[@RealMenRealStyle]

Curious - What clothing items are banned from your wardrobe? Comment below! www.realmenrealstyle.com/items-antonio-never-wears/ - Click here to read the article: Items BANNED From Antonio's Wardrobe

[@FroMarty]

Real Men Real Style Wing collars at black tie events. Just make me look too old fashioned. Same kind of applies to 3 piece suits, but then that could change

[@cajanir]

I haven't worked up the courage to try bracelets... Wedding ring and watches is really it for me... Maybe if I wore more street style, then bracelets might be tempting...

[@jdhstyles]

Too big shirts, no more two toned shirts, baggy pants.

[@Aniara64]

Bowtie and girdle in other colours that black or white.

[@Nicool333]

Banned from my wardrobe are: French cuff shirts (except with tux) French collars Eldredge knot Colorful bowties Loud colored suits Reversible belts Loafers/boat shoes Pleated slacks Half sleeve shirts (except for very rare casual occasions) Watches over 45mm Extra rings / bracelets Flat bottom ties Probably some other things but that's a good start. As a sidenote, Antonio I have great admiration for you my man. You have been a great resource. Keep up the great work buddy!

[@DemetriosLevi]

It's great to see that you respect things you wouldn't wear. A lot of people will bash something they don't personally wear. Great vid, as always, Antonio!

[@MichaelJayValueInvesting]

I personally really like the look of boxing gloves, but everyone always gives me strange looks in public.

[@DrHappy-hk4hl]

Omer Neu What do people have against the ascot hahha

[@DrHappy-hk4hl]

Omer Neu it's not really 19 century more like the 50's

[@psilocybemusashi]

really omer? when have you gotten a strange look wearing an ascot? i wear them all the time and it is almost as if no one notices.

[@Nailbone]

Makes it difficult to go to the bathroom without help, though.

[@mc_sea]

This is a good comment.

[@DEUCALION109]

"Now dress sneakers, I would love to start incorporating these into my wardrobe, the problem is..." (let me help you out a bit) "... I'm not 15"

[@casctutorials]

Ascot not? Why man .. i realy like ascot.! Any one else here also likes wearing ascot?

[@gabrielmicu4085]

Yes, its really cool. I want toate wear an ascot.

[@skoobydu1364]

If your Fred then sure.

[@kingartifex]

I have a couple of ascots, but they are too unusual, people will think you are roll playing a prince from 1800

[@dicomohio4743]

I love the cravat.

[@tnmtemerity]

Actually, I think you’d look great in an ascot. I wear them and it’s true that I pretty much never see anyone else wearing them, but then again, I do t wear them to “fit in.” I actually get compliments all the time for them. I encourage you to try them out.

[@PatrickNovotny]

I wear a cod piece from time to time 😎

[@guylewis7418]

Patrick Novotny, bet that’s a real attention getter and conversation piece!

[@yakovantonovich643]

the ascot is definitely extinct and will probably never become popular again. But for me as and ascot lover, that is a good thing. I got one off ebay for 5$ and wore it to prom and among all my friends I got the most compliments. just because it is out of fashion doesn't mean you can pull it off. It is a perfect neckwear to stand out among people with regular ties

[@RealMenRealStyle]

For sure - I did mention my friend Raphael Schneider of Gentleman's Gazette who wears it :)

[@pitiedvod]

I see them mostly worn in wedding parties in the UK. I had to wear one at my brother's wedding when I was best man. I see them more amongst artistic and celebrity types over in the UK and once a guy was wearing one at an event, but I don't think I ever seen them in the US and I been here for nearly 20 years.

[@yakovantonovich643]

Oh noes! Oh noes! right, some men in the fashion industry still wear them. And they are good for weddings, both the oldschool ascot and newer one (tucked in the shirt).

[@psilocybemusashi]

Antonio: does he really wear the? I never saw him in person. I have watched all of Raphael's videos and have never seen him wear one except in videos dedicated to the ascot/cravat. I sort of thought he only did those videos in order to sell his products.

[@phillipd.reddenjr.1329]

I bought all six of mine off of eBay for about five dollars also

[@Thomas-ei1yk]

I no longer wear condoms...they are banned from my wardrobe.

