Grids, Plaids and Windowpanes: Checked Patterns in Menswear and How to Wear Them

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

Gentleman's Gazzete- one of the only you tube menswear channels without PLAID sponsorships.

[@EnKopp]

Ok, that is epic.

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

@@EnKopp Thank you!

[@needfoolthings]

Well PLAID, sir.

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

You win the Internet by _check_ mate!

"...so you can check yourself without wrecking yourself." haha nice one, Preston

[@benjaminkenobi21]

The "check yourself" joke was masterfully delivered Preston

[@andrewperez1973]

I love this gentleman's accent. It helps me a lot to practice my English. Thanks

[@Mr_Gilado]

"Its hip to be square" Perfectly executed

[@Theorist291]

I love this channel, it has so many great videos which help people with fashion. It has certainly helped me out a lot. So thank you Gentleman’s Gazerte.

[@shamsadrahman]

In case anyone wanted to jump right into the main part 12:23 - How to wear these patterns

[@KRW628]

I've been wearing a green/blue and a red/blue Tattersall shirt for years; and I never knew that pattern had a name and a history. Thank you! I rock them with either a solid navy or red knit tie, or a burgundy/blue or green/blue Repp tie.

[@michaelbell3952]

I used to have one too, now I have only a purple and blue one that I just re found

[@Kevinjandro]

Love what you all are doing here 👈🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@cameronmcpeak5183]

Could you do a video on how a gentleman can upgrade his wardrobe for construction? Like for engineers and other less rough jobs.

[@mhhhmm8118]

^^^^^^

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

There is an awesome youtuber called Carl Murawski. He is an electrician, but a dapper one. He likes traditional americana style, but also tailored suits and overcoats. You should check him out. I hope this helps.

[@thetradingmentor]

One of the very best videos you ever created. Top notch and sadly you just cost me a FORTUNE! My bank account going to get depleted in the next year or so as I buy all this up. Bummer.

[@Dream-bebe]

This is an educational video about various check patterns and how to wear them.

[@mattsitton6826]

Thanks for clearing up all the checks.

[@jeffb.140]

That video certainly checked out!

[@jaimezamudiomendez9426]

Excelente Preston. Si se puede con subtítulos. Saludos desde México. Feliz navidad.

[@peakyblinder2114]

Very rich guide thank you so much!!

[@MarcelGomesPan]

If you want to irritate a kilt maker, order a shepherds check kilt. They are made but i have heard the check gives a bit of a tv static effect on the eyes while making it. Also you get less guidance when pleating it. Wierdly, tattersall shirts, window pane tweeds etc works with tartan kilts as does Argyle hose ( socks ). So a tweed jacket and vest with a window pane pattern, tartan kilt would be rather traditional and give a rustic , casual impression. Kilt and Argyle hose can also be combined in formal wear with the black barathea Prince Charles jacket, three button black vest, dress sporran, white shirt and black bow tie. So can tartan trews, so tartan trousers for formal wear. It sounds bold but you DO look both smart, dapper and formal. Sorry for the lenghty Scottish thing. I just have a passion for Highland wear as well as classic men’s wear….and i don’t want to come off as square or off the grid. *Drumroll* Great and informative video as always! 👍🎩❤️

[@lxr_rl]

Great video!

[@OMGheyitsSgtCorbett]

Where can I get that waistcoat seen around 15:32 in the video?

[@fargin2778]

Preston since you're presenting in front of the minibar, what is your cocktail hour favorites?

[@gentlemansgazette]

Preston is more of a clear spirits kind of guy

[@TheDudeWithTheDrums]

It would be nice to see a video on the salt and pepper pattern.

[@lilugoat9054]

I have a plaid blazer, does wearing a checked shirt make it an odd combination?

[@MrVeryfrost]

What assortment of shirt colors and ties fits to your jacket ? I recently bought suit similar to your jacket, would be nice to know what range of shirts and ties would fit for it.

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

They did a video all about matching your shirts and ties to the color of your suit jacket/suit. I would say that, since this is quite a neutral collored jacket, you can go with white, beige or even pastel tones and patterns. Just dont go over the top and get a pattern similar to the windowpane on the jacket.

[@brennannelson4238]

Well done

[@LifeAfter50]

Love the intro music 👍

[@randysurratt9919]

Thank you Preston. I didn't know that.👍🏽

[@firdauskaswady2217]

Can one include a floral pattern in their classic dapper look?

