My tailor is a Russian seamstress with a no nonsense attitude as to what will work and won’t work. Her pinning skills are amazing. I have never had cause to complain. I take to her, good quality, but second hand garments, and she transforms them into perfectly fitting suits and jackets. Thank you Svetlana.

A stylish man knows that he should unbutton his jacket/blazer when seated. Our host's attractive ensemble looks rumpled, because he's neglected to unbutton his jacket. There's an easy mnemonic: 1) Whenever standing, do up one's jacket. 2) Whenever seated, undo it. Simple. One will always look better.

Sadly over here a real tailor is seldom to find and very expensive. 'Regular' tailors for simple alterations such as trouser lengths are no problem. I have that book and studying it. One habit I learned is to prepare my attire the day before if there is an important occasion coming up. This avoids stress on the next day and you have time to examine better what would be the best to wear and how.

As a Florida resident I cannot express the enormous practicality of a pocket square,tie,or boutonniere for a splash of color. I don't have great skin tone so I tend to stick to earth tones. So to wear a paisley tie in green, teal, and pink with a pocket square with just one complimentary color and a boutonniere to bring it together is huge.

Speaking of "oxfords", something I find very strange is that many shoe companies also don't seem to understand what an "oxford" shoe is, as they frequently list Derbys as Oxfords. Weird.

As someone entering into my 50s soon, I truly appreciate your channel for its information and genuine integrity. Your content and overall video production seem to be improving each time. I really like the unpretentious and non-shouty style you have. Keep up the great work. On an aside, I will be headed to London/Paris in December so I definitely plan to visit some ateliers. Maybe you can do a video of your favorite or most recommended shops in London for men's style.

Thank you for the kind words. I would love to make a video on my favourite London stores and hope to get back to the capital in the very near future. But as a rule of thumb, if you walk the length of Jermyn Street ( and Burlington Arcade) you will see most of my favourite mens stores. Have a great time!

I don't know if this has been covered but clarity of speech, cleanness of diction and care in the choice of words are things I appreciate, especially as I get older. Behind these, the foundation, if you like, lies preparation - mastering your text and practicing what you have to say. This is something increasingly lacking among television presenters, including, unforgivably, those presenting the news. Full marks to you on that - I do believe I detect a slight Welsh lilt? The Welsh are particularly adept in this area.

King Charles does not wear a pocket square when he wears his medals on his suit. Of course, no pocket square with a uniform. Ash, I think your dress is right up there with Charles‘s.

I am hard pushed to add anything to this list (but that won't stop me adding my 10 penneth). You called it about right and did not let us down by incuding your final crucial point. The need to look after ones self. It can be difficult at times to apply this, especially when you have a family to look after and lots on. Looking upon you yourself as 'The Old Clothes Horse' is an apt analogy. You would not overwork, malnourish and fail to groom a horse. Then expect it to last the distance. So do take the time to invest in yourself. Exercise regularly. Eat well. Ensure you prioritise this, as well as allowing enough time for sleep. Plan ahead for the next day. Maybe one 11th bonus I could add to the list is, be prepared. Bring a brolly, a small flask, a hat, a torch, spare power bank for your phone, a packet of mints. You get the gist. E.g. some general chap paraphernalia which could come in handy on your journey through life. Stay safe everyone and wish this Chap Community good health as we draw towards the close of 2021!

As for fashion, I set my own, but classical style remains acceptable.

I have found that the secret about a mirror shine is that once you invest the time in acquiring it on your shoes, maintaining it is really quick. A dusting with brush and cloth, followed by a dab of polish leaves you gleaming. A minute or two and you are done. At this point, I can get a mirror shine in about a half hour if the leather is good.

I think you will find that The Chap magazine does not hold the rights to the word 'Chap'. The content of that magazine is entirely vintage focused - this channel is very much focused on the contemporary chap. All content is cyclical on any social media platform, it is merely the interpretation of the topic from another viewpoint. And if you want to talk 'cringy' I suspect that you do not actually hold a peerage 'Lord' Caruthers - now that is cringy!
