I'm so glad you said Christoph Waltz was one of your favorite performances. One of my all time favorite movies with some of the most iconic cinematography

[@padre2275]

A trick I learned many years ago, was before washing your jeans for the first time, turn them inside out and put them in the dryer for 45 minutes to an hour. I was told that this "bakes" the dye into the fabric and keeps them from fading quicker. All I know is that it seems to work for me.

Hey Antonio I must thank you for this video. It has been my choice too .. Polo T shirt and Jeans. I am 70 + now. But I stick to this outfit.

[@MikkosFree]

Hey man, I could really use some advice. I recently lost my right leg, above the knee amputation. I am saving up for a prosthetic. I don't want to hide it, as I think it's better for it to be showing, rather than having to explain a strange gait all the time. How would you recommend dressing for this? I know it's a strange question. I lost my leg, doesn't mean I want to lose my style too.

[@Olyfrun]

Hey friend, sorry for your troubles. You ask a really great question though, I think a video about dressing difference could be very beneficial.

[@TuesdayShark]

I would cuff pants at the point where your future prosthetic starts. While it might look like half shorts half pants, I think with the prosthetic, it makes sense (pants also can get caught in prosthetics, I believe).

[@Victor-Vargas]

I have the perfect pair (for me) from Ralph Lauren. I might have paid a little more than I would for Normal jeans but they fit me well, they're a dark wash w/ matching dark stitching(instead of gold), and they fit over my cowboy boots perfectly.

I’m telling you, dark wash Goodfellow Blue Jeans (slim) from Target have been surprisingly the best jeans I’ve ever worn. Personally I feel they go well if I wanna dress up but keep it a little casual, and they have been super durable and haven’t really changed in color after rocking them for over a year. Keep in mind I only wear them a couple times a week if that, but still really solid all things considered. About $45 if I remember right, so IMHO very excellent for the price.

Hello Antonio.... i been following your channel for years, now its my turn to ask you about bolo tie, whats the proper way to wear it and where and what occasion... thanks u

[@Highland_Paddy]

Nice bolo ties can actually be considered formal wear, but then you would need a tuxedo shirt that doesn't have a typical bow tie wing collar. They won't work very well with t-shirts or polo shirts or the other stuff that these fashion guys tell you is acceptable semi-formal wear that actually is NOT acceptable semi-formal wear, but any short-sleeve Western shirt can still go with a bolo tie as long as you fix the top button same as long-sleeve, but typically most people would say wear them with long-sleeve shirts and a Western sport jacket or suit.

[@LifeAndFaithTogether]

When dressing for church or for going to an office I often wear dark jeans (blue or black) with roper boots polished to a high shine, a button down shirt, a sport coat, and a Stetson Open Road hat. So here’s the question, when dressing up cotton pants, including denim, should they pressed and creased or not? Personally, for a dressier setting, I prefer to wear pants that are pressed with a sharp crease. Others say no. I’m curious to know your thoughts.

[@rediius]

My denim jeans and chinos get the wrinkles pressed (ironed) out, but I don't put fore & aft creases into informal trousers. In fact I rarely bother even with my normal suits until I get to black tie. In my opinion, that's like wearing a necktie with a polo shirt - sure it can be done, and don't let anyone mandate your personal style, but risks coming off as a little too try-hard. Again, all my opinion, and you are free to disagree. I just had to stop and tip my own Stetson Open Road in Silverbelly back at you. Have a great day!

[@Highland_Paddy]

George Strait wears creased jeans on that one album cover, so go with that if you're not going to buy proper pants for nicer occasions.

[@JWG-rx8jd]

I purchased a polo from Collars and Co. and I was dissspointed in the qulaity for the price.

[@walterfoyt5985]

[@KENICUSONE]

For the price Collars & Co could have done a better job with the fabric. A pima cotton or a cotton pique with the dress collar would be perfect.

[@racegascustoms]

Collars and co are a good idea in theory. I bought 2 shirts and they fit great and are good for hot weather but the material is straight underarmour golf shirt. Even in navy blue it does not dress up at all. Wish they had a dressier fabric.

Like the video but looking for more selvage demin and maybe one day talk more in detail about it and if it worth the price. Bonus points for helping show where to get a good pair selvage or not

[@Highland_Paddy]

There's 8 million selvedge denim vids, but if you're trying to figure out which ones are "worth" the price, then none of them will likely suit you because they usually cost way more than you're likely to spend. Would you consider Unbranded worth $100 or more if they have too low of a rise? Would you consider Levi's worth the price if they are rigid but not as heavy weight and don't have creative striped piping? [I don't know how many selvedge vids he's already done, but I suspect he has at least one...]

[@georgejones5019]

Selvage seems like a niche fad. It's for hardcore denim fans or people looking flex money or waste money.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Not entirely, because I was looking for the odd pair that were heavier weight than typical jeans now, but the prices drive one out of the market pretty quickly for many of the hipster brands that get all the attention.

[@dankelly]

To tuck or not to tuck? That is my question for means and polos and jeans and button downs.

[@Jazz_Otter]

Personally, if your shirt is patterned in plaid or floral or something, leave it untucked. If it’s a solid color I’d say it could go either way as long as your belt looks good. If you’re wearing a jacket I’d say tuck regardless?

