[@shegerpeger884]

what an amazing channel! i am so glad i have found you! just watched all your videos at once! i have never watched someone who i like anything he says about clothes. I've decided to start dressing up as much as I can and wanted to buy myself a nice belt, i usually wear for uni a cotton t shirt + a barbour jacket and black jeans with black sneakers/boots. i wanted to order myself a nice black leather- silver buckle belt for my black jeans. i am looking for a good quality belt and i dont want it to be logo branded (such as H hermes or LV and so on) so i want to keep it clean yet to have a very high quality, can i have some brand recommandation from you please man? i would more than want to follow your advice on this case. thanks in advanced!

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you so much, man :) I really appreciate that. You're probably one of the best dressed people at your uni I reckon. I personally have a belt from Charles Tyrwhitt that I'm pretty happy with. Spier & Mackay is also a good budget-friendly option, but all of their belts at the moment have golden buckles, which is a bit more tricky for me to combine. Both brands are around $50 I think. Slightly more pricey (around $100), but great quality belts, would also be Natalino, Shoepassion (EU only I think) and Herring Shoes.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

@@shegerpeger884 Thanks for your reply and thanks for sharing my channel :) Much appreciated, my friend. That's awesome. I didn't dress classy at uni, so you're on the right path pretty early on :) Great job. Which country do you live in? Then I can give you a better recommendation for brands. One brand that I can highly recommend is Spier & Mackay. They have some very decent prices for e.g. chinos plus they regularly have 20% off and their chinos have some nice features like side adjusters and pleats. When you buy the pants, you can choose between slim and contemporary fit, and you can cross-check your body measurements with their size measurements to see which one is right for you.

[@JimBobe]

Which belt do you recommend for someone in an office setting, and a budget of 50-100 for each belt. Id like a dark brown and black belt.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching, Jim. Meermin would be my top choice, followed by Spier & Mackay and Charles Thrywhitt

[@JimBobe]

@@Lukas_Schanderl Awesome, i’ll take a look at them later. Thank you!

[@JimBobe]

@@Lukas_Schanderl just bought 3 belts from Meermin! (Black, dark brown and tan). Thank you for the recommendations - the belts look amazing and I cant wait to get them!

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Fantastic :) I hope you enjoy your purchase, Jim 👏

[@johnnyrosa2114]

What color belt would you recommend to black and white dress shoes with a black cashmere suit with purple silk lining

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching, Johnny. In this case, I would recommend a black belt as well, so it fits with the color of the shoes and the suit.

[@johnnyrosa2114]

@@Lukas_Schanderl i think that too. Thanks for your answer gentleman

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

@@johnnyrosa2114 Thank you, Johnny :) Sounds like a fine suit btw 👌

[@LS-qs6is]

@@ralph9899 I bought that one from Charles Tywrhitt. I like that it's a reversible belt and the quality is pretty good for the price. Meermin is also a fantastic brand for affordable belts, even though they are mainly a shoe manufacturer.

[@RC-qc2nz]

Welche Hosen weite hast du? Und welche Gürtel Länge? Z. B. 34 weite und 100er Gürtel? Das mit dem Leder matchen ist richtig wichtig. Das war mir früher auch nicjt bewusst 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Danke dir :) Gute Frage :D Ich hatte das bisher fast immer falsch ausgewählt in CM. Manchmal war der 105cm Gürtel zu kurz, manchmal zu lang. Irgendwie messen die Hersteller das manchmal unterschiedlich. Wie machst du das normalerweise? Habe auch eine 34 Weite und dann bei Charles Thyrwitt im Sale einen Wendegürtel in 36 gekauft. Der hat dann endlich super gepasst Muss

[@RC-qc2nz]

​@@Lukas_Schanderl alles klar. Ich nutze normalerweise keine Gürtel mehr. Bin ebenfalls bei einer 34 weite und 32 er länge bei einer Größe von 1,90m. Charles thyrwitt muss ich mal ausprobieren. Ich habe schon viel gutes von denen gehört. Tatsächlich hole ich meine meisten Klamotten von C&A Premium. Schuhe natürlich shoepassion

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Ah lustig, Dann haben wir ja eigentlich die selbe Größe. Bin auch 1,9m und habe W34/L32. Bin selber auch nicht so ein Fan von Gürteln. Wäre super wenn alle Hosen eine Seitenriegel hätten. Wie ist C&A Premium? Muss ich mal ausprobieren.

