“Start your own legacy” very wise words sir. I love that intro!
TGV, that intro was absolutely bonkers, I loved it! 😂
Taylor's sandlewood cologne, Fred perry polo shirts , Ben Sherman shirts, Russel and Bromley tasseled loafer . And genuine Brut 53 after shave . 🇬🇧
Bought the Floris 89, and my wife said: "Why do you smell like an old geezer?" :)
LOL Well, people did tend to be more classy back in the day right!? ;-)
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Let´s bring back the classy! I can recommend their aftershave balm that has the same scent.
A daily British item for me is my Kent shaving brush. I bought it at Fortnum and Mason years ago and I use it every day. Cheers TGV!
I’m watching this on the TV, and my wife walks in, sees TGV talking to a T-Rex, and slowly walks away mumbling “isn’t that the watch guy?” Lol
Hey TGV greetings from Cheshire, love all your videos by the way!! My stand out British brand has to be Barbour, the best coats and jackets in the world!! Keep up the great work fella.....
Thank you Simon,
I could not agree more, I had a wax one when I was a child, amazing stuff.
I might have to revisit the brand.
Best regards,
TGV
“Having Prince Albert for dinner”.
Do I detect a nod to Thomas Harris and Hannibal Lecter?
What i remember most about Scottish Grandfather, was the Coal Tar soap, Aramis and Brylcream in his hair. He wore tweed and loved to hunt and fish for trout. He also wore a very nice 9ct Roamer watch (which was passed down to me). I guess my Parker pen is something British, that i use on a daily basis. Great show again.
Regards
Stu
A little bit of the old Urban Gentry is my recommendation. Your are British.Always a pleasure to watch your great videos TGV. Thanks, Cheers,
Thumbs up for the intro 🤣
I’m having Prince Albert for dinner 🍴
EXCELLENT Intro! Had me in stitches!
Greetings from Australia TGV!
Thank you Kevin, so glad to here :D
Best regards,
TGV
There is a soothing vibe in your clips that makes me keep coming back for more! I just checked out Carl friedrik products and ...wow! I am starting to like everything leather more as I get older. Also I just got a Seiko sna411 and put it on a NATO. Now I'm a happy man! 😄
Been wearing Clarks Desert Boots and Chukkas for decades. Another British tradition my wife and I enjoy is Pimm's Cup. First had it at a restaurant across the street for Hampton Court, sitting on a patio over looking the Thames. Been hooked even since.
Been watching some of your old stuff and to be honest I thought is this guy for real, but this video convinced me, really entertaining and I'm in. Don't go changing.
The LandRover Defender. Never leave home without one
Fantastic Intro and content old boy :) Another fabulous upload. Thank you! :)
LMAO Hugo is pure class. See, don't mistake kindness for weakness, classy and vicious! Great vid once again. I have all those areas covered except the pack, I have a Nike that holds all my undesirables nicely LOL
LOL you have the best intros on youtube hands down wahahahaha. As someone who owned a tea store I apreciated this to the next level!
My favourite tea is the English breakfast blend from Whittard's. Pricey, but simply divine!
Very cool video. One of my favorites thus far. I am proud to be half British, and thank you for spotlighting some quality British made goods. Enjoyable as always. Cheers.
Always a pleasure and I am equally proud to here from another fellow hand Brit.
Onwards and upwards my friend!
Thank you for sharing that.
Best regards,
TGV
Omg yes, great start to the video, very entertaining. Please don't change. :)
Even if we're having a completely different styles i enjoy these videos. Well done.
I like this type of videos the most. I'm very in touch with my European heritage (German royalty and the Burtons of England). A more direct source for brands like these is greatly appreciated.
Total class. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Enjoyed it.
Oh. My. God. That was the best intro ever! You keep getting better and better day by day! Keep up the tremendous work you do! I really appreciate it and getting inspired by it too. Thank you!
Cheers!
Excellent video as always. What about HP sauce a very British product originating from India, if I am not mistaken.
The other thing to remember with quality items is that it’s all about £’s per wear. Watches for example, can cost a lot but can be passed on through generations so not really that expensive when you look at today’s throw away culture.
indeed i've got a TAG Heuer...it was a months wages when I bought it...in 4 years it must be closeing on 20p a time now even figuring in the upkeep costs
I own three Kent combs, the oldest is 5 years old now, best $10 I ever spent on that one, still works and looks brand new.
Personally I have a wide tooth for after I shower, a fine tooth pocket comb for styling and maintaining a hairstyle throughout the day, and a mustache comb that doesn’t see much use recently (shaved beard).
