I personally think that overcoats only look good if they go past the knee, especially for the vintage/old money look, so I would go for the longest one

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching. Great point, Ferdinand. Tricky to find with newer coats, but I also prefer coats that go past the knee.

[@johnroberts1141]

Very informative channel. The vast majority of clothes you mention in this video are staples in my wardrobe.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you, John :) That's perfect :)

[@Napat2781]

I love a good navy blazer. Btw you look so good in thumbnail like GQ!

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you 😁Appreciate it 😊

[@VTT09]

Brilliant video and great recommendations, glad to say I own 8 of the 9!

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching. That's perfect :) 👌

[@ABC-rh7zc]

Totally agree about the vintage watch suggestion, although modern watches with vintage styling can work just as well (the Cartier tank being a good example).

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching. True, I think vintage watches and also vintage furniture have their unique charm.

[@walterfoyt5985]

Great video. I love a navy blazer. One in wool with braze buttons in the winter and one in linen with bone buttons for the summer. I also love Belgian loafers. I would add Nantucket Red chinos. They look great on the Cape in the summer and in Palm Beach in the winter. With respect to an overcoat I would include a Camel Hair Polo Coat.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you, Walter. A linen blazer for summer sounds fantastic. Great point with the camel hair polo coat. It doesn't get much classier than that 👌 Thanks for the tip with the Nantucket chinos. I will check them out.

[@Rajasekar-bb1qi]

From tropical location, Corduroy beats the heat and looks brilliant. Cheers.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching. It's not too hot for you? I can only wear linen or light cotton here in Thailand 😅

[@markallen557]

Just found your channel. Great stuff! Back in the day it was mandatory to dress well and most everyone wore this type of clothing. At some point could you please discuss your thoughts on todays use of cuffs and pleats. Thank you for sharing this type of information. My faith is restored in peoples ability to dress well.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you, Mark :) Glad you liked it. Do you mean the fact that cuffs and pleats are not that common anymore, or that they are making somewhat of a resurrection?

[@markallen557]

@@Lukas_Schanderl Both I guess. Just your thoughts of the 'how to' in todays world. Thanks!

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

Wide wales for me! I like old fashioned: when you're old, why not embrace age? And another one here for past the knee overcoats - arthrtic knees need that extra protection. Your cashmere coat is beautiful - I want it!

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Good point. Thank you, Robert. I was lucky with the coat 😁 Pristine condition

[@hockerty]

Wow! Great video Lukas. The clothes fit you perfectly

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you so much 👌 I love the clothes

[@bbarnes4491]

Love the corduroy pants, just timeless.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Super comfortable, as well :)

[@alexrad9570]

How about gurkha pants? I love Reverso and tank watches, esp Bulova art deco fron 30s🎉

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Gurkha trousers are a great option :) I'm a big fan of them, as well. Great choice of watches, Alex 👌

[@bbarnes4491]

Looking dapper, Sir.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you :)

[@nicklasandersson6384]

Great video! Time for me to invest in a vintage omega watch to look more preppy I'd say!

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you, Nicklas :) It's on my list as well :)

[@barrymurphy1337]

Great video Lukas, the Ivy League style is the one I've adopted. A couple of thoughts & a question: You're so right about cream coloured chinos, such a step up from tan. I notice your tie is striped from right to left, not the athentic US Brooks Bros, style left to right! And the question: how do you feel about wearing a tie with a button down shirt? (no, I don't use that dreadful abbreviation lol). As an Englishman I just can't bring myself to do it!

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching, Barry :) I only use the OCBD to save space for the text in the video 😁 I read somewhere that it's usually not recommended to wear a tie with a button down shirt, but I actually kind of like the look. How about you? I've seen Simon Crompton and also the guys from The Armory wear button down shirts with a tie and I personally think they make it look great and casual.

