I have followed Antonio for years on the channel. Where is started for me to learn how to dress professionally and be taken serious as a young physician actually propelled me to learn about the theme of investing in myself, in education and skills to learn to be a high valued professional and man. It has helped me advance my career further than I could have imagined and quicker than almost all peers. Thanks Antonio!

[@luizde-rossi643]

Excellent job, Antonio! This is the type of content that makes RMRS THE channel. And YES, we want a part 2. You could even make it a short series. 🤓 Bravo, as usual...👏🏽

[@poggingmilk9452]

Would love to see a video about 10 brands who sell cheap but high quality and good looking clothes

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Great suggestion!

[@rjb8454]

In Australia, RM Williams is seen as a heritage brand. Originally they produced boots for workers that needed durable footwear - now they’re the boot of choice for every Sydney corporate lawyer, director, trader etc.

[@fengmin8]

Don't forget the consultants, accountants and private school kids

[@b.johnathanwarriorinagarde7980]

I love them, I have five pairs. Not a big wig, I'm a Tennessee man who enjoys fine boots.

[@rjb8454]

@@b.johnathanwarriorinagarde7980 That’s awesome!

[@richardcostello360]

RM williams has gone down in QC dramatically in the last 10 years.......the real "class boots" are Baxter of Goulburn (which you can get custom fitting 😉)

[@exsperginatus837]

Love the breakdown of the brand's history. My only hesitation is that some if these brands (Hermes, Burberry, etc.) have very prominent logos or garish brand printing, which goes against old money fashion (understated).

[@RPanda3S]

Yeah, I expected Antonio to mention that the higher quality (and more expensive) selections from these brands do not carry the logo so prominently. But I'm not sure if that's true, and would like to hear about it from the man himself. "Old money" isn't really a style that I'm invested in, but that's what I've heard. Would appreciate anyone who can confirm or deny my understanding.

[@thegentlemanplayer9689]

Burberry plaid is ignored over here, it was destroyed by market stalls selling everything in it. We wouldn't entertain it now. Predominantly far east and americans buying it. If you had ever had the joy of going to Hermes and the attitude of the sales assistance unless known to them, move on. All these brands have overpriced logo junk and very expensive classics. Zegna suit and blazer, gorgeous fabrics, and timeless classics. But you need to understand the various sub brands under the overall business. Much like RL with polo, purple etc. The Polo horse is as tacky as any logo, which honestly leaves RL really only supplying Purple label.

[@besnyj]

Yes that over logo stuff really sucks but I've heard that many of these brands will have stuff of even better quality but without the logo for those like us looking for it and willing to pay the slightly higher price

[@richardcostello360]

It's the same as RM Williams.......the cheap end are labelled on the pull tabs and soles.....the high quality boots have not got ANY overt labels (you have you customer file number written on the inside tongue)

[@Legionnaire7777]

Vintage Burberrys are excellent and all made in England especially the rain macs from the 1980s 👌🏻

[@Nobeone]

Yes please, make a part two. Also, make a video on the unwritten rules of old money. The color of your carnation is a good example but there are many more.

I vote for part 2. That was an enjoyable video.

[@kletts42]

Saville Row and Jermyn Street. Both are amazing. I have been to both. The oldest perfumers in London are in Jermyn Street. When I walked through those streets, I wish I dressed up better because I would have felt better going into some of the stores.

[@jakecavendish3470]

And of course the great Viennese tailors Bumbërschaumer und Gerstaflëßermeier who make suits that are so exclusive they are known only to 5 clients, two of whom own the company.

[@JJ-nq3ll]

Don't be generic, be unique! Stand out, but also be conservative in your own self presentation. Will go a long way moving forward. Great video. 👍👍

[@wileyallen1545]

We Gen Xers have a soft spot for Polo. It was THE uniform for us in our teen years in the 80s. I worked for weeks to save up for a Polo oxford dress shirt. Now I still buy Polo especially when I see a sale, seasonal clearance or get to an outlet store. Not quite the same quality as the vintage pieces I have but some of it is still better than the flimsiness of other "high end" brands. A few years ago I was at an upscale thrift in Vancouver. I was wearing the green Polo Golf ball hat that came with the cologne back in the 90s. A young Asian man came up and asked if I would sell it to him. I politely declined because it was a sentimental gift. I have a piece or two from some of the other brands mentioned but my heart is always with Polo.

[@NaNa-wj8tw]

Detest Polo's. They are a low rent awful item that are great for a million different job uniforms but that's where they should stay. Time to rethink and move on from a pizza shop uniform chap come on.

[@wileyallen1545]

@@NaNa-wj8tw I meant the Polo Ralph Lauren brand, not the tennis/golf shirt.

[@sheanliesirani7551]

One thing that i don't like about Ralph Lauren is the logo in front of the shirts.

[@itsbeyondme5560]

Yes

[@kraya6740]

Makes it look pretty cheap... would never put that brand on a list like this...