[@Highland_Paddy]

Polos have a square hem because they are meant to be untucked. They are strictly casual shirts, same as denim jeans.

Do you have an opinion on grey denim? I picked up a pair of grey Levis 505 that I wear. Too casual or not? Personally I think not because they are a similar shade to my grey casual pants

All denim is casual. Grey is just another color option.

[@Mac3622]

@@Highland_Paddy I was referring to the context of the video where Antonio talks almost exclusively about dressing up dark blue or black denim. Everyone knows denim is casual. There's a reason I have four suits and a tuxedo in my closet

[@Highland_Paddy]

No, EVERYONE does NOT know that denim is casual, apparently, or people wouldn't wear it to weddings and job interviews and such for decades now already. But if you're such a style master already, then how do you not know whether grey denim is TOO casual without asking a guy who gives meh advice a third of the time and then saying that they AREN'T too casual in YOUR opinion, anyway? Hint: Again, THEY ARE.

[@georgejones5019]

​@Highland_Paddy Depending on the style. If it's low contrast with a matching or darker stitching, without fading or rips. You can make jeans, smart casual, or even business casual. To add, I'm in the IT space. So, clothing options can range from field work to corporate office offices at the C-suite level.

[@Highland_Paddy]

@@georgejones5019 Yes, people wear all sorts of horrible clothing combinations now in professional settings and to weddings and such, but that doesn't make them correct just because nobody is pointing out why they're wrong in public and then vids like this supposedly reinforce their Fashion Status or something. Jeans don't have enough refined features and they are typically intentionally associated with Work Wear no matter how you slice it.

[@silverjohn6037]

One point that wasn't covered was what color the visible stitching should be. Personally I'd say white stitching on a traditional indigo pair of jeans just looks wrong. Like they were made by someone who'd had jeans described to them but never seen them in person to know that the thread should be a yellow/gold.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Um, one is a more traditional Western look whereas the other is maybe a throwback Navy look, so I'll allow it.

[@georgejones5019]

I prefer matching stitching to the color of the jeans or one that's darker. High contrast stitching, especially the yellow/orange to blue is horrendous to dress up.

[@russellbogrett605]

I own only a couple pairs of jeans, I have gone months without wearing them. I work in a suit and tie six days a week. If I go out after work I just take off the tie. My day off if I'm out running errands it's usually khaki's and a button down.

[@Highland_Paddy]

They are fairly overrated pants for most situations. Most "working" men don't really need denim, either, but they are typically less expensive, blah, blah.

[@va6gkthaskey311]

Im a firm believer that unless you are in a construction office and will be out on a site. Denim has no place in an office or ever being dressed up. At points of my life i have been guilty of trying to over dress jeans and wish i hadn't. Chino's are a more comfortable, casual, "dressier" way to go. Keep the Denim/jeans for work wear. As a guy that has wore jeans my whole life, they are NOT comfortable, yet they serve a purpose. Ps. Stop rolling your jeans, again it was and is a sign you cant afford to buy the right size or get them tailored, not a fashion statement!! I agree with you about the dryer, all my clothing including "work" clothes are hung dry. Thanks for the video as always i enjoyed it!! Cheers

[@Highland_Paddy]

Yep. But rolling jeans is a fashion statement for a couple reasons now: To show off the selvedge denim detail or to look more retro from the 50s.

@@Highland_Paddy of course im just grumpy and have never understood why people want to dress up and look like myself and others who beat the hell out of ourselves for work. But yet have pristine skin, perfect nails and hands that havent seen a physical labor. If some how i didnt notice any of the above the first handshake will tell all. Its painful to watch a boot review and hear them complain about speed hooks on the upper shaft because it takes a way form their style. Most boots are based from military or some kind of labour based job. Speed hooks are part of all that. Besides if they wear their pants properly no one would ever see the speed hooks. 🤷‍♂️ The whole selvage denim craze hurts my head as well. It isnt comfortable, they are paying far to much for a pair of pants that ultimately suck!! Denim only looks good when its worked in and has fresh dirt & oil rubbed into it and you shouldn't be wearing that anywhere but while you are working. Pre-Riped, pre-stained or looking new is just wrong on so many levels 🤣 Even a cheap pair of dress pants or Chino's feel a hell of a lot more comfortable. Not to mention look so much better when they actually fit you right. Like i said im grumpy and probably old before my time 🤣 in my late 40's. My opinion isnt worth much these days especially when it comes to fashion. I just hate paying over inflated prices for work clothing because people have decided its fashionable 🙄

[@sammyb1651]

Some Japanese denim is absolutely beautiful. It's made the way the fabric was first made and exhibits all the characteristics that first made the fabric so beloved. Unfortunately capitalism/the shareholder value movement has diminished the quality of denim for decades. Imagine what happens when all the major labels make slight economies every year for half a century in order to boost profits. You don't notice any difference from one year to the next but after literally decades of cost savings the fabric bears no resemblance to the original cloth. It's honestly just crap for the most part. All that said, very few denims can/should be matched with blazers etc or "dressed up". In all but a few very well executed cases it ends up looking tragic.
