      Perhaps you don't understand that different countries have different currencies and that you can't generally use them interchangeably? The point of cash is being prepared and being able to make small, or even large purchases without having to pay them back later. It also gives you a better sense of the money you're spending. Cheers!

      Folks, he telling you something by the term “vintage”. I live in a small town in Oklahoma. You can find some stuff from a Wal-Mart. I found some stuff from a Target in the Tulsa area. I can check a resale shop for “vintage” clothing. Target is really good for some stuff at a great price. Winter tuff is fixing to go on clearance. I can check Ross in Muskogee for items. If you need a new suit, there is a really good place in Tulsa around 41st and Memorial that start at $99.00. It not like a bunch of people around this area knows what bespoke is or heard of Savoy Row in London. Raphael and creative buying here in Oklahoma would impress the mayor or a me,her of the state legislature. The Governor here doesn’t know he should where morning dress for his daytime inauguration. If you live so we like New York or LA or big cities in Europe, follow Raphael to the letter. If you live like I do in Northeastern Oklahoma/ Northwestern Arkansas, people just think you got class cause you are wearing clothing for out on the town that doesn’t have logos for OU, OSU and University of Arkansas.

    I think a good pocket or pen knife should be on this list as well. It is as essential as a lighter. Nothing big or gaudy, just high quality steel, preferably with a handle made of horn, and no longer than 3.5 - 4 inches in length.
    I personally don't smoke, but I do not leave my home without my wallet, phone, lighter, and knife.
    Then again, my pocket knife was my grandfather's and he carried it into WW2, so it is something I also plan on passing on to my child as well.
    Overall this list is very solid and doable, even if you aren't well off.

    Totally agree about umbrellas. I have a James Smith, but also agree that expensive umbrellas are more likely to go missing. Or worse, as with the Financial Times umbrella I was given many years ago, it might get left on a train or bus.
    On dress shirts, I recently heard about someone who only wore cream or off-white shirts because he grew up in a household where white shirts were reserved only for the servants. Not something most of us have to bother about any more, thankfully, but I do think off-white, cream and ivory have a warmer look to them than white, which can look a bit clinical and uniform. I work in an office and white shirts are a bit humdrum.

      Ever since I was a kid, i always owned a fresh pure white shirt. I agree it should be a staple, for those occasions one dont plan for and similar; funeral, someones confirmation, job interview, etc. Dont get much use admittedly, but still an important asset. It goes with a standard dark suit and shoes. I cringe when i see someone coming to a funeral in old jeans and sneakers. Any grownup should at minimum be able to keep 1 formal outfit.

    It's a good list but I think there's one item that doesn't belong there; the digital camera. No matter what camera you'll buy, within a few years it's going to be worth a fraction of its original price so you should think twice whether you can justify the cost, unless your photos can earn you money. Not to mention that to get high quality photos you need to learn how to use the camera and then process the photos with a computer.

      On the other hand high quality vintage cameras are relatively affordable and will only rise in value. Learning how to film is also pretty easy and if you dont care about the process you can just send them to the lab afterwards and get some nice prints and/or scans that look nice without photoshop.

However I customized by buying quality tools e.g Kinpex, very few Snap On and Teckton. Teckton is were you want to get the bulk. I am not associated with anybody, but really love this show and I assume really good people that also watch. Built shelves and use only Dewalt & very few Milwaukee.

She can use it for her Wedding/Divorce or Graduation etc. You are laying down the core of her cellar and she will be able to toast your memory long after you have passed. As for the Port, get more than a single bottle. You want them to toast your memory and Port will last long after you die.

    #19; A high quality handgun. A gentlemen will want something capable of handling any risky situation quickly without much discomfort. For suffecient power but comfortable recoil and easy concealment, the best option is a .380acp pistol. A Glock 42 from Austria provides a suffecient amount of ammunition for the size without being too difficult to conceal under a jacket or in a hoster inside your waisteband. Be warned, a waisteband holster requires a quality, stiff leather belt and may not interact well with a tucked-in shirt.

    Laguiole is pronounced more « lye-olle » (silent g). For info, there's a Laguiole knife next to me, as an aside for those who like good cutlery (or need a good knife for picking their own mushrooms).
    Whether or not you should own all of these is a matter of individual taste and necessity (the pinky ring and and vintage port being my personal exceptions*), and I should stress that I place more value on being a gentle man than on being a gentleman**. I was, however, pleased to note that all of the items are primarily intended for both use and ornament (Utile et Decus for Latinists), meaning that they're practical and serve a secondary purpose into the bargain.
    I'd also like to add two items, 1) a solid pair of walking / riding boots***, and 2) a kilt, either full plaid or the more contemporary form (with a kilt pin, and best worn with flashes and hose, particularly for formal wear), for those whose family has its own tartan.
    FOOTNOTES
    * Less is more where jewellery is concerned, and if you're wearing a good watch, a ring can become superfluous, unless it's a wedding ring or a signet ring (i.e. with your seal for wax-sealing correspondance). As for offering alcohol, port is often an acquired taste, and in any case it's better to check the tastes of the person to whom you're making a gift.
    ** Style is a fine thing, but not if it's at the expense of substance, or becomes an excuse for snobbery (the measure of a man being how he treats his so-called inferiors). Rafael's videos are worth watching precisely because his definition of being a gentleman is about dressing with style as the outward expression of values such as consideration for others (e.g. his objection to wearing a backpack unless it's absolutely necessary being that you can hurt someone with it), showing respect for yourself and others, and being prepared and responsible.
    *** Depending on your budget, background, and form/s of rural exercise.

Also it is painted brown and not the standard black look of most cameras. Whenever I am out in public, people almost always ask me about it. Not that I am seeking attention, but they always seem curious about it. It is lighter and much more transportable than a 35mm camera.

      Johnny Rotten usually had a plain white shirt...often with French cuffs (no links tho).

    The video was great and on point, and I loved the outfit. I’m probably going to get the same. Also I suggest that you try Versace pour homme it is an eau de toilette but it’s a very masculine and robust fragrance.
