    So glad GG mentioned “Once Upon A Time in America”, hands down one of the greatest, most overlooked gangster movies of all time. Sergio Leone’s parting shot and magnum opus.

      Such a shame people’s minds are stained by stereotypes and will say and comment pejoratively that it looks costumey.
      It’s simply one of the best suits he owns in my humble opinion.

    I love Sven’s move into putting into practice the stereotype of the gangster in a pinstripe double breasted suit and signature white banded fedora.
    If we get people to get rid of the ideas of stereotypes in mind, those classic suits wouldn’t be considered costumey by the average joe that doesn’t understand classic menswear.
    Another honorable mention of a stereotype is the top hat and monocle combo which in the idea of some people is the representation of the aristocracy or the british entrepreneur.
    Although funny, what is sad is how people comment pejoratively the way those people see those stereotypical outfits.

    One of my favorite menswear shows (i know the video is about movies but I feel like talking about a show) is Sherlock. The one with Benedict Cumberbatch. I love Mycroft and how he's always rocking the 3 piece suit, and Sherlock with his consistent lack of a tie. It really shows how different the characters are, with Mycroft being so proper and Sherlock being so out there.

    Glad the Sting was at number one, as Robert Shaw is my favorite actor of all time and this film was an absolute joy and Shaw made a convincing mob boss, he projected power, intelligence and seriousness into every role he played . As a kid, for some reason I gravitated towards Black and White film & TV like Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd and my favorite, the TV series 'The Buccaneers' with Robert Shaw.

    Hello Gentleman gazette people, I've been watching your videos for a long time and i really admire and appreciate what you all do to keep class alive. I've a little suggestion- there's a song called Style by robin and the 7 hoods released in 1964. As the name suggests, its about style and its classic. Hence, i feel it is your field of expertise. It'll be fun to watch your video on your opinions about the song, and ofcourse, the suits in the song.