[@geonet3965]

it has been 7 months since you wrote that comment. So...how's the pregnancy going?

[@MonotoniTV]

@@geonet3965 she fell down the stairs.. Accidents happen sometimes

[@MarioJRRoach]

I used to wear one really comfortable, it had blue and yellow stripes pattern.

[@thecrazeecow1682]

Because you probably won't need them

[@samuelmatheis]

well, for me business condoms r ok, but i have no use for casual condoms

[@tomnook4048]

Wear a Boater Hat they are amazing!

[@rebelrouzer3799]

To old to wear with modern clouths but when I wear clouthes looking around that time I will but it also is hard to find a size that fits your head because everyone had smaller sizes back then.

[@pitbullruss5636]

I wear a boater and a bowler , love it

[@johansmets71]

I have worn and continue to wear ascots. It adds that touch of 'Sprezzaturra' to any suit/outfit. I generally wear ties when I don't want to wear an ascot. Ties and ascots are the hallmark of a well dressed gentleman. I have bespoke suits, all of them have suspender buttons and I wear suspenders. The trousers sit better, are more comfortable over a long period. By the way, the akubra fits you right but Akubra also make fedoras, excellent for that finishing touch to an outfit. The Akubra is very sturdy, keeps the sun off your face ( lessening the effects of the sun on your skin thereby slowing the ageing process. And as for the drivers, I keep a set in my car and wear them when I drive, change into them when I fly. The are very comfortable on the feet. And I have 200 pairs of shoes!

[@richardplotzker6591]

I assume the suspenders and black oxfords return for those black tie charitable events. And a kippa at a Bar Mitzvah, either suede or satin in the specified color provided by the family. Sometimes accessories are mandated. I usually wear my own kippah, crocheted with a design, even when the Bar Mitzvah family provides them.

[@jeffhreid]

The cravat is a great look. It’s casual and comfortable. It looks great as well and adds a splash of style

[@ac12cello]

Did your vision improve after you stopped wearing glasses or was your prescription just very low in the first place?

[@odinlindeberg4624]

I would be practically blind without glasses or contacts, these eyes are made for painting 1/72 scale model figures.

[@Janon48]

When I’m old I’m definitely gonna rock an ascot. I think it’d be way easier to pull off

[@faridmahnad4985]

Thanks, Antonio!! and yes that shirt does make the screen look weird. also,, hat does work on you.

[@W4lkerBl4ck]

Did he say 50 pairs of shoes???

[@psilocybemusashi]

half as many as my wife.

[@elora2525]

He should have like 100+he gets many free ones. I have 40+ dress shoes, and I buy them all.

[@bearieroblox6451]

yea and they are $300 on average

[@istp1967]

The dude's a Centipede 😁

[@krollic]

I like Raphs and your channel the most. Most of the other mainstream ones are constantly forcing sponsored stuff down my throat without even trying to not make it obvious.

[@MiniPaintAdventurer]

There’s a hat out there for every man. In this hot weather, you might like a Panama hat that has a moderate brim. It’s hard to see how tall you are but I’d say you could snap it up in the back at least.

[@ohauss]

I wore Ascots quite a bit after having skin surgery on my neck. Looked stylish and at the same time protected the fresh scars against abrasion. Similarly, started wearing hats when I had surgery on the top of my head and needed to protect it against sunlight, dirt etc. If I have more opportunities to go out again, I'll probably wear them again.

[@SS-mm5md]

I do wear often in the winter a bandana around my neck tucked into my shirt; it keeps my neck warm like a scarf. It works very well to cover the open neck space.

[@odinlindeberg4624]

I simply wrap a long wool scarf around my neck instead. I put the center to my throat, pull each end around my neck and tuck them under my lapel, making my neck look rather stocky to fit with my big wool coat and protecting it from the cold.

[@EdwardTMadrigal]

I love wearing a beret. It garners so many compliments, and it’s a different feel from the usual hats that I wear. 😎

[@tarekrashid5580]

Love my suits...can't live without my ties. I'm actually contemplating trying the ascot. Bow ties and suspenders are a bit over the edge for me.

