I know that this kind of comment gets commented daily, but here we go anyway. I am a 14 year old boy who has always loved jewellery and watches, but only a select few styles. I would look at a watch's brand first, and if it wasn't seiko, casio or tag or something like that I would look away, but through your channel I have broadened my horizons and am now a proud owner of an Invite Pro Diver (Pretty entry level and Homagey I know) and am in love with the whole watch scene. I didn't know that there was a community this big that loved watches! I also want to thank you for having this channel for the love of watches, as you have never done a paid sponsorship. Congratulations, YOU have inspired and crafted the next generation of Gentlemen! sorry for the long comment, but I think that your passion, charm and knowledge is greatly underrated any you deserve more credit and appreciation than you get. Thanks for inspiring me, Tom R

[@seanmaxwell3319]

Robbo same aged dude as you. Whenever I look on amazon I probably would buy a slightly more expensive Casio over a generic cheep-o digital watch. I want to proudly say “I have a 10$ Casio!” rather then a 2$ knock-off. I would buy a time-tested company’s product. I wanna be happy with that choice 10 yrs down the line you know! That’s why I just got a Seiko snk803 for my b-day. Really pleased about it.

Bring your whole life with you

[@henchdan1]

A nice selection of fragrances for different occasions and weathers is definitely necessary :)

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

My personal top 10: 10. Dark Wash Jeans - The most versatile piece of clothing there is. I prefer Levi's. 9. Rugged Boots - If you live in a country with cold winters, these are essential. Wear them everyday without much thought, and then give them a clean when you want to dress them up. 8. A Leather Jacket - Arguably the most masculine jacket there is. You just feel great wearing one, and no matter who you are, there's a style for you. 7. A Polo Shirt - Casual and classy at the same time. I prefer Lacoste for its petit piqué knitting, and because it's a brand with a sense of humor. 6. A Hat - Whether it's a baseball cap, a flatcap, or a fedora, it doesn't really matter. Every man should own a hat (that fits!). I prefer the brand Goorin Bros. for their timeless looks. 5. A Keychain Knife - I can't imagine not having a knife on me at all times, but a pocket knife isn't the best thing to wear around the city. Victorinox are known for their Swiss Army knifes, and they also make keychain versions. Essential. 4. A Signature Fragrance - Everyone should put as much effort into how they smell, as they do when it comes to how they look. Because how you smell can change someone's perception of you, regardless of how you look. 3. A Bicycle - If you live in a city that allows you to ride a bicycle, then you should. It's quite simply the best form of transportation there is. I love my Bombtrack Arise, it never lets me down no matter where I ride it. 2. In-Ear Headphones - Different from full-size headphones, you can have these in your inner jacket pocket at all times. There are a lot of great brands out there like Sennheiser, Shure, B&O, Beyerdynamic, and so on. Get high quality, don't settle for less. 1. An Everyday Watch and a Dress Watch - Everyone should have at least one of each.

I wear a lot of chronographs for their everyday usefulness. 2) Knife: I collect super high end knives (some are worth enough that I could sell one and buy something in the price range of a Tudor Black Bay. Chris Reeve's Knives are my favorite, they're the Rolex Sub of the knife world, Sebenza 25 with Micarta inlay and Damascus steel is my go to knife.

There are several inexpensive but well made traditional-style fountain pens available. I recommend the Pilot Metropolitan - black or silver ($15), Platinum Balance ($43), TWSBI Classic ($50), and Conklin Duragraph ($52). All available at Goulet Pens.

[@vladyarotsky5287]

Oh let me second that. Especially as for TWSBIs. TWSBI Eco is even cheaper than that and is very nice and appropriate. There is also Kaweco Al-Sport handy portable and durable. Two other options I have to mention are relatively pricey and feature gold nibs (actually of the cheapest to have it) but are kinda appropriate (for TGV personally and channel thematics overall). Those are Lamy 2000 that is true Bauhaus piece and Pilot Vanishing Point (aka Capless in some markets) that has a retractible nib. Also those who are not sure about quality of personal handwriting gotta at least try using stub nib - it will add character and kinda fanciness to the handwriting and also can improve it over time. One more thing. Whence you got into FPs you got into inks. And you have enormous variety of inks to chose from that are different in very many ways.

