of the week!! MONDAY!! Today's a typical Monday, very busy with meetings etc. Whenever I'm getting ready for the week, I try to put as much intentionality into dressing for the day ahead as I do with putting my intentionality into the work for the day itself. Being intentional puts me in the right place everyday! It doesn't mean things to "happen" and plans don't change, but having a good foundation is always the key when you're building anything.