[@barbarapastori4038]

It's nice to know that men still love wearing suits and not just because they have to. Ascots are really elegant, sadly not many men like them. I believe the golden age of clothing was the 19th century, at least for men, so the ascot is something that looks great even now

[@DismalShadow]

Honestly, I've always liked and have been curious about ascots but have never tried wearing them before. Think I'm going to give it a shot one of these days.

[@manny22111]

I put on too much weight to fit into most of my clothes but I must say when you put on your hat you reminded me of Billy Jack

[@jonathanpresson777]

Hey Antonio, I like the Akubra, but I'm not sure it's perfect for your face shape. A crown that high is incredibly difficult to pull off with a flat brim. I suggest a shorter crown or a western upturn like a stockman or teardrop. The bash is nice, but the height stretches your face. You'd also look quite good in a flat crown like Akubra's Plainsman or Squatter. If you want to wear that Akubra, let it sit at a slight angle, as it will "break away" allowing your face to be framed rather than stretched. Love your videos. They've been a huge help to me as I have begun moving in more business class circles.

[@jacobsummers3441]

I was just thinking of dropping the wear of black dress shoes as well because I mostly enjoy brown.

[@karmjotsingh148]

U r so honest and entertaining at the same time

[@rebelrouzer3799]

Try buying old stock hats like the classic fedora hat or maybe maybe a heaver fedora trench coat hat so you can wear something like that when it’s raining or maybe buy a summer hat made out of straw or like material. Something I leaned is you shouldn’t wear wider brim hats with a suit maybe a short sleeve dress shirt with jeans, short dress paints, or maybe dockers. Smaller brim hats go with more dress ware and events. So give it a try and see how you like it.

[@PauloYgor1]

I use suspenders almost every day. I only have three (black, brown, navy blue) and now I find them better than a belt.

[@pessolanostudios]

Yeah I agree with pulling off loud shirts.

[@odinlindeberg4624]

I'm kinda considering getting a kilt. Not a party kilt, mind, but a proper kilt made from wool, because Norwegian weather doesn't appreciate much else.

[@neilmoomey]

I'm not a huge fan of that hat on you with a sport coat. But a herringbone tweed ivy cap would work

[@krollic]

Like you, Antonio I have a big emphasis on function and simplicity in my wardrobe. While I can certainly appreciate boutonnieres/neckties and do occasionally wear them, they definitely are on the back burner for me due to a lack of function and the potential of over-complicating an outfit. The one item I wear a lot on your list and that I'm surprised you aren't a big fan of is suspenders, In particular button braces. I wear these all the time with dress pants and think they are the perfect combination of function and understated style. If you wear a jacket/sportcoat a lot like I know you do, they are barely ever seen; only really when you sit down with the jacket unbuttoned. Braces have many advantages over belts; They keep your pants at the optimal rise throughout the day where it's most comfortable. They don't pinch your midsection (especially when you sit down). They make you look taller visually by elongating your figure and don't visually cut your silhouette in half like a belt would (especially with a suit). This is particularly useful if you're of a shorter/average height like I am. They press close against your body making your dress shirt look more fitted and elegant (especially on the back). I also believe that the light pressure they put upon your shoulders helps you maintain an upright and ideal posture throughout the day. I like to wear them on the inside of my pants with no belt-loops as I think this offers the cleanest lines and like with any accessory I try to match it to the rest of my outfit i.e have the button tab leather match my shoes, have the elastic strap go with my fabrics and match the metal hardware to my watch or cufflinks etc. imgur.com/a/NzvX32k While I think Brock would benefit from slightly slimmer braces to match his lean figure and a higher rise of pants, I think this is a really good example of how to do suspenders well and showcases the benefits of them. Thanks for the video and I hope you'll consider trying them out again! -max

[@SoXFireBlade]

Always wondered why you didn't neckties but i see your point. I think this is a a great video

[@toddjackson3136]

I love a good Fedora, but really don't find much occasion to wear one. I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where wide brim hats are still worn often. And when it's hot and sunny outside a hat that keeps the Sun and heat off of the back of your neck is extremely valuable.

[@VintageBlacklist]

Hats are hard.. flat cap or fedora have been my go to, but they are still difficult to pair with. Petite coats complement both but when indoors and the coat comes off, I've found it useful to follow military tradition and not wear a cover in doors. A fedora with a suit can be done, but I feel like you're following Sinatra at that point, and that's taking it to the next level of class.