You don't have to spend 700-1500$ on a Montblanc or Montegrappa to enjoy fountain pens. You can easily enjoy a well writing fountain pen for at most double the cost of a jotter (which isn't very much). German made Lamy safari, or Faber Castel lume. Or even an entry level Japanese pen. Pilot metropolitans go for the same price of a jotter most places.

[@jeffscott4757]

One thing I have found to be very handy that I carry with me every day is a small pair of folding scissors. I have a pair I got for $1.00. I think they were made in China, I believe for embroidery. They are very small. The blades are only about an inch, but strong and sharp. The blades fold inside the cleft of the handles, so that they are safe to carry in the pocket. Super handy. I, as with my pocket knife, use these almost every day. They are great for mustaches, clipping open sealed bags, trimming loose threads from clothes, cutting down receipts, just everything. And, they’re not bulky at all. For a dollar, these have lasted me well over ten years or more. As for writing pens, I have a Fisher Space Pen (bullet w/cover type) I carry, always in my pocket. Kept one, wrote with it every day practically, and lasted for twenty years before having to replace it. How I kept from loosing it, I don’t have a clue, but, they are super pens and write quite agreeably, even under water. Also, not bulky, I think I payed a little over $14.00. Well worth the price. Just bought a new watch, a manual wind. It’s a Fanmis. Just classic style, a plain dial, leather banded watch, made by a Japanese Co. I absolutely love this watch. It is simple, yet classy looking. It has a glass back, so you can see the mechanism while winding. Great watch I got from Amazon. A good solid build. $90.00 A great price for this great quality. ...Anyway enjoyed your video. Interesting what others carry every day. Thanks and keep up the good works. 👍

I also carry an urban edc wallet for my pen and sometimes flashlight/swiss army knife. 2. A money clip: Coach makes excellent money clips. 3. A key fob: not really necessary but it adds a nice flair. I use a Mont Blanc key fob and I love it. 4. A pen: I usually carry a William Henry BA-2 pen. On occasion I carry my fathers Mont Blanc Nobless or my Fisher Space Pen. 5. A pocket knife: This varies upon circumstance but I have a Böker Scout that I love (German made), a good ole Swiss Army Knife, a CRKT Squid (a small but effective backup), a Böker plus Kwaiken Mini (black G-10), and a Spyderco Endura 4 FFG.

I switched to Ralph Lauren polo shirts because the collars hold their shape a little better than Lacoste. Also I can highly recommend some Clarks desert boots. I'm still rocking a pair I wore in university, 20 years ago. For a knife, I'd suggest a GEC Farm and Field Tool. Not quite as pretty or historic as a Laguiole, but it's another object that will last a lifetime. Also just a minor point, suits date from the Victorian era. with the Brooks Brothers pioneering both the 2 and the 3 piece. Nothing but love.

A firearm, whether it's a beautiful over/under shotgun or a classy bolt action rifle or a glock, I think a well rounded gentleman should have some form or familiarity with firearms. Of course that one is harder in some countries than others.

It doesn't have to be "loud", infact, most good system don't feel "loud", but they are very full and warm sounding. A real amazing experience when you listen to one the first time.

[@OguzhLP]

You're a nice guy. Do more videos like this one, different is better! Nice intro by the way!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, It certainly has been a while since I returned to the channels early themes. More soon hopefully! :D Best regards, TGV

I adore you line up sir! Bang on, Thank you for sharing, Best regards, TGV

[@terencedebruycker3840]

Good morning sir - I have been an ardent Anglophile since 1964 and seriously involved in Horology for the < past 3-4 years. Discovering your terrific presentations (Horologic and other) has made my 2 favorite addictions just that much more enjoyable with the added benefit of your beautiful UK accent (try to never lose this), At least from my somewhat biased perspective the accent just makes each and everything you say seem that much more significant and vital. Please keep up the fantastic job. All the best to you and yours.

