The professionalism and skill that this channel has is unlike a channel of this size. I’m impressed, you deserve so many more subscribers than you have!
@@landendoesyoutube1543 aw shucks that’s such a nice compliment my man! I know there’s always room to grow, but just enjoying the journey - happy to have you guys along for the ride!
I agree 1000%
Joseph, your channel is absolutely fantastic! Your outfit ideas are exactly what i look for when purchasing clothes these days. Funnily enough, i picked up quite a few heavy cable knit but all cream colored sweaters from J. Crew a couple years ago and those are my go to for " pre fall". Besides that, your delivery and insider fashion information is top notch. Subscribed immediatley a couple months ago and glad i did. Kerp it up!
@@henryristic3019 Thanks, bud - really appreciate it! It’s funny you mention that, I’m trying to shop for more cream and taupe cable knits myself! At first glance I would think of a need for lighter colored knits, but they really can be a great way of keeping layering from looking too heavy. Such a great way to compare notes on here about how guys can define these in between days with their outfits. Thanks again!
Hi Joseph, I like your videos. Extremely informative and well researched. You seem to value high quality videos over as many videos as possible. Please stay that way. I think it will help you in growing this great channel.
I am a middle-aged gentleman. Your style examples are great inspirations. There are some that are right down my alley like 4:53 or 9:52 or and some that send chills down my spine like 3:26 or 11:20.
Finally, the time is coming for my Harrington and Barbour jackets, tweed sports coats and dress boots. I agree with you and your trench coat assessment. I live in the Greater Milwaukee Area, WI, I would like to bring it out more often but reserve it for the really rainy days. Whenever I wear my trench coat, I get looked at like coming from Mars. It is not a regular sight anymore.
@@kaykunz4730 Hi Kay - glad to have you back for another one! I really appreciate your kind comments - I’m so glad to see that my pacing of content is recognized, I do try to keep them chock full ‘o inspirations. You’re really cracking me up with your outfit callouts! 😂 it’s true a timeless style can always have examples of guys who keep their ensembles within the lines of good taste and others take the basics and desperately try to turn them on their head with varying outcomes. I try to strike a balance of references from traditional through modern or sometimes even trendy - I always feel that you never know when something, even slightly questionable points of inspiration might strike an idea or a fresh take. As far as the trench, I agree it’s had such an up and down road behind it - you never know when the time is right for it to become a popular look again - but I’m sure it’s never far out of reach. Thank you again for such thoughtful responses and I’m glad to have such great viewers on here like yourself!
Another great video. Love the mention of workwear and military inspired outer-garments. Keep the videos coming brother!
@@jrandom2995 thanks, bud! Without question, some days you gotta dress it up, and other days you’ve gotta get rugged and casual. Glad you’re enjoying the channel my man!
Hey man! Just wanted to let you know that I love your channel, everytime you post a video Im always looking forward to watching it, I like the editing style, narration everything.
Keep it up and your channel will blow up for sure!
@@sebastiankarlsson7358 Thank ya kindly good sir! It’s so good to hear you’re enjoying the channel - I’m always trying to find that sweet spot of just the right length and keeping it entertaining and fun - happy to have you onboard for the ride, bud!
My first time viewing the channel. I love some of the suggestions. Now if I can just source some cream-colored trousers!
@@1114gabby Hey thanks for watching! Now I gotta say, you’re totally right - not a lot of stores sell cream trousers these days, I always keep an eye out on eBay for old Ralph Lauren or Brooks Brothers. But then again, I also get some from Zara or H&M sometimes. But to be honest, I end up wearing off white denim or chinos more often. Definitely a grail piece for sure!
The algorithm sent me this video; it's the first of yours that I've seen. I'm happy to report that I took your advice, put on off-white trousers ("stone" according to Charles Tyrwhitt) and a bluish tweed jacket over a blue and white Bengal striped shirt with tie, pocket square, shoes, and belt in the brown family, and collected compliments all day. Thank you!
@@KFCJones Hey now - that sounds like a fantastic look my man! Every piece sounds like a classic, and that combo really has such a nice balance of color, pattern and texture. Happy to hear it worked out well - it such a treat to hear! Thank for checking out the channel!
Good evening to you Joseph..greetings from ny...i just subscribed....i like your take on style.....my view on trench coats..gentlemen have at least 2..why??? Rotation..you will need it in few weeks for work...going 2 your house of worship....Broadway play....etc...enjoy your weekend..peace
@@kenneth7826 Good evening to you Kenneth! Well that sounds like an excellent plan for keeping a crisp, clean trench my man! Nothing worse than getting a mud stain on your raincoat before a big day! I appreciate you coming on board with the channel, hope to see you again next time!
I enjoyed this video, keep them coming. This is definitely the best season for layering. My favorites are waxed cotton coats (Barbour), canvas work jacket (Carhartt) and suede A1 jacket (Valstar).