They really are the best bang for your buck for what you get.
Love the guest appearance from Hugo there. Ernest, the stag, samurai and alien next 🤣
Fantastic intro
Oh dear, dear, only you could come up with a dialog with a T-rex. Brilliant.
Fantastic vid. Great message and still fun enough to not be stuffy or condescending.
As an Englishman myself (living stateside) I adore the London based perfumer Miller Harris and in particular the scent La Fumee. And I can't live without Geo F Trumper's sandalwood shaving soap (with the badger brush of course).
That intro is legendary!!
TGV,
Because of you, I ended up interested in Floris fragrances. I received a few samples from a reputable website and I ended up loving No. 89 and JF! My favorite ended up being JF and I found out that it was developed on my birth year, 1993. You should give JF a try, it smells great and you wont regret it.
Cheers,
Peter
I couldn’t think of anything British that I use often...then I opened up my cupboard. MARMITE! I’m American & I love it. Cheers!
I can't agree that Earl Grey is as British as tea gets. It's a traditional black English breakfast blend. Splash of milk, touch of sugar. Just simple, honest, slightly bitter and astringent, and it caffeinates you. Like, Earl Grey is well British. Don't misunderstand me in this regard. But, there is something universal about the simple and honest nature of a breakfast blend.
Hello Tristano! Hope you are doing well. It has been a couple of years since I last visited your channel. Wow!!! Your channel has grown tremendously since my last visit. Good to see that you are still around and making even better video's than before!!! Keep up the good work and regards from Holland! Cheers, Harry.
Harry!!!
How wonderful to hear from you. Of course I remember you.
Glad to hear you are well and thank you for the well wishes.
Onwards and upwards.
Best regards,
TGV
Being a barber I always recommend my clients get a Kent comb. You can never go wrong with them.
Most impressive ! Salute TGV!
Hello TGV, been watching your show for years and really enjoy it, first time leaving a comment! One of my favourite british products is Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream. Just a fabulous product for all you wet shavers out there. jolly good show, keep it up!
LMAO I love this intro.
Love the intro with Hugo - too funny. Being half English I have a fondness for British made goods too. I'll have to try your tea suggestion - enjoy a good cuppa of Earl Grey. While not something you go for I use my Jaguar XF nearly everyday and my Lotus Elan on weekends. Ciao, John
Haha, funny you mention Lotus, my best friend's father in high school was a test driver fro them, I have fond memories of zooming around in many of their cars.
Thank you John,
Best regards,
TGV
I hope Hugo enjoyed his meal 🤤!
I really enjoyed this video tremendously!
My list of British is as follows (not in order).....
Earl Grey, Bovril, Shepherd’s Pie (I guess all to be consumed), It ain’t half hot mum, Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers & Mind your language. Does Roman Atkinson and Mr Bean count 😳😉?
I will certainly get a Signet ring as you suggested!
Still quite a few more.....however not enough space! Well.....Oh dear, how sad, never mind!
Thx dude!
I love it!!!!
Thank you Philip, and yes, bean counts!!!!
Rowen is a comic genius, big Blackadder fan myself.
Onwards and upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
TGV how could I forget Blackadder?! I still have the full DVD set! Thx again for this video! 😉
Splendid video, old boy!
I use a British made tangle teezer everyday. I only wear Barker shoes (god, how I love them), and my Omega CK2129 has an English-made case (Goldsmiths and Silversmiths, purveyors to Her Majesty) and gets an awful lot of wrist time. Like you, I love to wear British made jackets in the winter, especially, I love my Gloverall Union Jack duffle coat which is very much “in your face” but just too amazing when you walk down the street in London and get so many reactions.
Britannia rule the waves!
Love the recommendations, would also add Geo F Trumper Sandalwood Cologne as an amazing scent
Hi dear TGV!
That pro - intro was killing me! :)) Very sweet, I've smiled a lot! :)
Good fragrances are very important and they match well to a clean body. :)
Sometimes I just cannot choose, but I think the main reason is the lower quality, so, thanks for recommending the Floris products, I'm very curious to look after them!
I loved the Lancome Miracle L'aquatonic ( a green, beautiful fragrance with coriander ) many years ago, and the Prada Amber ( lilac, highly floral, wonderful stuff ).
Thanks for sharing with us your lovely remembrance of your grandfather!
I'm also a big fun of gemstones.
Do you, sir, play chess at all? :)
Loved all the stuffs you discussed about, thank you!
