This guy NEEDS to be in a movie. He is such a character!
Lol
A bad guy in Inglourious Basterds II would be fantastic!
that is perfect@@meathead919
Maybe "M" in a 007 movie.
Like a spy working for Scotland Yard or the Queen?
I’m 16 and obviously inexperienced, this channel really is assisting me in style and gentlemen traits
Same here to be honest.
Same here!
Same age! The lifestyle is great, though.
Did you keep it up?
Same
i realy like that this man gives content for the sake of content and doesnt try to sale his or his partners stuff. so many style chanels watered down to commercial BS with repetitive content.....
Dan G. And also it is not just based on mindless capitalism. They are great!
He does sell his own stuff doesn't he? I have no problem with it, but my only point is he does rightfully try to make money for his content
They do advertise Raphael’s company Fort Belvedere quite a lot, but at the same time it’s not universal in most aspects (all the socks are FB for instance, but Preston commonly wears other brands of cuff links) and I believe that it’s simply because FB is high quality and Raphael owns the company so he has a lot of those products.
I've just found my very first suit. It's a roughly 1000 dollar suit, that I picked up from a thrift store for 15 dollars :P It's in great condition and fits me surprisingly well. I'd say at least a 90 percent fit. Can't wait to get it tailored for a perfect fit. It goes well with the 600 dollar shoes that I got for 20 dollars :)
My god where do you shop?😂
Man, that's a steal. 😂
Once you find a awesome Tailor never ever share his or her name.
that blue vest is incredible! well done sir.
Thank you.
Gentleman's Gazette Here in Mexico there's a tommy hilfiger vest like the that in stores and it looks really good
It's the combination of the blue vest and grey Herringbone jacket.
Doesn’t work with that jacket. The color does, but it’s too much fabric to go with tweed, it’s just bulky looking. Made worse by the awful sloppy huge tie knot.
There are definitely exceptions to the impulse buying discount clothes. I snagged a Michael Kors button down at 75% off and it’s my favorite shirt.
I trust your advice because you do not offer a quick and easy solution. You emphasise the importance of building knowledge and you point out reputed books as a starting point. Your honesty honesty has earned you a sub :)
Thank you for the support!
There's a recycling center close to me, they have racks full of all kinds of clothes for the equivalent of like 1,50 to 3,00 dollars per piece (including sports jackets and even suits among other things). I lost a ton of weight and built a pretty good wardrobe on a very tight budget, of course there's a lot of very outdated stuff but with patience you find a lot, might not apply to other parts of the worlds but I'm in the EU myself. Clothing stores also have pretty decent clearance racks and I've picked a lot of those up as well, they're often the weirder sizes and/or colors but again, with patience I often find something I need
I recently purchased my first suit, a grey check with navy blue stripes I love that suit it’s better than anything I've ever got in my whole life, this channel has really helped me, I never knew suits had this much meaning until I watched this channel, keep up the good work
Others have said it and I agree. In the States, you can buy 5-6 outfits of high-quality, high-end name brand clothes for $100 or less at thrift stores. It is really amazing what you can find. I have walked out of thrift stores with 3 large bags of clothes for $30.00. Clothes that would have probably cost me $500+ at full retail price.
Wow. And I mean WOW. I'm a 25-year-old man who has just now needed this kind of advice, and let me tell you. This is a BLUEPRINT for how to look good. Much thanks to you.
I have to commend you, on your epic suit and glove combination at 4:42. Simply awesome!
Thanks! You can get the gloves here: www.gentlemansgazette.com/shop/accessories/leather-goods/gloves/burgundy-mens-gloves-lamb-suede-leather-unlined
Ok, while I admit that the way these guys dress is too rigorous for my taste, I really appreciate their passion and gentleman-like way of behaving.
A pleasure to watch the videos, keep them coming with the same quality.
Cheers from Romania!
I have made efforts to improve the way I carry myself more as a gentleman since watching his videos
Mr.Schneider is an asset to fashion, gentlemen, and the business savvy dresser around the world. Kudos!
