How to dress well for brown skinned men

[@brushemteeth9159]

I have always wondered and how to remove ink stains from my clothes. Barely anyone I know uses fountain pens, so no one could give me advice. Luckily, the GG staff does, just as I do, so I can count on them to finally tell me the way to go!

[@jasontsimnujyang5186]

Never in my life did I ever think I'd look up an ink stain removal video, but I just bought a new pair of cute pants and my clumsy self rolled a pen right over the thigh area!! Phase 1 was a pants saver!!! The ink literally dissolved in front of my eyes!! Thank you!!

[@leonieconti4292]

Wow. I had a pair of pants with OLD dry stains of ink . I used Isopropyl Alcohol method and it removed it. Thanks so much . Never thought I would ever get it out!!!

[@crazyboarderboy66]

As a professional tattoo artist, I do appreciate a stain removal video. It doesn't happen often but is a bummer when it does. I've had pretty good luck with fels-naptha bars, but need to be better about not pushing the ink deeper when scrambling to get it off

[@sondraortiz3357]

My dog got hold of a gel ink pen and decided to see how it tasted. Needless to say she had inked her new $200 bed your info saved the day, nothing left but clean doggie bed. Thankyou😂

[@bcase5328]

It also depends on which ink did the stain. Some inks just don't come out of some fabrics. Some fountain pens inks, like Noodler's Inks have an ink which is meant to permanently bind to paper, cotton, linen, etc.

[@glynisthomas6969]

TIP,: For small ink stains, like a pen line, use a cotton swab (ie Q-tip) dipped in your remover of choice. Limits spread and amount of remover used on fabric.

[@adeniranm7647]

As an avid fountain pen user, some water, Dawn dish soap, and the scrubbing side of a sponge will quickly remove most any ink from your hands.

[@baboyramonpopu7959]

You know u can use a titenkeller it's something Germans use when drawing it removes the ink

[@lotmelvin]

I owe you my life

[@mikih.6756]

​@@baboyramonpopu7959 but isn’t only useful when the ink is still wet? 🤔 genuine & sincere question 🙏🏻

[@francescharteris8119]

This was SO helpful-I followed your directions and also used a jar and rubber band. Took a while but so relieved to have succeeded thanks to your expert, clear suggestions!

[@badger9961]

When my hands got dirty from ink I use a pumice stone under running water. This always did the job very well.

[@spellsave]

I'd love to see a Gentleman's Gazette guide on wearing suspenders and how to deal with weight loss/gain and getting your garments adjusted. I think the later they probably have already approached in one or a few of their videos. Thanks for the amazing content!

[@gentlemansgazette]

Stay tuned!

[@gavindadds4414]

We have a product in Australia called Napisan which was created for washing babies dirty diapers. I've found that if you give just about any stain of any kind a good soaking spray of a pre-wash stain remover and let it soak in Napisan overnight then wash as usual, it will remove just about anything.

[@peterrebhahn1113]

I've had good results with the old advice to use hairspray on ink stains, but those stains were the type you get from ballpoint pens, rollerballs, or fine-tipped markers. I've never tried it on the the monster-sized stains featured in this video. But I don't walk around with vintage (read 'leaky') fountain pens while wearing straw boater hats, either, so consider the source.

[@catherineelliott3285]

Pulled out an antique quilt my MIL started to finish but could not before she passed. Someone used pen ink and what I think is black felt tip marker. I've put off working on it as I had no clue where to start cleaning w/o ruining the muslin. I'll start with the IPA first and go forward (holding my breath). Most informative video I've seen (several recommened bleach). Thank you.

[@bradpeterson2263]

Worst pen leak of my life this morning. It’s like y’all read my mind. I’m off to give your advice a try.

[@bradpeterson2263]

Success! Patient blotting with Amodex, followed by a long soak in non-chlorine oxy bleach, followed by a wash. Particularly gratifying given that it was an archival ink. It helped that the pants are mid-gray.

[@joejustice9467]

I have always used AmWay LOC on fountain pen inks with excellent results.

[@jamesgray2955]

Thank you for the great information on removing ink stains. Preston, I like the new look!

