I wore a belt under my vest today and no one minded because they were all wearing cargo shorts, flip-flops and superhero t-shirts. To them, I was wearing a tuxedo. It's all relative.
I'm probably around your age and your comment made me laugh. Same thing as where I work. I wore nice dark jeans, a really nice second hand thrift store sports coat, with a dark t-shirt for heavens sake, and everyone was like, why are you so dressed up? You have an interview or something? Just got a Donna Karan suit for eleven bucks at the thrift store and can hardly wait until they see me wearing that without a tie. These kids will probably think I'm the new CEO. Not one for shirt and tie, had enough of that in my younger days, but Jesus, I don't want to go to work looking like I just rolled out of bed. Cheers
@@dl733sak It happens all the time. BTW, I would re-think your relationship with ties. I try to wear one at every opportunity for two reasons. First, so that I can get proficient at it. It takes skill to tie one correctly the first time, even something as simple as a Four in Hand knot. Second, simply, because most guys don't. That may come off as elitist, but think of it this way: if most guys aren't wearing a tie when they could be and you are, you have the elevated style, which makes for a better presentation to the world. Take two guys wearing the exact same level of outfit, be it a full suit or a sport coat and chinos, the one with the tie looks more put together and complete. It's that edge. And, your younger days probably didn't come with as much education and experience that your style does now. Why let that influence how you present yourself now that you're older?
There is a difference between a vest and a waistcoat. They are not the same. A vest is worn with belts in the trousers. The length of a vest is the top of the belt and no lower. This length provides access to knives, tools, coin dispensers and other things men wear on their belt band when working. A waistcoat extends lower than a vest. Remember, trousers used to be held up with external posts and suspenders. That material may look bad. So, the waist coat was worn lower to cover it. Don't forget that the suspenders loop around the post and have a bit of material below the union. Factor in the desire to keep the connection covered when walking and bending slightly and one understands why a waist coat is a few inches longer than a vest. Further, wearing an angled lower edge to a waist coat is appropriate as the posts and suspenders will not be revealed as they are not central. However, an angled lower in a vest is inappropriate as it would look like a man hole cover revealing a space of shirt over the belt band. It may be appropriate to wear a vest if the suspender posts are internal to the trouser band, but I do not like the look myself. The vest shows off a nice belt, buckle, and tools. There really is no reason to wear a vest with suspenders. Belt = Vest = short Suspenders = Waistcoat = long
I predominately wear clerical suits which are black on black or charcoal grey, but I like to wear a vest. Embroidered black or purple, green or blue Victorian style brocades all of which with my gold pectoral cross and my pocket watch with gold chain. Topped with a black or grey Fedora in cold or rainy days and a panama hat on hotter days, plus I need a cane these days.
So you saying one shouldn’t wear a vest unless one buys a whole new wardrobe of pants that have side tighteners, so as not to require wearing a belt? That’s a big ask for a very small improvement.
Personally, I think vests with suits are severely underrated; they have a nice slimming effect, they counteract the sometimes unflattering angle of suit lapels, and they allow you to continue looking dapper and professional if you remove your jacket.
The Gentleman's Gazette has helped me seamlessly transition from a medical scrubs-wearing job to a gentlemen's business style attire downtown Chicago career. I had no idea where to start. Watching these videos made me realize that I had a few items in my closet to combine for an elegant look. I've taken the first few checks to really invest in my look based on these videos ever since. I'm going nearly 6-months strong now.
I have to say it, as a guy with a little overweight, I LOVE watching you as a model of your outfits! Great video and great info Raphael, and oh, sweet accent. Cheers from Argentina
Yeah he’s an absolute expert and historian, it’s a shame people are more interested in other YT’ers that offend culture instead of complementing it like Gentleman’s Gazette
Waistcoats are for sure my favourite item of clothing, and something I love wearing as a "signum". I often go with a more casual style with an odd vest, a simple dress shirt (possibly a tie) and an overcoat. I think it's a really versatile item which can be dressed up or dressed down. Great video!
So happy to hear a man say "not too matchy matchy" in reference to men's wear - this is a well known women's style sin and it does apply to everyone! Great video, I'll definitely need to go custom because waistcoats for women just don't exist nine years out of ten. I have one from years ago which I do like a lot, though it's not of great quality.