@@nuno_t4712 ahhh a true outerwear connoisseur! VERY nice selection! Thanks for watching, my man!
Wow your production value is amazing!! Love the backdrop & music… and more importantly all the invaluable info. Keep up the fantastic work!
@@sierrabothof2438 Thank you - I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve been starting to use this green screen for the backgrounds, I kind of feel like a style weatherman 😜 But I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying the info and the imagery. Thanks for watching!
This channel deserves wayyyy more subscribers. As I’ve been wearing my Ivy style which you confirmed with ur video, I have gotten compliments daily .
@@trajohnson2640 No way! That’s some of the most awesome news I’ve heard my man! Really appreciate it - happy to have such a great group of stylish dudes rockin the classics!
Even though I live in a Hot state should I still invest in a Tweed Jacket? I've been back and forth on it. The majority of my current sport coats are suitable for year round wear no matter what the temperature is.
@@Manuel421 I’m right there with ya buddy - I’m actually in Texas fighting my Tweeds every year! 😂 What I’ve figured out is to look for linen, flax or linen silk tweeds - I look on eBay for old Ralph Lauren and type in exactly what fabric brand and size I’m looking for - there’s not always a lot to choose from, but eventually they’ll come around. Recently I even found a cotton herringbone tweed - really rare, but I was even wearing it the other day outside in 96 degree heat with no sweat 😅
A great video...Just inspired me to go and buy something fall like. Although this is a great video, I see it second to American Ivy League Style: 24 Looks for Going Back to School video. Oh at 5:06, I am looking for the jacket worn by the older gentleman on the park bench!
@@larrywilcox5282 thanks bud! I’m glad you’re enjoying them, hopefully we’ll have another contender out again! Agreed with you on the tweed looking shirt jacket from the guy in the bench - not sure myself, but looks kinda British to me? Maybe it’s a piece the guy had custom tailored? Sometimes Drake’s, Johnston’s of Elgin have some pieces like this - but a little steep for my wallet 😬 Definitely a grail piece for sure!
Great video and visuals! One correction though "Harris Tweed" (comes from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland) not Ireland. It's still hand loomed in small Scottish cottages to this day which is pretty amazing quite frankly!
@@Velvet_Torpedo you know, I messed that one up good - I think I had Scottish guy on me yesterday about that one 😬 good way to piss of a whole country! Thanks for the info - amazing that its production has such a small footprint. I’ve seen some documentaries showing those cottage spinners - no joke - it’s literally a cottage industry! I’ve gotta do some more research - aside from Harris, does Ireland do any kind of tweed too? What about Irish Donegal? Well all the more reason to do a tweed episode so I don’t alienate my fellow tweed fans!
I appreciate it very much, constructive suggestions on combining wardrobe styles for the autumn season...I must confess I'm somewhat perplexed with the term "pre-fall" I've always approached the changing of seasons as an opportunity to adapt my primary clothing selections perhaps I need to adjust my thinking in any regards thanks for sharing!
@@stylishoversixty9459 Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Well I completely agree with you, before working in fashion, I had never heard the term myself. I’m not entirely sure where it first came from - it sounds like some kind of sales term, I’m sure. But in all reality, it’s really just labeling something we all do with our own closets every year. Where I live, it remains pretty warm through most of autumn, so I can really appreciate trying to invent some kind of language behind not always being able to wear what the ads tell us to and making a hybrid look for our own needs. 🤔
This is really shaping up to be the best menswear channel on TH-cam! I’m sure you’ll have a ton of followers incoming soon… Am I remembering right that you have a professional background in design and/or styling for PRL? Just curious.. you seem to actually have professional insight beyond what you usually see with menswear channel guys.
Would love to see a video on tweed (so may options out there, can be a bit overwhelming trying to decide on colors and consider jackets in outfit contexts), as well as more on fall/winter layering strategies. Having actionable tips such as grounding your transitional season outfits with off white trousers and sticking to a limited earthy color palette as in this video is much more useful than just showing a bunch of random fit ideas. Would love to see something about how to approach darker palettes with navy and charcoal etc as the weather gets colder.
@@faranji woah woah - thanks for the compliments man! Yea it’s true, I designed for RL for almost ten years - for Purple, Black & Polo - I learned a ton and always want to encourage guys that we all can put together those kind of classic looks with pieces from any brand or pricepoint.
That’s totally a great call for layering deeper navies and charcoals - I’ll take a note and get one going on that for later this fall and early winter. That’s definitely a topic that can make for some very sophisticated looks!