Benchmade! My go to knife brand. You won't regret it. Best, MS

[@liamcarroll5270]

This dude should have more subs

[@anttilaitala8037]

Great list! Only two things I would add. I use a good hand made comb everyday and keep one always in my pocket. Second one is a great fitting M-65 field jacket with a removable liner, you can wear it really fashionably, even casually with a suit, and it is still a perfect casual, practical all year around jacket.

[@unacarafea567]

A bag? You mean a purse. How about just using a pocket and keep your make up at home. That's what this gentleman does!

[@MrJkca]

Beautiful Tudor as always. I've always loved the idea of having a knife on me everywhere but our UK law of not being allowed a locking mechanism really annoys me.

[@bradringhausen8671]

Jack check out Spyderco. They make several U.K. legal knives.

[@RondelayAOK]

Kind of an odd law. Locking knives are safer to use since they won't suddenly, surprisingly, bend/fold over on you when using it.

[@johnhenrydocholliday5804]

Sak,or an opinel and remove the locking system

[@WrongTimeWatch]

That makes no sense. Why are you not allowed a safety feature on a pocket knife?

[@pauldicker1679]

DonjonArmory a locked blade makes a far more effective weapon

[@felixunger3408]

This was cracking good fun TGV - keep it up matey.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear, thank you Felix :D Best regards. TGV

[@DBRIDGLEY1014]

I have an 96 member watch collection where each item is unique in some way, they range in price from $16-$3200. I love to view your videos as it is the only way that I will ever see the high cost watches that seem to be the choice of many blog sites. I was unimpressed wit b my Rolex GMT Master that cost me $295.00 back In 1970. It was the least accurate watch that I have ever owned, and the bezel faded so many times that Rolex sent me a package of ten bezel. I do have to admit that I did get more than I paid when I sold it three years later. Any way, I will continue to watch your channel, I have learned a lot from it already. Good luck with the new website! Dennis Ridgley

[@lshin80]

Governor, as for safety razors, check out the Merkur 570: it features an ajdustable head in height, so that you can get a perfect shave for your skin / beard type. I've been using it regularly since 2009 and I can attest its functionality. Paired with Feather or Kai blades (both Japanese) it becomes a superb tool! But beware: japanes blades are death machines! ;D

[@wireguided9572]

"Death machines" . Love it. They can be a tad sharp. LOL.

[@eddyborges2075]

Wireguided95 I am waiting to master the German blades, once I master the Japanese blades I think I'll be attempting straight razors.

[@johncard007]

I couldn't agree more Luca, I have a Merkur Progress (adjustable) and a fantastic Merkur slant - much better and always use Japanese Feather blades, the best in the world. Never heard of Kai blades, are they better than Feather? I must try them. And I must agree, they are the sharpest in the world!

[@lshin80]

They're equally sharp as Feather but a smidgen softer, thus a bit more surgical. All in all it's a matter of tastes, but they're worth a try.

[@scottrehak4076]

Benchmade, got one in my pocket every day! Best mass produced knife available.

[@MrRoyck10]

TGV you are a style icon and a gentleman with impeccable pedigree, thanks for sharing your tips on a morning that I'm heading into Harold's for tea. In exception of the knife which is an offensive weapon in England and, can lead to successful prosecution for points and blade if found in your possession in a public place without a lawful excuse. All the same nice tips for the fashion conscious Gentries.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much CKR. Enjoy tea at Harrods my friend! :D Best regards, TGV

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Great list. Mine: - Bag (also used as a liner for my motorcycle top case) - Pen (love Parker as well) - Sports Jacket - Quality Lighter (I smoke) - Quality Cigarillos and one proper cigar with a cutter. - Various speciality motorcycle gear since a bike is how I move through the world. - Wrist Watch

[@adrianmoyes2856]

"god knows the price of these, dont ask" what did you do steal it or something? quite amusing. very good video sir!