Always pleasure :)
Happy greetings, Robert
Not really a brand but I have a Nicholson 32 sloop built in Havant, Hampshire in 1974. Been upgrading the navigation equipment with Digital Yacht, a Brit brand I’m very happy with. Also just ordered a 38mm Christopher Ward C60 GMT Trident Pro 600. Lots of great brands from the UK.
I am German. This Video leaves me proud to be British and makes me lament the Empire‘s demise. 😎👍🏻
As per Teas those are awesome and twinnings is great too depends on selection..
As per cologne gotta Love Aventus Creed 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼and su much more only things is $$$$
Nice video
TGV may I add one other thing to your list? Truefitt and Hill shave kit. Tried sandalwood, 1805, and Trafalgar. All smell great. Expensive stuff but very good.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!
Spot on sir, thank you for sharing that.
Best regards,
TGV
The introductory compilation was fabulous. Always thinking outside the box Sir. Made me laugh. You have heightened my curiosity with your tea and fragrance. I do appreciate your passion for individualism and your heritage, thus what gives us all our personal touch and signature to who we are. One must look past the surface and look at the soul, a true gentry will do this. Nevertheless never forget where you come from but embrace where you are and own it, which you have done with class and enthusiasm, thank you for sharing. Much respect Sir, keep up the good work. All the best.
I use Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar shave cream, and aftershave balm every time I shave. It's a nice bit of affordable luxury to start the day right.
One more of your cool lifestyle tips TGV! Please make more of them! - nice to know which fragrance Bond really uses🙂 also your 24min 24sec everyday cardio got part of my day...
Hilarious - loved it. Love the humor and the content. Cheers sir, well done.
Brilliant! You've given me more inspiration to continue to work towards becoming more of a gentleman and seek ways to pass on great traditions to my boys. Thanks for all you do.
Not really luxury brands as such, but as a woodworker I have found it worth seeking out classic British made tools...they kind of lost their edge (pun intended) after about the early 1970's, but post war Stanley planes are a delight to use and older chisels from Marples and Robert Sorby have a feel all of their own and hold an edge as well as the very best of today's tools.
OMG, you just took me waaaay back with the mention of Stanley planes to my childhood in the tool shed tinkering about.
I had no idea they were British! Thank you for that little trip down memory lane.
As always you comments are a pleasure.
Best regards,
TGV
I also love modern Clifton planes and Ashley Isles chisels.
Isn't Stanley an American brand?
I love the signet rings. Being Army im looking to get one with my regimental badge and service dates
This is one of the better intro's tgv
Keep up making great videos
And as always
Have a nice day
Thank you so much, wonderful to hear from you.
It has been a while AVC! Welcome back.
Best regards,
TGV
TGV,
That’s brightened my day thank you. I’m going to throw out there Sherbet Dip Dab, it’s not a luxury but one of life’s simple pleasures that never disappoints.
Hahaha! Just when I was thinking that TGV was becoming repetitive and bored, He introduce T Rex. Well done! Keep it up
Hi TGV, love your Chanel. I have just read about a reissue of the Newmark 6BB produced for the british RAF (part of the Fabulous Four). I would love to see a vid of yours about that topic. Best regards!
Trisano, your intro was an absolute hoot! My favorite British brand I use every day is Taylor of Bond Street shaving soap/cream whilst using a proper boar’s hair shaving brush and safety razor. Cheers!
Thank you Michael, excellent choice, I could not agree more!
Best regards,
TGV
Great video. I loved it. Of course, TGV could probably do a video on the history of the commode or chamber pot and I would watch it. 😂
From one Londoner to another, I loved this video mate!
Thank you my friend, very much appreciated.
Best regards,
TGV
I can’t say I have a favorite as an artist but when I use them, I found Winsor & Newton paints to be really high quality. I guess it’s credit to their heritage as a brand.
Speaking of British brands, you could use a Bossons head on the wall behind you.
Great video, cheers!
Ps- big fan of Tayor of Old Bond street sandalwood shaving cream. (The rose is nice too).
Interesting video TGV, please remember that quality remains long after the price is forgotten.
Hilarious intro. I really love Britain and I'm relatively often on vacation there. Very nice video TGV.
Great video. The British make many fine things especially fine tailored suits (Saville Row), yummy jams and jellies, famous sport cars, and produce some of the best actors in the world. But that side, the last time I was in London I shopped at Harrods and bought myself a beautiful leather wallet. Great stuff.
