someone looked at quilted horse jackets and thought "that does look comfy"

[@noah597]

I would love to see a roomtour of your house. Greetings from Germany : )

[@justsomeone7872]

Agreed would be rather nice greetings from your neighbors Denmark

[@NickD2112]

I love the touch of humor in your videos! For me the things I wish I bought earlier are good shoes and boots. Working in a casual environment it has always been just sneakers, but in the past year I started getting nice footwear and it has been a lot of fun. It has even inspired me to “dress up” the rest of my wardrobe.

[@nickkosloff6146]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@NickD2112]

@@nickkosloff6146 Just sad it took me until 51 to stop dressing like a teenager :)

[@prapanthebachelorette6803]

I’ve been wanting attires that are tough enough for construction work but look as decent as at least business casual ever since I was in middle school 😂

[@ceneblock]

2:33 you may think the suit is just a gag for the video, but fun fact: that's actually Raphael's workout attire!

[@Reverend_Salem]

thats one way to get a good sweat in.

Absolutely love this type of content provides some insight into items I would have otherwise never known about.

This guy is talking about paying to commission a frigging mural. You sure you're missing out on that lol?

@@AB0BA_69 yes.

[@nateb9768]

Sad thing about where I live. We have many spare the air days so we cannot do any wood burning. California doesn’t allow any “normal” things unfortunately

[@rhirsch81]

Lighting: wish I had discovered sooner 40 Watt bulbs for table lamps instead of 100 Watt. Lower intensity lights create pools of light around table lamps rather than illuminating the entire room. Much cosier/intimate looking in the evening.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Your shade is also important.

[@_Just_Some1]

Even better if they are dimmable and smart!

[@unconventionalideas5683]

The bonus is that they lower the electricity bill.

[@orangefoxxd6120]

[@honeyhannijung]

Watching this video is half learning about all these cool things I would like to invest in when the time (and money) comes, and half constantly hearing John Mulaney say "THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF LUXURY" on repeat in my head. 🤣💖

[@onocoffee]

The bespoke shoes are a game-changer. I love mine. But, I've found that the more shoes you have made, the better it gets. As the shoemaker learns more about your feet - my fourth pair is so much better than the first pair!

[@notyourmom850]

Everyone who can pick up a tool and use it needs a belt or something similar. I personally utilize bib overalls and a toolbelt as needed. The bib overalls are extremely comfortable and when made from good denim or duck cotton, are the right tool for manual jobs.

[@j3tztbassman123]

Raphael, you have a tool belt, and the tools to go with (I hope); build out your own closet. The big box home improvement stores sell the kits.

[@insertnamehere001]

You're supposed to season cast-iron pans the same way, so I hear. Though I'm guessing carbon-steel is still better.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Yes, there is a reason restaurants use carbon steel pans, not cast iron.

[@francisfeldmann1157]

@@gentlemansgazette If you season and oil cast iron, it is no more work to take care of. And seasoning it is easy. There are lots of videos on how to.

[@micahbush5397]

Carbon steel has a few major advantages: It's lighter, comes to temperature faster, and isn't as brittle as cast iron, so if the pan warps, it's more likely to be fixable. And unlike most modern cast iron, carbon steel pans usually come with a smooth surface.

[@nathanbinns6345]

I grew up in a house with a real fireplace. I miss it! So cozy in winter, and so much fun burning all of my school work page by page at the end of each school year, haha.

As an electrician I have to agree with the Caseta controls. They work with or without a bridge.

[@DemonChild069]

I have a friend who also has a love of clothing and a massive wardrobe but limited space so he bought one of those automated dry-cleaning conveyor deals to hang all of his clothes on since he had limited closet space but a very large laundry room / basement.

[@n8sfolly]

The one thing i really wish I had bought sooner? Offset nuts and camelots. I'm glad you made a list of what YOU really do wish you had bought sooner and didn't seem to interject audience appeal too much into the list. Much more informative on far more levels this way. Thank you!

[@sanchokihana6341]

Well, that gave me plenty food for thought. Thanks to wonderful discerning gentlemen of the Gentleman's Gazette!

