Normally most kind of rain gear is polyester based not very stylish. So we focus on the elegant aspects.
The number one item of outerwear for a rainy day in my opinion is a trench coat. If you're wearing tailored clothes, it's just an extension in terms of originality, style and history of the suit.
The second classic option are rubberized raincoats. Back in the day, it was like rubberized cotton. Modern raincoats for gentlemen are often made out of synthetics.
The third option for gentlemen are classic casual wax jackets. Basically these are garments made out of cotton that have a waxy surface that creates a patina over time that's very sophisticated.
The fourth thing to consider for a gentleman are performance fabric that are based in a sartorial realm.
In terms of shoes and shoe care, I'm a big stickler for traditional leather dress shoes and most of them can bear some form of rain without a problem. Your feet will remain dry. If you pre-treat your shoes you don't have to worry too much.
For a regular calf leather shoe with leather soles I suggest you invest in a leather sole oil and sometimes you can also find water repellent sprays that you spray on.
The third option you have is to go with over shoes or galoshes.
If you're into Cordovan shoes, I suggest you really try to avoid wet weather with those because it can lead to very ugly water stains which are hard to remove.
So what if your leather dress shoes or your boots get really wet or soaked? Evenly wet the shoe. That seems counterintuitive but by adding water back into the shoe and letting it dry in a natural way without artificial heat, you will have a nice leather again that has no more water stains.
If you live in an area where it rains a lot or you have to deal with
floods regularly it pays to invest in some really sturdy rubber boots that are tall or rain boots that are 100% waterproof.
During the cold days of the year. A pair of unlined dressy leather gloves or even lined leather gloves that are waterproof can be a godsend.
A felt hat can be a great way to keep dry. They're usually made out of rabbit hair which is naturally water repellent.
The better option is to go with an umbrella because it's much wider and it really keeps you much drier.

I've owned a few trench coats. The longer you wear them, the more comfortable they get. Its like wear PJ's out of doors.

[@Epierce.]

I love how people will critique this man when they specifically come to here to learn how to actually dress. I personally have learned so much more about clothes from you sir. I have invested in my first pair of expensive shoes and I've learned how to pair colours so much better. Thank you kindly sir!

Truth. I bought my first pair of handmade Italian Oxford shoes based on Sven's videos about dress shoes.

Haha. Even more dangerous than thieves is my own absentmindedness. No matter how much I invest in an umbrella, I will lose it sooner or later. Excellent video as always!

[@ticktockbam]

How do you lose an umbrella? lol

[@ralphwaldomc]

Hi. Could you please make videos on how to dress up for the ff: 1. When you live in a tropical climate 2. When you are on a tour (e.g. comfortable yet stylish shoes other than sneakers that are good for plenty of walking -- summer and winter). Thanks!!

[@jamez6398]

If it's hot and raining, tropical weather. It's a hot, tropical, rainy summer's day, skip the trench coat. It will make you feel too hot. Just use the umbrella on its own.

[@timetravellingwardrobe8294]

OMG Thank you... I've been looking for the "rubber slippers" forever. Now that I know they're called galoshes it'll make the searching soo much easier. I have learned so much from you and your content you put out. Dankeschön

This has got to be on of the best videos you have ever made, it’s very helpful, especially since I live in the UK where it rains a lot.

[@williamormiston9100]

great video you always look dapper

[@simontuffen8243]

For casual jackets, a good alternative I can recommend to Barbour is the Swedish brand, Fjallraven, who make hunting and hiking clothing. They use their own very breathable cotton/polyester fabric which is waxable. I have both the insulated and non-insulated version of their Raven jacket, a hunting style jacket which is understated enough to wear anywhere, and has a fairly slim fit and high armholes.

[@anonanon7497]

Fjallraven is overpriced for what it is and doesn't quite have the same class as other alternatives..

[@theartistformallyknownasdi5338]

Glad you mentioned Private White. Great quality clothing.

[@AlexPagnoni]

Sven thank you very much for this video, it is very useful. In particular, I really enjoyed the part about shoes, I always needed this sort of information.