[@adamcohen2632]

If there is a part 2, you should probably add Aquascutum to that list. They began on Regent St. since the 1850s and have outfitted Royalty, politicos and the best dressed English celebrities such as Michael Caine since their inception. While Burberry caught the public's attention, and has benefitted tremendously from their superior marketing campaigns, Aquascutum outfitted the English Army with trench coats in WWI and WWII and their waterproof wool fabric (their invention) was used in their coats for officers in the Crimean War. Their quality is their hallmark more than their fashion status is. When Edmund Hillary first scaled Mt. Everest he did so having been outfitted by Aquascutum. They also have their own unique club check pattern that is a great scarf alterntative to all those ubiquitous Burberry ones both real and fake. I have a vintage lambswool overcoat of theirs that might just be my very favorite article of clothing that I have ever owned. It has held up incredibly well despite being my main winter coat for many years now.

[@jonaskalen1759]

Turnbull & Asser,Edward Green, Anderson & Sheppard,Huntsman,Crockett & Jones,Drake’s are well worth to check out. Cifonelli,Zegna,E.Marinella,Brunello Cucinelli,Cesare Attolini.

Curious about winter jackets: Herno, Moncler, Canada Goose, etc. Would love to see a video comparing and going into the history of these parka brands. Especially the less known brands like Herno.

[@adamperkins3125]

Private White VC is another company that I would add for outerwear, the quality from them is outstanding.

[@casualarrogance]

Brunello Cucinelli, Canali, Brioni, Fratelli Rossetti, Andre’ Maurice.

[@mudson7380]

If you're looking to add a south american / latin flair to your outfits, Cuervo y Sobrinos makes some gorgeous watches.

[@danielstipetic2070]

A fun fact on the Burberry trench coat. Back in WW1 they were worn mostly by officers and other higher military personell and if they got shot folks would risk their head and run out into no mans land to get the coat off them. That’s how good they were back then. Mostly due to the conditions in the trenches and they were waterproof and durable.

[@Bangpaulxu]

Lucky to have the “holy trinity” of watches with a VC, PP and AP. Love watchessssss. Great video Antonio

[@awalton9024]

RIP Brooks Brothers. The quality had been falling precipitously for years and in 2020 it was acquired by the ironically named Authentic Brands Group. B squared, as it was affectionately known is now for all practical purposes, a purveyor of fast fashion.

[@necromaya]

I love that you gave shoutouts to the Savile Row boys, their work is superb. I have a black wool topcoat made by Logsdail, and it's stupendous. Also, thanks for mentioning the Equestrian brands, Burberry, Hermes, Gucci, etc, and the often overlooked, Penhaligon brand. Their scents are second to none.

The Kingsman shop is where Huntsman is. You showed it in the montage around 4:52.

I started having bespoke clothes made about 5 years ago. Once you wear made to order footwear you'll want more. I've made several trips to London for shirts slacks and ties. For suits I've found great quality and affordable price in Belgrade Serbia. One place most bypass are 2nd hand stores. In London Hornets is awesome

[@buntukunene4410]

[@makavellitheprince5256]

Blancpain is the oldest watch brand not VC, secondly you mentioned Barbour but did not mention Belstaf. Then Bally should have an honourable mention as well; I’ve noticed the style and maybe the quality of Bally in USA is different than Europe.

[@richardcostello360]

Bally Europe has a COMPLETELY different catalogue of products than the USA company 😂 Europe is classic USA is showy yet built fir a single season

Churchill has his last inside George Cleverley next to Charlie Watts and Ralph Lauren's (somewhat small) last. Acquiring a Huntsman bespoke jacket was definitely a milestone for me. Lacoste Paris line of polos are top notch that is to comparable to top polo makers like Sunspel. I would love to see a part II from my favorite brands that you teased like Turnbull & Asser, Lock & Co., etc

[@tagginondawal3961]

So funny story. When I was younger (maybe like 6 years ago) while I understood that some clothes were quality, I didn't really know brands. This older lady gave me some jackets that were her first husbands, since they were about my size. I could tell they were nice but, as I said, I didn't know brands. They were a bit longer in the arms, but fit shoulders and in all other proportions. I found your channel about 3 or 4 months ago, and started learning about clothing a bit more. Turns out the jackets were Brooks Brothers. I was shocked that she gave me such nice garments. Thank you for helping me expand my knowledge of clothing and just general style

[@heraclesreborn]

Antonio, nothing is old money if it is manufactured in Asian sweatshops. Unfortunately, Brooks Brothers and others are making some or all of their pieces in these high margin, low quality slave pits. That said, I will make it to Savile Row or bust! Thanks for the vid!

[@fengmin8]

There are world class tailors all across Asia too

[@heraclesreborn]

@highqualityclothinggggg Hong Kong and Japan, but these are tailors and not manufacturers. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and others have gone to the Asian sweatshops that, in some cases, are forced labor camps. The quality of these manufactured pieces is piss poor.

[@Grimmes12]

If you make another one, perhaps mention Hart Schaffner & Marx?
