Ministry of Supply Video Review: Yes, Science Can Improve Style

Ministry of Supply Video Review: Yes, Science Can Improve Style

The video below dives deep into Khoi’s review and try-on haul of Ministry of Supply’s workleisure clothing line. Coming from The Gent Within YouTube channel, Khoi’s approach is analytical yet practical, highlighting how the brand merges comfort with professionalism in a way that speaks to the post-pandemic shift toward versatile wardrobes.

He explores six key pieces in the collection—ranging from performance pants and polos to sustainable tees and even a 3D-knit face mask—offering detailed insights on fit, fabric, and functionality.

The Kinetic Pant

Khoi kicks off the review with the Kinetic Pant, describing it as the ultimate work-leisure hybrid. It combines the polish of chinos with the stretch and softness of performance pants, making it a strong candidate for both office and gym settings.

A unique feature is the interior waistband’s rubberized dots, which keep shirts securely tucked—perfect for maintaining a sharp look. Khoi also points out a thoughtful design update: a drawstring option in place of a belt, which adds casual versatility.

The fit is slim and tapered, hugging the waist and legs without being restrictive, though Khoi notes that inseam options could be more accommodating for shorter men. Moisture-wicking fabric and a flattering rise seal the deal, making these a wardrobe workhorse.

The Active Tee

For Khoi, the Active Tee is a clear favorite, thanks to its blend of functionality and low-key polish. He points out that the tri-blend fabric—infused with Merino wool—delivers noticeable stretch, breathable comfort, and an ultra-soft feel. In his view, it hits that sweet spot between athletic and elevated, with a drape that transitions effortlessly from casual outings to a quick workout.

Khoi highlights the raglan sleeves, which subtly enhance the shoulders, and appreciates the ideal length that works tucked or untucked. For him, this tee is a go-to for cardio sessions and errands alike, combining comfort, movement, and everyday appeal in one sharp package.

The Apollo Polo

Khoi calls the Apollo Polo a refined take on a timeless piece. With temperature-regulating fabric and wrinkle resistance, this polo steps beyond the standard cotton version. He appreciates its breathable, sweat-wicking construction but flags a minor concern: the non-removable collar stays might warp in the wash.

Fit-wise, it’s slightly slim with a straight hem, making it a solid option for untucked wear. Khoi suggests it shines on guys with a lean or athletic build, offering just enough structure to elevate your casual game.

Chroma Denim Jeans

For denim, Khoi reviews the Chroma pants, which prioritize comfort and sustainability. The dark indigo wash and subtle stitching give them a versatile, clean-cut vibe. Stretch is adequate without compromising shape, and the mid-weight fabric compares favorably with brands like Levi’s and Everlane.

While Khoi finds the inseam a bit long for his frame, he praises the consistent fit and adaptability. These jeans are built to handle long wear without sagging or stretching out, making them a reliable option for casual or smart-casual looks.

Responsive Tee and Aero Zero Dress Shirt

Khoi describes the Responsive Tee as a muscle-fit undershirt with coffee-infused fabric for odor control and quick-drying properties. Though snug, its stretch and length make it versatile enough for standalone wear if sized up.

On the dressier end, the Aero Zero Dress Shirt pairs remarkable stretch with eco-friendly construction. While its length requires tucking for shorter frames, Khoi appreciates its clean drape and wrinkle resistance, calling it an ideal workwear piece for guys who value movement and sustainability.

3D Print-Knit Mask: Pandemic-Ready Comfort

Ending with the 3D Print-Knit Mask, Khoi highlights its ergonomic design and comfort-focused features like soft ear loops and a filter slot for added protection. It’s not N95-level, but it offers more functionality than a basic cloth mask, fitting snugly without discomfort.

Khoi views Ministry of Supply as a brand tailored for the modern era, where flexibility and sustainability are as important as looking sharp. From pants that move with you to tees that feel as good as they look, their collection is built for the guy who wants to do it all—comfortably.