[@MarioMayer]

That toolbelt hasn't seen much work hahaha. Looks like fresh off the shelf Raphael! :D

[@miguelo3068]

Looking forward to your closet makeover 👍

[@darcywade2407]

Peloton bikes are great for cardio but it's only a small part of keeping fit. For instance if one doesn't incorporate weight lifting/training you'll always be trying to lose weight or stay trim with the same size fuel burning "motor". Gaining muscle is a crucial part in overall physical fitness. If you have bigger muscles you will burn more calories not only at the gym but even when your simply moving throughout your day. Look up the fitness/weight loss pyramid , cardio is the least most important ingredient.

[@mygemail3795]

Already looking forward to the wardrobe video:)

[@ljr35]

I too use Bourgeat pans, excellent quality. A tip - Bourgeat make excellent non-stick pans which are useful for some things. And once the non-stick coating wears off they become effectively cast iron pans that will last another two decades.

[@truthreigns7]

Excellent information. Thank you for the informative experience.

Holy cow congrats on the house!

It's too short and makes his head egg shaped. I know he wants to look neat but it emphasizes his ears and egg shaped.

[@andrewbillek9209]

@@lisbetsoda4874 The 23rd thing he should get is a haircut that doesn't emphasize his ears and the unphotogenic shape of his head. Also, the camera is shooting up at him and this distorts what isn't distorted by the haircut.

Hint: you're supposed to season cast iron the way you season carbon steel.

[@05Rudey]

Always been a Safari Jacket fan, even before I made the conscious choice effort to better my outward appearance about 12 years ago (Regular haircuts, trimmer physique, dressing better) A Safari Jacket was among the first purchases I made, perhaps after a pair of brown Chukka Boots and a Swiss made watch.

An open fire is great until you need to clean it out the next morning and set it for the following night :-) Point 23. Hire someone to clean out the fireplace ashes every day.

[@CoyoteCoop]

Those safari jackets are actually based on the M-51 Jackets used by the US military during the Korean War, which were replaced during Vietnam by the iconic M-65, even though the M-65 wasn’t as common as the Jungle Fatigues

[@maximilienrobespierre7927]

I personally went the other way with light switches in my house. Classic Accents sells vrry nice vintage-styled push button swithches.

[@Reverend_Salem]

also, house of antique hardware sells nice looking ones, i can not speak for the quality, but they atleast look like they are fairly good quality. they also have dimmer versions (from looking at it, the top button can rotate to allow the light to dim.

[@Acemans]

that indirect lighting makes a huge difference. You should show a process on how to do it

If you can care for a carbon steel pan properly you can do the same for cast iron; which provides natural iron to your diet. Happy cooking and 2022!

i personally like hybrid fireplaces/stoves, i.e. fireplaces that can run on either wood or natural gas/propane. i also prefer free standing wood stoves over traditional fireplaces, mainly because they are more efficient, and i like the look better (also easier to put in to a house than a fireplace.)

The only person in the world who is still still happy he bought a Peloton. At least you didn't buy shares in them too 😁

[@surfeymcsurfer]

I mountain bike steep chunky single track with punishing uphills 2x a week, season pass snow skier, surf, etc. All of these require great cardio. I own a peloton. Peloton is awesome, would still buy it if it were 2x price. If you just buy it and think it will make you fit, nope. If you actually use it as a training tool you will find it allows extra workouts between sports and it has made all of them better, feel much stronger.

[@whatwelearned]

@@surfeymcsurfer That's like saying a Ferrari must be good value because it goes over 50mph and looks nice.

[@mdwag57]

Have you done a review of jeans? A program of when gentlemen wear jeans.. And when cowboy boots are the way to go. I was just looking at the Delta 68 jeans online. But think I'd prefer the boot cut vintage Lee or Levis. Have you never reached the point where you just had to have a Filson? And an old American Pendleton board shirt is the very finest and most comfortable garment a man can own. That northwestern wool just lays into the body like a second skin, feels like growing fur.