I've known that for a while, and I like that you said it the way you did: if you buy cheap you buy twice. It's like buying the second best or third-best it might be as great as the most expensive item but more competitively priced
I just want to say thank you, for all that you do to educate us on great style. I agree that the most important thing I have learned is to know size and stick with versatile (read plain and timeless) items. Then use your accessories to pop. this will save you tons of time shopping because you can skip the things that don't work and you can shop online with more confidence. since i started watching you and Antonio and Aaron I have trimmed my hair, have a better shave, moved from uniform pants to brand name that fit, had my work shirts tailored and started wearing a bow tie on a regular basis. I am already being courted by other companies. soon I hope to support fort belvedere!!! with more than just thanks.
Good wording on "Most salesman". That logic does not apply to all of us, I deal with a lot of "I've never worn a suit before" customers so I find a clear obligation to educate in what will look right & what proper fit is needed. Honesty is the best policy over getting a sale at the cost ill fitting & outfit choice.
I'm obviously not a man but I REALLY enjoy watching this, so much that I subscribed. I think it's because the tips are generally applicable to everyone wanting to have a timeless quality wardrobe. AND it helps that he's well spoken and has a calming voice
and good looking lol
I wonder if there's an equivalent channel for classic ladies clothes. That must be harder to pull off because it seems like women's fashion changes faster.
@@fountaincap I'm a lady but I would prefer men's fashion. Unfortunately, this isn't historically accurate. I still adore this channel none the less.
You’re a cat
This channel contains good advice for anyone who wants to dress classic - that's a choice to begin with, as some people want to dress fashionable or comfortable or don't think about it at all. I've watched so many of these videos in the last week or so and I can't wait to apply the advice.
I think the emphasis on finding a good tailor is really great advice for looking good on a budget - women's bodies are much more variable than men's so fit is even harder to achieve off the rack, if not impossible.
You would not believe the quality and quantity that you can find at thrift stores.
I got a really sharp winter sports coat for $0.85, and several dress shirts for a few dollars each.
Hand-me-down ties and a life saver as well.
This was the first video of yours that I've seen. And now, after watching almost all your videos and still waiting for new ones all the time to watch while relaxing, I must say that I'm so thankful for what you taught me. And I'm still learning. I'm feeling nostalgic watching this video. Thank you very much! Cheers!
$217 is really impressive. Especially considering that your shoes and pocket square cost you $150 already.
Not if you buy from the thrift store at max you will spend maybe 150 for a three piece suit and shoes
@@kingblue71 I was able to get a pair of ox blood bostonians and black dockers for 18.99 each. A few more dollars on a creme polish and a wax polish has these competing to for the spot of favorite shoe
Wonderful video with lots of important tips and good explanations. Especially the part about salesman.
People in Germany need to hear this. Some think: "If I just spend 800€ for that Hugo Boss suit and a salesman agrees, then it has to be good for me."
My personal opinion: If you do not have the knowledge to buy from a vintage/second hand store, then you should not buy off the rack suits.
Save that 800€ for your Hugo Boss Outfit and get a suit for 200€ more from a tailor instead.
My tip without watching the video is thrift stores. I'm a retired disabled Vet and I have found high end items at them. Some examples are a Burberry coat for 10$ that goes for 2000$ and Ferragamo shoes for 20$ that go for 600$ and the shoes might have been worn once.
Shoulder width is especially important. I don't like it when I put on a jacket and it almost feels like I will dislocate my shoulder or tear the jacket. This is a problem with old, forgotten jackets that people outgrow and they forget that these things might not fit after all those years while it was in the closet.
As a salesman, I agree that you shouldn't always trust a salesman. I have seen countless uneducated salesmen that sell customers items that don't fit, look good or suit the occasion. They simply lack passion and simply are only in it for a job. I try to do my part to change this however so I have educated myself so that I can provide a service rather than simply gain a sale.
A lot of times I’ll watch these videos and observe outfits I like y’all wear.
