Hey TUG, just wanna let you know that your enjoyment and passion in these vids are really contagious. They really cheer me up and make me more appreciative of things in all aspects of my life. I aspire to be as positive and as passionate as you are about life. Loving the vids, all the best 👍

[@theurbangentry]

Hearing that makes it all worth it. You have no idea. If I can cheer someone up with this video then mission complete! Thank you. Keep following your heart, enjoy the little things, never the the negativity of others or the world bring you down. Onward and ever upwards. Best regards, TGV

LOL! I literally finished ironing 3 of my Lacoste polo shirts before clicking the video. Great summer clothing together with linen pants (I don't like shorts). More dapper than a t-shirt but more casual and comfortable than a long-sleeved shirt. Best wishes, Klaus

[@radhie91]

I've a night time ritual now where I watch your vids just before I go to bed. End up dreaming of all the watches I wish I could have! On a serious note tho, watching your videos has gotten me so interested in watches my collection has expanded from 1 watch to 8 in the last 12 months. Your enthusiasm and passion for watches is contagious! Keep up the great vids!

The AM90 go well with the Adidas tracksuit. The intro with Hugo is fantastic. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

[@JohnnyFree1989]

Was working for Clarks for a couple of years in London. Absolutely love the Desert Boot. A pair of suede tan desert boots and a pair of white Air Max 90s will get you anywhere. Keep on rocking TGV!!

Guess who's back? Well, we all knew that day will come when Hugo breaks free. I guess my most important fashion item(s) is my Harrington jackets, because I can wear them with Jeans, Chinos and combine them with Casual and formal clothing. Have a great weekend!

[@ccc369]

You make wonderful videos TGV. Your positive and humorous style is very uplifting. Also nice to learn about the history behind the items. Keep up the good work.

One never travels without a Clark desert boot, a decent watch or two, a sports jacket, or a Lacoste. Ever! Of course, a pair of classic Ray-Ban aviators goes in the inside pocket of the jacket. Definitely do the video on the panic bag, or what we call in my neighborhood a “bug out” bag. Very well done TGV. Hugo needs more episodes so we can keep up with the mayhem in his wake...

I'm not usually one for fashion BUT I do like style. And I can always look to you for that TGV. Aside from watches a few of my fashion items include: my Sonoma dress boots, my Calvin Klein dress coat, and my bracelets (steel bracelets for formal wear and a braided rope bracelet for casual wear.)

[@trisinogy]

True class appears to be effortless while being the result of careful research and deliberate effort; I think videos like this are a testament to that! Excellent content, as always.

[@jeff_desir]

From 86 here, and I can relate to most items on the list, leather goods, tennis shirts, especially air max 90s, my favorite sneakers ever made! Also Clarks, but the Wallabees are more popular amongst our generation here in Canada. I really appreciate your channel, love the content and videography, very cultured entertainment!

[@scottlalonde2878]

Great video TGV, thanks.

[@bsib5021]

I have to agree with you on so much of this list. It is also a great idea for people to look for the original makers of certain products. I have 10+ Lacoste polos. The last forever and will never be in or out of fashion.

[@111danish111]

You have single handedly convinced me to get the air max 90 . Went down to the nike store got measured and later used the design your own feature on their website to get myself a black and white model . It has a heel drop of roughly 8 to 12 mm which is exactly what I need and will be a good addition to my New Balance 990v5 for colder climate without ice .

Question: what are your thoughts on Charlie Hunnam’s style in Guy Ritchie’s new “The Gentlemen?” I feel like it could be up your alley. In particular, the outfit he’s got on when he has a conversation with Colin Farrell’s character for the first time in the bar. This is a style I’d like to emulate over time.