[@napusenimacak1451]

Is checked shirt business formal and can it be worn at office

[@theconservativecastwmiguel5013]

What do I do if I have a gingham check that's blue and red, kinda like a tattersall

[@Lorax_Tribe]

I like the red and blue Tattersall pattern for a shirt, so it can look very patriotic with American colors without looking like you're wearing a flag.

[@1Thunderfire]

This would likely be good for the UK too plus incorporating white somewhere instead of those god-awful Union Jack suits I've seen old men on cruise ships wear for British Night and I'm not even patriotic in any way, shape or form.

[@improvwithlions4173]

Maybe I should look into a red n gold or red n burgundy for Canada 🤔

[@jeffhreid]

Good video. Of note however, at 16:14 you show a checked waistcoat as a good look but I’ll point out a couple things that aren’t quite right. First , the gentleman is wearing a belt with the vest, that isn’t done, secondly the vest is too short since we can see the belt and bit of the tie. It may be more correct to say the trousers are too low, a high waisted pair cut for braces would work much better. Overall I’d give this look an X not a “check” (excuse the pun). Preston’s jacket is quite nice by the way.

[@KunaiKrazy]

Prince of Wales check is too busy for my liking and window pane looks a little too big for me. Glen check is perfect along with tattersall. Runner up is plaid followed by an honourable mention to houndstooth.

[@adakastel5125]

hi I am a big fan. I wonder if you could do a how to say sorry (I don't found the right word but I am sure that you can understand what i mean) like a gentleman. kip doing what you do :)

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

They did that video. Search for it. It is good.

[@RizwanKler]

Top vid Preston 👍 I'm wondering if a pattern app exists to help recognise patterns? If da salesman doesn't know himself 😉

[@discordping5072]

I love all your content! Question: Is it ok to use metal buttons instead of studs?

[@eleanyaonuma9068]

I love this

WARNING: Grids, plaids, and, "Windowpanes," aren't for everyone.

There's just something about a high quality 3 pc. subtle Glen Plaid suit.

[@71M3L4PSE]

check please

[@smacwhinnie]

Wrong, plaid is a specific garment. The tartan garment that matches a mans kilt, but worn attached to the shoulder, draping down the back, for formal evening occasions.

[@Lycan_24_7]

Seeing a lot of window pane suits in 2021-2022 news reporters and sports commentators

Wow, you showed an image of my 3x Great Grandfather Edward VII at the beginning.

[@tonydeltablues]

lol 'stuffy upper crust types' :-)

[@lance-biggums]

I disagree with the point about patterned trousers flouting menswear tradition. There are plenty of photos and drawings from the 1930s and earlier with men wearing checked or striped pants with solid shirts and jackets. It's a good and classic look if you know how to pull it off

[@benderbendingrofriguez3300]

This dude looks like...Max Headroom.

[@michaelbell3952]

This style makes you look like a square, Preston!

Check out their video "How to dress up when others don't".

[@peterswe86]

@@dandiehm8414 I'm not kidding around or trying to hate on this channel, I'm just saying that this advice only impresses certain types of people. And it's not the types of people that I am usually around. I don't dress to impress myself, I dress for others. I wear sweatpants and I t-shirt when I'm home alone.

[@Methodsaimon]

@@peterswe86 well it seems like thats more a (you issue instead of the advice that was given! and dressing for others is a bit for the insecure or people with lack of confidence/originality this channel does nothing more than help people out in the journey of menswear in a good way nothing here is being forced its all up to you in the end!

[@gilbertorangel4127]

When i see checks i think of the minecraft grid pattern.... oh please do a video on video games for gentalman

[@MrDanielWP]

Fine weave check dress shirts are an abomination when worn with a suit and tie.

[@charliefinlay6555]

Very nice video, Mr. Schuelter. Please ,,,,may we dispense with the trite and offensive phrase.." these days" e.g. your reference to Gun Check...!!?? Gun Club check is Black, Rust, Gold and Green, period...and Scotland is the final authority.. PLEASE stop your patheric attempt at Americanizing the term. PLEASE ! Style is timeless , as you and Mr. Schneider should know well.!!!! Some of us gentlemen aren't interested in the attempt to destroy the original significances. One would not expect a response from either you or Mr. Raphael, as you never reply to anything. Thank you.

[@randysurratt9919]

Thank you Preston. I didn't know that.👍🏽.