Adding to 7.: If you have something you don't wear often, protect it against moths which may eat and thereby damage your clothes (especially your blazers/jackets). For example you can hang up some strong-smelling (fresh) lavender or any strong natural perfumed flowers in your closet (moths HATE this) or you can wrap them up in big plastic bags. I recommend the lavender because it adds that nice little touch of freshness to the clothes.
Really great video, thank you for sharing a little bit of your wisdom!
Don't be afraid to go to thrift stores, I have found amazing clothing articles.
It's a shame that GQ has changed, and not for the best. You guys and your channel are great.
I call this the pragmatic chanel. it is down to earth. I dig it. I am an agronomist and feel at home on the chanel. useful.
Well, if you see his other videos you wouldnt say that
All good advice, esp. buying used. Most of my favorite jackets are from estate sales, sometimes still with the tags. Also yes to buying for the long term. Among other old stuff, I still wear a pair of charcoal gray wool flannel dress pants that I bought over 32 years ago.
Very interesting and useful. One thing stood out for me, and that was the comment about variation is sizes - how very true that is: a 44" chest from one manufacturer will fit well, whereas from another it can be too tight to do the top jacket button up. A trouser with a 40" waist will fit with room to spare IF it's a high-waisted cut, but would generally be quite impossible to fasten in the lower fittings that are now so common (I read with envy of the young man below who has a 34" waist: I had once - around 40 years ago!). Even shirt collars vary by a vital half inch or more - so that whereas a 16 1/2" will fit comfortably from one brand, it has to be 17" in another or I should be strangled. For those of us who do not have access to high quality tailoring, or even an alterations tailor, shopping for clothes by mail is fraught with problems: I have to remember which of the three or four shirt makers I use have easier fitting than others; as for jackets and trousers, there's no real alternative other than to visit a store and try them on, or a second-hand clothes shop - or made to measure. And the last of these is now extremely expensive (although worth the money) when you have to factor in travelling to the tailor. The high street tailor is virtually extinct outside of the major cities in the UK - small wonder that so many men are so badly dressed, in ill-fitting polyester or the ubiquitous saggy jeans.
I really agree on the fact that people who work in stores often don’t know what they’re doing.
I went to a very popular clothing store here in Germany (Peek&Cloppenburg), I was in the shoe department and was looking for some brogues since I never owned a pair because I never really cared. I was 16, now 17.
There was a man asking the person working there where he could find loafers.
Of course I knew what he meant and I expected the employee to know what loafers are.
Surprisingly, the employee had no clue what a loafer was.
It was a woman in her mid 30s I would say, with a suit on.
I think this was just bad luck, I know Peek &Cloppenburg...had a very good experience in the past, even measured my sizes

I'm a salesman at men's Wearhouse, and this is so accurate.
Ha Ha I actually bought the "Gentleman - A Timeless Guide to Fashion" second edition in 2010 and learned a lot from it. Love your channel Sir.
All the editions of "Gentlemen" are similar except for some minor changes...
The working class needs your help. I know it's a hard topic, but can you make a video for the "Blue collar workers"? I work for one of the departments in my city where I find myself surrounded by adults who look like they're working in their pajamas. There is no need for that, and it looks really unprofessional. We need more videos like this, and some that go a step further giving more examples. I know this is a hard topic to cover. The men who built the skyscrapers back in the day always dressed well. What happen to that?
Daddy Oh when you say they look they're dressed in PJs, are you referring to the fit or the fabric? Most companies will use a separate service for their unoforms and the quality is usually terrible. I used one service that seemed like every pair of pants was different in every imaginable way. Getting things altered seemed to require a congressional consensus and regularly I wouldn't get all of my uniforms back for the week, even when I wasn't asking for alterations or repairs. It was easier to wear the oversized trash and not make too much noise about it than to not have anything to wear at all.
Once upon a time blu collar workers wore suits in their free time!
Some companies don't require dressing up, so I think that's why they dress down too far. Also, not all of us are aware that dressing for success works. Work clothes from Dickies and Mark's can make us look more professional.
