[@vegasrenie]

I kind of disagree. Even though I am now retired (70s, ugh), if I'm going out someplace I try to look a little "better" than usual. Of course I'm not wearing the same clothes I would wear when I was in the workforce, but I do wear nice slacks and some printed tunic dresses, for instance. They fit my age better. Most of my shoe choices are strappy sandals, pumps, and ballet slippers. Of course I have my share of flip-flops and sneakers! All of that being said, I think men just seem to shine when they are very well dressed. Even an average looking guy seems to turn handsome when he's dressed in a three-piece suit!

[@carltrotter7622]

As someone sitting here, quite happily, in my bedroom with my bow tie on, my favorite suit jacket, and at my vintage desk. I realize I have never been happier in my life. That is all thanks to this channel's enlightenment on classic menswear and living. I don't doubt that this is the same story for many other viewers and thank you for doing this for us. I've been obsessed with this channel since I was 13, and 5 years later my love for it grows. To all those still developing their style, stick to it - there are loads of benefits!

[@keshavrao212]

How does your love grow more? Mine has been diluted to sparse interests in those, and just have that commitment to a sartorial lifestyle, I need to grow more love for it, as used to do a while ago.

[@carltrotter7622]

@@keshavrao212 Once you have that sartorial lifestyle, it's about then constantly poking and broadening your comfort zone. For example, my profile picture is a Top Hat - I never thought I'd manage to pull off a top hat without looking clownish and now I can do it and only look half-clownish. Try incorporating spectator shoes, or try going for a more english cut in the jacket, try experimenting with double breasted jackets, or try matching that hideous shirt with your new suit etc. Like with anything in life, whether it be business, friendships or relationships - If you don't take risks you won't have fun. I wish you the best of joy and success in your stylistic trip! Godspeed.

Honestly I agree with all the points in this video in a heartbeat. Though I'm only 19, I've always thought that I could put my best foot forward in the clothes that I wear and I began to take an interest in my clothes since I was 14. Even as I grow up, I would continue in dressing my best in a classic way (in Sport Coats, Blazers, Suits, Odd trousers and Chinos, Dress Shirts and Dress Shoes) will ensure that when I look at my childhood I could proudly say that from a young age, I didn't dress like my peers and blended in but I dressed really well and stood out in an elegant and classic way.

I absolutely second wearing classic hat styles and high waisted trousers. Fedoras can really top off a look although they get a bad rap because a lot of men don't coordinate them well with their outfits and it looks sloppy. I don't think they'll be as popular as they once were, but they can still look very dapper! High waisted pleated trousers, and gurkhas for that matter, have become my best and most comfortable pants. I got a few pairs made-to-measure in wool, linen, and cotton in neutral colors -- and I can easily say they have become a core part of my capsule wardrobe. All that said your channel has definitely become a positive influence in the way I look at classic menswear!

High rise pleated trousers are really hard to find these days. Everything else one needs to look dapper is still readily available. Just takes a little time to look for it. French cuffed shirts, nice sports coats, vests, overcoats, hats, dress shoes, dress watches, it's all still there and not only luxury items but in the medium price range if one is on a budget. Key is to know what one's doing but for that we have Gentleman's Gazette and their extremely helpful videos.

I have my own confirmation bias but I definitely subscribe to these ideals of spending more but buying less to get more value per wear. Furthermore, I had never thought that I would enjoy wearing braces/suspenders but they are far more elegant and comfortable; plus I never have to worry about my shirt untucking or constantly pulling up my pants.

I've been collecting vintage watches for a few years and I've always been impressed by the quality of each piece.

Had a toppy put on day one, worn in rotation every day since and still like new, took some breaking but well worth it. Have not bought another pair of black work/dress shoes (I am a suit guy) since.

[@G1NZOU]

My favourite pair of pyjamas are a lovely traditional cut set from M&S that are blue with a koi design pattern and navy piping on the collar, they just make me happy when I wear them. What I like to do with my watches is change out the straps for different occasions, a NATO strap is very practical when I'm hiking or doing any watersports, while a leather strap makes a watch look dressier. I own a few vintage watches that only one of them came with the original strap, so I took the opportunity to buy some really nice alligator, lizard skin, and rayskin straps for them so they can look great with my outfit.