[@patrickclyde4931]

The umbrella is wonderful and I like how he teaches how to be a right gentleman

[@G0J0_Satoru717]

Have been waiting for this for a long time 😁

[@marycahill546]

Agree the trench coat is a timeless classic, and goes with anything. For years i have worn a navy 3/4 coat with liner from London Fog. For winter I have a gray wool trench for dressy occasions. I think the over shoe for men is a good idea -- the rubber will also help you avoid slipping on black ice in freezing weather. Don't spend a fortune on an umbrella -- basic black will do.

[@zBMatt]

Get the wax jacket if you are under 30 and above. Get the trench coat if you are over 30. Wearing a trench in places where younger people gather sometimes puts off a try hard, tacky, matrix inspired kind of vibe that you probably don’t want. It’s weird because overcoats and pea coats are basically just heavier versions of them visually, but it is what it is.

[@chelo4197]

You only look like a try hard, or tacky, or matrix inspired if the fit is off. If you dress to match a sartorial life, typically you are surrounded by people who also do so, so don't try to scare people off because of your fear of being judged.

[@kenneth7826]

As always great information... Don't stop!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!

[@threesons270]

When I want to look dapper in rain I pull off a blazer with a yesterdays Wall Street journal over the head. Very classic and people might think I’m a high powered stock broker

[@LukeVisinoni]

I just slap on old rubber chicken on my head and tie the head and feet together around my chin. Looks great and keeps me really dry

[@gplusgplus2286]

I had the chance to test drive my new burberry trench yesterday on heavy rain. Amazed at how well it handled the water. Thanks again for a great video.

Lately I've been liking the look of tall boots. I think a pair of waterproofed leather boots that resemble the older riding boot styles would go well with elegant men's clothing as well as being quite functional.

Hey Ralph I bought the pilot metropolitan you recommended and I’m really liking it. Thanks for your recommendation.

[@sandsmine]

ive been looking for a trench now for years, given up ordering online. I thought I would go the whole hog and get a burberry. when it arrived i could not see my hands with it on and the eupolets were halfway over the shoulder. i sent it back and over a week later with nothing i phoned up only to be told my money had been returned. usually when you order on line you receive a complimentary thanks there was nothing from them. i said you brag about being tailors to the british army and cant even get your sizing right. all the girl kept saying was choose another size. the only way id get another is if i went into their store. they are famouse for their garbadine cotton but is that 1914 coat the same spec as the present issue, somehow i wouldn't bet my house on it.

[@lindhe]

I'd love a video with thoughts on head wear for cold weather.

Is This Video Mixed To Be Quieter Than Usual? Is Anyone Else Having A Problem Hearing This Video?

[@avpimdb]

Any ideas on (re-)proofing trench coats? Aquascutum recommends to bring them to a dry cleaner. Though, I wouldn't trust dry cleaners as much as myself.

[@leocomerford]

You can also apply (or restore) Gore-Tex like waterproofing to clothes as well as shoes, using sprays like those from Nikwax. I assume it would work pretty well on most cotton-gabardine classic trenchcoats, for instance.

[@davidhunt1947]

Great stuff! Ignore the critics; people who are happy do not need to criticize others...

[@MatthewJBD]

Useful for the UK

[@somerandomguy5995]

Can you do a review on the brand John Henrics, especially their leather gloves.

[@babygerald4645]

Another great video, Sven. Could you please do a video on Cossack Outfits? [2:11] Thanks again!

[@jenniferelyse5134]

I feel like this is such an undervalued dress category for both genders. I still haven’t found my perfect rain coat. I have however found a wonderful umbrella that has lasted me several years. It’s of Japanese construction similar to their paper parasols (the framework) and it is impressively sturdy even in heavy wind. As a young, vegetarian female of unsubstantial wealth I don’t even relate to the majority of your videos but I love them anyways.

[@anonanon7497]

You're referring to both sexes, not gender. Gender is a term invented fairly recently, by Dr John Money, for the purpose of seperating stated identity from biological reality. I'll leave it to the reader to look up the controversy surrounding Dr Money and his experimental medical procedures.

[@historyjewelry]

Love your themes. Can you tell me please, what the protection you use for suede shoes for rain? Thank you very very much

Got to get me one those Burberry trench coat!

