Brown pea coat is such a smart call, thanks man

[@hespokestyle]

You got it!

[@YouKnowMySteez]

I’m happy you talked about robes, dressing gowns (yours is incredible), smoking jackets and slippers! You’re keeping the content fresh for us. Production and presentation are both getting better and better as well. Bravo, as always.

[@justcaused6182]

For some reason I really enjoyed this video. Longer than usual, laid-back and honest recommendations. Good job Brian!

[@hespokestyle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

I really appreciate the extra effort for going above and beyond the usual winter wardrobe video. Well done.

[@TT-nh2od]

Your wardroom is insane. Cleanest dude on KZbin!

[@hespokestyle]

Too kind. Thanks for the comment and support.

[@SartorialStyles]

Phenomenal tips as always, Brian! My recommendation for rather reasonably priced dressing gowns is the German-based brand Baturina Homewear. They produce handmade dressing gowns and smoking jackets, made in Hamburg of phenomenal fabrics. Both ready to wear and made to measure options are available for less than 500 Euros.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the recommendations, Benjamin!

[@blackwood3243]

I love the bold dressing gowns New & Lingwood have, but I personally think they are to fancy for wearing in an average persons house (like myself), it is more fit in the environment of a luxurious home.

[@trevorsebastian1341]

The smoking jacket looks so awesome. So epic.

[@hespokestyle]

We've got one with your name on it! Thanks for the comment, Trevor.

[@legacygentlemen]

I loved the houndstooth overcoat, I will be on the lookout to get one. Great statement piece. Nice work.

[@Darruus]

Great suggestions as usual. I don’t have a flannel suit but I did just pick up a couple pairs of flannel trousers this winter. I’m having fun trying them out in a variety of outfits, from dressed up to more casual.

[@hespokestyle]

Awesome!

[@kayradebruyn1479]

Great video Brain! Love how in-depth you went with each essential, especially love the woven gloves.

[@hespokestyle]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment.

[@Lordrixson5489]

I particularly love the look of the velvet smoking jacket and the Black Watch plaid slippers!👌🏼

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks!

[@danielduggan5405]

Happy New Year! Great list, Brian. The big one I'm saving up for is No. 1, but all of these would be great! Thanks, as always.

[@ejm6122]

Awesome list, Brian! Man, I'm with ya on the Bean Boots. A staple for me as well. Such a reliable classic.

[@hespokestyle]

So good!

Amazing Styles in this Video!

[@Jerel_con_jota]

The beard is giving what it’s supposed to be giving!👍🏾

[@ConstanTime]

Excellent choices, pricey but excellent!

[@r.vazquez7880]

Excellent video Brian. I never even considered a dressing gown. Saw it in the movies but thought it went out of style years ago. Thanks for sharing.

[@hespokestyle]

Dressing gowns are NEVER out of style! Thanks for the comment.

[@BoStark]

Will really try to spend less on clothes next year, but a peacoat might be on the list.

[@gregthomas3137]

Very solid list! I need to get some really nice slippers. Just ordered a few silk scarves

[@hespokestyle]

Sweet! Many thanks. Our scarves?

[@noname235]

God bless you, even tho you retired from doing this. God bless you, I can educate myself more about this!

[@gregorius2754]

You look like a stud with the beard.Kudos!

[@jamilwehbe6945]

We miss you Brian, always amazing

[@hespokestyle]

I appreciate that!

[@clap7777]

Wow! #5 Dinner Jacket looks awesome with what you've shown. James Bond, look out! And the #10 Overcoat hounds tooth pattern is interesting. I like a grey with a subtle window pane pattern myself, and yet to purchase one. Nice vid.

[@hespokestyle]

Many thanks, Christopher!

[@q-storm767]

In the last three months I have purchased more vests and v-neck sweaters in different colors. It's winter time and I love wearing v-neck sweaters and vests with a shirt and tie at work. OH!! I love your beard. 👍🏾👍🏾😊😊

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks so much! Appreciate the comment.

[@Tailyn222]

Great selections. Happy New Year

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, Johnra. Same to you!

[@TxmmyBeats]

Would be awesome to see a video on how you clean your luxury fabric like cashmere and wool

[@ElijahsThrone]

I just watched Casino a couple days ago! So incredible to learn Robert De Niro was actually wearing a dressing gown

[@scentmystyle]

Omg that Houndstooth Balmacaan Coat!😍🔥

[@AstepAbove21]

Very good tips. Well done sir.