Cool Philly architecture book. I was born and raised in South Philly not far from the stadiums. Aka cheesesteak and water ice capitol of the world among other things.
I love these videos! What do I do, I wind up buying these items he highlights! Keep up the great videos.
You should make a video on the ring I am very interested in them. I would love to see more stuff from your family [if I remember correctly you have custom porcelains (which I one day hope to have made myself)] I just love tons of weird things for my age (15) like rugs, porcelains, tapestry, umbrellas, clothing, etc, and don’t forget watches!
schoffel gilet, cordings sport jacket and my signet ring, although the gilet is not strictly British, it is something i wear everyday and i feel has definitely been adopted by British field sport culture!
I would check out Sunspel clothing, wonderful British clothing brand. They have been around for a long time, have made clothes for the Royal Navy, and are famous for dressing Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. High quality craftmanship put together with pure British class.
😂 I needed this today. Great fun!
I have always wore a watch. I am 42 and I have always had to have a Casio Gshock. My wife has several baby Gshock's. Anyway I have felt the cellphone has taken away from the watch a lot. Because of a wranglerstar video I found you. I have been splurging on your videos for a month now and I am going for a Seiko 5 or skx for my first tradition watch. Thank you for opening my eyes to this wonderful hobbie.
I truly love this very British middle upper class video, TGV you shall be honoured for services to horology and being a good British gent by the Queen of England.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
British humour is truly one of a kind haha such a funny and great start to a video 10/10 ;)
Amazing Intro! Very funny and beautifully edited with the „phone voice“ and green screen :)
Thank you Frederik :D
Best regards,
TGV
Very fun video, Tristano! Well done. Good to see Hugo in action :) Keep up the good work, I look forward to your next video. Thanks again for following me on Instagram, I feel very honoured.
A pleasure, keep posting great pics.
Thank you JPM.
Best regards,
TGV
Will do, Sir! All the best.
Thanks for sharing! Keep one eye on Hugo whenever Ernest is around - He's quite the lovable little nobleman...don't want a T-Rex after him... : )
I love my Charles tyrwhitt dress shirts - slim fit spread collar/cutaway collar, and my British rock music albums.
Fantastic choices sir, you can't beat wither of those choices.
Very classy, I love it.
Thank you MH,
Best regards,
TGV
Another great vlog, never heard of those brands apart from f&m which is why I enjoy watching you, open my eyes to new brands I will for sure be buying Floris.👍🏽nice one
Awesome intro! What a cool accent hugo has xD
Liked Hugo’s cameo appearance.
Funny that you have your grandfather's pocket watch, as that's one of two things *I* have of my grandfather's as well. And his is a Hamilton, suitably since we're American :-). It's from the 1920s - and still runs! Also have his sword cane - how cool is that? Has his initials engraved on the silver tip of the handle.
The conversation with Hugo was hilarious. Nice work TGV.
I swear, I don’t watch your videos just for the intro’s, but Hugo cracks me up
MACHINE4456 Don’t I know you?
Blair S. No, but I know you 🤔
Conway Stewart fountain pens for me. Quintessentially English. After all, they were good enough for Winston Churchill. :-) Oh yes, and classic Mini Coopers.
Although he also used Onoto pens! Had a number of real Minis but my two classics at present are a Triumph GT6 convertible (made for me as never officially made) and a Morris Minor Traveller - a timber framed car where the wood is structural. I use a Conway Stewart pen every day as the Onotos are for special !
Loved the intro! LOL
love it thank you for sharing this 5 stunning products ,i enjoyed it ,your the best .peace.
Absolutely amazing video as always TGV! My grandfather passed me down my great grandfather’s Parker 51 and it still works beautifully. I can definitely recommend a Parker pen of any sort to anybody. I think they’re classified as luxury, but I might be wrong.
Thank you for the links. I'm going to treat myself this Christmas, I think! A lot of these items go well with winter in my opinion. I drink tea all year, but the spiced tea and Earl Grey are just great in cold weather.
Intro was great loved it
Thank you so much for the video. As I venture into my 30s, I will make sure I build my own legacy for my kids and theirs. Dope intro as well!
Great video, made me homesick for good old blighty! So glad to hear you’re a Prince fan too, I knew you were a top bloke 👍🏾.
One thing, instead of the Lacoste how about a Fred Perry? It’s the quintessential English polo 👌🏾.
That intro MADE this video!!!!
Enjored this immensely! Hugo is actually one of my distant cousins.
Art Gecko lol.
