I heard that and thought “ I think he would look great classic tuxedo.” I don’t think on the channel from what I’ve noticed, but maybe I don’t pay enough attention lol.
I appreciate your mention of the environmental impact of fashion! Fast fashion is a bane of the earth. People need to own fewer articles of clothing, and be willing to mend them when they have minor imperfections.
Glad to hear we resonated wit you on the topic! Have you seen our take on the issue previously? www.gentlemansgazette.com/how-build-green-sustainable/?
You know, as far as an advert video goes, this was fantastic. I’m an Apple Watch fan, so I do not enjoy traditional watches anymore, but although this video may have been structured around the sponsor, it was still enjoyable and great, thank you for the years of content, you’ve helped me tremendously!
Grazie mille, caro Raphael! Well expressed. Your channel is truly a treasure. I particularly enjoy Preston's charming and edifying presentations. Your work has helped me to put my finger on the style I so admired in my Italian American grandfather, who had very little money, but always looked fantastic.
People often say "you're always impeccably dressed" my answer is its something I just threw on,I never just throw something on! I take my time putting my clothes together
I think the proper respoonse to "you're always impeccably dressed" is "Thank You" and perhaps adding "I'm flattered that you noticed". Saying something like "I just threw this on" makes the other person feel bad for complimenting you.
Love seeing you in videos again! Reminds me of when your channel was smaller. I love all of the editions to the cast, professor Preston is my favorite 😂
This was a timely video! I have lots of vintage and classic gear that can be a bit "out there" for everyday casual, so I've been looking out for something classy and a bit stand-out that works for daily use. This is a good guide, thanks GG team.
I usually love these videos, and there was some really good stuff in this one. But the constant sales pitch for the watches and the fragrances are turning me away. Did you really say that you picked your fragrance because of the color of bottle it came in and that COLOR coordinated with your outfit? That is like matching a particular tie with specific socks because of the way they smell. One has nothing to do with the other. I know you are branching out, but many of these outfits strayed from "classic men's wear". Black tie with no socks and short trousers? And Kyle's outfits look like he is wearing someone else's clothes. They are not "snug". They are way too tight looking! You say "fit is king"? Yet one of your main presenter's clothes almost never fit! I still like the channel and have been a long time subscriber, but you can do better. Concentrate more on educating and less on selling and you guys will be fine.
We appreciate your support, and understand you don't like hearing about fragrances in our outfits. Other viewers find it useful, and in this case, it's made clear Nomos is working with us as a sponsor. Regarding our definition of Classic Style, we've defined it previously, and would love to hear your take on what YOU think Classic Style is? www.gentlemansgazette.com/what-classic-style-is-isnt/?
@@gentlemansgazette Thank you for the kind response. I don't particularly care about fragrances, but realize you run a business and have a product to sell. But reccomending a high price fragrance because of the COLOR of the bottle it come in? That is a stretch. And I understand that Nomos was sponsoring the video, and again have no problems with you promoting it. But there was an overemphasis on it in this video. It was too blatant. You even took the time to change one of the outfits just to show how one particular color of watch went with multiple outfits. My definition of classic style is usually anything, not work clothes, worn from the 1940s to the early 1960's.
@@gentlemansgazette vintage and thrift stores in the most affluent areas of the USA . I hear you can find designer clothing there still with the tags on them . Do they have thrift and vintage stores in Dubia ?
I wish other channels would be half as creative with integrating their sponsors into their videos as you guys are. It flows very well with the rest of the video, as opposed to the usual "Here is a message from our sponsors" during the first or last 2 minutes of a video. Also, instructions unclear, bought a Hundehütte instead, is this bad?
Thank you for al the knowledge you gentlemen share with us, I can honestly say that this channel has improved my life all around. I know this is out of the realm of this channel but any good ideas on networking or how to move into better employment for us aspiring gentlemen?
