25 Style Terms Every Gentleman Should Know

[@k.t.07]

1 youtube channel that every gentleman should know:- @Gentleman'sgazette 🙏

[@BUMFORDYO]

I dig this channel. I dont dress like this at all unless its a formal event; im more of a streetwear kinda guy or "peasant" as yall would call it lol. However I still love listening to you guys (Raphael, Preston, Kyle) get on camera and just talk in depth at length about getting fly. Yall be on here gettin supa fly, talking about the nuance that goes into it, like nobody else. Im big into fashion, albeit a different style entirely, but I still respect the swag, attention to detail, and overall look of it. Super genuine.

[@BeckBeckGo]

I’m sort of similar. I ski and so I have naturally accumulated a lot of quality, properly fitted, functional garments. But I also appreciate clothing that can pull double duty, so my base layers, socks etc. are usually also attractive, with subtle knits or even a nicely placed pattern. These can be worn easily in casual social settings, après-ski, or otherwise, and have the advantage of being comfortable too.

[@invin7215]

Preston is on point these days! Such a good channel. Thank you for all the great content.

In the German dubbing of Kingsman, they actually kinda corrected their mistake. They say "Oxfords, nicht Budapester", which actually translates to "Oxfords, not Derbys". Don't think that was intentional, but still kinda interesting.

[@robbymayer5987]

I'm a proud owner of over a dozen accessories from the gentleman's gazette shop and they will definitely set you apart and make you stand out as the best dressed in the room! Not to mention the quality of the items is too notch! Thank you for all of your amazing content gentleman's gazette!

As it is difficult to find such quality content in portuguese, being able to learn with the channel really helps me in my menswear career here in Brazil. And I felt proud to know most of the terms, that I also learned here

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

Thanks for explaining. Also, that tie looks great on you Preston.

[@thatcrazywolf]

I'm so far behind on this. When I got married I bought a shirt that had french cuffs because I thought french cuffs sounded better than barrel cuffs. I didn't know what cuff links were and had to improvise with zip ties.

"Sometimes, always and never," were the rules. I learned for 3 button jackets. 2 button jackets you drop the sometimes.

[@boo6147]

Beautifully written and presented. I especially enjoy the episodes with Preston; his fluid way of speaking and precision of language is both pleasing and engaging. His passion for this subject makes him both a great educator and a salesman for the Fort Belvedere products.

[@zach4216]

I feel like this channel is out of touch with reality and tries to beckon to a generation in the past without regard for modern day society.

Found out about you guys just receltly, being in love with classic men's styles myself, I must congratulate you on your knowledge and effort that you put into creating these videos. Keep up the good work and do one about what classic car should every gentleman own or at least aspire to. (apologies if you have already done that one)

[@MijinLaw]

In the UK, in my experience, "business casual" just means shirt and trousers. Jacket and/or tie are optional, and you will rarely see the former. And while it doesn't include sneakers, you won't see many shiny dress shoes either; just basic, functional leather shoes.

[@MatthewJBD]

Shiny shoes are best kept for the military.

Offensive Username Why? Is this a recurring observation?

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

I the German version of Kingsmen, he diesn't differenciate between Oxfords and Brogues but “Oxfords, not Budapester“ whicz makes sense since Budapester here means a slightly bumpy long toe part.

[@richardsanchez9190]

Let me be perfectly clear. I have no intention whatsoever of ever dressing like this in my life, if I can help it. But for some reason I don't know what it is about these videos, but I like watching them all and I've subscribed. Keep up the good work. I might not ever do it, but it looks like you guys love what you do and are good at it, so I take my backwards baseball hat off to you.

[@jasonstimson7765]

Most of the outfits in this video were hideous

[@zenzombie72]

Excellent. You covered lots of terms I wasn't 100% certain about. But you're mistaken about there being a dichotomy in Kingsman. "Oxfords, not Brogues" means, "Oxfords, but not brogued Oxfords, because that's just Bad Form". Take it from an English Gent.