[@RC-qc2nz]

@@Lukas_Schanderl haha perfekt, dann hast du ja die perfekten Maße und ich weiss werlch ehosen passen würden und welche nicht, bei deinen Videos 👌 Ja die sind ganz gut geworden. Natürlich muss ich jetzt Charles thyrwitt probieren

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Stimmt :D Das ist echt praktisch. Ich gehe nur seit Januar nach fast 2.5 Jahren Pause wieder ins Fitnessstudio und muss jetzt leider fast alle meine Klamotten verkaufen, weil kaum was passt 😅 Zum Glück war das meiste Secondhand, aber da sind schon einige Kleidungsstücke dabei, die ich sehr gerne mag. Haben die auch gute Leinen Klamotten für den Sommer?

[@srishtikhanna3963]

Where is your belt from? Please advise i want to to buy it for my partner.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thank you. It's from Charles Tyrwhitt, but Meermin is another great company for belts.

[@patrickjames2669]

Lukas just buy a Kore track belt and cut it to your exact size and use the track to adjust it Sorry but much better than that belt your wearin

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Thanks for watching, Patrick. I get the appeal of the Kore belt, because it's super convenient, but for me personally, I prefer a more classy looking belt.

[@user-yz5mn2go2d]

​@@Lukas_SchanderlThat's a fair point. But as someone who's worn both, ratchet belts and traditional belts, that "classy" looking belt will soon look tattered, sloppy, and unprofessional once the hole gets stretched out and the buckle/prong start creating creasing/peeling in the leather. I recently tried Kore Essentials and not only is it convenient, but due to the ratchet system, this thing will continue to look great over time.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

@@user-yz5mn2go2d I agree. That's probably the major downside with any traditional belt. It's a bit annoying to replace them that often. Would be awesome if there was some kind of blend between the 2.

[@Clyne69]

I always wonder why belt seems overpriced

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

I know what you mean. Especially because we have to buy them regularly 😅 I try to go for side adjusters whenever possible

[@rlkinnard]

Who needs a watch except perhaps one to monitor your sports performance. Almost everyone carries a mobile phone and that includes Warren Buffett.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

It's not really necessary, but it's a beautiful accessory and often people also appreciate the craftsmanship.

[@cortesimerci35]

1-it tells time without putting hands in the pocket, so its quicker. 2-you can check the time while your hands are occupied , holding a rifle, driving a bike. 3-its physical analog dial and not a screen, so thats a relief on its own 4-it has independent energy source, so you dont need to charge it and depending on technology used, solar watches can be 15-20year without battery exchange. 5- depending on a design its more rugged it has sapphire and 100-200m water resistance, so its really hard to break it unlike phone. 6-Less is more. Simple time only dials cause less dopamine intoxication. 7-Class

[@rlkinnard]

@@cortesimerci35 sure, I can wait until I can safely put my hands in my pocket to check the time. I have given up on class.

[@walterfoyt5985]

When you are wearing a suit you shouldn’t be wearing a belt. With a suite you should either have side adjusters or wear suspenders. A belt destroys the line of a suite. This is especially true with a three piece suite.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

Great points. Thank you, Walter

I've seen men who wear Gucci and Louis Vuitton belts with dress pants. One of the stupidest combinations I've ever seen. I wear a simple belt from JcPenney and boy do I look good.

[@Lukas_Schanderl]

I agree :) Thanks for watching, Kevin.