I'm unfortunately in a rather small area. The only thing we have here are a handful of thrift stores. And as a rather large guy, finding anything that will even fit me is few and far between. I'm over 6 foot and built like a brick house lol
I"ve found online thrift options helpful! Poshmark and Ebay are the ones I use. I really like second hand because I can play with trying new things without breaking the bank. Most of my shoes are second hand too actually 🙃
Dude is trying to convince himself he likes those watches more than he’s trying to convince us lol. Jokes aside, I’m not crazy about these videos where you structure the whole thing around a sponsored product, but as those types of videos go, you did a good job. I much prefer when there’s no monetary incentive for you to praise anything in particular and you just be honest, though
While I get your point, as a watch enthusiast I must say something 😅 Yes, this is a sponsor for his videos, but Nomos is actually a very well regarded watchmaker within the watch enthusiasts community. Unlike all these « influencers » promoting cheap (literally 2$ a piece in bulk) quartz Ali Express watches like Daniel Wellington and such , Nomos watches are actual good if not very good mechanical watches.
Agreed that Nomos is a very well regarded watch maker, and for good reason. But also is a terrible fit for this channel. Nomos is Bauhaus cool. These guys are need something a lot more traditional (or vintage pocket watches).
@@Kevin-ik8qk Agreed there. If they were going to go over the top with a heavily sponsored video like this, I'd rather it be for a watch that gentlemen and watch enthusiasts would actually wear, like Nomos.
It's not just about Nomos. Most of the content on this channel these days is esentially product videos for Fort Belvedere. Like this one - an advertisment for corduroys, ties, pocket squares, buttonieres... Hands down for building the brand. But the new content has little added value and is mostly recyclation of older videos with Fort Belvedere products.
@@Lukas-tl3xw it must be hard to keep coming up with new and unique content about such a specific era of men’s fashion. I wonder if this shift was inevitable at some point
We tried them with pleats, but because of the heavy fabric, they looked too bulky! Flat fronts are the best for our cords, but stay tuned for pleated pants 😉
As a watch enthusiast, i like Nomos. But their aesthetic is a bit too fashion forward and minimalist. It looks like a DW to be honest. Id suggest a JLC master ultra thin. Or something of that sort. Understand that you guys have a sponsorship with them, but i dont think this video was the one to showcase. And i like Preston as a presenter, but i think youre missing an opportunity to showcase slimmer looks on him. A lot of younger guys, like myself, dont do well with classic looks. You can have Preston really show off a modern, sleek but classic ensemble. Just my .02
I’ve always loved clothes and dressing. I started watching fashion videos like yours when I was stuck at home during the Covid lockdown, which I find interesting. However when I go anywhere I feel you’re preaching to the choir. Now that the lockdown is over I’m traveling again. When I travel to Europe I’m reminded how bad American men dress. Why do American man dress so bad?
I'm in the states I'm a trucker I wear brown leather steel toe cowboy boots Matching belt. Blue jeans a florescent Yellow tee shirt and a blue FR rated snap button work shirt with the safety stripes. Tucked in. I don't wear novelty tees or offense shirts. I do wear shorts blue jean but himed not cut offs. Short sleeve, never no sleeve. Tennis shoes not flipflops.
@@jerrykinnin7941 sir that trucker's look is not bad at all in my opinion as an european. Because of my job i have to live with that satorial lifestyle but honestly i think it pretty uncomfortable one way or another. I take any chance to put on my white Tshirt and a pair of Levis Jeans. Those Cowboys boots is a very special item here in Germany. Young people like me love them much. Boys or girls everyone just want to have at least one pair of Cowboy Boots. We european don't look down to american way at dressing at all. We love it and infact mimic it a lot. The way american dress just so creative and honest like the american way of life. I myself dream about driving motorbike alone in Nevada's dessert and once in my life can witness the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
1:10 why of course, why would one wear a three piece suit to the grocery store. Why not morning attire? But seriously, I literally wear a three piece suit everywhere. Except the gym, because I don’t go to the gym.
cotton and lien and short sleve shirt help I live in Texas and it can be extremely hot and humid most of the year at least 38c to 43c. I hope this helps
These guys's outfits wont work in real tropical climate. I'm currently living in Saigon. Even those linen and seersucker suits can become too much to handle when the temperature goes above 37°c. I realized that in tropical climates accessories and fitness is the king. Instead of wearing an off white linen suit like 2 years ago now i go for a versace silk shirt, white linen trousers, beige belgian loafers, prada sunglasses, gold cuban chain and a gold blue Rolex Sub. And don't forget having a fit body first!
