from my experience vintage is more difficult than OTR. Cloth is heavy as hell and it doesn't drape, it's like a frickin carpet of course it won't drape nicely. For Sven works as he has quite a rounded phisique but should you have an average-athletic build it won't be too good. Vintage means - boxy, no darts, heavy fabric, weird button stance, outdated and not suited for the modern man. I would rather buy a modern overcoat having 10%-20% Polyamide or Polyester mixed with Wool rather than a 100% wool vintage. It just fits better and you look better as a result

Excellent advice.. but like all advice, I have to ignore just one (or two) point(s): My beautiful bespoke cashmere overcoat. I just couldn't help myself :-) I love cashmere! Also, I am 6' 4" and I had the length made to mid-shin-bone. Because I could. You don't know what it's like being my height and having to deal with clothing that's too short. I told my tailor I want my overcoat halfway between my knees and my feet dammit :-) He tried to discourage me on that length, but when I finally put the coat on, he agreed with me - it looks awesome! As for the warmth of cashmere, I am coldblooded and love winter - I stay warm enough in my cashmere coat in the worst climates except maybe for the North Pole. But I have no plans to travel there anytime soon! Great vid, Sven, thanks! PS: I just received my cummerbund and single length bow tie - beautiful!

I love the cashmere advise, because that's true, it's just not heavy enough and makes it a deal more expensive and it's not even touching your skin all the time.

I liked your coats. I have one I got in the late 80s and I still get compliments on it. Black and grey herringbone. I've worn it enough the lining and pockets have been replaced. When you talk about warmth and say a cashmere wool isn't warm enough and synthetic fabrics aren't warm enough it makes me wonder how much time you spend outside in cold weather. I have an old cashmere sweater that has some moth holes, but if I wear a long sleeve wicking shirt the sweater and my New Balance running jacket, well, I ran a 5k in -8 degrees F. I think you should do a section on fur coats for men, well, maybe not, but if you want to stay warm, fur seems to be the best insulator. It doesn't get that cold around here.

Being from Eastern Europe I noticed not only that the clothing style dramatically changed in the 50s but it was actively promoted in the movies: the good guy usually dressed like a proletarian, while the nice style was usually reserved for the bad guy, enemy of the state coming from the decadent capitalist world. Even today people here constantly dress down compared to the West, and even if clothing got more accessible than ever. 40 years of propaganda is hard to wash away.

Raphael, you live in Minnesota. Winters there are like -20 C (-5 F)... how can you bear this cold with just these coats and flat caps? that's impossible without a parka and at least a heavy beanie! haha

Never thought to wear and overcoat without a jacket, a little warmer but not too warm. Good luck finding overcoats used here in the Southwest. Some odd reason not worn here despite can get into the 20s. Only colored one I have has small moth holes (got forgotten), doubt most notice, certainly wouldn't wear to something nice, but going to University it's fine. It was my Opa's, first item he purchased with his first job when he was 15 in 1930, so has special meaning.

How do you find a "normal" hat to be warm enough? i mean your ears look red already. What better winter alternatives are there?

I work in a luxury designer clothing store (we carry Kiton, Loro Piana, and Tom Ford) and a guy with a fedora hat comes in often to "hang out" and never buys anything. When we sales associates stop talking to him (we only earn commission), he pretends to talk to someone on his phone and poses around the store. We call him the fedora guy!

to number one I gotta say that black just always looks good and i even wear a black oercoat to a completely black outfit, which in my opinion is not boring when you have some silver accesoirs like a watch and a chain

Thanks for this! I finally got myself a vintage fur collared double breasted overcoat which is going to be useful for my winter work commute. Any tips on a casual outwear with a cleaner profile than down jacket?

I think one way to expand the content of the channel is to look into how a young individual can transition from a street aesthetic to a more dapper look. And while youre on that, i think a series on high end fashion brands (e.g. your gucci loafers review). I think it allows the channel to also educate a gentleman about high end fashion brand. I am personally tired to high end fashion being almost always conflated with "high street" and streetwear. Its unflattering, not classic and simply trendy.

I'm getting my Navy Blue Italian military surplus trench coat on Monday. My chest sits between a Large and XL so to be on the safe side I opted to buy the XL, the coat has nice silver buttons for a very nice contrast and they will pair nicely with my black sheepskin insulated leather gloves. I'm also looking at getting some grey Italian wool pants that I was looking at and pairing them with a nice cotton belt with a silver buckle to tie the look together. I'm a bit unsure what shoes and shirt would go well with this look unfortunately.

This guy seems like he knows what he's talking about but his style is so old fashion it's kinda hard to take him seriously. He looks stylish and not stylish at the same time.

He's definitely stuck in a particular time period. He should be convincing more people to wear overcoats by making the aesthetic more accessible. Instead no one will want to wear one because they think they'll look like an 80 year old man going to church (not that there is anything wrong with that).
