    Excellent video! The way Jeff articulates the dynamics of each outfit-color, texture, combos, etc.-is masterful and makes you want to intentionally dress better and apply his style techniques. With an American classic foundation, each look has a unique aspect. It’s like having a private menswear coach in your corner!

    WOW! That's a fantastic video! About two weeks ago, I wore a camel hair blazer for the very first time and paired it with a medium blue shirt, a dark blue paisley necktie, and medium gray trousers. Viewing your video has provided me with so many areas of exploration and combinations. Thanks for sharing!

      Man o Man - that sounds like a beautiful pairing! Its funny that at first glance the camelhair seems like such a specific coloring as opposed to a navy blazer or something traditionally considered more easy to pair - but when you start with that great foundation of camel and grey trousers, you quickly realize it is just as much of a neutral as you can imagine. It really feels like one of the best examples of a true autumn staple piece! Glad you're enjoying the videos and happy to hear you're enjoying that blazer!

      Hey, that's really good to hear! Sounds like you've got a great lineup of brands going for sure. So many of these classic pieces end up being so universal that there's really such a language of these combinations and references that you can end up with a really unique style that'll never look out of date. I always think it's interesting in womenswear, even the "traditional" brands still throw in just a little too much fashion sometimes, where as with the mens line, they'll have certain standards they never change. But nice to be able to shop the whole store and end up with something truly your own!

    Glad to see you back! Loved your take on pairing camel with grey-it’s such a sharp combo. Just a quick suggestion: it’d be awesome to see some popular brands like Brooks Brothers, Suitsupply, and Spier & Mackay featured in your vids. Looking forward to more style insights from you!

And surprisingly I have never owned any SuitSupply - it all looks great, i've just never pulled the trigger on anything - But I'll take a note on these and explore further in a future episode!

    I just picked up a beautiful camel's hair jacket last year. Great to see your combinations. I am definitely on the lookout for some quality flannel pants. I may have to visit a more exclusive menswear shop to get the real deal. Nice to see it can be paired with jeans also. Excellent ideas!

They're a little bit of an investment price, but not ridiculous - but they always seem to sell out so fast when they go on sale. Check them out and maybe I'll see you at the races!

    Hi Jospeh, I like the new style with the mannequins and showing your own clothes. This should keep you from infringing on any copyrights. Great content as always, and we are used from you
    I do not own a camel hair coat but combine my tan-colored Donegal tweed jacket with grey pants.
    Thanks for making me cringe again. I know you show lounge pants at 9:08 but it reminded me of draw string dress pants which are a crime against humanity.

      @SomeNotesonStyle  16 днів тому

      Hi Kay! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the updated format - trying to get little experimental here, so I hope to keep y'all on your toes!
      I like the sound of that tan Donegal! I bet that actually even works a little better than a flat camelhair, since its got such a lovely texture to work with. When I used to work at Ralph Lauren, for some reason Ralph never liked Donegals, but his brother Jerry Lauren did, so it was always a bit of a contentious issue internally! 🥴
      😂😂 I'm glad I could keep you a little on edge with those drawstring lounge pants! I hear you, but ya know - sometimes after a long day, I can throw on my drawstrings and some friulane slippers and it can feel pretty gooooood!

I would like to know the brand of those flannel trousers with self waist adjusters.

      Hey thanks! That's really so kind of you to say, I really want to keep a light and positive look at classic style and not try to make people feel like there's any sort of right & wrong when it comes to personal style. Oh boy, that Camelhair jacket sounds fantastic, what are the odds of that? In the air I suppose...and the trousers I showed with the adjusters are Ralph Lauren from the tailored clothing section from a few years ago. They make a Polo sportswear version which is nice too, but the tailored clothing version is made in Italy and has the tabs at the waist.

    Another great episode. Can you consider doing an episode on Glen plaid check sport coats and how best to pair them? I have a black and white glen plaid sport coat and I’m struggling to figure out what odd trousers to wear with it outside of charcoal gray. Not sure how they would look with mid grey or other colors like navy? I’m thinking that there is not enough contrast between the black and white glen plaid and mid grey trousers. Keep up the great work and great content!

    • @SomeNotesonStyle
      @SomeNotesonStyle  4 дні тому

      I will certainly take a note on this - I've gotta be honest, I've been thinking about this comment all week! I want to try to do a Q&A episode and this and a few other questions - so keep an eye out for that one!
      But a (long) short answer -
      Definitely sounds like a fine classic choice that Glen Plaid - it's certainly a closet staple pattern for a jacket. But you're right - what trousers? Maybe a deeper or a lighter charcoal grey? If you blur/squint your eyes and would you say the overall grey of the jacket is - like a 70% grey? I guess what I mean is, that depending on the scale & contrast of the plaid, you could try to think of where it would hit on the 1-10 grey scale and maybe that would help to visualize to find a grey that might be a step or two up OR down, for contrast. But yea, tricky beyond charcoal for sure...
      And aside from grey - I mean what about some stone, tan, deep khaki, or taupe trousers? How about olive green? Maybe an odd tan or chocolate brown corduroy in winter? Cream flannels or wool gabardine (impossible to find, but could be a great blank canvas to let the plaid be showcased on sunnier days)? I can never decide if I like navy trousers or not - I mean navy and grey do certainly go together well, so why not? Maybe a slightly brighter shade of navy? Or maybe if you could find a navy flannel, like from Spier & Mackay that might have a little heathering in the color, that might have a little more visual depth so they don't look too flat against the Glen...And well, casually of course, blue or washed black jeans (maybe with a turtleneck) and stone, khaki or olive chinos (with an oxford) could always be a nice classic look. Natural/Cream or white jeans in the spring (with some brown suede chukka boots)?
      Jeez this is making me want a Glen Plaid, too!

    • @SomeNotesonStyle
      @SomeNotesonStyle  16 днів тому

      Oooooo - okay now you're taking my language, my man! My jackets in my closet are separated right down the line between structured and unstructured shoulders! Especially now that so few guys wear tailored clothes, unstructured jackets really just seem like the best way of wearing something a little more formal without feeling too foreign for sure! But you really do have to do a little homework to find the right brands for sure - lately, I've been hooked on old LBM1911 I find on eBay. The Italians really know how to ride that line of finely tailored and unconstructed so well. But the hardest part is finding them in a size US 46 or 48, they're always so trim! Oh man I'm getting worked up - this is gonna have to be a future episode for sure!

Thrift store challenge is a great idea - although where I live, we only have one kinda not so great Goodwill near by - maybe I could do a variation on eBay (which is actually where I find most of my pieces anyway!😉) I'll take a note on that right now for a future episode - Thanks!