Hey, could you give some tips or tricks to guys with long hair, even from the perspective of short-haired fellas? would really help. and ofc amazing content you are putting out there.
An undeniable truth often disregarded is that the time value of money fundamentally influences fashion choices. Certain styles may indeed represent an investment toward an elevated standard of living, a testament to one's discernment and taste. However, it is prudent to acknowledge that such an investment, while potentially rewarding, is not an absolute prerequisite for overall well-being and contentment.
Supuestamente, aquí se pueden ver los vídeos en español, lo cual es totalmente falso. Se pueden activar los subtitulos, es cierto. Pero son a destiempo y es molesto.
@@gentlemansgazette Its not that it was a suprise, it was that the presentation was a little heavy handed and not integrated that well. It doesn't need to be the focus of several different segments. The watch is an accessory, but it almost sounded in an instance or two that you were building the outfit around the watch.
I would almost prefer if they got sponsored deals with products that had nothing to do with men’s fashion. Then it could just be the obligatory 30 second “thanks to our sponsor today” pitch and we get on with the video. The fact that the product seems to be the focal point of the video, and recognizing the dude obviously isn’t as thrilled about it as he’s pretending to be, gives it a bit of a disingenuous quality That is below the usual standards of the channel
There's a world of difference between looking the standard "well dressed" (coordinated or compatible colors, patterns, and fabrics matching) and looking sexy and cool well-dressed. If you don't know the difference, you should look at Tom Ford's Project Upgrade videos. Before you go out and spend money on something that will make you look "neat", do some research and legwork and find something that makes you stand out and look "hot" instead of just quaint or nice
If you see tom ford and then look here, the ill fitting galore, you will know. That man know how to wear a jacket and cares for his body. But he is too vain and show too much skin in my opinion.
A watch or wallet sponsorship is normal for youtubers, and you're fortunate to partner with a good brand. However, please steer clear of clothing sponsorships in general. It gives the impression of bias and inauthenticity, and is the reason I stopped watching other menswear channels like RMRS.
Ideally it'd be something on-brand that appeals to your audience, but has little to do with the outfits. This could be something like wallets, fragrances, or menswear magazines. The problem is, you already sell all of those yourself! The other option is more generic ones like VPNs, Honey or Keeps, which all could be tangentially linked to menswear. One that comes mind is grooming products, such as Manscaped or Henson Shaving. I'm quite invested in my razors, and I think it'd match your content well.
I find very little at thrift stores that is worthwhile [especially in larger sizes]. I can't recall exactly when was the last time I owned or wore any wristwatch.
Yes, quality costs more, but as you've pointed out, many times it's just Brand Name cost instead of quality, so I like the vids where we break down who has the ACTUAL better quality shoes, etc., even if I often can't afford those top brands and have to make do with somebody closer to the bottom of the middle or something.
I'm not flying to St. Paul t' get custom shoes any time soon and I've not applied to audition for your presenter spots because I don't feel like moving there, either.
I don't really have any SECRETS to being well-dressed. it's pretty obvious when one is well-dressed that they put a little forethought into the process or something. I intentionally bought THESE clothes because I thought they would look nice together, so that was more a strategy than some mystery.
17:43 "I chose...my cologne because it comes in this green bottle and I wanted to be in line with the Schlossgrün watch." Choosing a fragrance because of the bottle color? ...You might be taking the sponsorship a tiny bit too far, Raphael 😅
The bottle color does indeed line up with the watch - but have you smelled it yet to truly judge whether it's a good fit for this (or indeed any) outfit? 😉
As a life-long resident of Florida, our wicked summers have made me appreciate linen. The wrinkles are a trade-off with the lightweight and comfortable fabric. i typically use a steamer to remove the more obvious wrinkles.
Wenn nicht Jeans und T-Shirt so bequem wäre 😊😆 - nein, toller Kanal. Danke Euch, ich stelle mich gerade um. Mit 61 ist der James-Dean-Look langsam naja… lächerlich. Ich lerne gerne von Euch.