Sense of dress , sense of speech, a lot of things have been lost by labeling them elitist.
Learn to alter your own uniform in your spare times, it will save a lot of money.
Man, you are an amazing inspiration for us aspiring to be well-dressed gentlemen in this free-spirited era. Great job in all of the videos; all are filled with useful information of just the right amount.
Keep making more! God bless you, man!
Thank you, Raphael!! I love this channel and I am striving everyday to become a gentleman such as yourself. You show a great example and I will work to be a gentleman for those around me! I started watching your videos because I want to dress better for Mass on Sundays and now I just want to be good Catholic gentleman 😁❤️🔥
Same Thing Here, Started with a new opportunity in a corporate world , started building my outfits for my work and for Sunday's Church as well 🙌
16 take your hand and sew it yourself! It’s fun,rewarding and relaxing
I've already noticed that vintage is better for budget and looks thanks to your videos and so i've just bought a vintage fedora from 1950 with i think a medium brim in a nice simple grey and a black band. I don't know If i'm right but i've Chosen this one because i usualy wear darker clothes with a light grey jacket so i think these colors suit well to my clothing style.
By the way, i'm french ! And i saw your videos and it changed my mind.
Before i just didn't care about how i dress myself but now i have developed a certain taste for the gentlemen's clothing style.
Thank you for a very clear discussion of the subject. Enjoyed every minute.
I’ve been watching the channel since 2018 and I’ve learned so much about how to dress up correctly. Dressing in combinations and suits is now something legitimately enjoy.
Den Channel demletzt entdeckt.
Der Hammer .
Bin 16 und bin auch dabei mir Outfits zusammenzustellen und bin sehr interessiert an dem Kanal und seinen Tipps .
Danke für so einen grossartigen Beitrag zu dieser Community !
Hi GG.
Just started watching your videos over the past few days and I’m really enjoying them and finding them very useful!
I’m 20 and I’ve just started a sales job in a prestigious jewellers. I’m really into vintage 1940’s styles and have been since I was a child and your channel is fantastic. I look forward to watching more videos and I’ll have to look on the website for more!
Thank you!
I was really liking your whole wardrobe and then you showed those cufflinks WOW!!! I was blown away.I must find a pair of those, they are something else.Enjoying your videos and learning so much from them, thank you sir.
My father put me on to a bit of this approach years ago! This is great information
This video is a prime example of why i subscribed to your channel. I really needed this info at this moment. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge 👏

This was another great video, and it was really helpful and informative! Keep up the great work!
I can relate to Raphael here. I don't have the money to purchase high quality items, but the Salvation Army is a great place to buy sport coats. I got a tweed and a seersucker blazer, a contrast collar and cuff shirt and a 1940-50s tie for under 50 bucks
Thanks for much for the videos! You're advice is worth millions.
I've loved to dress up since high school but my dad was never really a style guru i guess.
I wanted to tell you that I recently got a pair of JB Britches Italian wool flat front dress trousers for 7$ when they retail at 155$
I love this vintage image including the hair style.
I really love your vids I subbed I am appreciative that you took the time to put these together I would really love that entire outfit
Insightful tips. Thank you for sharing.
This was a fantastic video, sir. I haven't even finished it yet but I feel compelled to leave a comment already! I wish I had heard all this a year ago before spending so much on off-the-rack clothing like I did. Lesson learned!
I appreciate the comment on coat hangers - I am fanatical about coat hangers and a bad one will leave even the best clothes looking like trash. Cheap coat hangers are a curse!
I like the intro music so much! It really corresponds with the style of your videos
Great Video!
Was glad to hear you bought the cufflinks in Hungary, you definitely have a follower there :)
Great video sir! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Excellent tips, thanks!
Thank you for making such awesome videos
you are awsesome, i am starting to follow your advices!