[@theurbangentry]

LOL Thank you Adrian :D Best regards, TGV

[@zombiesneedluv21]

I loved this video! My family does not understand that a gentleman should have nice things like this. I feel they think I am just sort of pretentious to want quality items which they equate to expensive. Like you said, spending a bit more to get a quality item, it will last a lifetime. Why buy many inexpensive bags over time, when a nice leather satchel will last you for years? It was interesting to see that we had almost identical items! My list, in no particular order: 1. Double-edge safety razor (Merkur, many old Gillettes); 2. Satchel (LM Leather); 3. Driving glasses (Serengeti); 4. University ring; 5. Pens - fountain (Montblanc, Pelikan, many others); 6. Casual shirts (Henleys, polos) 7. Shoes (Sebago, Sperry); 8. Pocket knife (Benchmade, Kershaw, others); 9. Watch (Breitling, Omega, others); 10. Flashlight (Mag-Lite).

[@henryr3158]

Cracking video TGV! Returned to the channel after half a year of absence and pleasantly surprised to find that nothing has changed! Congratulations on 158K subs, really great to see the channel has grown. Down to earth as ever! Yours, Henry :)

[@theurbangentry]

Glad to hear of your return and I hope all is well. Thank you for posting that, it really made my day. Best regards, TGV

[@henryr3158]

The Urban Gentry You are more than welcome Sir, you should be very proud. I can’t wait to go back through the archives on the website too! :}

[@pearsonator123]

[@SelviaResearch]

Persol is actually owned by luxottica. Acquired in 1995. Their glasses are actually made in the same factory that other luxottica brands (Oakley, Rayban, etc) are made. So definitely not handmade and definitely not made in the original factory.

[@micheilduncan3234]

Thanks for bringing this monopoly up, they own most brands and manufacture most in the same facility as you stated. A current listing of non-Luxottica brands would be nice.

[@epizzoli6104]

Actually Oakley is the anti-luxottica. And yes, Persol are still hand made in Italy

[@albertoamador9807]

Indeed Luxottica is a monopoly and only gives the client the impression of variety.

[@audionationpractice]

Every pair of Persol I own say “handmade in Italy”.

[@G1NZOU]

@@epizzoli6104 Oakley was bought by Luxottica in 2007.

[@ejames6431]

I love watching your videos! You are a cool guy, the James Bond of information!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much Ed, very kind :D Best regards, TGV

[@hiyukelavie2396]

I agree, hand carrying a bag/briefcase feels more elegant, but sometimes you just need both hands free, so a shoulder sling, although less elegant, is a practical way to carry the bag

[@nateranger783]

1. A well made and fitted suit, preferably a grey, tweed three piece one(can be dressed up and down, or used as seperates) but I don't currently have one of that description, Navy blue is good as well though. 2. White Pocket Square, I usually use a cotton one which I think works quite well. 3. A burgundy or navy, silk knit tie. 4. A french cuffed shirt. 5. Pair of mother of pearl cufflinks with a signs of wear so that it isn't overly shiny, or a pair of plain silver links. 6. Pair of dress boots. I could probably think of other things, but that's the most important for me at the moment.

[@aramkrikorian9460]

Who's the handsome guy with the monocle and mustache? 1) My watch 2-10) My firearm. That's it.

I take it you mean the chap in the intro? That would be my Grandfather GHW. Thank you Aram, Best regards, TGV

I thought so. You look like him.

A pistol is on my list as well. Gentleman carrying a pistol goes back long before any of us were born.

I love your commitment to your history and culture TGV. I applaude the true Gentry heritage you possess.

[@leovan4679]

Ok, When do we find out which Benchmade knife you ordered?

[@jebus88]

I'm also a fan of knives, got a couple of benchmades and buck knives. Even forged one from a railroad spike during a forging class I took in Redhook Brooklyn. But be careful carrying them in NYC, the state has some pretty strict knife laws with loose interpretation on what's illegal.

[@Xallov]

I agree with most (except stylish bag, the ring and sunglasses) All I would add: Decent headphones and a small notepad.

[@NickWalenda]

+1 on notepad

[@Christian_from_Copenhagen]

Thanks for reminding me of the Jotter! I learned to write cursive with it back in the day, and it reminded me of the exploding pen in GoldenEye. Turns out it's actually a Jotter! That click sound is something else. So happy to have one of my own again!