I actually sometimes really like the look of a nice pair of slim fit denim with a vest and collared shirt, sleeves rolled up. It's a good casual style with some formal flair on some people. Doesn't usually flatter larger frames unfortunately, but slimmer guys look great with it.
Me either. I do like the look of a nice collared shirt inder a thin sweater, but sweater vests have never done it for me. Although I have seen a few guys in certain english styles that look great with the look. Charlie Hunnam comes to mind in thet movie "the gentleman" (I believev it's that one. If not I still like his style in it).I also think, as is unfortunately often the case, it is a look you have to be taller and slimmer to really pull off well.
Love your videos and follow most of your advice. However, I have one exception on vests when it comes to men of a more full-figured, rotund physique. For us gentleman who are more built for comfort than speed, vests are a godsend. They make you look more uniform in shape and the hang of your clothes. However, a vest that ends just above the belt-line isn't as flattering, especially if you have a bit of a pendulous belly. I use a XLT for a little more length to cover that anatomical feature, and it works very well to make me look more streamlined in the front. However, the suspenders are a must! Keep it up, my fashion guru!
Hello, I just subscribed after viewing several videos today. I enjoyed this video on vest. I'm 64 years old and nice to see you have embraced some of the styling of the past. Best Regards, John
So far I have really enjoyed my vests from Jos A Bank. I have 1 grey wool with a large knit pattern, a charcoal grey with their lower level fabric, both off the rack. In a week or so I have a 3 piece coming in that I’m pretty excited for. This’ll be my first custom vest (the whole suit is).
I love vests but everything he showed here made me wince. I REALLY don't like that velvet/calf skin look and much prefer the more modern 3 piece suit vests and english style tweed in a subdued pattern and darker color.
That moment when you find out that the way to wear a vest for business is without a belt and now you realize you need suspenders, but you're kind of excited about it because it's a new clothing item type. Thanks for another awesome video, Sven!
I wish we could bring back the floral and embroidered waistcoats of the 1830s and 40s for men. They were so beautiful, and I wish men still wore things like that these days.
Love the videos! Any advice for a medical resident who needs to dress as formal as possible while still having to treat and diagnose patients? Something to wear to the clinic. Thank you !
I have been looking my whole life for your channel! Thank you for helping men to become Gentlemen all over the World! Style, Class, Beauty, Elegance and those special good manners! I hope a ˋHow to be a real Lady´ will start up, God knows they are becoming rare too!
I like how the tolerable language he uses or how open to interpretation the wearer may wear with the combination he suggests. The way he explains his reasons makes it also very apparent of why some combinations do not go well. The key thing is he suggests or recommends the option but he doesn't set any idea in stone.
This is a great video and it really rekindles my love for waistcoats. I would like to implement them in my wardrobe, but I am unsure of how to proceed. I'm not used to wear jackets or suits on a daily basis at the moment (there is no situation which requires it), though I would still like to wear a waistcoat. I just don't know if it is appropriate or if it just looks odd.
Great video. Perfect timing as well now that fall has finally arrived. I always use knitted vests during the colder days, maybe I'll change it up this year and get some waistcoats.
This was a very great detailed and in depth video on Vests and how to wear. It surely filled in the many questions I’ve had on how to wear and if to wear. Now I understand they are completely versatile and if you have a variety of suits with vests to mix and wear with different outfits. I definitely like the Burgundy, Tan or Copper tone color ones for versatility to really mix things up.
I really like the white, double-breasted waistcoat. Does it have peaked or notched lapels? I'd love to find one like it. I have started wearing more 3 piece suits, and will try mixing it up w odd vests. Thanks so much!
The best thing about wearing a vest, for me, is pairing it with a pocket watch and chain. Where I live it garners a lot of odd looks but that just makes me feel better about it. I have two vests. A black solid one and a gray tweed one. I pair this with either a solid color or tweed sport jacket and dark jeans. I call it my formal/casual look. Then I’ll finish it off with, weather depending, an overcoat and a newsboy cap. I do get some approving looks from women. BTW I’m 74 y/o, trim and well groomed-unlike most men my age.
If you find yourself at the races or any country gathering in Britain … ONE pattern !!!!! Shirt, waistcoat, or jacket … fine but only one item should have e pattern on! As for your tie it should be your old schools or your clubs, polka dot to match waistcoat, or plain !