[@offbeatbassgear]

Any consideration to doing an episode of "Is it Worth it?" focusing on the iconic aluminum luggage line made by Rimowa? I'm a big fan of the art-deco derived design, but I'm less knowledgeable on whether or not its worth the additional cost to purchase a Rimowa versus the lesser priced lines that appear to be just about equal in design and quality? Thoughts on this?

Funny, as started watching this Swedish tv talked about some treasure trove of vintage, never worn, clothes from some store or warehouse. Loads of clothes from the 40’s - 70’s. They are now being sold in Stockholm. I would have loved to go there and get some 40’s - 50’s suits, shirts and coats.

[@charlotteice5704]

I'm butch so I find that a masculine style really suits who I am. I first want to extend a big thank you to the Gentleman's Gazette - although this channel may at first seem to be the most vintage fashion focused of them all, it's actually among the most timeless men's fashion channels on KZbin, unlike all those cookie-cutter men's channels telling men that they HAVE to dress a certain, trendy fitting way (looking at you, tight-fitting suits) and that they have to have a certain body type to even be attractive. I really appreciate the emphasis put on creating your own personal style, using the rules of classic fashion as guardrails and a means to create good looks more consistently while working with your body's features, not against them. This is helping me immensely in seeing more formal fashion as a way of expressing myself at occasions where I want to shine instead of something constricting. Today, I was at a celebration honoring this year's statewide best graduates from apprenticeships, and I'm super happy that I get to attend the national one as well as I placed best in my entire country. While previously, such occasions would taunt me months in advance because the fashion side of things was so overwhelming, I now have a really basic formal wardrobe and today, I really enjoyed dressing up for the occasion and I felt really confident, all thanks to your advice. It was sad to see how many of the guys there did not know how to dress properly, with linen shirts with button down collars paired with a suit, pants so long they were really bunching up at the bottom and buttoned lower buttons on suits.

[@SaitekFreak999]

My tip for shoes: Check the used market. I have bought so many of my shoes used, because some people sell their shoes after only a handful of wears because it's only then that they notice they do not fit them. I got a 400$ pair for 50$ that has only been worn once because the guy took the new shoes to the cobbler, had a rubber sole protector glued on, then noticed the pair was too small, but he could not return it anymore for obvious reasons. It is my favorite pair right now. Another pair I got was completely neglected, sold for 30$ (300 new) and was looking like new after one hour of shoecare.

I'd love to dress up more, but man, finding nice looking clothes that fit and aren't hot and tight seems like an impossible task.

Great video! Could you do a video on the first socks you should buy?

[@gentlemansgazette]

As it happens, we're working on putting one together! Stay tuned!

My take away is they did EVERYTHING better than we do now 😂

I noticed in the vintage pictures the men all appeared tall and fit.

TAC Pants are good for Weapons training or The Range, but no way would you see me wearing these on a casual outing.

Charlie Watts was the only man from the modern era who embodied the vintage man, in my opinion.

[@davidnorth9390]

Agree: Mr. Watts was TOPS, -- but in company with Bryan Ferry -&- Robert Palmer

[@buckplays6518]

You know what men wore better in the days of yore? Their own bodies. They were generally very fit and athletic and rarely obese.

I've been curious about the suits people wore while doing outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, etc. I have seen artwork of Englishman wearing sports coats and boots.

Look up the "English country gentleman" style

@@Redneck_Wizard thanks :)

In the hat section you flashed a hat colour match to fabric chart. do you have this full chart available ?

[@smileygarza1108]

Hi I’m hoping you get back to me because I have a wedding in June that I need to dress for. I was wondering if it would be wise(because I’m on a very very tight budget and can’t afford everything all at once) to sort of build a suit so to speak. With one psycheck buy the trousers, with a different paycheck buy a wastecoat, another paycheck but a jacket and so on and so forth, and getting them tailored as you purchase and go along?

I would love to see you fine fellows do a thrift shop challenge and get a guest to judge your outfit.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Well, the problem is sizing. Some would have a much easier time than others finding stuff.

[@James_I_Archer]

@@gentlemansgazette of course but that is what makes a challenge. I appreciate the response or perhaps you style a guest and the other hosts mark out of 10 just an idea which I think the gentleman’s gazette would pull off rather nicely

@4 Trousers - 13:03 “”Other things…?” Hilarious. A Gentleman needs a good sense of humor, too.

[@keshavrao212]

What does that mean?
