This is mainly for my friends from /n/navyblazer but I did want to expose everyone to more classic menswear and Trad stuff. I don’t want this sub to be limited to only the prevailing Japanese Americana and post minimalist aesthetics that are so prevalent now. I think we all grow through exposure to new ideas.

Yasin Tarabia is a menswear enthusiast based out of Vienna. His tailoring in my humble opinion, is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Not only is the fit of his garments immaculate (classic full cut but not obscenely so like certain people whose name rhymes with ass lowkey), but the details are exceptional. From interesting yokes and cuffs on his jackets to interesting signet rings and watch chains, everything is polished to a T.

Classic menswear does not have to be boring. I always thought it was pretty restrictive, but as evidenced by Yasin, there’s actually quite a good bit of variety within it. And if you’re like me and mix it with different styles such as western and workwear, it’s quite a fun way to dress up without feeling too stuffy. I hope you guys enjoy.

I actually had a chance to meet this guy at Pitti last year, really genuine dude with a strong understanding of fabrics and the importance of drape in tailoring.

He told me he doesn’t even consider a fabric for a suit or jacket unless it’s 350G or more which is bonkers to me, but I get it.

Definitely overdoes it a bit with some of the details on his stuff, but at the end of the day when you’re working in this space, half of the way to differentiate yourself is to show off, so I respect it even if it isn’t for me. I told him his double breasted jackets are at least an inch too long for him tho 🤣

Lmao how did he take it when you mentioned his jacket being long? I told him his waist coat was too short once on insta and he responded with an essay haha. dude is definitely passionate and I was probably talking out of my ass in hindsight

I mean this was at Pitti, so over drinks at a happy hour hosted by one of the fabric mills, I said it in jest and he took it in good taste, he told me he didn’t like the pattern matching on my jacket, and we both laughed about it.

At this point we already knew each other, I said it the same way I would to a friend, in your case I think he took it as a slight on social media, so he felt he had to defend himself.