[@helpfulcommenter]

I need more Bags In Trees content on this channel, give the fans what they want!

[@hespokestyle]

LOL

[@EmperorOfSomething]

Great essentials! Some of the options reminded me that I need to hang around people who can invite me to more "classy" events. 😆😆

[@hespokestyle]

Haha. Thanks for the comment!

[@brandonbandstra226]

best channel on KZbin. Cheers B. You inspire

[@RIDDLE0MASTER]

Brain, I'm a huge fan of your channel! I like your style and it serves an inspiration for developing mine . That said, with all the shirts, sweaters and jackets, I find you look best in a simple black turetleneck sweater (and Cartier americaine) that you wear for the Q&A with Robin. Any chance for a Black Monochrome video? It has been many years since I switched to all black, and found that not every item looks good in that color, and layering is practically impossible (it all looks like one shapeless blob). Cheers!

[@sandzmd]

Yay

[@sandzmd]

Im first! Yehey!😊

[@hespokestyle]

Nice.

[@hespokestyle]

The master.

[@davegilbertson]

I went from modestly looking to upgrade a basic capsule essential wardrobe to nodding along to statement house shoes *stroking my beard* "yes, yes...this will do."

[@johnchampion6926]

Great video as always. Would love to see your opinion on Spier & Mackay's jackets, shirts etc. Might be something worth looking into

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, John. Have wanted to check out Spier & Mackay for a while,

[@amitvincent1208]

Hey Brian.. Few of the best advices I took from here! Can you suggest what to wear when visiting people at their home tbh avoid disrespecting by being over dressed.

[@Krunkscooters]

I got a nice balmacaan from banana Republic after this vid and god damn I never realized how good overcoats could look.

[@EduardoBach01]

The number one for me is a lambswool cardigan under a polo coat; you can go the whole winter with those. I liked the tip on the flannel suit, indeed very useful ;) as for the dressing gown, I'd skip it because if your apartment doesn't have a touch of sophistication, chances are that this piece will add an unrealistic wealth status

[@Mithrahin]

Loved the video...and the beard! :) Keep up the good work!

[@brandonbandstra226]

That smoking jacket is beautiful

[@andrew1212w]

Your best video nice and simple 👍

[@hespokestyle]

Glad you liked it

[@nickkent7164]

Loving the beard Brian. Suits you Sir!

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, Nick!

The featured black gloves are made in Gloversville - ah, that pesky 'r' always gets in the way!

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks! And IDK?!

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Brian. Like the beard. 👍🏻

great video! Can you do one with denim jackets?

[@kirkm4079]

@2:55 I thought I was watching Gentleman's Gazette for a sec, lol

[@LoveGixx]

.. ive got a great turtle neck cashmere sweater from Banana Republic in their 20% off section.. originally $150.. i paid $80..

[@dbezer13]

Love the content! What are your thoughts on cardigans? Can you do a styling video if you are a fan of them?

[@hespokestyle]

Great idea!!

[@jaykeenan6884]

Can you do a video on how to style light blue jeans in formal settings?

[@Lassehansen3]

Great video Brian 👍 and really nice video quality! Had any updates? Some how it just seems crisper.

[@hespokestyle]

Hey, Lasse! We're shooting with a new lens on for the a-roll (Sigma 18-35 at f/1.8--amzn.to/3faNMlg). And using a larger light source. That could be it!

[@nukie404]

#3 was never needed in Korea because we have warm floors (ondol) and thus rooms. Also that brown pea coat looks more dapper everytime I see it! - Han

[@hespokestyle]

Nice! Thanks, as always, Han.

[@EmPeral562]

Brian, you’re rocking that facial hair. It looks great on you

[@hespokestyle]

Oh thank you!

[@natedalol]

I've found the Macy's Club Room or NAADAM brands to also be very affordable cashmere!

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for dropping the recommendations, Nathan!

[@jandevery]

Another brand that has affordable cashmere is Daniel Cremieux found in Dillard’s. I have several of his cashmere v-neck sweaters… very nice!

[@blackwood3243]

Great video as usual. I want to recommend adding more detail for items listed on the website. Knowing stuff like whether the buttons/button holes are hands sewn or not would be nice. Will more knitwear be coming to the site?

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@user-vo9vz5hn4v]

you should do another q&a video

[@pranavgautam96]

The lockdown beard? Looks nice!

