"Style" Thibodeaux: Get To Know Kyle (& FAQ)

[@themoderndandy713]

Kyle is the perfect compliment to The Gentleman's Gazette. He knows enough about more formal clothes to keep up with Raphael and Preston, but brings more knowledge about casualwear to the team. He's charming and polite as well.

[@christiancardenas2543]

Easily.👍

[@AndresOssa]

Agree. I enjoy the GG videos, but the only examples of style that I might actually follow are Kyle's.

[@FabricioSilva-ij8iz]

And is good the see a black man well dressed and not in stereotypical "ethinic" clothes. Most ethinical clothes are parodies of the real deal.

[@nutyyyy]

It's nice having a bigger guy on the team as well. I get a much better impression of what different outfits will look like on myself with Kyle modelling them than Raphael, Preston or the others. Though I'm European with a thick head of hair, I can definitely relate most to Kyle's style and attitude.

[@tteot1wph]

Kyle’s style is a great compliment to Raphael’s and Preston’s. Glad to see the GG channel grow

[@nate4730]

You guy's need to be your own cartoon. Gentleman's Gazette Saturday morning super team! Your characters can go around town solving crimes and being do-gooders for the community while being well dressed, driving classic cars, and having sweet gadgets. Catch phrases are a must.

[@FabricioSilva-ij8iz]

This must be one of the funniest cartoon ideas I listen in years!!! And some small tips of style for small gents and ladies too!!!

[@JoJo-xp6wr]

Finally Kyle broke out of his shell, he was a bit reserved and quiet

[@gentlemansgazette]

Yes,we all have different personalities and there is not just one way of style, or behavior or look. We want to show that gentlemen come in many different faces, shapes and forms.

[@JoJo-xp6wr]

Why do you say that like that's a bad thing? Did I misunderstand you?

[@blackwood3243]

@Robby Dey I know that, I'm asking Youssef what he meant.

[@DanaC-ne7bc]

Kyle is a well educated and confident man and it shows.

[@shakezmaybe3192]

You know, you being Black... I died at that line because I know Raphael being straight to the point. No hard feelings, Kyle. 🤣🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@shakezmaybe3192]

@Robby Dey I'm sorry but I'm not black for the fact that I'm a Malay. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Hahahah.

[@cyrilio]

Straight to the point. Love it

[@hertzbergjoakim]

Great addition to the team, Kyle brings a bit of the younger world to The Gentleman's Gazette. Though Preston is technically younger, as he did say in his FAQ, he's sort of the young grandfather (absolutely nothing wrong about that, so am I). He also brings some expertise about beards (I feel like beards were a bit underrepresented in The Gentleman's Gazette). Great choice!

[@AladeenofWadiya1]

[@nootnootasis1276]

Actually I've been waiting for this. I think the addition of kyle completed the gentleman trio.

[@EnKopp]

Since Kyle is a preppy boy can we please have more Prepp and Ivy League content? Great video aswell!

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

I will gladly watch this and get to know Kyle. These chill conversation type videos are the ones I want to see more of.

[@rodrigodepierola]

Kyle is on Team Beard, that's good. He's on Team Gym, that's my kryptonite; well, he couldn't be perfect. Really good addition to the GG:

[@bugrilyus]

Gym is your kryptonite? Every gentleman should strive for the highest standard in both mind and body!

[@rodrigodepierola]

@@bugrilyus Yup, but you can achieve a good body without going to the gym. I keep fit, but never in a gym.

[@bugrilyus]

@@rodrigodepierola I sense a baseless hatred and distaste of gyms from you. Sounds meaningless, a gentleman also must be a man of logic and reason and I see none here.

[@rodrigodepierola]

@@bugrilyus I hate them with the, rational, passion of a thousand suns. I can't imagine a sinlge thing from a gym that might be in any way ammenable to me. Keeping fit, sure,;pulling and pushing machines in a crowded, noisy place, I'd rather walk 100 meters barefoot over legos on fire.

[@msmlolmanpolybrige0335]

@@rodrigodepierola eh its fair, going to the gym is mainly to try and get really buff, if you want to stay fit you can work out at home

[@jayjay00agnt]

Kyle is a great addition and whose style I most closely align with. Having three great personalities but with such different looks and body types is a great asset to this channel. Kyle's is also the body type who I most closely resemble and we thicker/muscular boys need some representation in this space.

