    These videos are getting thousands of views but the “likes” are in the hundreds. People, PLEASE like the videos. It might seem silly but it’s very important in the channel promotion. This channel deserves at least 100,000 subscribers. Currently it’s just under 50K, which is an improvement. It is growing. But we, the viewers, must do our best to promote it.

      Stylistically, it can be very difficult (expensive) to do... but where it matters most, in who you are and how you carry yourself... that it what makes a true gentleman. I like a lot of what Hugo Jacomet has to say about what it is to be a true gentleman, it more focuses on the internals; you can find him if you search of 'Sartorial Talks' or 'Parisian Gentleman'. I would find the video 'Being a Gentleman in 2024'.

      @@aChappist Agree, it is not always about how you dress yourself. Even in swimwear you can be a true gentleman. It is about manners and how you adress the people around you and how you present yourself. Seen so many people dressed well in great suits but behaved like bafoons.