[@kikiiwu]

I used nail polish and it worked. Thanks for the detailed video.

[@ebdaniels8774]

That is a gorgeous watch, I love the script of the cardinal numbers!

[@panagiotispapadakos392]

This is very useful hope you also do different types of Stains.

[@craft-o-matic399]

I sometimes use a product called Folex, but, definitely test in an inconspicuous place first, as it may likely cause the fabric to fade.

[@lisaray9404]

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful as I have some stains to remove from some cotton and silk fabrics. Thank you again!

[@cherrywakesandbakes6366]

Amazing. Lemon salt worked best . After that rubbing liquid detergent. And well washed.

[@freshmadgod]

Thank you

[@TrailWalker03]

Great opening line!

[@craft-o-matic399]

Great to see you Preston! Looking good! Great tips! Thank you!

[@beautifullysurprised9908]

Preston you have your very own cool! Nice look.

[@mae1813]

Used lava soap to remove the stains but this is helpful for the other stain removal options

[@classicdriving2055]

Thank you , great video . Can you please do a video on the style of Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin

[@dakotastorms1255]

Tha k you I just set my pin on my bed and it stained the cover so fast I immediately searched and found your video I put 91%rubbing alcohol and detergent and it came right up THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@maxjulien2647]

[@turkp4c45]

Can you make a Video about a Classic Jabot Tie

[@RiasatSalminSami]

You are actually looking better with the stubble and side parted hair. The stubble especially.

[@vininciastrachan8751]

Try clear DAWN dishwashing liquid and hair spray. Let sit for 5 minutes and wash.

[@andrenawoodhams]

Good video, useful information, thank you. Let's see whether it works!

[@laurasohn8332]

I actually found that rubbing alcohol gets out any ink stain. Whether being a sharpie or anything like that

[@ProfessorJayTee]

At last, an interesting video.

[@judithflorida3900]

Wow i never knew

[@tathagatamajumder8033]

[@smitapillai2919]

How to remove marker ink from colored cloths😊

[@mohammadakhtaruzzamankhan5848]

I want to remove ball pen ink

[@kimvrungos2901]

Why a bleach alternative, rather than liquid bleach?

[@O-cDxA]

@Gentleman'sGazette : Please consider doing a video on men's shorts and low cut shirts, and why "shorts" have become short, baggy pants, and low cut V neck shirts are out. I'm old enough to remember when it was ( heterosexual ) to wear shorts that were 2 - 3 " above the knee, and see men with open, low cut shirts. When did things change, and why ? I could care less about it all, but just think it odd that while women are encouraged to wear super tight short - shorts and low cut shirts to show off cleavage, men are encouraged to wear shirts that are several sizes too large and stop at the pocket, as well as shorts that stop only three or for inches above the ankle. Is it because being an overweight man is now considered the norm, while being an overweight woman is looked down on ?

This is going to be one Quill of a comedy

[@Cheeseburger980]

I spilled ink on my moms bed💀 and she is home I can’t just go around the house doing this I’m cooked

[@ryanclark9386]

What if you accidentally swallowed ink and now you're 💩 is blue, what do you do? Asking for a friend

[@Imoleth]

I was a gentleman, then after those stains, I became a fkn beast ahahaha

[@kuu2856]

Weird, they didn't go into a history of removing ink from clothing and fabrics and showing how the times change from removing ink to putting it in for fashion,

[@sebasd.o.1414]

But for everyone else, enjoy our standard intro. (Turu ruru...) Ink was invented in...

[@johnfaustus1]

Wrong! The right way to remove ink stains is to never get them in the first place by not using 200-yearold inconvenient and cumbersome writing technology. But seriously - a water-tight pencase or pocket protector goes a long way.

[@Trustworthy_McLegitimate]

gonna try the acetone later. my 99% isopropyl did nothing on the ink stain.

[@Fush1234]

Totally incorrect. Simply soak the garment ( as long as you are able) in. 10l pail overnight. Soaking in full cream milk. The ink will be totally gone the next morning. Then wash with cold water in a machine as usual
