I think an important item lacking is books. Nice leather bounds, first editions, new translations. I’d love to receive a nice hardcover tome commemorating my achievement in knowledge of a topic
It’s my favorite collection that I have, I agree. You level up your self-esteem, continuing to be proud of yourself and appreciate the journey of collecting books, and you just want to keep going. Building your own library of the 5/5 books you love is the best thing in my opinion.
I'm glad you mentioned artwork. It's such an underrated thing in the whole "gentleman" lifestyle these days. Everyone talks about their bespoke suits and their expensive cigars and wine, but nobody ever talks about artwork.. Once upon a time, commissioning a fine painting or garden sculpture was right up there alongside a bespoke suit and expensive piece of furniature. The camera obviously took away the need to have a portait painting of ones self... but that's not all people commissioned. People commissioneed scenes of religion, mythology, history, all kinds of things that a camera could never produce. Where has it gone? If there are artists with the skill, can this once again become a thing? I advocate for this becoming a thing!
A commissioned portrait will always outlast a photograph. Both in terms of physical and aesthetic longevity. Gainsborough paintings are still just as great (if not better) today, and haven’t aged like a 1995 Nikon photograph
@@Sam-gs8iw It’s unfortunate. Modernity has really veered away from ornamentation in every way. Floater frames or minimalist frames and ‘around the stretcher bar’ paintings are a very modern aesthetic
My mom bought me a Montblanc 149 when I was in law school, and I used it to wrote my exams. Years later, my oldest daughter destroyed the nib playing with it, and I put it out of my mind. Last year, after 25 years I got the urge to replace the nib for almost 400 dollars. Now it sits in a stand on my desk at work and I use it whenever I have to sign a lot of documents. I have a rolex datejust, black and gold jacque marie mage eyeglasses and my 149, and while they were expensive I've had them for years and they make me indescribably happy every day, it was easily worth the money for the small moments of enjoyment.
When I made it thru SF Training and earned the Green Beret in 1998, I got myself a Colt M1911A1 and an original Emerson CQC Knife. My oldest son Graduates Law School in a Year, I'm giving him the knife.

Artwork sounds strange but is actually a good choice. My dad once went to New Orleans for a vacation and family meet. Commissioned some guy to create what I think is one of the best pieces of art I’ve ever seen. Even has this amazing style of using huge clumps of paint that dried and poke out more than a half inch in some spots. One of the first things I think about when I think of him.
After mentioning that I would like to buy myself a nice watch I got it as a gift from my wife for my 60th birthday. That's "engraved" in one's mind and heart forever!
I bought a Bulova watch when I retired from the military because it was a watch my dad wore when he was in the military. I also have a Bvlgari watch that a military brother gave me. I smoke a few cigars a week but have some stashed for certain occasions, my retirement cigar sat for 20 yrs waiting. I had a few custom suits made when I was overseas. I also have artwork from different countries I been to and local artists like when I was in NOLA and NYC
Nice !! I am a busy single mom But love this channel as I have one son and 3 grandsons - 2 sons in law. Low income Here but want tradition to be back at least in small ways! I like your attitude 🤣🤣
Fountain pens have lots of different types of nibs for different writing styles. I prefer flex nibs and stubb/italic nibs as they accentuate the curves and flow in one's handwriting which looks amazing.
It was great to hear about buying a watch, and saying Rolex isn't the only brand to go for. Casio, Seiko, Hamilton, Sinn, Tudor, Omega, Grand Seiko and all the rest are fair game.
I definitely reward myself, with pocket watches and rings, but when it comes to paying myself, that goes along the lines of bullion and coins. I do save cash yet convert much of my earnings into "God's money"
After the hollidays and some extra holiday and overtime pay, I got myself a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers I’d been waiting to get. Definitely satisfied and it felt good to finally get them.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 I like them so far. Had a bit of a hiccup with my first pair having a manufacturing issue with the left boot’s sole. The lug was taller than the right boot so they felt uneven and uncomfortable. The manager at my local store was really awesome and let me exchange them for a new pair.