[@connormonnery6998]

I ❤️ watching Kyle!!! He’s a very fashionable & intelligent young gentleman. I ❤️ watching Preston also. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😃

[@huskymom234]

It’s good to see these 3. They each represent a different “age”and personal style . All of this is very important in business.

[@thomasjaggi3291]

Congratulations to Raphael, you have chosen the best two co-hosts. Just a great team 👍

[@Exjapter]

I love the sax riff which opens every episode, but in future edits can the volume be merged more smoothly with the content? It always feels like it is blasting by comparison...

[@lukeduenwald953]

Finally! I've been waiting for a "getting to know Kyle" video for months. Can't wait to watch 😊

[@georgegingrasbfamfa6723]

I had the excellent privilege meeting Kyle at the Menfluential conference in Atlanta 2020. Where I I also met Raphael. It was great speaking to both of them throughout the weekend of events but especially at the (I forgot), Bar-B-Q restaurant on one of the main roads downtown. 😁

[@gentlemansgazette]

How times have changed, right? It was a pleasure to meet you.

[@georgegingrasbfamfa6723]

@@gentlemansgazette I was sure I had a photograph of you and me Kyle but I cannot seem to find it. Perhaps 🤔 it was someone else’s phone? Though I did get one of Raphael and myself. I emailed him a copy awhile ago shortly after the conference.

[@baragoth]

Both Kyle and Preston has been excellent! A testament to Raphaels vision! The dynamic and variety this group offer is truly fantastic.

[@hazevthewolf178]

Mr. Thibodeaux! It's a pleasure to become acquainted with you.

[@MikeHaggarKJ]

When I saw this video, I thought "Thibodeaux" was some fancy sartorial concept, like a french sprezzatura or something.

[@billysinge8977]

Good guess though!

[@keithgarcia8826]

With a name like Thibadeuax. Kyle must have family roots in Louisiana. 😃

With Kyle, and the combination of his French last name and him being black etc. I automatically assumed he must be from either Louisiana or Haiti, I guess that’s my own deduction going crazy or something but I also thought of that question, “are you cajun?” Interesting to know he’s from Minneapolis though.

Hi from mid-Minnesota, Kyle! So many of us women like a well dressed man. My husband dresses well and I appreciate it. This is an educational and enjoyable channel.

[@velislavslavov1443]

Although it's fun to learn about how people dressed 100 years ago, I like that there is someone who understands the ground rules but applies them to outfits which people now would actually wear.

This video is long overdue! Can't wait to learn more about Kyle

[@Bahbahlatje]

All the Thibodeaus of North America descend from a single ancestor, Pierre Thibodeau, who was born in France and settled in Acadia (now New Brunswick, PEI) The Acadians were deported from Acadia between 1755-1765 first to the lower English colonies, France, and England, and eventually many made their way to Louisiana where they were known as the Cajuns. I am descended from Pierre, so Kyle is most likely a cousin.

[@hemigod2]

About that question he asked about visiting the past , the first thing I’d thought of was no cell phones 😫 second , RACISM🥺😱. Furthermore People that think of that question seem to forget that although we speak with the same words we vs the people of the past speak a total different language. Sure we share classic mens style as a common thread but to socialize in a past gathering with those people with their frame of mind would be extremely awkward . Most times your own parents have trouble understanding you , imagine a larger gap

[@johnfaustus1]

7:27 I don't know if it is wise to ask a Black man whether he prefers the 1920s/1950s over today...are you kidding lol. Although I know how the German guy feels!

[@thomasmills3934]

Its disappointing that these guys drive small foreign cars... ud think a classic gentlemen would want to drive a big luxury boat like a Buick or Cadillac...

[@JonathanWrightZA]

Speaking of bold colours, I am forever envious of the ability of black men to wear the colour orange due tot he way their skin contrasts with it. Here in Africa you may see (although it is usually northern central Africa) them wearing the robes associated with Muslim dress. And it makes me cry at how I could never pull that colour off, least of all if it is enveloping my entire body.

[@everydaythings2016]

Kyle look like Ice Cube ... but gentleman...

[@nateranger783]

Raphael's outfit looks really good today. I'm not a fan of the socks, I think they're not as close to the other colours in the outfit as I would like if it where me but the rest really suits him.

Bar bouncer? I don't see it, and I've known some bar bouncers. Good natured and even tempered are not characteristics I associate with bouncers, but are characteristics I associate with Kyle. Love his style too!
