Myself be in Denver this Sunday area of Atkins CT if you like to meet the Sartorial Trucker and Gentleman in person
I'm not sure what you mean.
Great looking dinner suit!! Hope you enjoyed the opera. Saw Don Giovanni at the Met a few years ago…def a classic!
@@daniell2217 it was a fantastic event! Such a beautiful performance.
Tan and white is amazing, I wore my with med blue shirt with white colar. Blue and white pocket square.
@@SQ_og that's an awesome look 😎
He is that guy!
@@jasonrichardson0369 You know it 😎
So tough to find footwear that fits flat feet; it’s like shoemakers got zero love for us flat-footed folks!
@@asian_mando you're preaching to the choir 😔 it's tough for us flatties.
Proud of your success! Wish you all the best moving forward!
@@gentlemanrated thank you very much sir.
Yeah, I miss those prices :(
Awesome video brother 👍 👌 👏
Very much appreciated sir.
@@AstepAbove21 You are welcome.
“Cohiba baby, we here” 😂 Be blessed bro.
Lol, absolutely! We here😎
Loved your honest reaction to being there. As someone who’s never lived > 10mi from an ocean, it was really interesting to hear your reaction. Enjoy the rainforest tour! I did a rainforest zip line tour in PV about 20yrs ago. Was a blast.
Thank you very much. It was a new experience for me and one that I'm very thankful for.
Hope you enjoyed! Always nice to see you posting and having a good time!
I appreciate you very much. It was an amazing experience. Part 2 is coming soon 👍🏾
Just found your channel. Subbed* 👏 Saving up for a private white permanent style tweed overcoat myself 🍻
That's going to be a very handsome coat.
Sage/Olive is so underrated for Spring and Summer. Good purchase.
I'm very pleased. I received a complaint the same day I wore it.
@@AstepAbove21you meant compliment I’m sure lol.
@@jasonrichardson0369 😂😂 Correct.
Very nice style sir. Field/safari jackets are such a great way to have elevated casual layers if you don't want to wear a sports coat. I do t think you have too much to worry able with shrinkage as long as you wash on cold and don't try to put it in the dryer. Linen is a pretty stable fiber but it will soften in time as you said. Congrats on the first purchase from Spier & Mackay, it can become addictive.
@@kbrett2004 it is a great casual piece to have in a wardrobe. I have worn this jacket so many times and it is my go-to piece in the summer. I'm looking to add a belted Safari jacket if I can find one.
Impeccable style, man
Definitely prefer linen to cotton. It wrinkles much more elegantly. Good to see you back. Keep going!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have some gems coming very soon 🔜
Point of corruption. Alden never used JR Rendenbach's leather soles on their shoes. The leather soles they used are not Oak bark but of poor quality that vanishes by the edges. 10:17
Enjoyed the video. I've got four pairs of Ft Belvedere socks. Outstanding quality and love the design. I realize I'm late to this video but here's a suggestion: do these reviews while sitting or standing at a table or desk so we can see the products better. Also, don't drop the background music. It's too distracting. Finally, take some shots of wearing the socks.
Well put & best of luck moving forward!
Huge congratulations to you, my man. I know that owning/running my own business isn’t for me, but I’m really happy there are people like you out there who take the leap. Much respect.
Congratulations and good luck!
Sharp!
Great to see you still at it. The lifestyle vids are a welcome addition to the norm.
I greatly appreciate that. Thank you sir.
Beautiful blazer, and great pairing with the tie. Style for days, bro. If you leaned into it, I think you’d have 10k subs in 2wks.
That means a lot. Thank you so very much 🙏🏾
Not cordovan.
Yes, they are Cordovan. I can assure you.
@@AstepAbove21 they have deep creases, just tje colour is cordovan.

I'm slowly getting somewhere, sometimes it feels like no progress has been made though.
Keep at it 👌🏾
Shes running ROUGH
Good?
I certainly need to up my sock game. GG and Kirby are out of my price range especially with the current exchange rate. I do like GGs stripped socks being vertical and the idea that you can tie the two colors into your outfit. It may sound odd but I did first try women's knee high socks that looked suitable for men in color, thickness and texture; just to see how knee high socks would feel. It was a game changer to not feel like I had to keep pulling up my socks.
Trust me, try Mes Chaussettes Rouges. You will not be disappointed.
3 year old video but first one I am watching of yours. As i say to everyone, I don't know why some youTubers hate the sound of their voice. I am here to hear your words, not music to distract me from what you are saying.Good topic and questions. You don't mention gently used, but if one goes that route try to make sure the items fit. If they don't fit make sure you are willing to pay the tailor costs, otherwise the item will just sit around. If you are willing to get an item tailored: 1. Do not buy an item smaller than your size. and 2. Buy an item that is only one size larger, not two and three times your size.
Thank you for the kind words.
I love the trouser hanger. Great vid.
Very much appreciated.
A rich man has a better chance of making it into heaven than a Camel does, fitting through the eye of a needle. Money is an imaginary thing that people with no brain attach value to. Its pieces of paper that the whole world goes nuts for. You will stand before God an be judged, he wont care how many pieces of paper you have. Good luck to you, your gonna need it
So good to have you back.
😎
Thanks for sharing I will definitely check them out!
Definitely. Great fabrics and quality.
that db suit is very baggy on you. might want some alterations done
Drape, not baggy👍🏾
@@AstepAbove21 no, that's bagginess. it's visibly too big for you. there are plenty of lines when you're resting (drape = hang, not a bunch of lines). "too big" comes from the fact that where the lapels meet eachother is too far down and should be at least 2 inches higher. i recommend gentleman's gazette for traditional men's style advice and how everything should fit. you look like you're from an 80s movie with that db suit man

What’s the point length on those shirts? My Stephen Lachter shirts are 2.5”, and I’m a little upset about it.
Semi spread, 3" and 1.75
I went to Turnbull and Asser today, got measured, and placed an order for 4 bespoke shirts. More to follow in about 8 weeks…

Don’t mind at all. Probably easier/better as an email or I can DM you on IG.

