The fact that can reference a video on everything that you discussed in this video is outstanding. It also shows the depth of your knowledge on how a gentlemen should dress and the passion and drive you have behind it! This my friend, is what a practical education on How to be a Gentleman in the modern age should be!!!! And, I'm so grateful that you are doing this on all forms of social media.

I loved the video, I find it very useful and I will try to remember everything you said here! You have become my favourite KZitemr, please don't stop making videos! May I suggest a couple of topics that I would like to see in your channel some day? The first would be leather. Different kinds of leathers and their quality, tips to take care of leather items, what to buy and what to avoid, etc. I love leather and I have many things made of it, from a jacket to a messenger bag, gloves, boots or shoes but I am never sure about what kind of leather I'm buying and if it's the proper one, and how to take of it. The second topic would be colours. Colors that work pretty well together, colors that clash, appropiate colors for different occasions, etc. Matching colors is my weakest point, I am just not good at it! I hope you don't take my suggestions the bad way, it's just that I love your channel and have watched almost all your videos by now and I do trust your opinion when it comes to clothes as you clearly know what you are talking about. So thank you for your videos and your time!

If there's a belt loop there should also be a belt. Also these are good tips but, not all for ethnic folk. We dress a different style. Example: The sweaters suggested aren't going to happen, nor do we wear the cuffed pajama pant. :-)

I love my London Fog, full-length trench-coat. I bought it over 30 years ago and though it's got some mileage on it, it still looks and feels great. When I wear it on a wet winter's day, it's like being embraced by a loved one. I've only had it cleaned once or twice in all those years, and it's even missing a button or two, because, as an old Baltimore homicide detective once told me, a trench-coat should speak volumes of it's owner and the countless cigarettes and coffees consumed while on a life-time of all-night stake-outs.

Well, minus the tie because even without it I would be massively overdressing everyone where I live, even in more formal settings like weddings.

It's not clear to me why there is such a shibboleth against 'link cuffs' ie French cuffs, but not double-heavy with the traditional foldover. To quote from an article about Alexander Kabbaz, an approved custom maker of bespoke shirts: '...Master Shirtmaker Alexander Kabbaz touts the benefits of link cuffs. Link cuffs are designed to be fastened with cufflinks, but not to fold over like French cuffs. Explaining one of the benefits, Kabbaz said "The major advantage here is comfort. Unlike the double-heavy French cuff, link cuffs are much lighter. In addition, the do not have the great bulk of the better-known cuff and therefor slide much more easily within the jacket sleeve. "It is little-known", he continued, "that the link cuff was not only the first cuff, but also the most formal. It is the only acceptable cuff to wear with formal dress. Before the idea of buttons came about, men were known to punch a hole in the (single) cuffs and use a string to tie them together for warmth." ' George VI of England once reprimanded his son, the Prince of Wales, for wearing brown shoes with a blue suit. Of course once Edward VIII became king, he became a tastemaker and mainstreamed this choice of color. Later as the Duke of Windsor, he was famous for his immaculate good taste as well as for choosing the most comfortable clothes he could wear, and bringing many other heretofore proscribed articles of clothing into fashion, like blue dress shirts and Fair Isle sweaters. It seems to me that there is nothing inherently untasteful about single-thickness, 'link cuffs'; the only objection seems to be that they are 'comme il faut' for white tie; it is as though they are 'reserved' for white tie. Surely this doesn't exclude them from our fashion purview. I would love to hear the Gentleman's Gazette's opinion as to this topic.
@gentlemansgazette
7 жыл бұрын
+Sam Lander I have seen Mr Kabbaz in person at trade shows a few times, and I would certainly not dress the way he does, but each to his own. Also bear in mind, that a great craftsman is not necessarily great stylists. A single cuff of a white tie shirt was traditionally starched, clean and neat. Folding it would have not looked good. Comparing a starched single cuff on an evening shirt to a single cuff on a modern day dress shirt is like comparing apples to oranges because the starch is what ultimately increases the formality. An unstarched wing collar and cuff would not work with white tie. The Prince of Wales like softer less formal items and so he preferred a softer turndown collar and soft double cuffs for his black tie ensembles but he'd still wear properly starched cuffs with white tie. Today, single cuffs on dress shirts are ususlly only found on combination cuffs, meaning they have button next to the hole so you can wear them with cufflinks or with a button.

The heel has that click-clack sound. I don't know if this is a hallmark of quality but I don't mind it. I don't think I will buy this Penny Loafer. First I'll buy www.velasca.com/en/product/penny-loafers/168-men-loafers-black-full-grain-leather-leather-sole-demoniett.html then when I have enough money I'll just get a bespoke pair from Berluti.
