This is one of the best posts I have seen in some time. The history of 'madder' silk and its origins was fascinating. Also, you boys looked perfect. The clothing, shoes and accessories were appropriate and in very presentable appearance. Loved this video. Keep up your wonderful work. Incidentally, I looked you up online and found a video showcasing your amazing singing ability. I have always been wild about multi-talented individuals.
i LOVE ancient madder anything. i recently purchased my third ancient madder tie from drakes, this time. i own two pocket squares too. i went to a dinner wearing one time, and sadly only one person knew what it was. another person told me it looked like something someone from the 80s would wear. whatever. theyre awesome
Thank you for the video. My friend: A minor correction. Mohenjo-Daro is not located in India. It is located in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Built around 2500 BCE, it was one of the largest settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation.
Please consider making a video about how to pair (dress) shirts with beige and khaki suits or generally how to pair brighter coloured suits. If you apply classic style rules you choose a lighter colour for the dress shirt than the suit jacket or blazer, therefore you end up mostly with white and off white. What about breaking this rule with brighter suit colours and go for a darker coloured dress shirt, for example a darker grey (but not charcoal) dress shirt with a beige suit jacket in casual situations? Do you think one can pull that off or what are your thoughts on this topic?
I recently (about 4 years ago) has to change my wardrobe because of my work evolution.... now I have to really suit up as a gentleman at least 2 times a week (prior only on events.... all rest of time, as a Steve Jobs wannabe). Your channel I discovered I would say 2 years ago,.... and it made a change in what I searched for because prior I just knew like "Hugo Boss", oks this has to be good.... now i know better and search more handcrafted suits, it's like a rare competition on who looks like a photograph and who doesn't, with cool new suits. Hahahahaha never thought I would be in this position, I've always have been kind of stylish, but not much for suits, until now and with the help of the Gentleman Gazette. Thanks again!! (And I do own 7 of this ties which I inherited from my grandpa 👍... after this episode, now i know their worth)
No, they are not to learn more about Hermes ties, check out www.gentlemansgazette.com/is-it-worth-it-hermes/? and www.gentlemansgazette.com/how-spot-fake-hermes/?
Great information as always, but personally I found the volume of internal links a bit jarring and a bit like a sales pitch for the site. People coming here know there's a video on nearly everything already
No, the majority of people who come here have not been to the channel before and they don't know the other videos. Nobody forces you to watch other videos or click the links
"And looking grim, 'Cause they've been sitting Choosing a hat. Does anyone still wear a hat? I'll drink to that." That's what "the ladies who lunch" say. And, on a related matter, does anyone still wear ties?
We offer both kinds. Untipped ties require a higher level of skill and take more time to make. On top of that it was a traditional way to make ties that way in the 1930s. The tip is a bit lighter ND it is easier to pull the tip through when tying a tie. A tipped tie lining is fine too, and we offer both finishes. At the end of the day it is a matter of preference but we like the untipped style
@@gentlemansgazette Thank you for your detailed answer. I have recently ordered a tie from shibumi firenze and it seemed that the untipped tie may be as a result more fragile in that part of the tie...
@@Ventura2050 Silk is in itself a strong material. I think untipped is great for printed ties, not so much for woven ties because with multicolors, you can see all the blind threads in teh back and they are more likely to rip with a fingernail, than a tightly woven plain fabric that is printed on the other side.
@@gentlemansgazette Thank you so much. I will try out the untipped version and see where it gets me. Tipped or untipped, Fort Belvedere ties would be my first choice because of your great variety and quality, but I'll have to wait until you maybe have an european based retailer.
Absolutely correct! Our apologies for the oversight; our article text has been updated, as well. Thanks for your assistance, and for watching! - Preston

You seem like a great person. I hope you have a special person in your life.
I have just made a mental note that if I buy a camel hair jacket that I will buy a pale yellow shirt and red tie with it. Great outfit Mr. Preston!
Such great history behind ancient madder. It's something I'd be honored to wear some day. Great video as always!
Mohinjodaro is not situated in India it is in Pakistan make your history correct please
The color combinations of the outfits are dazzling!
Hello Preston and Raphael I must say thank you for you have inspired me to start my own fashion business
They've inspired me to spend more money on clothes.
Very informative. Only us menswear geeks would appreciate such a post but I love seeing the history behind these items!
Very informative video.
The colour harmony in Preston's outfit is extremely well-formulated.
A strong addition to a fine channel. Thank you for maintaining the courage of your aesthetic convictions, gents!

Will you do a video on winchester shirts? I would like to see a full video on these shirts and where to buy them. Great video as always!
Maybe, thanks for the suggestion.
@@gentlemansgazette Awesome. Thank you for replying
I have no sense of style so this channel is helpful lol! Thanks.

This is fantastic! I just realized that here in Greece we use Madder to dye easter eggs red! I had no idea...
Informative video and wonderful colors! Thank you!

Great informative content! Thumbs up 👍
Best video in a while keep up the good work guys
Good to know. I want one. How do you guys keep so well coiffed? That's a video idea, "Barbering". And another, "A gentleman's guide to Bicycles".
Viola Milano has fantastic Madder Ties
Great job, guys. Always with great information.
Could you do one on British country style, things like tattersalls shirts etc.
A very well-coordinated outfit and good shoes! Perhaps, a white or pale blue shirt would be better, though. Very good video overall.
Fascinating video. Thank you!
I'm naming my kid Preston.
I'm naming my kid Smirkish Tuscadero.
@@Ventura2050 .... Not funny. Especially once you find out what "Smirkish" is, you'll probably delete this post all together 😂.
Thanks for the great information
Mohenjo - Daro is actually in Sindh, Pakistan,
Preston, the word is pronounced "primmer." "Primer" is what you put down before painting.
Gotta love that awkward Preston spin. Never equalled.
Cheers Preston 🤘😎👍
great video Stifler!
Lol

camel hair jacket? swag
Gum arabic is what most professional watercolor paints use as a medium. I had no idea it was also used in menswear!
Great advice, Thank You
Wonderful details by Preston / Gent's Gazette...but please correct the error in video...Mohenjo-daro is in Sind Province, Pakistan, not India!
Very interesting. Btw, what tie knot are you wearing in this video?
Where can I purchase the madder silk fabrics by the yard
Are Hermès printed silk madder ties?
No, they are not to learn more about Hermes ties, check out www.gentlemansgazette.com/is-it-worth-it-hermes/? and www.gentlemansgazette.com/how-spot-fake-hermes/?
Gentleman's Gazette Got it! Thanks, Preston!

Is madder silk.l generally more durable than regular silk ?
Speaking of dyes do you dye your hair? Good info !!👍

what do you guys think of acne studios
I have a camel hair sports jacket. Does this style jacket have a seasonal disposition or can it be worn year round?
True
I bought tie from this material in second hand for less than half dollar :D
"And looking grim,
'Cause they've been sitting
Choosing a hat.
Does anyone still wear a hat?
I'll drink to that."
That's what "the ladies who lunch" say. And, on a related matter, does anyone still wear ties?
Unrelated question: Is it ok to wear cowboy boots with a suit?
In Dallas.
Elas são a cara do papai.
hey that wasn't much info on bow ties!
Why are your ties untipped? Thank you.

Please correct yourself
"Mohenjodaro is in Pakistan, not India"

I really appreciate it. Thank you
Mohenjo Daro isn’t in India. It’s in Pakistan
Mein Jo Daro is NOT in India but rather in Pakistan. Please correct this error
Stuffy
Let me correct your facts. Mohen Jo Daro Is in today's Pakistan
How do I know and you dont? Because I'm a citizen of Pakistan