Skinny dude isn't employed by the channel purely to look good (which I think he does anyway). He happens to be their most clear, charming and engaging presenter (and probably one of the most personable speakers I've seen on any channel / anywhere), and so is a real asset to the team. He also has a medical condition that can make it difficult for the person to maintain weight for a whole host of reasons (although it's understandable that you might not know this if you're not familiar with the channel), so probably not especially cool to be insulting him in that regard.
He has a body ripe for more fashion forward attire. His body is perfect for oversize or more daring designs. He is the only who can put a gucci and not look like grandma
This channel has significantly added to my personal quality of life. From grooming to suites, you are spot on and appreciated.
Thank you! We're so pleased to be a part of your style journey
"I think for the longest time he didn't even have a tuxedo."

I find very little at thrift stores that is worthwhile [especially in larger sizes]. I can't recall exactly when was the last time I owned or wore any wristwatch.
Yes, quality costs more, but as you've pointed out, many times it's just Brand Name cost instead of quality, so I like the vids where we break down who has the ACTUAL better quality shoes, etc., even if I often can't afford those top brands and have to make do with somebody closer to the bottom of the middle or something.
I'm not flying to St. Paul t' get custom shoes any time soon and I've not applied to audition for your presenter spots because I don't feel like moving there, either.
I don't really have any SECRETS to being well-dressed. it's pretty obvious when one is well-dressed that they put a little forethought into the process or something. I intentionally bought THESE clothes because I thought they would look nice together, so that was more a strategy than some mystery.
Is it just me or do I feel like they should start producing suspenders on there website
Stay tuned! 😉
17:43 "I chose...my cologne because it comes in this green bottle and I wanted to be in line with the Schlossgrün watch."
Choosing a fragrance because of the bottle color? ...You might be taking the sponsorship a tiny bit too far, Raphael 😅
My music of choice today is by Green Day, because that is the color of my watch, and my fragrance bottle.........😅
@@dandiehm8414 🤣
The bottle color does indeed line up with the watch - but have you smelled it yet to truly judge whether it's a good fit for this (or indeed any) outfit? 😉
@@dandiehm8414 What a great idea! Thanks for sharing 💚
@@gentlemansgazette Haha, I haven't. Does it smell green? ☘
Linen get wrinkled just like that… the one no no for me is wrinkled clothes..
Wrinkled fabric looks unkempt
Wrinkling is characteristic of linen, but our guide to warm-weather fabrics is the one for you: www.gentlemansgazette.com/summer-fabrics-guide/?
As a life-long resident of Florida, our wicked summers have made me appreciate linen. The wrinkles are a trade-off with the lightweight and comfortable fabric. i typically use a steamer to remove the more obvious wrinkles.
FIRST!
I'd like to see Preston in dumpy outfits more often. Let's see the contrast between his well-dressed look and Preston in a t-shirt and joggers.
Not me. I don't want to see anyone in dumpy clothes.
If you are sponsored by nomos you should say that in these words. Ethics
Wenn nicht Jeans und T-Shirt so bequem wäre 😊😆 - nein, toller Kanal. Danke Euch, ich stelle mich gerade um. Mit 61 ist der James-Dean-Look langsam naja… lächerlich. Ich lerne gerne von Euch.
A real rogue's gallery of odd fellows. Not an average body in the bunch.
Nomos has one of the most untasteful designs among the watch brands ever!
Preston is hands down one of the least stylish people i know
Skinny dude needs to go nothing looks good on him
I disagree - Preston has several very nice outfits shown on the channel.
Preston always looks nice. Team Preston!
Skinny dude isn't employed by the channel purely to look good (which I think he does anyway). He happens to be their most clear, charming and engaging presenter (and probably one of the most personable speakers I've seen on any channel / anywhere), and so is a real asset to the team.
He also has a medical condition that can make it difficult for the person to maintain weight for a whole host of reasons (although it's understandable that you might not know this if you're not familiar with the channel), so probably not especially cool to be insulting him in that regard.
He has a body ripe for more fashion forward attire. His body is perfect for oversize or more daring designs. He is the only who can put a gucci and not look like grandma