Artwork is such an excellent choice not just for rewarding oneself, but for the enjoyment, fulfilment, and beauty also. Not to mention that supporting artists is one of the most worthwhile and time honoured things a gentleman can do. Buying original pieces as opposed to prints is always better. I live in Australia and use a site called Bluethumb where artists can sell their original works. But I'm sure there are many more similar sites.
After receiving an inheritance I purchased a piece of art from a studio that I had admired for years. It hangs proudly on my living room wall where I enjoy it every day. Thanks Mom!
An idea not mentioned would be a custom piece of furniture. One of the most masculine styles of furniture I have seen is Campaign furniture. Classy and elegant.
Due to lifestyle change (retirement) I've finally gotten to buy "dress clothes" for travel. I've taken a lot of tips from you guys in the past 18 months and am quite happy and proud of the things I've amassed, including jewelry and accessories. I do have a question however. I'm a big guy, and obviously, the suits I've purchased had to be fit for a good look. But I've found I detest wearing a belt. I keep my jacket closed at all times, so, is it ok to just wear suspenders and ditch the belt, like I have been... ?
Suspenders are more than acceptable, they can even look nice with certain outfits! Even if you take off your jacket, don’t feel the need to hide the suspenders. Have fun on your style journey
Since you’re a big guy, it’s actually better to wear suspenders! It keeps the waist up without tightening the hips. Also you look like a detective, which I love btw lol
THANK YOU for putting artwork in your list! As a classical artist it’s my dream to help others commemorate and reexperience special moments in their lives
I will come back to this Video when I pass my general chemistry class with a B+ or more! If I can’t conquer a hill then there’s no way I can win an industry!
When i graduated high school, i bought myself a Citizen watch. When i graduated college, i bought myself a Rolex watch. When i retire, I'll buy myself a Corvette. I've earned it.
Thanks, Kyle for several excellent suggestions on items to purchase to treat oneself I looking at investing in a quality fountain pen since writing with fountain pens is truly a passion of mine just recently retired from secular employment which is definitely achieving a milestone so now's the time to reward myself again thanks for another great video!
Reward yourself with things that you really enjoy but you cant afford easily or often. I dont have any need for a pen, watch or cufflinks. I like other stuff: i have a nice collection of guitars, I travel to other countries every 3-5 years, some bottles of very good wines and colognes.
I like the artwork suggestion. I used to be an avid collector years ago but haven't even thought much about it in recent years. Maybe it's time to be on the lookout!
Buying a nice camera for a trip or a event could be nice, because then it's a reminder of that achievement and you can capture so many more amazing moments with it.
I'm an artist myself and have been following the gazette for a year now, it has vastly improved my lucky with the ladies and now i'm wondering if you possible could do a video for artist trying to work their way into the contemporary art scene
Every year for my birthday i smoke my all time favorite cigar, the padron 1926. Its of cuban quality without the hassle and its the best tasting cigar ive had and saving it for my birthday makes it special.
Very solid suggestions, Kyle! I think a lot of these would also make for very nice gifts for others!! I like how at 11:55, Tom berates Hellboy for not using match "It preserves the flavor," then proceeds to hold a match with the phosphorus STILL COMBUSTING to Hellboy's cigar. Yes Tom, he can tell a difference, but it's difficult to decide which tastes worse! 😜
When I am ordained, I intend on getting a tattoo. It will be a cross with "In Hoc Signo Vinces" (with this sign, you shall conquer) on my right shoulder.
So true - a visit to a michelin starred restaurant is truly the perfect celebration! As a bonus, you can dress up, throw on your luxury watch and enjoy the best top shelf alcohol ;)
I think I'll buy a whisky from my birth year or an independent bottler from a distillery that's interesting and tastes my liking。like Clynelish or Lagavulin
@@gentlemansgazette thank you , i have watched already . I mean we need guide on how to buy or what to lool for for a safari jacket , details , fabrics , weight , designs and colors
Of all of the items and things that I have decided to own that have been worth it for personal enjoyment, the Montblanc 149, RM Williams boots, and my vintage Stanwell Pipe, have been the most valuable conversation starters, and items that have gotten me ahead the most. At this point in time a Rolex is the uniform item of a newly signed college athlete and there's a reason why their aftermarket is plummeting.
