Teaching about menswear and classic men’s style with the educational approach of a professor, the Gentlemen Scholars Club delivers in-depth lessons, quick hits of knowledge, advice, reviews and how-to information for those who want to learn. My content will always be niche, stuff that most other menswear creators will not think about or talk about the same way. So the aim is never to be mainstream but to invite those who are curious and intellectual about menswear, no matter who you are.

Classic Menswear Style Idea: "Black Down the Middle"
Not sure if it’s the lighting but I really like that shade of camel / tan. I find most to be far to light for my liking. I love the size of the lapels. What’s your opinion of the fit and quality? It looks great.
Thanks for making this video, i haven't seen a lot of people address this problem at all, more frustratingly most people like to pretend it doesn't exist. The boots i got are pretty premium, so for the price they are, i don't feel comfortable modifying them, they're still under warranty so it'll be better if i just return them.
Scissors
How do the sizes work? Humes
True to size
Looking for the feather color
How do these shirts compare to proper cloth? Looking for remote mtm for thicker oxford shirts like Drake’s and now I am interested in trying out these fabrics you have mentioned. Any advice?
Proper Cloth use a lot of Thomas Mason, so those would be the same fabrics. Depends on whether you want this kind of collar
This is very useful thank you. Some heel grips have helped with a pair of penny loafers but I think in future I will order a half-size down if possible.
Seems like great advice. Thank you!
Great vid, thanks for information..
Thank you for the info... please keep posting.
such a cool video. I really enjoyed listening to your explanation about the history and features of the coat. Thank you.
I am looking at a pair of Kurt Geiger loafers, i wear a size 10.5 but they only have a size 10 or size 11, i have a narrow foot and I am a true 10.5, would you recommend that i size down to a 10 or go up to an 11, Thank you
I just came across your videos - unfortunately it doesn't look like you are posting much these days. Just wanted to say these are great and I appreciate your insights.
i bought heel grips but thea dont work on my loafers :((
do you know which mill the donegal herringbone is from?
From the Private White site: Outer cloth: 760g wool. The origin is 'Donegal Yarns': the last remaining spinner of the product in Donegal, Ireland. The tiny mill has been spinning that distinctive flecked yarn since the 19th century, and the Kilcarra tweed we used in our coat deliberately echoes the feeling of the very first incarnations. The mill also dyes, blends, cards and spins all itself - all in a tiny operation between the heather-topped hills and the Irish coast.
Excellent and very informative. Thank you.
My shrunk cashmere sweater with the moth holes I got for 25cents at a garage sale in 2017 is still the best piece of clothing I own.
I appreciated the suggestions, but,you missed one other option..that being shoe inserts ..eg..Dr Scholls ,leather insoles..
How tall are you? Considering between contemporary and slim right now myself.
5'11" 165 lb
Where is your shirt from?
The Gaudery, I believe. Their TG Collar
May I know how tall are you sir?
5'11"
@@gentlemenscholarsclub Thank you!
Great channel, mate. Many thanks, and keep 'em coming!
What shirt is that please?
I believe that is from The Gaudery, their one-piece collar shirt (known as TG collar). Almost all my shirts are in this style.
A better comparison would’ve been to compare a 38 Slim to a 38 Contemporary
I totally agree with everything you said. Against common opinion, I can’t get into navy for a sport coat.
What's the shirt you have on? Looks nice!
That is Bellisario one-piece collar, MTO. They have good customization at a decent price.
this is really useful and agree they look very similar. your point about seasonality actually convinced me to pick up both trousers so i can have tweak the look since the jacket is a 4 seasoner, but matching the footwear is not something i had considered before
Great video. What about insoles?
hard to know what to make of this without jacket or body measurements, or sizes
Well, the two different cuts can be compared
Fine sartorial advice. Thank you
Prologue or Anthology overall for you?
Anthology
I bought Dr martens loafers and ofc they don’t do half sizes (I use size 9 regularly) and when I bought them I ofc rushed to buy it as they fit well with my foot’s width. Just not the length.. they do say the shoe will stretch so it was a mistake by my side. I can’t return them now since I bought them in NY so this video is the next best thing
This was very helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
I have 3 of them..one navy blue with red and orange band, a white one with a green band and an air force blue one .Love all of them and wear them often.
C est pas plus simple d’acheter sa pointure
Their quality and fits are not consistent at all,their MTM is horrible,their fabrics are hit or miss,the last linen shirts I bought from them was 1 white and 1 blue,the white linen shirt had better heavier fabric and fits okay but the blue linen was bad in fit and horrible in fabric,the blue linen became unwearable after one wash,how can they make the same shirt styles but the white had better fabric than the blue?,I reached out to customer service and they refused to do anything about it,so far I have 2 MTM shirts and 1 blue linen shirt that are unwearable,I have bought a total of 6 shirts from SPIER & MACKAY and 3 of them are unwearable.
You seem to have a personal vendetta against Spier & Mackay. If you're not happy with their product, leave a review to THEM, so they can adjust whatever you find so horrible. Spewing spam in YT comments is not going to do anything besides tire your thumbs out.

Gentleman thank you alot !! i like my loafers ! only classy people do !
I wear size 9s and they are too tight and 10 size is ok but my heels slip out while walking fast, but at the toes they are relaxed
nice shirt, could i get a link for the shirt, please
It's from The Gaudery thegaudery.com/
Chunky knit with pattern and/or texture really is the key to avoiding the Ned Flanders vibe. It just makes it more interesting in general. I like wearing them over flannel shirts and under a barbour jacket or field jacket for rugged outdoors vibe.
I wear the chunk up in da club!
Thanks for showing the distinctions between the different types of shoes. Learned a lot from the intro and rest of the video.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful video! I purchased a navy blue cotton cricket jumper (Tommy Hilfiger) with green and white band. I was curious how I would wear it. I was thinking about pairing it up with a white button down shirt and dark blue jeans or beige chinos.
This is good 3:20. But the most effective way is to really find your own size or yet, go to the store and try it own.
Yeah, thanks for this review …. Am a big fan of loafers👌🏼🔥
I solved my problem with a Carlo Ronaldi Horsebit Goodyear Wealt that was my size number, but to DEEP so my feet got into the tip and my heels always slipped, I tried with a leather heel grip and nothing, then with a silicone gel midsole and the shoes got to tigh they hurted and also slipped, but not with socks. I solved it by using a very fine leather insole and glueing a silicone half tip insole so my feet doesn't got into the tip. K can use my loafers now with socks and they dont slip anymore.
Toe box fillers?
What a professional presentation. Thank you.
That three color combo (grey,navy,white)does not spell casual.There is no fun in that combo,IMO.Going to college,prestigiuos,royal,these things come to mind.