[@toddsmith9432]

Sven, I have a rather specific question. I own a traditional khaki double breasted trench coat and normally wear a flat cap with it. I am starting a new career in funeral services and wonder if I should get a darker color trench coat and opt for a more formal had, such as a fedora? Also, would it be proper etiquette to have an extra wide umbrella to offer rain shelter to funeral attendees?

[@Aquadug]

Would suggest Arcteryx Veilance or UBR. High end technical garments with a relatively elegant cut.

[@TheWhiteLily44]

Do you have a video on umbrella etiquette?

[@TraditionPatriotisme]

Hi there! Great video, what is the brand of the navy blue motorcycle jacket you are wearing? It looks amazing!! (Also what brand is the tweed cap you are pairing it with?) Thank you for all your hard work with the vids!!

[@putinputin9184]

I get by with a jumper or a tracķ jacket n sneackers but this gear looks pretty good I must say

[@rovercoupe7104]

I have a collapsable umbrella from Fortnum & Mason. It is very convenient and looks good. M.

[@abizitgill4310]

Can’t wait to whip out my galoshes so I can wear my air Jordan 4 retro in the rain

[@paulweber2035]

You should look up old german army Shoes called „Knobbelbecher“. They wont let any mud or rain in and look really good.

[@maxporter3756]

I bought a pair of fur converse and I bought spray for them because they are suede

[@mat2468xk]

Damn, I need that umbrella with the seat thing.

[@MikuHatsune12]

Could you imagine skiing in a trenchcoat that would be some total commitment haha

[@SaeedHojjati]

Nice video! Another good idea would be to also make one on "snow gear" with the Canadian climate in mind (where it gets down to -40 and snows for 6 months). Maybe introduce some nice shoe brands for walking on snow, ice, and slush. I really liked your shoe passion boots btw.

[@status101-danielho6]

If you're outside less than 30 minutes, you likely don't even need winter boots. I wear a pair of waterproof Geox Amphibiox dress boots for Edmonton winters, and it's just fine for ice and slush. I also use Accton galoshes over dress shoes, and it's okay, but I'd rather have ankle coverage in deep snow. Rubber galoshes are simply invincible on ice.

[@henryviera7825]

I just want more info on the seat stick umbrella from this video

[@antonmarkov1635]

Raphael, do you plan to make a video about spezzato? I’ve seen the article, but in-depth video guide with DO’s, DONT’s would be very helpful.

[@reesecripe5428]

George Fields he has a lot of other videos that address it indirectly like trad, how to dress your age(he recommends combinations for young men), etc so you can look for stuff like that

The rubberized Trenchcoat look really weird :D Great Video!

[@kletts42]

Great video (as usual)! I have a question. I live in St. Louis, MO. What do you recommend when it is warm. Most of our rain comes in the spring when it is in the 70s or above. Your outfit looks wonderful but I'd be sweating so bad it would almost look like I was in the rain. Thanks!

[@johns.5062]

i have a greyish seethrough trenchcoat material feels like some kind of plastic/vinyl and i found it still sealed from the 1950s update: googling around for it i found that its the one (exactly similar to) that "Bill" wears from the netflix show "mindhunters"

[@TigerDavidson]

Galoshes by the brand Tingly are the best bang for your buck.

[@mrgt3201]

In Yorkshire when it rains we wear t-shirt and shorts. Same when it snows.

[@amadejpesko]

I really like the moving picture at 4:08 and 8:27. Can you tell me where did you bought it please.

[@jakecavendish3470]

When it rains I like to get inside a massive bin liner (Americans would call it a trash bag, the French would call it a sac du poubelle, the Germans would probably call it einer Gerschübenflooferderzeinheimßrabbereissengrübber, or something like that). I put eye holes in it obviously, I'm not an idiot. It _really_ freaks people out after dark but the terms of my parole mean I have to be home by 3pm anyway so it isn't really an issue

[@jackeddemon]

What about Techmerino by Ermenegildo Zegna? Is that any good? Do you have any experience with that?

[@FlyinTonite]

Jesus Christ is this man pleasant. I stumbled upon your videos from another channel where I learned about your wallet (way too expensive for me but they look nice that black on red is very nice) and I gotta say this is a really neat channel.
