Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video and love this look. there were 2 quilted jackets in this video, one waxed and the other was just insulated. Both were inexpensive yet great quality for there price point. The Waxed Jacket was from Rydale Clothing UK www.rydale.com/ and the other was from a very small company called Hunter-Outdoor www.hunter-outdooruk.com/ hope that helps 👍🙂

@@TheBritishDapper Thanks. I appreciate it tremendously.

Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed the video👍 😊

Hi John, glad you enjoyed the video. Funny you should mention how the style of the safari jackets have changed since the 70's, as I saw one in a charity shop near me the other day and it had those 4 or 5 inch long pointed collar's that were synonymise with that era and it looked very dated, unlike the modern ones available now which are more stylish. I got your email, thanks John, I'll reply to it tonight. Take care dear friend 👍🙂

Hi Sean, glad you enjoyed the video and great question 🙂 The idea that you shouldn't wear the same colour hat as your overcoat or Jacket is more of a style guideline than a strict rule. Fashion norms and guidelines often evolve, and individual style preferences play a significant role in how people dress. Here are a few considerations: 1. Monochromatic Look: Wearing the same colour hat and overcoat can create a monochromatic look, which can be stylish if done correctly. However, this look can sometimes appear overly coordinated or lack contrast, making it less visually interesting. 2. Contrast and Interest: Mixing different colours can add visual interest and contrast to an outfit. For example, a dark overcoat paired with a lighter or differently coloured hat can create a balanced and appealing look. 3. Traditional Guidelines: Traditional fashion guidelines often suggest that accessories, including hats, should complement but not necessarily match exactly. This helps in creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing outfit. 4. Modern Trends: Modern fashion trends are more flexible, and personal style is highly valued. Some people prefer matching colours for a sleek and coordinated look, while others enjoy mixing colours for a more dynamic and personalised style. In conclusion, while it's not a hard and fast rule that you shouldn't wear the same colour hat as your overcoat, considering contrast and personal style can enhance your overall look. The most important aspect is that you feel confident and comfortable in your outfit.👍🙂

Hi Billy, glad you enjoyed the video. True linen was expensive in the past, however it is now considered to be a more eco friendly material to grow and it is incorporated into more every day wear in the form of mixed fabrics, such as linen/cotton, linen/wool or linen and silk. I personally dislike the untidiness of pure linen when it is wrinkled, it takes time to get used to it, where as mixed linen or cotton fabric tend to wrinkle less and hols their form better in my opinion. And that brings me onto answering you question about seersucker. I have in the past had a seersucker suit and separate trousers, back in the 80's and I love them for their casualness and relaxed summer wear. Seersucker is still very popular now, due to the qualities you mentioned, especially in hot climes.👍🙂

Thanks Maurice, glad you enjoyed the video👍🙂

Hi Maurice, yes you can, but it is a question of how hot the weather is and how comfortable you are👍🙂 I tend to wear lighter fabrics in the summer, linen or cotton and mixers with those materials, they are more breathable and light weight in construction👍🙂

Glad you enjoyed the video and found your way back to using the full Windsor👍🙂

Glad you enjoyed t he video Kay, I still get inspiration and I find inspiration everywhere👍🙂 Its great to hear you gained similar inspiration from films or film stars. Thanks for sharing the story of the Clooney👍🙂

Thank you Sjoerd, glad you enjoyed the video 👍🙂

Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video and both of the knots you state you are great knots😀

That's an interesting observation. I can see how people might use humour as a defence mechanism to deal with uncomfortable situations or to mask their own insecurities. It's a way for them to protect themselves, even if it means laughing at someone else. It can be hurtful when you're on the receiving end of such behaviour, but understanding the underlying reasons can sometimes help in not taking it personally. Often, their laughter is more about their own issues than anything to do with you. In situations like these, it's important to maintain your own self-worth and confidence. Remember, you have control over how you react, and choosing to rise above it can be empowering. Surrounding yourself with supportive and understanding people can also make a big difference.

Thanks👍🙂

Hi Yoric, glad you enjoyed the video and I had noticed you like bond related themes👍🙂

Hi John, glad you enjoyed the video, there was a lot of changes, but it was worth it I think to show case a range of different looks. Inspiration comes in many ways and I thought this might be relatable for someone starting out👍🙂

Hi Yoric, that sounds great, you'll look sharp in that - I have no doubt👍🙂

Hi Ron, glad you liked the video and the brown tie does go well with the light blue shirt and I used some chocolate brown suede brogues to tie it all up together 👍😊

Thanks Mo👍

Glad you enjoyed the video👍🙂

Hi Douglas, glad you enjoyed the video, do you mean the David Niven or the Daniel Craig version of Casino Royale? 🙂

Hi Marcelo, glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for subscribing👍🙂

Hi Ron, glad you enjoyed the video. It’s great to hear you love the suit combinations. David Niven, Sean Connery, and Steve McQueen are indeed timeless style icons, and their influence is undeniable. I understand what you mean about opportunities to wear suits - they can be few and far between. joining clubs, associations or attending charity fund raisers can be a good way of generating further opportunities. Sports jackets are a fantastic choice, though, as they offer versatility and a touch of sophistication without being overly formal. Do you have a favourite style or fabric for your sports jackets? 👍🙂

@@TheBritishDapper in the autumn and winter I choose tweed. Spring and Summer I like Cotton and linen. I have been looking for a searsuker jacket.

Hi Samy, glad you enjoyed it and get inspiration from it👍🙂

Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed the video 👍🙂

Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video, and the principal of using movie looks to gain inspiration 🙂👍

Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video and I agree with you gaining a signature look is a great way forward and using interchangeable items gives greater flexibility 👍🙂

Hi Mark, glad you enjoyed it 👍🙂

Hi William, glad you enjoyed the video and I agree with you inspiration is all around us and I particularly find inspiration myself for the 30s and 40s from movies from those periods👍🙂

Glad you enjoyed the video Melvin 👍I tend to find inspiration every where and for a classic look or even a contemporised or modern look film or TV is a great window into fashion and particular looks, besides social media or videos.👍🙂

Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video 👍Fantastic news about taking delivery of your tweed jacket, I hope you are enjoying sporting it as a look (pun intended). You can get so much versatility as well and I'm pleased my previous video inspired you to try it🙂👍

Hi Billy, glad you enjoyed the video👍 I am a lover of Prince of Wales check suits and this particular one I love wearing, with the berry over check adding that elevated look. It sounds like you've got a great suit there as well. Turn ups (cuffs) are not as common nowadays, but you could buy the trousers with a longer inside leg (the longer the better), to provide more material to allow a tailor to adjust the bottoms to create that cuff or go for a unfinished trouser leg, but better still would be to buy made to measure, but for the best results (if you can) go bespoke (it costs a lot of money - but it is a worthwhile investment in the long run). 👍🙂

Thank you 😊

Hi there, great to hear you employ a suit when walking the dog and I don't blame you for wearing your older shoes when walking on travel trials, I would say that walking on dusty/gravel surfaces in the dry does tend to kick up that very fine dust that makes your shoes look worse than they actually are from a wear prospective. I fully understand your frustration of changing from one look to another, I personally without the additional things a prepare for videos, tend to still work with 3 ongoing ensembles, work wear (gardening/chore based), casual for popping into town and then a little more formal for work or meeting for drinks or evenings out. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your comments👍🙂