[@DanteDMCry]

Great and very insightful video Preston! But as an Irish man I will point out you're pronouncing Donegal very slightly incorrectly. It's Dony-gall. The first syllable is supposed to be said a bit slower. You're running the syllables together a bit too quickly which sounds more like "don-ih-gal" which isn't correct.

[@zakariamazouz99]

Knew 20/25. I guess I can call myself a sartorial connoisseur now haha. Just kidding. Cheers gentlemen great video as always 🥂

[@spykezspykez7001]

Great video. To make it better: Donegal. The accent is on the last syllable. And pronounced more like “all” (as in y’all) rather than girl. Great work nonetheless, laddies. Carry on!

[@aaronscott2889]

Thanks, GG!!! You have most definitely helped me up my style game. I look fly most days now, and the other night, my wife mentioned that my nighttime pjs were fly as well.

[@danilosljiva]

OMG is that an Otterbox Commuter phone case you're using @0:42 time of the video? I've been using OtterBox defender for over 15 years now for my iPhone, and to me OtterBox is the best choice when it comes to defending your phone from outside damage and unintended hits against the edges of walls while swinging your hand with your phone in it when passing through a narrow doors at the same time for example, which as weird and clumsy as it sounds, happens to me quite often! The thing is, most classically dressed people have told me that carrying such bulky case in combination with a classic suit couldn't look more disproportionate and that I should I rather opt for a slim unnoticeable see-through case or get rid of the case altogether, which would make my overall appearance much more sleek and high status. They say that as a slim guy like yourself, there is nothing worse I could do then wear a slim fitted suit that compliments my body shape well, while holding a "bulky brick" in my hand or next to my ear while talking on the phone. Do you believe such claims to be true? And what other options could I try in order to discover a better balance in my overall outside "classi businessman" appearance while alternatively protecting my phone on the same quality level?

[@aabhavmishra8728]

Can a wingtip collar shirt be worn with a business suit?

[@warden2541]

Preston you're an extremely eloquent speaker but donegal is moreso pronounced dun-e-gawl

[@Zeratul306]

[@walterfoyt5985]

There is one term you should have mentioned with respect to trouser is a “fishtail back.” That is when the trousers have a high back with a cut designed to be worn with braces.

The twill weave is also more rip resistant than many other weaves.

Is the Derby shoe pronounced dArby or dErby..... I hear it spoken both ways , which is correct. Probably a dumb question but I'd like to get it correct

[@themancuniancandidate2744]

It depends where in the world you live. In the UK it's pronounced as Darby. In Australia or North America it's pronounced as Durby.

I just had a suit made, and the jacket came out to a drop 11. But it looks really good. Now I just have to keep up with exercise to keep that fit.

I think that fine line is what you decide to do with this information.

This lovely video felt like a half term exam that I was looking forward too.

[@Grabehn42]

In my country there's a very poor clothing terminology which leads to a lot of confusion when someone in the know talks about certain things. For example the Duffel coat is refered to as "Montgomery" because of a WWII Field Marshal that wore the piece, or others talk about "suela" which is Spanish for "sole" when refering to leather soles, which leads to some confusing lines like "belts made of sole". Oddly enough, it's not just people confusing the term, but rather that most just don't actually know the material they're talking about IS leather.

[@Egilhelmson]

Republic of Ireland refers to the political unit, not the geographical one, like insisting on The Islamic Republic of Iran rather than just Iran, or demanding the Federal Republic of Germany rather than just Germany. Ignoring the language difference, of course.

[@shooterblaze1]

@@Egilhelmson no…it refers to the official title of the country Comparing America to USA is acceptable because there’s no other country called after the continent on it ie Canada, Mexico However if you were to compare Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland it’s like saying DAKOTA instead of specifying the region Ie NORTH Dakota or SOUTH Dakota