[@johnbartel5229]

Hi Antonio, I'm a "hat guy" and have been for a long time (years). I wear the fedora, straw in summer and fur (rabbit and beaver) in fall and winter, and you need to try many different hats that fit your face as well as outfit. I wear suits so the more formal hat works for me. The hat is a very personal piece of clothing and incorporating it takes some getting used to as you will probably be the only guy wearing one. I taught myself to like it and now it is just part of me, my style and personality. Hve fun with your journey to find the right style of hat for yourself as you join those of us who adhere to the more classic style of dressing. I enjoy your videos, best of luck to you. John, Sacramento, CA.

[@davidpeterson5930]

I love suspenders! I rarely wear it because I don’t know how to concealed carry with it.

[@sjmccafferey4437]

I have a high profile job. So, I do wear a suit and tie daily except on Fridays. I rotate the color of my shoes corresponding to the suit that i am wearing.

[@user-ed5jh3ff6u]

Nice, definitely enjoy watching without a sales pitch. Thanks

[@istp1967]

Akubras look good with either jeans or khakis and chukka or hiker boots; and a polo or collared shirt. Summer when jts hot; and winter to keep the snow off ... Use scotchgard on it to protect it, it won't stain.

[@BobTheHatKing]

Antonio, I own over 125 hats of all sorts and I can tell you that Akubra looks amazing on you sends a very bold statement, especially with a sports jacket/suit of that color you're wearing in the video, or with a dark/navy blue one. however, it isn't really a summer hat to me; for summer maybe a Panama or other straw hat would be better

[@rcsirish48]

Agree with most items. I like ties and wear them as much as I can. They add to your look and with a suit or sportcoat give a leg up on all the guys not wearing them. I also am wearing hats. Straw for summer and flat caps, medium brim felt and beanies for winter. the first two when it fits my outfits and the latter when it darn cold/windy!

[@staaswolter641]

Self tie bowties are very rare. I love them.

[@williambarabanitz3858]

Brooks Brothers popover shirt with an ascot under a blazer is classic summer dress. Throw a blazer over a polo and appear juvenile. Try it Antonio - you won't go back.

[@rbrown9659]

1. The Australian drovers hat looks great. Not maybe for your videos, but for getting out and about. 2. If I'm going to wear a jacket, I'm going to wear a tie. (Family swear I was born wearing a shirt and tie.) 3. I like black shoes and I wear them. Almost all the time. I also have oxblood and brown and I like them. 4. Cravat. I've had a few and have enjoyed wearing them. There are a few thoughts; I realize my style is a bit different from yours, but the world is big enough for both of us.

[@s.a.j.7116]

I thought this would be a video hating on certain clothes, but I’m glad that you’re accepting of the clothing and just realize it’s something that doesn’t quite work with you. Great content by the way.

[@05Rudey]

I agree with all points, I own all the items listed, some of the items I paid a lot of money for, like a tailored suit and dress shoes, just never wear them. Despite my profile pic, I hardly ever wear suits too, 99% of the time, I wear Jeans, Brown Casual brogue Shoes/Boots, Shirt (Without a tie) and a Blazer/Sports jacket. I believe it looks just as smart without feeling stuffy or over dressed. I have a silk Ascot, that I wore once at the Royal Ascot Racecourse, along with a Top Hat, It wasn't so bad or embarrassing as I thought as everyone else were dressed the same. The closest thing I have ever wore as an Ascot as a choice was a wool scarf fashioned in a similar way as Daniel Craig in Skyfall during the winter. As for Hats, I have quite the collection including the before mentioned Top Hat, Bowler, Dear Stalker, Indiana Jones style Fedora, but I only wear 2 types if at all. A Wool Beanie and a Lock & Co Tweed Flat Cap that I inherited from my Grandfather.

[@05Rudey]

I'd never wear a Ascot or Cravat. But a small wool scarf that I have cut down to a smaller size and tucked under a Shirt or Henley during the winter done in a style of a Cravat like Daniel Craig in Skyfall is something I have worn about 3 times.