Just bought a brand new black suit today! Ordered a black vest to go with it as well.... What other colors would go well with a black suit?? Black pants, black jacket, black vest.... That's starting to get very Johnny Cash!
I'm making a vest for my fiance to wear at our wedding. It's a dark blue dull satin that matches the trim on my dress. He will probably never wear it again, being a jeans-and-oversized-t-shirt guy.
How is the odd vest line coming? I would be very interested! Also, the website Gentleman’s Emporium (Historical Emporium) has a good selection of odd vests from the Victorian era
On thing that wasn't answered is how tight should a waistcoat be? Like for example, I wear a 46 jacket, but I find that 44 in waistcoat works better with a tighter fit. Is that correct though? And how tight is too tight?!??!
What I like about you is that you are totally unselfconscious. You just told people you picked up a tweed jacket from a thrift store...for under $20. I can't believe you are that forthcoming. Also, this statement should shame the men in America for dressing like slobs and clowns. You do not have to spend a lot of money to dress like an adult.
You doing very good with the wonderful videos. If You won’t mind might I suggest plz loose some weight and get slimmer around your waist and put a bit of muscle on shoulders coz it looks a bit sloppy. So when you get all these smart ideas out they will even be more effective. Thank you for your work...
I’m blind. Could you inform me if the vest can be lwarn without the suit? Dresspants, dress shirt, tie, and vest? I am attending a banquet and receiving an award in a week.
I think people have been wearing waistcoats with belts for some time, though I don't like the look personally. I saw in the original 1970s Dawn of tne Dead the other day they shot a zombie wearing a three piece suit and he was wearing a belt
Hello, I know that one should never wear a belt with a vest and instead opt for suspenders, but how exactly does this work for sweater vests? Say one would wear a sweater vest casually with a collared shirt underneath, no tie or suit/sports jacket. Would a belt be more appropriate in this case? Or would suspenders be more appropriate?
This video is perfect for waistcoat lovers like me, completely spot on! By the way, i was wondering where i could get a burgundy waistcoat like the one you have.
I'm just stating my personal opinion here but I think wearing a belt and having the buckle show a little bit, looks incredible when wearing a vest, as long as it's done in a casual manner and that the belt buckle is very subtle and not too ornate looking. To me, the only time you should not wear a belt with a vest and should opt for suspenders instead is if you're wearing a matching set of trousers or a 3 piece suit. However, a vest with jeans looks incredible with a belt.
Can somebody please help me out over here I currently have a black trouser, white & light pink dress shirt Which colour waistcoat and tie combo will look the most badass with above available Thank you in advance
i'm just a hotel concierge, but i like to dress for my job. I've thought of putting together an outfit for going to cattle auctions, just for fun lol (i raise cows too).
oh so it is odd vest............that is why I always wondering why sometime men wear vest with different color for each part of the vest..........we can do that too???
I realize that it might not be part of classic menswear but a conservative leather vest With a sports jacket, Especially in the countryside might strike an interesting style
Great video as usual. I have only a couple of questions. ¿Can I wear a lined vest without a jacket? ¿Or should the back and the front of the vest neccessarily be of the same fabric in order to wear it on its own? (English is not my native languege so pardon me if I commited some grammar mistakes).
Wearing a vest without a jacket is definitely a more casual expression but for the fall if you are in a cooler climate considering wearing you vest with a roll/turtleneck and some nice casual cords, or some other casual trousers. Even if it's a lined fabric on the back the look will still be elegantly casual. I like the vest with the same back just because it speaks, as Ralph said, to a more custom look. But you don't have to.
Well here in England they are two different things, what we call a vest you would call an undershirt I believe, and we would call what you call a vest a waste coat.
Great video. I like your outfit but not a fan of the pant width and length. I'd prefer Slimmer and slightly shorter pants to look sharper and a bit more modern.
Very nice explanation from the source of it's origin. I have subscribed to gentleman's Gazette online and share their wonderful tips on Men's dressing to all my friends. Bought a new waistcoat yesterday (charcoal grey front with sapphire back) and your video gave me the perfect tip to wear it.thank you gentleman.🤝🤝🤝
don't know how not done it is most most of the time i just wear a vest with lapel with the same fabrick on the back i really enjoy the freedom of not wearing a jacket
I wore a belt under my vest today and no one minded because they were all wearing cargo shorts, flip-flops and superhero t-shirts. To them, I was wearing a tuxedo. It's all relative.
terrydrums I wear a belt and vest together as well. Suspenders? Ew