[@barrymurphy1337]

@@Lukas_Schanderl It seems hard-wired into my brain that a button-down shirt DOES NOT go with a tie. Don't get me wrong, an OCBD (now you've got me doing it😉) is my daily casual go-to when I'm not wearing a tie and when you see photos of John Cassavetes totally rocking the look or Gregory Peck peering over his sunglasses with the top button popped & skinny tie there can be no doubt its a very cool style. Do you have any experience of the tab collar Lukas? I thinking a tab collar shirt maybe my next sartorial investigation.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Just looked up the guys you mentioned. They really knew how to dress. Crazy how much times have changed. I haven't tried tab collar shirts yet but I really like the look. I'll put it on my personal list as well :) Let me know when you get yours.

[@ilshatkhamitov3633]

Very nice outfit! What is the fabric of the blazer? I'm thinking about ordering one from hockerty

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you :) It's 100% wool at Hockerty.

[@classicsciencefictionhorro1665]

Pants were always cuffed in the Ivy look but manufacturers found they could save money (fabric) by hemming pants. Almost no manufacturers offer unfinished pants that could be cuffed or hemmed, again because saving one or two inches of fabric per pants can save a company hundreds of thousands of dollars when manufacturing 100,000 pants.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Great point :) Thanks for sharing.

[@SimonChambers]

I love my loafers! Both suede and regular leather :). I should add a blazer back to my wardrobe again, but I'm usually pretty happy with either a suit or a sports coat, and don't really feel the lack of a blazer. I agree with you on red pants- I bought burgundy cords for this winter :). I do a lot of striped, rep ties, but am also looking at more foulards to round out my collection. I agree with you on red/dark green too. I'm with you that the alpaca coat looks better, although the navy is great too! In terms of sweater colours, I would add burgundy to your list. I have really been loving that colour the last couple of years! Was the Seiko that you mentioned the Presage collection?

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching, Simon. Great point to add burgundy :) Fantastic color for sweaters. Yes, It was the Seiko presage collection, with the cocktail edition. Quite a nice watch in my opinion.

[@SimonChambers]

@@Lukas_Schanderl I always watch your videos! We have very similar taste in style, so it's great to see what you cover from video to video. Yes, I've looked into the presage since you put this out, and it looks like a lovely watch. Watches is an area I haven't really gotten too far into, but I've put that one on my list as a possible step up from the Seiko solar watch and the Timex I currently have :).

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you, Simon. I'm glad to hear that. Timex and Seiko are probably the best budget friendly dress watches. I really like many of their models, especially the vintage ones. The presage definitely looks interesting but for some people, it might be a bit too large

[@tophose999]

@@Lukas_Schanderl It seems to be a 40mm, which I am hoping isn't too large! I agree on Timex and Seiko- almost all the watches I've owned are from them as I don't have the money to buy into more expensive brands :).

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

It might be a bit large 😅 But for anyone above 6 foot, it should work quite well I think.

[@wadetheknifeaddict9799]

any advice for a person like myself who is 6’7 with a size 15 shoe 😅? cuz most of the things you mentioned aren’t widely available for ppl like me such as the loafers . for suits and pants in general i get tailored for me but there are some things that are hard to find yk

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

I thought I had issues with my size 13 😅 I think Meermin goes up to size 15 :) Great brand for loafers and high quality shoes

[@corbinm251]

If I ever get a watch, i have my eye on Longines watches: a fanciful part of me wants one with the moon phases; however, for the “esthetic”, I’d like the Dolcevita.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

I feel the same. I really love their moon phase watches, but I would probably start with the Dolcevita, as well, as a stepping stone to the Tank Americaine.

[@DiogenesWasRight90]

I want something less preppy but don't want to look like I'm cosplaying peaky blinders while touching on outlaw themes and american/dustbowl themes. Advice/places to start looking?

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching. That's not an easy task 😅 I guess some of the vintage Ralph Lauren looks on Pinterest might work? With green, brown colors, suede leather jackets?

[@numptyfish1234]

You reference the Cartier tank Americain (I have one and love it) but that isn’t the model that was in the video :-(

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

That's amazing :) I like pretty much every variation of the tank Americaine. Which model do you have?