Love this channel thought I was alone in my desire to be better.
great video, especially what can be tailored vs. what can't
Great tip about salespeople - I've lost count of the times I've been told I look good in things I blatantly don't! 😂
thanks you have helped change my style & improve it
For me personally. I don't buy expensive shoes that often anymore because I over-pronate and so the heels get worn out more quickly, regardless of how much my shoes cost! Therefore, I tend not to spend big money (when I have it, which is rarely!) on shoes because I'm probably going to need to get them re-heeled or replaced altogether.
The other thing to point out with sales- I always take a small size and have got items heavily discounted but the reason stores can't sell them is that my size isn't popular. That's also why the smallest size in some stores is "medium" as they simply can't sell enough smalls so they don't stock any.
I haven't seen you since my high school graduation years ago. Happy to be back, sir.
Hello! I would like to thank you for this useful tutorial, and would also like to compliment your suit this video. The unique mix of color and patterns really make me appreciate your knowledge on this subject.
Amazing video, Sven. Hopefully you'd consider making a video for the outdoorsy, rough-around-the-edges gentlemen out there. You've advocated for practicality and appropriateness throughout your videos. It would be very profitable for us outdoors types to hear you opinion on the matter!
Great channel, I am so glad I found this channel.
Great video. Spot on
I love this video! Thank u
Your videos are excellent, this is exactly what I need.
Very informative. Thank you!
Fantastic outfit Raphael, I really like the combination of orange tie, navy waistcoat and tan jacket. I'm definitely going to buy a waistcoat now, haha! The pocket square is a great little touch, complementing the shirt. Thanks for the education BTW, I must have watched nearly all your videos and have learned an awful lot from them. The interviews are particularly interesting and your enthusiasm for your subject is infectious. Keep up the good work, my favourite menswear channel on UA-cam!
Thanks!
I agree. Great video and great outfit!
Nick S Me too! Looks very handsome!
Really nice video and very helpful - vielen Dank dafür!
O just ran in to your videos and liked it very much! Not to mention that you are incredibly nice to look at🙏🏻
Yep, still my favourite channel! Thank you for doing this! :)
Thanks for the support!
Thank you so much !!!
i love the amazing wool blue vest
Great information! Thank you kind Sir!
You are a very nice person with a very great personality !
Nice info. Thanks for sharing.👍💐
excellent advice thank you :)
Excellent! Thank you.
thank you for this all of your other video talk about things i can not afford so this is very helpful
Thank you so much for the informative video. I've been fortunate to aquire some incredible articles of clothing for next to nothing. l have been hesitant to share or discuss the origin of these heirloom pieces, that was until now. I also get spending fifty bucks on a pocket square. I liken it to a fine patina on hardware of furniture or a ladys exquisite broach worn with an understated black dress. Keep up the good work! Have Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We appreciate your kind words and thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas and New year to you too!
Well done Sir!
Thank you I am very eager to learn more of this idea. :)
That tie and cufflinks 👍👍
Good work.
Amazing video as always! I just wish there was some vintage stores in my area where i live. There is not really lot of places where to find really good clothes so i always have to travel somewhere just to go shoping :D
I can't find a video hosted by Preston. I wish I had commented on it. I appreciate that you both understand that not everyone has a lot of money. You both understand that some people among one's family and friends may think dressing up is silly. And, I was pleasantly surprised to see you recommend second hand stores. I like your videos.
Thank for your great advice !!! it works, wearing the right clothes help you have respect from others, and much better service in clubs and restaurants. it is worth the out lay, the only down side for me? is some people think I have won money on the lottery.
👏 Bravo. This is, in my opinion, your best video.
All of my suits I've bought from one store. The Salvation Army Thrift Store. I have found suits regularly from Jos. A Banks & other top brands. All of there suits are $25 no matter the manufacturer & the first Wednesday of the month all there clothing is half off. As for accessories I've found the best bet for budget accessories are the subscription boxes Gentleman's Box & Sprezzabox. For $25 & $28 respectively you get a tie, a pair of socks & 2-3 other items such as tie clips, lapel pins & pocket squares.
Your speaking skill is like a good gentleman sir please keep it up .And I like all of your videos and I love it
Thank you for the tip on Aveeno lotion, it works wonders.