[@michaelyucon588]

I'm currently in Moldova, crossing over my wardrobe across the world was less tricky than I thought. Still dress with a classic style but have to say will never get use to slim cut jeans they will remain as an item that collects dust in my closet.

[@timcogswell8920]

Braces are a must-have for me as I'm a little light in the hip department (or if I lose a few pounds, my trousers fall down). Though I love to wear hats (winter: fedora, bowler, homburg; summer: Panama, boater), I live in the same state as you do, so I tend to get a few odd looks when I do. However, the best looks happen when I put on the kilt! No matter, I wear what I like and it works for me.

[@lars7342]

I am new to RMRS and not sure if youve ever covered this topic. Proper ordering and etiquette of classic beverages. Maybe a little history and do's and donts. A pet peeve of mine ( wrong ordering, wrong making, wrong way of drinking and holding a glass, etc) along with pants hemmed too high.

[@spikerooney7458]

Dress sneakers, ew!

[@latetotheparty7551]

I have to agree. In my humble opinion, they try to fill a very small subsection of a niche yet do so poorly. In short, there's not much you can do to dress up sneakers in of themselves. You're better off having the rest of your outfit be dressier.

[@tomswiss7128]

I agree. In my opinion, sneakers are just casual. Dresss sneakers... don't make that much sense. :)

[@williamvasiladiotis2903]

Agreed. Sneakers are for walking/running around, not for dress wear

[@austinkim9402]

It's not rlly meant to be worn with actual formal clothing but like with chinos and shorts. Cleaner than running shoes and more casual than loafers.

[@omachuca]

I love dress sneakers with a nice pair of shorts and monochromatic T-shirt.

[@RoryPattonDreamerOfDunsidhe]

I rarely leave the house without a hat. I'm not sure how many I have. My favourite is my brown Derby which is a great casual hat. I wear Fedoras quite a lot, and Top Hats in ways you won't see in the Gentleman's Gazette. I think every man should have a Fedora as it's the easiest to wear and almost impossible to get wrong.

[@victor_gradinaru]

6:11 - Nice picture of a book about Bucharest.

[@tanaypandey1771]

I really LOVE the articles of this channel , when I don't have time to watch an entire vid , they are a life saver . I can also keep track easily of the most important ones. Thankyou sir for the same :D

[@pastoraj]

I would love to wear suspenders more, but I just don't have the shoulders to keep them up. I also just don't wear shorts. I think they look silly on older men (I"m 66 now).

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I agree -- Add accents to make it clear that your look is a deliberate style rather than the only thing in your closet, you can stand out in the crowd without looking like you’re trying to disguise your age.

[@yobolion]

A mid Grey New York style trilby with a snap brim and wide bad works great with a trench coat in rain! Some men prefer it to an umbrella which can be a pain walking through a busy city! Bakers Boy caps in mid to Charcoal Grey or Dark Brown also are great!

[@mahadali619]

That akubra suits you amazingly

[@jpjp9111]

I'm starting to experiment with wearing bracelets, a necklace, and my Vincero watch. I'm also digging out some of my old watches to replace their batteries to add those to my experimental accessories.

[@fergusmallon1337]

Hats. My go-to hat is the Ivy league hat. I have a nice wide brim fedora from Woolrich on which I get lots of compliments but I always feel like I have a big hat on. I am trying to wear it more. I also bought a regular brim black fedora with a red feather but I feel kind of pretentious wearing it. I wish I didn't because I really like it.

[@ironcitadel]

Antonio: I live in San Antonio, TX and I wear a western (cowboy) hat quite frequently. It looks good with slacks and a sports jacket and is pretty practical with the Texas sunshine. I have a couple of felt hats in addition to the requisite white straw hat.

[@tonyngo8336]

I still wear the classic 1950 era beaver fedora... I love it very much. I think that a fedora is a timeless classic! I also went away with neckties a decade ago for safety reasons (my ties getting caught in rollers of a printer or in a laminating machine because I work in an office setting), but I felt naked around my neck, so I wear bow ties now. I don't wear suits as much as I did back in the 1980s, but I wear my suit about 10% of the time in a year because of a lot of formal functions I attend.