[@Highland_Paddy]

Most will get more use out of the sport jacket than the true blazer. Thinner wales will look less "country" overall? Pleated front chinos and other trousers will look more formal. Ivy Style and "old money" are not necessarily the same thing, since most people equate OM with more subdued looks than the brighter preppy looks even though it's largely just a rename for Trad.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Other buzzwords that aren't quite the right "fit": Dark Academia, etc.

[@Highland_Paddy]

That's not a trench coat because it doesn't go past your knees. Also, many might prefer the Car Coat to the full overcoat, etc. The most typical Ivy look would actually be the Duffel coat because it's more a true cold weather coat than a businessman's overcoat.

[@Highland_Paddy]

The point is these guys are in COLLEGE, so they're still spending less money on their wardrobes which aren't going to follow them so much into the post-grad business world over half century ago and all that. So now people are taking these former student looks and weekend looks and using them more and more for office looks and such on days that aren't just Office Casual Fridays now.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Tennis IS v-neck, tho....

[@Highland_Paddy]

500 euros is decent price? I see some watches in the catalogue for $150 and still don't buy them because I know I don't wanna wear them.

[@piercenigel4670]

hello! about the blazer. single vent or double vent? i might go to a tailor. and since it's gonna be unlined, there probably won't any padding. but what if i have weak shoulders and would like to help the situation?

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for your comment, Pierce. I went for a double vent blazer. Maybe you could also go for wider peak lapels to create a larger V-line in your upper body? And maybe you could add a tiny bit of extra padding, but not too much to make it look unnatural.

I totally agree with you on all of your suggestions. I wish I would have discovered suede loafers a long time ago. Suede is durable and easy to care for. It appears as though Hocketry has served you well.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you, Arthur. Totally agree :) I also started to really like suede jackets, but they are a bit out of my price range at the moment :D I'm pretty happy with their clothes, especially the trousers, jackets and coats.

[@mdleweight]

The Cartier in the photo shown is not the Tank Americaine. It is the classic Tank.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you for pointing that out :)

[@pilev2]

Actually, Chinese trains are faster than Japanese. However, fastest one goes like 600km/h

[@ABC-rh7zc]

Personally I don't think a button down shirt should be worn with a jacket or tie. One reason is that your collar should be tucked under the jacket lapel. i.e. there should be no gap. The button-down collar makes this very difficult.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching. You make a good point. I personally like the look but I also understand your perspective.

[@yuta3699]

I have never looked at it these way about button down collar not suitable under a jacket but you make a lot of sense.

[@ChasingBarrels]

I think it's totally suitable with a blazer but not with a suit.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Great point. I agree on that. With a sports jacket it can look very interesting, but not everyone likes the look.

[@thomash.9930]

I think that just applies for 'dressed' shirts i.e. cutaway collars and co. The point of going OCBD is to adopt a more relaxed look without getting the austerity of a wide collar. I personally think that it looks odd to wear a cutaway collar with a tweed jacket and flannel trousers, OCBD seems more appropriate as it is more casual.

[@smacwhinnie]

Double breasted blazer and tie calls for a spread collar, not button collar. You can get away with button down collars with single breasted blazer or sport jacket though

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you for pointing that out.

[@mohamedkhaireh9356]

Tucker Carlson fashion style is old money.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching. Never thought about it that way, but you're right. He regularly dresses in the preppy look.

[@jasonkrick1614]

I don’t understand ‘looking like old money’ when one isn’t from ‘old money’. I know a lot of ‘old money’ people. And none of them dress like this. My Ivy League friends don’t dress like this either. Btw. I turned down two interviews from Harvard. People brag about going to Harvard. I brag I turned them down. Twice.

''like kind of'' - ''very unique'' - ''really really nice'' - ''very timeless'' - why don't you write a script and check it with Grammarly?

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for the feedback, Eric. I usually write a script but try to speak without reading from a teleprompter, and then all those less than ideal filler words and sentences creep in. Definitely an area I plan to improve on.