And as far as the leap into tweed - I’ve found the most versatile to be either a black & white or a brown herringbone pattern. Checks and plaids are fun, but they can be a little bit too graphic if you’re still getting your feet wet. A glen plaid is also pretty classic too though. I’d also say you should grab one or two off of eBay to test the waters - look for an old Harris Tweed with patch pockets, or if you find a Polo one at a decent price, the quality will be good of course. And the best way to wear em is to keep it simple - jeans, a worn in the Oxford shirt, a denim shirt, or a nice tshirt or crewneck sweater. Oh man now you’re getting me goin on that tweed episode already! Thanks for watching and hope to have ya back for more, bud!
Awesome. I would love to see more videos on this topic.
@@mjs2721 Okay that’s noted as a check for yes! Thanks for checking out my channel - much appreciated bud! 👍🏼
Joseph, your videos are so full of information & inspirational ideas that I'm going to need to watch this one at least a couple more times at half-speed! So many great looks that I will copy over the next few weeks. Bravo sir!
@@barrymurphy1337 Holy moly - what a nice compliment, sir! I always try to pack a lot more f info in each one - sometimes I get nervous if I make them too long, people might get bored, so I’m always trying to figure out that sweet spot of just enough info in the right amount of time. Thanks for watching!
Great content Joseph! Could you break your videos into searchable segments? This way it’d be easier to go back to look at specific recommendations. Thank you!
@@brunowu1356 ooo good call - haven’t ever done that before, I’ll work on that going forward! Thanks bud!
Pre-fall is really a time that you can begin to add a ‘third piece’ to your outfit choices. I have acquired more shackets, chore coats, truckers and canvas utility jackets than I ever planned to, but really like the range of options and varied looks that can be created with a third piece. I’ve picked up a number of all-cotton and wool pieces from Banana Republic that punch well above their price point - especially when found on the resale market - often new with tags. I noticed you pointed out the poly in the one BR utility canvas jacket shown, but that is from the down market BR Factory store which typically cuts corners compared to main line offering. Big quality difference. I recently found a canvas twill cream colored workwear jacket from the BR Heritage line that is all-cotton with corduroy collar, pocket flap and inner cuff detail that is especially nice. Fun time of year to start wearing third pieces like this. It’s warm enough where I live that pre-fall clothing can often wear well in to winter depending on weight and lining.
@@gwiz7746 that’s a really good point regarding Banana - you’re absolutely right, I should’ve countered that piece with something from their main line. They have truly turned around their brand to be one of the best around. I really love their safari inspirations and they seem to be finding that sweet spot of quality pieces that take some cues without veering too costume-y. Their color palette, fabrics, and details really are awesome! And even the factory line usually offers some great simple pieces and some of the best quality at that price point. And you’re also right about the third piece theory - it’s amazing how even the simplest of basics can become so sophisticated with one great jacket - and endless variations. Thanks for watching, my man - hope to see ya again!
Amazing video, just in time for back to campus too! Can't wait to also incorporate letterman jackets and turtlenecks this fall. Thank you for another banger!
@@neodragonlordxonyoutube8254 Hey thanks, my man! I’m liking those pieces you’re thinking of - I like turtlenecks for keeping such a clean lined look for blazers or jeans. As for Letterman’s, I’m still on the hunt for that holy grail myself. I have my own from my High School days, but my school colors were terrible - so that just sits in the back of the closet 😬 so many cool ones out there, but so hard to make a final decision. Hope you’re gonna have a great fall season ahead!
Great episode… what a fun time of year to dress. Although Deep South Texas doesn’t give us a true fall experience. I’ll do my best. Bravo !
@@bobtorresproperties 😂 we get those little spells for about a half a day or so - but ya know, sometimes you can do a lot with just color and one or two pieces of lighter, fall-looking outerwear. Thanks for stopping by, Bob!
Great video, thanks! Surprised to see so many outfits w white jeans. In my city in Canada you won‘t see white jeans much, but certainly never in September!
@@scrambaba Thanks for checking out the channel, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Well that’s a good point, it’s still 90 degrees Fahrenheit where I’m at, so maybe I’m a little biased toward them. If the white feels too stark, maybe they could be more of a stone, beige, or cream color instead - it doesn’t have to be so bright white as it shows up on screen, just a lighter contrast to the rest of the outfit. But I certainly am envious of your cooler temps right about now!
Very, very nice episode. I really enjoy the visuals. Looking forward to that Tweed episode.
@@AndresOssa Thanks Andres - appreciate you stopping by! I feel the need - the need for TWEED!
I went out and purchase a tweed like vest. I started watching the video again. Question? At 2:55 on your video...Is that the Summit Diner in Summit NJ?
@@larrywilcox5282 hey now - that’s a cool look, I’ll have to take a note on that for a tweed episode - a great way to get a good texture in the mix!
I think you’re probably right - the picture came from a guy named Jislain Duval - you can find him on Instagram, he’s a model who does a lot of work for Land’s End, Vineyard Vines, J. McLaughlin etc. - he got a great classic style. I think he lives in Manhattan and travels around a lot, so I wouldn’t be surprised! Good eye!