[@peterevans8194]

Antonio, Another interesting video and I can understand the rational behind these choices. Another possibly controversial subject I would like to see you cover is CCW ie pistol choice along with holster selection and how they should be worn.. Given your background in the USMC, I would hope this is not a subject you consider too controversial, and although perhaps more pertinent to American viewers, its something I am sure the rest of us would find interesting.

[@westfieldartworks8188]

5:52...ladies and gentlemen,.....the return of Billy Jack. lol....not a bad hat though. I feel with a good dark solid flannel or corduroy shirt it could work on you, Antonio.

[@jerrymathers11]

There are a lot of men's style and lifestyle ""gurus" out there. Most, to my eyes, seem to be a bit phony and pretentious in the way they conduct themselves. In fact, their personas seem to be heavy on affectation. You seem to be down to earth and rather normal. That's a compliment.

[@stattonjones8391]

I go to church 3 times a week and we wear suits for nearly every service. I’ve actually grown to enjoy wearing them to the point were I prefer wearing suits over casual clothes. At the same time since I get more uses out of them its more practical for me to spend little more money on my suits so they tend to be more comfortable than the average suit.

[@jeffstone7912]

two hats that I recommend. Stetson open road, stetson stratoliner.

[@RitchieRosson]

For me it’s going to be a hat or maybe a wig. My hair is thinning and thinning! Super video Antonio.

[@attilavarga1152]

When I lost weight (from 90 to 80, doesn't sound much, but the visual difference is huge), some of my favorite paints waists became too big for me, and the belts became too long. I don't wanted to made them fit again, so I decided to introduce suspenders. I bought a nice pair of navy, clipped ones, I used them for a while, then I upgraded to button-in ones. I actually replaced the clips with mustaches, and I also sewn the buttons up, one pair of a day. They are awesome. You don't have problems with your belt length, your pants still fit nice, even if their waist is too big. And they are ok with metal detectors. I have very long pair of trousers, I don't hem anymore, I just wear them with suspenders (the pants are higher than with a belt). Your pants are always up, unlike belts. Hidden bonus, they force me to walk with straight back, this improves my pose a lot. I wanted to introduce west, this worked very well also. They are very good if you need an other layer, and they look great and unique. The other thing, well suede shoes. They look so good, but they so delicate. I will give them also a try in the future.

[@perryhansen1822]

Yes Hats, with Glasses, put you on a whole new level. Great Videos 👍

[@peterespada6226]

More info on hats, please. I’d like to wear one, but I’m afraid that it would make me look shorter than I am.

[@gageabdul]

You probably can do dress sneakers. Just an all white pair though, so versatile

[@psilocybemusashi]

what?! dress sneakers are not white dude. if they are white they are not dress sneakers.

[@chadbentley4008]

I like wearing French cuff shirts more casually and as a tall guy I think its fun to wear suspenders without a waistcoat or jacket because it makes me appear even taller. I wish I had more hats though, thats the one thing I want more of the most, but at least my shoe collection is going good lol

[@chuckysith]

would like to try some double monk strap shoes

[@danfc3s]

Wear the Akubra... Maybe I'll buy one if I see it worn on someone that isn't wearing it in conjunction with a flannelette shirt...

[@Dante-fk3ku]

I have a vintage fedora but not wear because it is considered hipster. I do like suspenders I wear glasses as I need to and only own black footwear. Now you have me thinking. Oh ascot not worn since the 70’s lol

[@Churchofthefathers]

Hey Antonio in past videos you warned us not To separate suit items but wear them together so they don’t weather unevenly, but in this video you mentioned that you wear your suit jackets as sports coats without the matching pants, can you clarify? Ok thanks man, love your videos!!!

[@pedrocols]

The only item I differed wearing that you don't is the bracelets. Women at my job love them and always get compliments.

[@malapumpa1605]

I bought a flat cap, but can't make an outfit with it included... so it's just hanging around in the wardrobe. Great video Antonio :)

[@jonsmith3776]

You look like a classy version of curious George's owner with that aussie hat lol Great video as always!

[@hawkymchawkface5947]

I want to go into investment banking and suspenders are almost mandatory in that field haha

[@mantrapi1133]

Suspenders>Belt with a suit. It keeps the lines clean, while the belt breaks up the image. Also, it keeps the waist free, providing better movement. If you have a 3-piece suit, it isn't seen. Ascots are better on older men (50+, depending) because the open neck looks gross as men age.

