"We're repossessing your car?" "What, why?" "You missed your last 8 car payments." "You don't understand I really needed this single pair of bespoke shoes." At least I'm comfy walking now.
Probably my favorite crazy priced objects are my chef knives. I've had my knives for nearly 15 years now, and they might have cost as much as a used car, but my grand kids will be able to enjoy them when I'm gone, and they're a grounding staple in my life. My tastes change, I move, people come and they go, but those knives are basically a rock solid constant I can depend on.
Honestly, I almost always buy the smaller carpano antica for home use. In the fridge and at that size, you really never have to worry about it going off. It's like buying a 12 pack of seltzer water instead of one 2L bottle
Sounds like a lot of waste. A sensible person might consider a high quality water filtration system. At the end of the day you’re only rehydrating the body.
Love your coverage on bespoke shoes. As someone who has struggled with an ultra wide foot with high instep and narrow heels, bespoke and modified lasts have been a wonderful relatively recent discovery. I hope you do an in-depth episode on the process and the artisans around the wonderful craft. Also +1 on chairs, knives and scarves For those that appreciate it, definitely a nice timepiece can be definitely worth it.
As my mother and i were watching this video. She began scolding my father for wearing pants too long that go under his boots 😂You showed how long should the pants be.
Anything made by skilled craftsmen with the finest materials is worth spending more on. Furniture, clothes, jewellery, luggage, machines, even housewares. A whole host of categories.
Dear Gentlemen Gazette Could you please do a video about Pocket Watches? I personally don’t know much about them. Wristwatches are much more mainstream than pocket watches. Yet pocket watches have that vintage and sophisticated feeling. It would be very helpful if you guys did a video about it...the different types and brand of pocket watches for example.
As a woodworker I can say that good quality hardwood plywood can be used to make great frames. The way plywood is constructed helps to stabilize the wood, and the frame will be hidden beneath the upholstery so the layers won't be visible. As long as it's good quality, plywood made from hardwood is a terrific frame material.
4 more items worth every penny: 1. Custom insoles for sneakers 2. High quality nail cutters (you’ll only ever need a set) 3. Flonase sensimist (talk to your doctor, not medical advice) 4. Anti-fog Glass lenses (sprays are inconvenient, masks are a nightmare)
Very happy that you mentioned a Hancock & Moore, I have such a hard time finding high quality furniture. Their are so many dishonest companies out there acting like their products are high quality.
Have the team considered creating a proper storage and maintenance for men's clothes?(Coat hangers, tie storage, belts, shoes.) Long term/seasonal storage too and that sort of thing? Love the content.
Talking about vermouth, Puglia is not a region in Sicily. The state of Puglia, or Apulia is on the main peninsula of Italy, located on the heel of the boot.
Hi-Steam professional iron defiantly worth it because I’m a house manager for a large estate home and I can watch these videos while doing my ironing therapy :)
Well, just bought two Chesterfield couches because of this. RIP my bank account. Though did not go with this level of quality because that's out of my reach, but the ones I ordered have hardwood frames, top grain semi-ailine leather, and very good reviews. Thank you very much for bringing this style of couch to my attention! It's so elegant and classy looking. I can't wait to have them in my home!
The interesting thing about this list is that it is a reasonable place to go for an idea of quality. Most people won’t buy these. Even people who can afford these items might not buy them. The cool thing is that getting familiar with this type of thing is informative. It gives people a high point to work back from. When I’m familiar with the best valued items, I can find more affordable items with many of the same characteristics.
Thinking about buying the Black Bow Tie in Silk Faille Grosgrain Sized Butterfly - Fort Belvedere, do you thinking it would be appropriate with an Ivory dinner jacket as in 20:40? or would you recommend another one?
Yes, it would look nice I think. The wide grosgrain has a wider rib. It really comes down to your preference. Personally, I would go with a grosgrain or barathea because of the texture.
Sadly the British mass production knife making industry isn't what it once was. There are still some small scale craftsmen making quality products though.
I bought a set of Shuns a couple years ago. It makes prepping food so much better and even more fun. The Vitamix we bought is awesome. It's fun to even make soups.Bow ties are great and I am gathering a collection.
Good stuff. +1 for the chair, chef’s knife (gyuto), vitamix and Carpano/Luxardo, though the last two you need to be of discerning taste to appreciate. I’d include a quality mattress in the list. Stearns & Foster or higher.
If you want a good, clean, relatively inexpensive watch I really enjoy Tayroc. I’ve had some for well over 2 years that I’ve really enjoyed and have about 7 in total. Normal price is usually between like $80 and $200 but you can usually get a sale price between $50-$120.
Taylor of Old Bond Street do some very good reasonably priced grooming products and scents. Their sandalwood cologne is brilliant. Real badger hair shaving brushes as well. I just got rid of one that had lasted 17 years. £30 well spent in 2004.
15:22 had me freaking out... one wrong move and you'll lose a finger! Please learn to properly grip food because you will cut yourself. Be safe! Source: working in a kitchen Edit: I'm referring to the "claw grip" method. Guaranteed to have you never accidentally cut one of your digits off!
Great video. Creed is worth it as well as the knives, scarves, wines, and many other items referenced. Nice to have a few nice things around one in life to enjoy. Keep up the great work!
Nisolo's Huaraches and Swims braided loafer (for swimming) are on my list. Please review them 🙇 it is around the time for summer (already here in Texas lol) they changed my opinion on sandals but of course flip flops or open toed are a no-go 👎
Carpano vermouth matched with Bèrto Bitter Liquore Amaro and and a dry gin is my go to Negroni and tastes better than what most bars serve 😇 nice to see Raphael is a connoisseur in this area as well
We live by the saying. Quality remains long after the price is Forgotten. This is so true, particularly today. Be it clothing or cars. Once you’ve invested in high quality. You’ll never return to lower priced goods. They just don’t deliver
I'm not in the market for any of the items featured in this vid; but this morning I actually did buy a lima bean green silk knit tie, just like yours. I didn't know the color is called "chartreuse". Man, I feel so stylish.
Great video... I quite love these topics. Yep, a good scarf lasts for so long. I have a grey high quality lambswool scarf. Would like to get a cashmere one some day, like the ones at Fort Belvedere. Red/orange/blue. I'm a sucker for red, the colour that is. A nice bright red really pops, especially with some neutral colours like grey. Agreed on office chairs. I have a SteelCase Leap (V2?) that I bought used. I hope I can afford a new Herman Miller/Steelcase in the future for my next chair. Used chairs can be good deals though. I hope I can afford all or at least most of the items in this video eventually.
For watches i use a Curren 8314 watch, while is a USD$35 it's work perfectly, and the finish is sturdy and the glass remain unspotted after a year of use, while i can see the appeal of high end brand, some low end watches can still caught the attention, especially between the younger ones and be part of a gentleman attire
Do you still have that Gruen pocket watch? And if yes do you still wear it? Love the direction of the channel, I’m here since 2016 and the quality of the video keeps increasing!
@@aarondaniels629 I think there might be another solution. Some standing desks have treadmills. An adjustable desk that could be used for both standing and sitting would be great.
I use a wingback chair in my office because I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. You can get some great wing-backed chairs used that are hardly used at all for under $50 and the springs in the chair seat make it last much longer than an office chair and it is a lot more comfortable. The only negative as that they don't have wheels but that really is a minor inconvenience. As watches go I prefer a Breitling.
I went to the Vitamix website. It looks like you have the 7500 model not the 750 Professional. Is that correct? I want to buy one and if you have 7500 and it does all you need it to then I will buy that too. Please let me know. Thank you! Great video and product information!
Dear Daniel, we never had a big sale, and I don't think we will ever have one. Instead, we focus on providing high-quality goods, and those have their price. We also try to offer you the goods at a fair price year round, and we offer volume discounts because that saves us money and we pass that on to you. We use the same fabrics as other brands such as Dranks but their ties cost a lot more for example. So you are already getting a good price. We also lowered our shipping cost to Europe and you can still get free shipping.
A good bed and good shoes. If you’re not in one you’re in the other. Also shoecare products by Saphir Medaille D'Or and real horsehair brushes are purchases I’ve always been pleased with.
22:26 I get that Sven's probably doing some tasting technique, but he looks like that drink is really hitting him hard, or perhaps he's had a few glasses too many. Perhaps a few too many retakes.
So on your recommendation, I'm trying a gin martini with the vermouth you featured, using Aviation Gin (which is very flavorful) and you're right! It's absolutely sublime.