terrydrums that’s true! Always represent yourself well, you also represent your friends, family, and company.
Would love to buy some waistcoats from you guys knowing the quality of your other products! Your ascot and gloves are second to none at their prices.
Glad to hear that, stay tuned!

What color of vest would go best with a tan colored suit ?
Great video! I love vests but being a big and tall guy hard to find them.
Great informative video. Quick query
What can I use to clean my Allen Edmunds chica boots same as the pair worn in the video? Thank you kindly!
Could I wear a grey pinstripe suit with a solid black vest?
Make waistcoats great again!!!

“So why should you wear odd vests, and why should you inVEST in them”
Never seen someone wear a full suit with 7 different colors
Victor Espino *tones
Not really
also not a suit
You could if they’re all neutrals, i.e. shades of brown and gray. A suit of purple green and orange looks clownish.
A clown probably

His style is a bit ultra conservative and a bit dated. But I do like it. For style I tend to refer to the likes of Sartorial Talks
Such a great and in-depth video :) what you forgot to mention your opinion- should one put pocket square in his vest?
I would disagree - the waistcoat by itself is quite a statement, a pocket square IN the vest is overkill
@@Rob_-dv6ei May be in odd waist style one can pull off! if he is known for wearing waists only due to hot temp.
Waistcoats aren't made for it, it's like the blazer's pockets, if you have holes it doesn't mean you need to fill them
Maybe as an utilitarian handkerchief ( white and concealed ) and not the aesthetic Pocket Square
I supposed you could, but vests are usually considered "under" wear, like suspenders. Ideally, no one would ever see the pocket square in a vest.
Waistcoats are for sure my favourite item of clothing, and something I love wearing as a "signum". I often go with a more casual style with an odd vest, a simple dress shirt (possibly a tie) and an overcoat. I think it's a really versatile item which can be dressed up or dressed down. Great video!

These are wonderful videos to watch even for appreciation purposes only.
Love your videos and follow most of your advice. However, I have one exception on vests when it comes to men of a more full-figured, rotund physique. For us gentleman who are more built for comfort than speed, vests are a godsend. They make you look more uniform in shape and the hang of your clothes. However, a vest that ends just above the belt-line isn't as flattering, especially if you have a bit of a pendulous belly. I use a XLT for a little more length to cover that anatomical feature, and it works very well to make me look more streamlined in the front. However, the suspenders are a must! Keep it up, my fashion guru!
Can you wear a waist coat and matching pants without the jacket, or is that a fashion faux pas? @gentlemensgazette

