[@Rcorp31]

The Luke Hodges community of gentlemen is probably the most thoughtful I’ve ever seen on the internet.

[@arty_lerry7730]

I listen to videos like this as background when I do something. So maybe I missed it. But overcoat is a must for a grown man.

[@chadbailey7038]

Loving Natalino’s content right now. Nice to see a well dressed gentleman in my skin tone, looking sharp. Glad to see you mention watches also. Thanks 👍🏾

[@LukeHodges]

Cheers Chad! Natalino are really smashing it right now!

[@mattsmith3764]

Cracking video, best one yet mate. Citizen are making some fantastic value dive watches which I can heartily recommend. Keep up the good work.

[@LukeHodges]

Thanks Matt, appreciate it!

[@dantrelford3371]

Great sum up Luke - thanks for keeping the content flowing, best channel for menswear in my view!

A pair of quality cufflinks would definitely be on my list. I think a good pair from a brand like Cartier or Montblanc really helps to set you apart.

[@LukeHodges]

That’s a good one! Great suggestions too

[@michaelbishop9157]

Ombre really does have that new car leather smell but it's great and I always get lots of compliments on it

[@LukeHodges]

It’s definitely next on my list!

[@King_Harrold]

Tom Ford for Men is awesome. Had it since c2008 and current bottle has half left. I hope they bring it back. I've got Ombre Leather, you won't be disappointed. My wife loves it and ladies at work or out always compliment it. I also have Tom Ford Costa Azzurra, that's a nice summer evening scent.

[@LukeHodges]

Same! it's one of the best all-rounder scents. Costa Azzurra sounds intriguing too

[@robo2606]

Tissot watches are affordable 😎

[@mohammedazam5320]

Fantastic choice

[@LukeHodges]

Thanks Mohammed!

[@janekJK22]

Asket have some nice t-shirt options in different lengths. I also found the Anglo Italian jeans really good in ecru. I think a raglan coat was missing from the list (probably recency bias in the summer 😅) . Maybe you could do sth on that.

[@LukeHodges]

Some great shouts in there! I have a video on raglan coats back last winter but sure to do more when the weather her turns!

[@janekJK22]

@@LukeHodges oh nice, I missed that, will check it out.

[@1eddwood]

Good video , but the price of some of those brands definitely isn’t for the blue collar working man I’m afraid

[@ThaiHa-k8d]

What’s the first brown belt with a “C” buckle?

[@naushmalik]

Had the same question

[@99jasonhooper]

Re watches - Christopher Ward great watches for fantastic value.

[@jaysterling26]

I agree - I have a 36mm C63. They have sakes in January & Jume(?).Sign up for notification. Starting off Seiko, Citizen , Casio all have suitable steel watches. A Tissot Gentleman ( I don't own )? I also own ( er..) & enjoy a Hamilton Jazzmaster 34mm ( find a discount @ £ 750 - 800, but larger sizes as well) & Citizen BM8180 -62E - from Japan on Ebay UK £130 - no customs to pay. Rolex? Yeah, but vintage ( I'm dreaming..).

[@alternateunreleasedshellac505]

What's your opinion on full-cut trousers (aka "baggy" trousers)? I personally don't see the appeal of the continental.

[@eduardopadrino2117]

Tbh i was hesitant about them. Tried a pair of some vintage alan lebow linen pants i found on eBay - high waist, full cut... I don't see a reason now for me to ever go back to continental or skinnier cuts. I find full cut to be much more comfortable and drapes very elegantly because the fabric is away from your leg so you can show off your pleats, crease, cuffs, etc

[@danielchavez9955]

Anyone see timestamp guy yet??

[@1eddwood]

That wallet is way too small , no room for a money clip and a roll of Arthur Ashe
