The G Manifesto

More Reader Questions on Going Suited Down

Let’s continue from How to Wear a Custom Suit Questions with more reader questions.

Question: Which tailors do you like in London?

Michael Mason: I like Ozwald Boateng, however I have mad respect for all the cats on Savile Row (one of my favorite streets in the world). I made a stop by Ozwald Boateng on Savile Row last September when I was in London. I picked up some dope shirts and they were really hyping me up on thinner ties so I picked up a few. Top notch blokes. I rolled with them a little during London Fashion Week as well.

Question: You have mentioned before the Custom Suits help a G gain “access”, can you elaborate?

Michael Mason: Sure. Here is a perfect example:

If you can pull all of that off in jeans and a T-shirt, you should be selling “Game lessons” to the masses at 100k per pop.

Question: Do you think girls like men in suits?

Michael Mason: Of course skippy. Here is a little tale:

And this is coming from a fly rich Southern California beach girl who conventional thinking would lead one to believe she would hate guys that are Suited Down.

Question: Do you always wear a tie?

Michael Mason: I go through phases. A few years ago, I almost always wore ties. Lately I haven’t worn them at all (unless the gig called for it). I think I am on the verge of going on another heavy “tie run”.

My tie collection is so ill, I figure why not?

Question: Which venues do you think Custom Suits work best?

Michael Mason: The Racetrack. The Boxing Match. The card game. The Gentlemans Club. The Private Club. The High End Wedding. The Mansion Party. The Art Gallery opening. The Casino floor. The Charity gig. The nightclub opening. The French Riviera Yacht Party. The Lobby bar of a 5 star hotel.

Basically everywhere a G finds himself on a typical day or evening.

Question: Can people really tell the difference between an Off-the-rack suit and a Custom Suit?

Michael Mason: If by “people” you mean the majority of fly girls you want to swoop, then no.

So yes, the trained eye can easily tell the difference.

Question: Which body types work best while Suited Down?

Well, lets see. If you are in mad good shape, a Custom Suit is crazy dangerous. If you are mad skinny, you can look super fresh in a dope suit. If you are a fat f*ck, then you better wear a suit.

So I would say all body types.

Question: What is a “must-have” accessory to a Custom Suit for an up-and-coming G on the rise?

Michael Mason: A pocket square of course. But maybe more important is a lit cigarette. Watch this if you need to know how its done:

Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong – Old 50’s Live show