[@69thPredator]

I want to wear more hats. Lord knows I need it in south Texas.

[@harelhouse8499]

dude, I've been watching your videos for a long time now and I just want to say that you're awesome! I'm from a great country in the Middle East and it's usually very hot here but still I prefer dressing like a proper gentleman and your videos really help me understand the Codes ‏keep e m coming! PS the hat is a little too big (;

[@sptownsend999]

@RealMenRealStyle Antonio, I highly recommend a fedora as a good everyday hat. My first quality hat was an Akubra, as well, and I got it from the David Morgan shop (yes, the man who made the whips for the Indiana Jones movies) up in Bothell, Washington. It was a brown Adventurer, similar to the Herbert Johnson fedoras from the Indy movies. After years of trying on other hats and collecting other hats, I have come to the conclusion that a hat with a non-tapered crown and a medium brim width can make a man look taller and slimmer. And we all know ALT: Always Look Taller. There's a fellow in Sweden who makes hats in the 1930's style, which I believe can still be pulled off today. His website is currently down, so he has a page set up on Etsy. The shop name is Hufvud. Good luck!!

[@guylewis7418]

Spencer Townsend, I bought the black Adventurer, so as to avoid being called Dr. Jones. I wore it with a black Carhart coat, and I was told I looked like the bad guy from the first movie! Anyway, that was the only time anyone said anything negative about it! The Adventurer is a great hat. I think David Morgan has outstanding service too.

[@jgood005]

I think this video is good just to show how one's style evolves over time. Personally I just pick an item, research the hell out of it, try a bunch of different brands, and decide if it works for me. High quality, over-the-calf dress socks are my current project. After that, I'll improve my shoes (I'll be able to buy the proper fit once I get the socks nailed down) and pants that are hemmed properly since I won't have to worry about exposed ankles. But it takes time to try different brands/items and break them in, like you did with bracelets.

bro the very first thing you should do to improve your style is get decent shoes. I recommend allen edmonds factory seconds. good shoes make any outfit look better. shitty shoes make any outfit look like shit. socks are hardly noticeable but important if you want to be put together.

I'm thinking of pulling off ascots or dress hats. I love the hat, however maybe a wider head size and shorter top part? It depends on how you like to wear hats. Some people like hats just the top of their head not to mess with their hair, and some people prefer a size bigger covering their forehead just depends up to you :D

Would like to see more videos on how to wear sports jackets with jeans and what you'd pair them with.

[@tomswiss7128]

I agree with you on the point of dress sneakers. I want to add my own: jeans. I'd really like to wear them, but I'm not able. When I wear them... I just don't feel right. That's a shame but man, it's hard for me. Nice video, very interesting and particular :)

[@MuhammadUsman-xn7vp]

Completely agree with you mate.

That hat looks great but I think if it was a bit smaller it would be perfect. I don't have that much knowledge about hat but just my own opinion 😜

[@IamPhantom-mv6gl]

Awesome video, Antonio! I would love to see you try to work a Panama hat into one of your videos.

The Australian hat is for the outback, not for city. I have four hats; two are for winter and the other two are for late Fall or Spring. The winter hats are: one is a Trilby (for the city) and the other is a Stockton (for the countryside). Both are felt wool. The other hats are for colder and wetter weather; a Panniza (rabbit), and this is mostly for the city and in wet weather. The other one is a Stetson Fedora, for wet weather and travel. Your look would be a Trilby or a low-kiosk Fedora.

I’m looking forward to when you start giving advice about men’s glasses. I would also love advice on men’s hats. And I think the hat looked great on you.

[@HARLEMHEFNER]

I love the ascot I wore one last week to a party they loved it. It's not for everybody it has to suit your style.

[@franciscogomez6279]

You should do a video on hats! For every day, different weather or seasons!

[@faceachenz8441]

Cheesecutter hats. They're very distinctive, but make me look like i'm a million years old! I find that the Paperboy hat has a much better vibe. Yeah, they're a bit "Peaky Blinders", but unusual and still cool.

Plz can you make a video about should we shave our eyebrows or not ?