Wow
Thanks for providing the information but I have one question should a flat use loafer
If you like the look of the loafer, get the loafer. I do not let my feet issues prevent me from enjoying a nice pair of shoes.
You certainly have beautiful shoes Sir.😊
Thank you so very much. That's very kind of you.
Great video. It’s not wire around the button holes, it’s a thick thread call gimp
Correct.
I am mot convinced about the results of the button because it "twist" aqckwardly the fabric...😢...👍 The jacket is beautiful
Fair. I will say, the video does a good job illustrating the silhouette. The button does look better when adjusted correctly.
Beautiful jacket. Great color coordination with the jacket, shirt, and tie, and an absolutely perfect knot on that tie. Hope you enjoyed the smoke!
It was exquisite. That is actually my tweed houndstooth suit. It is a vintage piece that I found that I absolutely love wearing in the colder months of the year.
Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find your channel. Great content. Always happy to see a fellow wearer of braces and who takes pride in a proper mirror shine.
That's very kind of you. I appreciate the words and the fact that you enjoy my content. Thank you.

Thanks for the informative video. I use shoe pads for the inside off Amazon. Lots of choices. Might take a few tries to find the right ones. I use them in all my boots and shoes. It helps me walk more regularly
All of the insight is appreciated. Us flatties have to stick together.
Great Description and review! ☕🙂👍 I was blessed to have bought 2 of these earlier. One single breasted charcoal with wool slacks exactly like yours and a matching black suit of the same style with smaller lapel. Labeled from Rosenblum's of Jacksonville. I am so grateful to find these and a pair of wool slacks from a $10,000 tux! New with tag. Embarrassed to say what I paid, but were basically a gift. James 1:12 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights with Whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Sir, thank you for helping me to appreciate this set of clothes with your helpful review.
Thank you for the kind words and the Bible quote. It's very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you.
The only issue with single vented jackets is that, for some physiques, the single vent will gap, which is not a very flattering look. But if you don’t experience that problem when you wear a single vent jacket, there’s no reason not to wear it.
100% agree 👍🏾
Think about it this way - your shoes are likely preventing you from fixing your problems. I have low arches and I overpronate, I always have. If I went to a podiatrist, they would probably tell me that I need orthotics, but I actually don't. I wear completely flat shoes now with minimal issues. There are many problems with modern shoes, and one of those problems is the toe box. Look at your feet, and then look at your shoes. Shoes are not foot-shaped. In order for us to stand and move properly, we need our toes to spread out, but they're squished together by our shoes. If you take your shoes off, point your big toes straight forward, shift your weight onto the outside of your feet, and straighten your hips so that they're not tilting forward or backward, your arches will lift. If you really have flat feet or low arches, it won't look like a lot, but it will still be noticeable. Our big toes are important in forming our arches. Pushing the big toe inwards collapses the arch, which is exactly what happens in our shoes. Squishing our toes together in narrow, pointed shoes also causes bunions, and who wants bunions? Other shoe issues are that they have thick, rigid soles. A large percentage of the nerves we have in our body are in the bottom our feet. They're supposed to tell our brain what we're stepping on so we can adjust properly. If we can't feel the ground, how can we accurately adjust to our environment? Also, our feet are very flexible and can conform around objects, our shoes should do the same. Our shoes also often have raised heels, which makes us lean forward, and we have to compensate by leaning our spine backward, which is how we end up with our posture all out of whack. We get a zig-zag going on with our posture from our feet to our head. The raised heel also shortens our achilles, which leads to achilles injuries. Arch support is nonsense. Our feet are made up of many bones and muscles, and low/ collapsed arches can be attributed to weakness of those muscles. Genuine flat feet will always appear to be flat, but can still be just as healthy as anyone else's feet. When our arm muscles are weak, we don't put them in braces, we exercise them. We've lived a lifetime with bad shoes, and we're seeing the effects of it. So how do you fix weak feet? Start by taking your shoes off. Just moving around barefoot helps strengthen your feet, but it's not that simple. Like I mentioned above, there are a number of things to address just to get your arch to be visible, and those changes apply to walking and running and everything else too. You have to retrain how you move, and it takes a while. When you do wear shoes, luckily there are plenty of options to choose from these days. That's right, we're talking about barefoot shoes. Hey, remember those toe shoes? They're like that but minus the individual toes. Thin, flat, flexible, and foot-shaped. There are even some more formal options if you need to dress up. Me, my low arches, and my overpronation, took on barefoot shoes 5 months ago and I'm never going back to regular shoes. HELL NO. I worked 13 hours in a retail store on Black Friday in barefoot shoes and all I had was sore feet. No joint pain. Once you learn how to move properly, it's only a matter of building up the strength to do it for longer and longer. It's a very slow process, I still have a long way to go, but it's so worth it. If you have flat feet and want to fix the problem, not just cover it up, then check out the TH-cam channel 'Grown and Healthy'.
One Old fashioned in and a decent cigar that's a proper gentleman 👍.Really smart blazer I have one similar and it always gets noticed, you can't beat the classic style. Great content and much respect from England 🏴 🍻
Greetings from across the pond. Thank you very much for your kind words. I truly enjoy wearing that particular suit during the fall and winter. It is definitely a statement piece and gets attention.
