[@ryanloucks1435]

I just noticed The Chap's Guide has 30k subscribers - outstanding effort Ash!!!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thank you sir. It was a nice milestone to pass. All down to the amazing viewers, so thank you!

[@wayneford1981]

Greg is Someone who pays attention to detail.His tie is also the perfect length.Very stylish Chap.👍

[@BrianLannoye]

Wisconsin!! Lived in Sheboygan for about 5 years. So proud to be part of the state that makes Allen Edmonds

[@BrianLannoye]

And Ash.. Presidents aren't kings. Brown shoes would be fine

[@StevieMueller316]

New on the chap journey but I wore my sport coat and tie out for errands for the first time. Got a lot of compliments. Talk about a confidence boost.

[@TheChapsGuide]

You’ll never go back

[@johnparnell8571]

Very smart, Greg. Terrific shoes and that suit fits a treat. You are definitely a chap! As the suit and shirt are plain, I think this outfit would also look good with a Burgundy based club striped tie and a paisley pocket square with Burgundy and blue notes in the pattern. This would compliment the rich tones of the shoes and belt. Well done, Sir!

[@sparkyblazeup1]

Allen Edmonds factory seconds are usually a good deal.

[@stevelee7963]

Looking good Greg

[@JamesBond-qd5rc]

Great presentation!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thank you kindly!

[@paultrumbull]

Greg looks great. Also, you’re such a nice and encouraging man. Nice job, sir. My two cents - I agree with the pocket square…nothing wrong at all with the blue hanky, however , I would’ve gone with white with a contrast edge…or a bold silk pocket square. Lastly, I’d never wear black shoes with a light grey suit, unless it was a Glen plaid. Just my preference. A brown suede- any tone would look great. Or, a chestnut or cognac would also look nice. Nonetheless, he looks great.

I have bought my first two pairs of Allen Edmonds last week. A pair of Drakes in black and a pair of Carlyles in Walnut brown. They are seconds and I got another 25% off at the factory store. They feel so good on my feet. I wish I had done it much earlier in life.

[@TheChapsGuide]

Great choices sir. Bravo!!

[@Bjartone]

Greg matches the metals of his wristwatch and belt buckle.😀 Nice presentable outfit, however, personally, I prefer a slightly longer coat and trousers with a fuller, more classic fit. I also enjoyed the sky blue Winchester shirt with double cuffs and very nice neck tie, but I tend to like more traditional Budd or T & A collars, with a four-in-hand knot rather than cutaway collars and Windsor (neither full nor half) knot. But all in all: well done! Congrats on the 30.5K

[@TheChapsGuide]

Thank you sir.

[@RaoulKunz1]

Another one, hooray!😉 First though: The autumnal background is glorious! So on with Greg! (on a sidenote about dressing well in the modern age: "You look so snappy - Off to some event?" "...Aldi..." - Me, too offen to count...) I'd say no, no loss a formality by the dark brown shoes, maybe they would cause this in a colder, darker grey suit, not one in a light grey (looking down at myself... burgundy demi-brogue double monkstraps, light grey double breasted suite - Check, yes, would work just as well with a slightly "browner" shoe). And a loverly shoe it is Greg! Beautifully burnished tips! And the slight reddisch tone immediately broadens the shoe's range, so to say - would work just as well with quiet the range of suits. And light blue as well as the tie's navy, really all blues, works exceedingly well with a light grey *as well as any browns* which means all the chief colours of this ensemble are in complementary harmony! Look absolutely beautiful. So in confusion: I'll Just echoe Mr. Jones: it's magnificent! Amd I really like light grey, greys in General, they are way more versatile than "Momo and the Grey Gentlemen" suggest😉 So thank you for the feature, it always betters my mornings and thank you Greg for the Inspiration! Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

[@RaoulKunz1]

So in *confusion* I have to *conclude* that autocorrect is... oh wait, no foul language from me... it's just evil😉. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Allen Edmonds Carlisle's are very classy looking shoes. I have been looking at them myself but I am leaning more towards a pair of McAlister's which are full brogue. For anyone in the US interested Allen Edmonds is having a sale right now and there are some really good deals. I currently own 10 pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes and two pairs of their boots. They are a good value. Cheers Ron

[@Agerskiold]

I like it 👌🏼

[@sergiiarkhypov8829]

Thanks a lot. I wonder where all beautiful photos you use for the videos are coming from? Amazing style ideas

[@TheChapsGuide]

Glad you like them!

[@chrishoyt7548]

Ash, what is your pin, and are those brass buttons on the blazer? Regards, Starrlight

[@TheChapsGuide]

Sadly not solid bread, but the buttons came with the blazer. This is the pin: www.stpaulsshop.org.uk/p/3850/OBE-Emblem-lapel-pin

[@9er..]

Lessen the formality…….Absolutely not! The chap only increased his aura of sartorial modernity…. EXPONENTIALLY BTW (IMHO).

[@seriesexplained8009]

Call me traditional, but a two piece suit doesn't have much formality to begin with

[@w.adammandelbaum1805]

Nice shoes, but not with that suit. Blue tie, blue shirt rather dull. Neat but not noteworthy. Suit fits well, though.

[@PaulHindemith-i9b]

The outfit in deed would be perfect if not the terrible slim fit style of the trousers. Looks awfool. I personally also do not approve on the modern artificial darkening of shoe caps, but this is negotiable. Slim fit trousers are not!

[@adotopp1865]

I agree with you on both points

[@glennharrison7036]

I am an avid fan of your channel, Ash. That navy blazer looks fantastic on you. Would you mind telling me what make it is and where you got it from?

[@TheChapsGuide]

It’s by Jaeger, which sadly ceased trading a few years ago

[@glennharrison7036]

@@TheChapsGuide Thanks awfully for your swift reply. Not actually what I wanted to hear. So many so-called "Navy" blazers are virtually indistinguishable from black. Brook Taverner have many examples of exactly that. I shall find that blazer that I want and that meets my specifications.