I have 1 grey wool with a large knit pattern, a charcoal grey with their lower level fabric, both off the rack.
In a week or so I have a 3 piece coming in that I’m pretty excited for.
This’ll be my first custom vest (the whole suit is).
Why do i disklike the combinations doesnt not look harmonic

Random.fandom.011 Kh also I girl and I just want to wear literally any of these waistcoats
my waistcoat fits well, but crumples up and doesn't look as good when I sit.
is this normal for all waistcoats?
I wish we could bring back the floral and embroidered waistcoats of the 1830s and 40s for men. They were so beautiful, and I wish men still wore things like that these days.
Can you do a video on vest chains?
Why does it seem like you can only wear tartan clothing during December? No one rocks it during the rest of the year

The way he explains his reasons makes it also very apparent of why some combinations do not go well. The key thing is he suggests or recommends the option but he doesn't set any idea in stone.
It's a lot of style vids on youtube. But this channel is underrated. This video is maybe the greatest style video of all time.
Nice video, very informative. It was, however, Edward VII that introduced not buttoning the bottom button, not Prince Albert.
You got me into tweed, knit ties and vests.
This is a great video and it really rekindles my love for waistcoats. I would like to implement them in my wardrobe, but I am unsure of how to proceed. I'm not used to wear jackets or suits on a daily basis at the moment (there is no situation which requires it), though I would still like to wear a waistcoat. I just don't know if it is appropriate or if it just looks odd.
If it looks odd, at least you’ll look odd in a good way.
Pretty keen for those new fort belvedere odd waist coats.

I use to wear one all the time until people start handing me their bags when I'm in a hotel and asks for their checks when I'm in a restaurant :D
Adjusts need to be made then.
Remember: White Shirt + Black Vest and you will become the waiter.

How about pairing a double breasted waistcoat with a single breasted jacket? what is you opion on that?
It's very good, he was wearing ones during the video.
How is the odd vest line coming? I would be very interested!
Also, the website Gentleman’s Emporium (Historical Emporium) has a good selection of odd vests from the Victorian era
The Gentleman's Emporium looks like it has vests but the quality looks subpar. Lots of polyester.
On thing that wasn't answered is how tight should a waistcoat be? Like for example, I wear a 46 jacket, but I find that 44 in waistcoat works better with a tighter fit. Is that correct though? And how tight is too tight?!??!
Hello, your suits are beautiful. Can I ask where did you get them? By the tailor or a label store?
I believe most are vintage or bespoke whereas others may be from high end brands.
What I like about you is that you are totally unselfconscious. You just told people you picked up a tweed jacket from a thrift store...for under $20. I can't believe you are that forthcoming. Also, this statement should shame the men in America for dressing like slobs and clowns. You do not have to spend a lot of money to dress like an adult.
You doing very good with the wonderful videos. If You won’t mind might I suggest plz loose some weight and get slimmer around your waist and put a bit of muscle on shoulders coz it looks a bit sloppy. So when you get all these smart ideas out they will even be more effective. Thank you for your work...
I’m blind. Could you inform me if the vest can be lwarn without the suit? Dresspants, dress shirt, tie, and vest? I am attending a banquet and receiving an award in a week.
I think people have been wearing waistcoats with belts for some time, though I don't like the look personally. I saw in the original 1970s Dawn of tne Dead the other day they shot a zombie wearing a three piece suit and he was wearing a belt
Hello, I know that one should never wear a belt with a vest and instead opt for suspenders, but how exactly does this work for sweater vests?
Say one would wear a sweater vest casually with a collared shirt underneath, no tie or suit/sports jacket. Would a belt be more appropriate in this case? Or would suspenders be more appropriate?
Do you think it’s possible to pull of a waistcoat with matching trousers combined with an odd jacket? Thank you for your answers.
This video is perfect for waistcoat lovers like me, completely spot on! By the way, i was wondering where i could get a burgundy waistcoat like the one you have.