[@osmanltorunlar8739]

Keep.your beard man. That gives you class and a nice aura . My 2 cents.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

@@Lasciatemi_Guidare Yes sir!

[@YoniBonzi]

A good, "neutral" sweater such as the grey one you are wearing in the vid is such a necessary addition. I find that it elevates my more casual outfits and allows for great versatility with lots of different shirts and outfits. The turtleneck, on the other hand - that's an item I learned how to wear through your videos and it's one of my favorites. Both are a must IMHO. As for the dinner jacket - do you find occasions to wear it? It looks VERY formal, almost to a point I can't see myself using one in any event I've ever been to. Cheers

[@hespokestyle]

Hey, Yoni! I wear the dinner jacket mostly during the holiday season. It's great for nice dinners out (or in...)

[@dennisfrazier3405]

Great video! I see you have grown a beard. 👍🏽

[@mikewellington2738]

So Brian, it’s ok to wear suit pants and jacket separately? I was taught it was a faux pas to do that, but maybe that was just an old dog teaching me. Thanks!

[@hespokestyle]

Yes, but not all fabrics will work. Flannel, cotton, and tweed are the easiest.

[@mikewellington2738]

@@hespokestyle thanks!

[@osmanltorunlar8739]

In mild climates with no winter, the wardrobe focuses heavily on suits and blazers. They can be worn even in hot weather. You can have style, variety, and you can layer.

[@tombroch6560]

Brian unironically looks better with Grey hair then without it

[@nicolasvallejo7323]

What brand is that jacket closest to you on the rack ???

[@paulrennie6112]

As a Scot, unfortunately the Hunter boot is an essential 😩 😂

Liked your videos. It was informative and taught good lessons. It was one of your most educational videos and happy that is was not sponsored by any products. Thanks!

[@hespokestyle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ryancooke4028]

Sponsored videos are not inherently bad, especially if the content creator is selective and believes in the product. It’s pretty obvious when it’s the opposite case.

[@davelemberg5602]

Are the links to buy the products for the actual products shown in the video?

[@hespokestyle]

Mostly. Some of the items shown are old and not available anymore. If that's the case, I've linked to an item that is as similar as possible.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Hey Brian off topic style question: Would you happen to know where I can get a Midnight blue Velvet dinner jacket with shawl lapels? Kingsman style? I've been trying to find one but no luck, thank you in advance!

[@hespokestyle]

Certainly! We can make anything you are looking for even if you don't see it in the shop. I would recommend booking a FREE virtual appointment to see what we can do for you: www.michaelandrews.com/booking?location=HSS

[@seansimmons73]

The dress robe was a real eye opener for me, thanks. No offense, while I'm open to a red velvet suit, the one you showed with the rope clasp makes you look like you work at a circus. I think that when you going for something dramatic like velvet than simpler is better

[@joehebert789]

This was an excellent video with a great presentation. Even though most of the specific items were a miss for me, I still enjoyed it. That said, the item that most got my attention was that first pair of gloves. They were amazing. Unfortunately, living in the Houston area means they aren't a need component of getting out the door. Thanks for the high quality of your content.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, Joe! Appreciate the thoughtful comment and support.

[@faridmahnad4985]

I appreciate the detail(and the new setup) but. . . What happened to the upper lip glory?! Also, what do you think of a double-breasted mid grey flannel suit. And kinda none related, do you know how much Mohair costs as opposed to pure wool? Thanks!!

Keep the beard. It looks awesome

[@davidhelvering]

Can someone who owns a cat also own a cashmere sweater, or really any fine knitwear? That’s one of my biggest struggles with owning nice clothes. It gets ruined too easily. I try to remember to only wear it when I go out, but inevitably I come home with it on, forget to take it off immediately, pick up a cat, and get a snag. It’s frustrating. I’d give up the cats were it my choice, but I’m married, so….

So what about the not rich guy who does not have a big budget but wants to look good. It seems most your stuff is on the higher end. What about the guy who lives in the midwest with poor quality stores anymore. Like Peoria IL, we have lost the better brick and mortar stores that you could buy classic styles on sales. No Macy;s or anything like that here anymore.

I'm 40 years old, I work in an important company in a high position, but even so (my point is, I'm not an artist or anything) your selection seems a bit cheesy to me. There are some nice details, but overall, it would seem like you're dressing Bruce Wayne or a movie banker rather than a man in the 2020s.