I'd like that. Especially if they included antique examples from before the wristwatch was invented.
Quality leather gloves are a must in a cold weather climate, in my opinion. They protect you from the wind, which woollen gloves cannot
I have a extra long solid stick umbrella i had made by Fox with my initial on it. Its functioning and durable.

Could you guys do a video about the “Gentlemen’s car” ? And how does a car impact/compliment the image of a gentleman?
IF I had the money, I'd get a Maybach without a doubt.

I’m so glad that you’ve done this video, I truly adore your Top 12 videos. They are super helpful .
Talking about vermouth, Puglia is not a region in Sicily. The state of Puglia, or Apulia is on the main peninsula of Italy, located on the heel of the boot.
Vita mix is a must if you love smoothies or other blended stuff soo worth the money and still going strong after 7 years !
Veggie Bullet is as good and 1/4 of the price and will last forever unless you’re a 500 seater restaurant it’ll do I promise you
18:50 $11,995 is not "relatively inexpensive" lol
Relative to buying the country of Ecuador, it actually is quite inexpensive.
Relative to the $20,000 example, it's inexpensive!
Hi-Steam professional iron defiantly worth it because I’m a house manager for a large estate home and I can watch these videos while doing my ironing therapy :)
Along the same vine as knives, I invested in a good set of whetstones and a good strop, to keep them in excellent quality and to my liking.
Well, just bought two Chesterfield couches because of this. RIP my bank account. Though did not go with this level of quality because that's out of my reach, but the ones I ordered have hardwood frames, top grain semi-ailine leather, and very good reviews.

Excellent. What company did you go with?
@@gentlemansgazette We found a Canadian company named Decor-Rest.
I always love to see knives from my hometown in videos like this :)
Bed / Mattress, sunglasses, dressing gown - anything you regularly use and enjoy basically . Anything else will not be worth it - its very individual.

Which video is that?
5:52 why did I stop right at this particular time XD holy moly I am on the floor wheezing XD