To me, the only time you should not wear a belt with a vest and should opt for suspenders instead is if you're wearing a matching set of trousers or a 3 piece suit. However, a vest with jeans looks incredible with a belt.
I was at a thrift store not so long ago and found a short-cut, black, double-breasted tuxedo waistcoat for around $3~$4 .
Can somebody please help me out over here
I currently have a black trouser, white & light pink dress shirt
Which colour waistcoat and tie combo will look the most badass with above available
Thank you in advance
What a load of belony. Your speaking English, a vest is an undergarment not a waistcoat. So there is a big difference!
When are you guys coming to England for a holiday / video making trip.
I think you would love the city of Bath.
Powerfull video, so much great info . Thanks. I was confused if you can even wear odd vest.
Personally for me only I don’t like odd vest prefer single matching color with obviously the exception of the collar shirt
i'm just a hotel concierge, but i like to dress for my job. I've thought of putting together an outfit for going to cattle auctions, just for fun lol (i raise cows too).
oh so it is odd vest............that is why I always wondering why sometime men wear vest with different color for each part of the vest..........we can do that too???
Will a brown vest go with a black suit or a grey vest with a black suit and brown accents?? @GentlemansGazette
I realize that it might not be part of classic menswear but a conservative leather vest With a sports jacket, Especially in the countryside might strike an interesting style
Great video as usual. I have only a couple of questions. ¿Can I wear a lined vest without a jacket? ¿Or should the back and the front of the vest neccessarily be of the same fabric in order to wear it on its own? (English is not my native languege so pardon me if I commited some grammar mistakes).
Wearing a vest without a jacket is definitely a more casual expression but for the fall if you are in a cooler climate considering wearing you vest with a roll/turtleneck and some nice casual cords, or some other casual trousers. Even if it's a lined fabric on the back the look will still be elegantly casual. I like the vest with the same back just because it speaks, as Ralph said, to a more custom look. But you don't have to.
All my single breates suits are three piece. The only time I'm without a vest is when I'm wearing a single breasted jacket is in the summer.
Where can I get the waistcoat at 5:22? Or the one that Prince Charles was wearing? Are they both bespoke only?
Suitsupply is my place to go for waistcoats. Theire made to measure options and service are great. At least in my local shop...
I’m about to find out what an oddvest is... ahh... ok because I bought a suit with no vest and I’m here for some rules on a mismatched vest...
Well here in England they are two different things, what we call a vest you would call an undershirt I believe, and we would call what you call a vest a waste coat.
Good video but could also have included some 'smart casual' outfits with a denim shirt for example
Great video. I like your outfit but not a fan of the pant width and length. I'd prefer Slimmer and slightly shorter pants to look sharper and a bit more modern.
qarhsi his style is great but a lot of times a tad too old
Morning wear? Who the heck dresses for mornings! What time are we talking here? My mornings begin at 5.
I hate dress clothes to begin with cause I run hot and sweat like crazy so adding yet another layer would turn me into a puddle
Very nice explanation from the source of it's origin. I have subscribed to gentleman's Gazette online and share their wonderful tips on Men's dressing to all my friends. Bought a new waistcoat yesterday (charcoal grey front with sapphire back) and your video gave me the perfect tip to wear it.thank you gentleman.🤝🤝🤝
don't know how not done it is most most of the time i just wear a vest with lapel with the same fabrick on the back i really enjoy the freedom of not wearing a jacket
Raphael, are you all still offering odd waistcoats at Fort Belverde?
I recently came across a vintage waistcoat with 4 pockets. was this common back in the day?
where did you get your velvelt greeen double breasted waist coat? it's amazing!
Man, the level of detail in his videos amuses me. True gentleman
I only have one black vest and one white shirt. Shopping time?!
I only disliked to make the dislikes to 69
Btw good video
Question can you wear suspenders with a vest? Also it goes under if you do correct?