A pen is useful. Wine and cigars eh. Sometimes enjoyable but for big events I'd rather buy jewelry. And go with something actually expensive thatll hold value and be useful to hand down.
Pinky rings are not my thing. I can understand wearing class rings but only on certain occasions. You can have a class ring as a souvenir. Tie clips can also be great buys.
I'll be graduating school soon, and I want to buy this expensive Maison Margiela suit that costs around 1300$. I don't know if I should pull the trigger, as it is a major achievement, yet it is very expensive.
Go for it! You earned it! Life is short my friend. Live it up every day. You don’t want to look back one day and wish you had done things differently. Congratulations! 🍾 🎉🎊
Correction, some of the best cigars today are from Nicaragua, and Dominican Republic, like Padron, Davidoff, Dunbarton Tabacco, Arturo Fuente, Oliva serie V Melanio...(with all do respect), not cuban.
our usual go tos are nicaraguan cigars, nice bottles of port or scotch, and prints from a local artist of our choice are our usual ways of treating ourselves. oh, and meerschaum pipes.
Hello GG. I have got a question. What does Preston’s G lapel pin mean? Geometry/god or gentlemen’s gazette? It is cool. I like the forgot me not flower lapel pin. If you have some in your shop please tell me. Greetings from Germany.
As someone who lives in europe, where cuban cigars are common, I can confidently say that they are vastly over rated. If you buy a box of cubans, expect to find at least a quarter to a third of them rolled so tight they’re unsmokable. Also, they generally have to be aged for two, three or even four years before the aromas really develop. I’d recommend a good quality NC, like Rocky Patel. You’ll get a superior product for less money, and as NC’s generally are made with aged tobacco, you can enjoy them straight out of the box.
Nice idea and thank you for making it Kyle. Although I'm a regular bespoke clothing customer I'm financially conservative and I don't like the idea fo buying something to celebrate a success. Isn't the success enough in itself?
Another excellent video! Kyle what are your thoughts on hoodies being worn under a casual blazer? or do you feel it's more of a college kid look? Other wise I can throw on a crew neck underneath when it's cold instead. I'm sure it's all personal preference but just curious. Keep up the good work gents!
A hoodie with a blazer is quite the formality mash-up! Definitely stick with the crew neck for now. Remember that a V neck will pair with an odd jacket the best.
@@gentlemansgazette Thanks for the valuable feedback truly appreciated! I know it gets difficult for you all to respond to all supporters but whenever you do have the chance it's truly helpful. I completely agree by the way so for now I stick with my crew neck since I prefer to skip ties most of the time although someday I may want to get at least a couple V-Necks since lately I've been starting to wear Dress shirts more often when the weather is cooler. Out here it gets extremely hot so I also prefer to skip heavier Wool and Turtlenecks. I plan on adding a couple Herringbone Cardigans as well since I feel they would go nicely with all my shirts. Are Crewnecks considered more casual? That's my main goal with the majority of outfits. I may have to re watch your sweater video again in case I missed something. If I ever get some patterned sport coats then I would definitely wear the V-Necks underneath though as you suggested. Right now I have casual cotton Blazers with patch pockets that you can dress up or down making them completely versatile. I also have a Wool that is more dressy. I may ask again on a future video but for V-Necks what colors would you recommend would pair well with all shirts? I always enjoy learning about the background of the many garments you feature so thanks for all the effort you put into the videos.
I know this may be slightly off topic, but I have been trying to find a quality tailor somewhere close to the US Midwest as I am from Indianapolis. However I cannot seem to find a vetted tailor near me. I would not mind traveling a few hours to another state. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I recently graduated from university and want to celebrate with a bespoke suit. Thank you!