Great video! I’ve watched it a few times as a reminder and reference for my pre-fall styling ideas. 👍🏾
@@mpre1965 Hey thanks bud, that’s great to hear! Honestly sometimes I do the same thing when I’m getting dressed 😂
I love how many times Jason Jules was featured in the outfit examples of this video 😂😂 what a GOAT
@@rsr1995 😂😂😂 Seriously! I should rename the channel Some Notes on Jason Jules! It never fails - every subject on men’s timeless style is gonna have a spot on image of him proving to be one of the most stylish dudes around!
I live in Southwest Florida, what is this prefall you speak of?
lol I'm in the same situation. Luckily I do quite bit of travel to cooler states and even spend a couple of weeks in Canada for the holidays.
My cousin lives in south Florida, she loves coming to New Jersey/New York in the winter. She states, "It's hard to be fashionable in south Miami!" Another cousin, "Miami has two seasons hot and hotter!"
Tweed in south Florida? Should come with a very powerful Air Conditioner!
@@ThommyJane okay okay guys - here’s the honest truth - I’m coming at y’all from Texas, so I know exactly what your saying! Believe it or not, I’ve come to realize you can get away with cotton sweaters, linen/cotton tweeds, and unlined canvas jackets and make it pretty far even if the temps get pretty brutal. Now it’s true these kinds of pieces are not easy to come by, but they’re out there. That’s kind of why I like this concept of prefall cause you can kind of look at the colors and ideas of layering from cooler climates and blend it together with more realistic pieces for warmer climates. But yea the A/C is my friend. 😅
Well done!
@@ronaldtapp5136 Thanks bud! Appreciate you watching!
Thank you for a wonderful and informative video. Im a fan!!
@@RedRdSnake2 hey thanks my man - I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ll be back again next weekend with more! Hope to see ya again!
Your channel became a must see after 2 watched videos. I'm looking forward to see an entire episode dedicated to British countryside! Keep up the good work and thanks for the hard work put so far!

I really love your videos
Harris is in Scotland
I am enjoying this channel. About dressing for this time/fall/winter season: What are your tips/notes on corduroy pants? Will there be a video on this? Are saddle shoes still cool to wear?
@@larrywilcox5282 Thanks - I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos! Happy to have you back again!
Well let’s see here - for cords, there’s kind of two ways of going for ‘em - either some thinner fine wales (14 wale) cut like a jean are a great way of keeping the cords looking a little more modern and sporty and can be great for wearing with casual jackets and sport coats, even tshirts or polos. Sid Mashburn makes some nicer priced versions or you can usually hunt around for some deals on some great ol vintage Levi’s corduroys on eBay if you don’t mind hunting a bit. Then the other side would be a gentleman’s wide wale (8 wale) cut into a trouser style - little more traditional and a little harder to keep ‘em looking cool but a distinctive choice - for those you could try J. Peterman or hit up eBay for some vintage Polo versions. Those might wear warmer and you’d need to wear them with a sport coat or a Barbour or a chunky sweater - more heavy duty kinda outerwear. In either case, you can stick to the classic tan/camel color, or a rich brown, olive, or navy are also pretty versatile! This is a great idea for a video - making a note now!
And saddle shoes - hmm well I haven’t seem them around too much lately, but they’re such an iconic piece that they’ll never truly go out of style. Especially now, with so many graphic looking sneakers around and the trends now with guys wearing penny loafers and white socks - they’re totally in the same light. But maybe the best way to wear them is to keep the rest of the outfit pretty clean so they’re the showpiece - maybe with some cuffed dark rinse 501 jeans, a clean T-shirt and a graphic varsity jacket with a bright white sock . Or if you want to wear them with chinos, a crisp white oxford shirt and a cardigan - make sure the chinos are either kinda trim fitting or a real old school wide fit with a high rise. Keep the shoes paired with outfits that have an equally sharp and iconic look to them so they assure everyone that you know they stand out and you meant to do so! Another interesting topic there…
@@SomeNotesonStyle Thanks for this and it's REALLY GREAT when you tell us where we can get the item from (I.e. like when you said where you bought the clothes you had on from. THANKS!!
@@stevemundie8495 hey thanks for watching Steve! Good call, I’ll try to do better about showcasing the shops more so they’re easier to find - I tried once before to put all kinds of links in the description, but I never knew if guys were really using them - good to know keeping the references is still something y’all want me to do!
Inspirational. Thanks!

You need to work on your green screen. It makes you look like a cartoon as the background is not sized for your body.
@@CanadaFree-ce9jn 😅Thanks! I’m just kinda scrapping together what I can find for backgrounds - never intend for it to be a total illusion, just kind of a graphic so I’m not just standing in front of a blank wall - just learning as I go - but I’ll try to find some better samples going forward!
