    As an option for dealing with those souvenir t-shirts, or indeed *any* sentimental tee that you don't see yourself wearing in the future: look into having a quilt made of those shirts. I helped my cousin make a quilt out of tees from the high school plays and musicals she was in; it's time consuming but not necessarily difficult.

    Excellent video from these two gentleman. For me it is about getting a bad fit, more often too large but sometimes too small, because the price was low. I had to toss three white shirts and still need to go to a men's clothing store that also has a tailor so I can be fitted out for a shirt that looks good on me.

    I’m mightily impressed by finally seeing you both talking about your fashion regrets. I’m especially impressed by Jack’s eye glasses and I may explore getting a pair of them for myself. They look great with Jack’s tuxedo and since I have to wear a tuxedo most of the time, I would like to see how they’d look on me. E.J.’s ensemble also looks great and very well put together. It’s always a pleasure to see what Gentleman’s Gazette brings out that we don’t always think about. I’m also with you regarding t-shirts because I wear them mostly when I’m thinking casual. I truly enjoy dressing up (maybe a little too over the top at times) and I would love to see a return to men being more dressed up including wearing tuxedos for evenings at home, but that one might be a bit more of a challenge to pull off. Meanwhile keep bringing out the best videos you can. Just excellent!

    I met Jack in London, briefly, at the London Shoe Trunk shoe. Nice to see him (and Eb) on the GG :-) I have to say, it's important to recognise where you have gone wrong in your sartorial journey in order to really hone your style. Mine: a pair of Jodhpur boots i never loved them because of their poor quality fit, colour and construction.

  • @thechairman74
    @thechairman74 9 місяців тому +3

    The situation with the trouser legs and over the calf socks is annoying and I'm surprised that it's not mentioned more often. I think everyone thinks that the nice sleek tapered leg is a good look and yes, it is, while standing but try to stand up from sitting and you have that problem as Jack mentioned. It does kind of ruin it because it's hard to strike that perfect balance of wanting to have a not too wide hem but also wear the OTC socks and not have them sliding down all the time.

    I love vintage - 1930s and 40s-era clothing. The repro company Cathcart in the UK makes wonderful clothing. That said, I bought a 3 pack of vintage-looking socks. While they are very well made, they are knee socks. I don't have - or wear - plus 4s so I don't need socks that are that high. On me, they feel uncomfortable squeezing my calves. I love buying Cathcart clothes but will pass on any more knee socks.

    My first ever regret was on my first suit, because back then I only knew about the classic menswear with shallowness so I bought my first suit at an over-saturated and trend-following store. I have a pretty bulky configuration of my body, and my head is weirdly as big as the width of my chest, so having a continental style shouldn't be my approach. However, I went for the continental style, because they recommended so, I didn't think much about whether they were trying to cut corners on me so I gave them the green light. When I got it, it was pretty constraining, i heard about it before that my suit should be constricting but not too much, which i didn't know how much is enough so I thought that was normal, 'til i researched into more because i couldn't properly sit down with it most of the time. I really regret it to this day. However, my second was far better as i researched into it way deeper than before.

    Those who need wheels under their luggage need to reconsider their packing.
    When I travel, a waxed holdall (or ultralight backpack for outdoor pursuits) always suffices. Whether on a weekend trip or on a summer holiday.

      Not if I’m spending a couple of weeks in a place where I’m also likely to do shopping.

      ​​@@georgeleorgebeorge2354touché. But most people tend to pack far more than they actually need. I enjoy travelling light and have my clothes washed while underway. It saves so much volume.

    Beyond the stuff you get from some of these mail order companies is their ability to deliver. Some companies have customer service that functions (e.g., Oliver Wicks) while others have robotic customer service that fail miserably (e.g. Hockerty). This is a logistical thing, but it can be important to deal with a company that responds and is flexible if you travel a lot between addresses (and it can be very frustrating when you deal with idiotic robots only). Did you ever do a video on that topic?

    If black doesn't work with your wardrobe, then you wear lots of earth tones and navy. If you wore more charcoal and grey, it would be great.

    Don’t you just hate the word “ pop”. Balloons do this. Not colorful fashions.

      Jack here - As someone from the UK, we use the term colloquially quite often: "I'm going to pop to the shops", "Could you pop that in my bag", "When are you going to pop over?", etc. So, "a pop of colour" or suchlike isn't really a big deal here

    He complains about the model of the top hat that he bought is antiquated. Well, news flash, all top hats are antique and outdated.

    Both of these guys are comfortable conversationalists, good annunciation, and very well dressed gentlemen. They are significantly better than several of the "on-air" personalities. Rather not bring those other guys down, but these two guys are definitely in the top five personalities on the channel.

    It's not being fashionably dressed which this channel promotes........BUT .........a T-shirt from a historic site or a National Park can often start a conversation with people you encounter. Being "fashionably " dressed" can often be "off putting" especially if they are casually dressed.

    Oh tsk! An Englishman, and he regrets purchasing a black overcoat - shame, shame. Look, GG, you lot keep saying this about black, but black is good. You can introduce colour to offset it, and it does work with colour - think of Dracula''s cape: black without, blood red within. And did he get complaints about his attire? I think not.
    Give black a break. Mind you, I say this as one who is a good 40 years older than you two gentlemen: black isn't actually worn very often in Britain, maybe it's commoner in the USA. Plus, I go to quite a few funerals....
    Mistakes? Square-toed shoes = expensive, too expensive, and made me look like a clown. I couldn't wear them. The other mistake was a check jacket, of so bold a check that people assumed I'd made it out of a rather over-excited tablecloth.

      Hi Robert, Jack here. The only black overcoats I see in the UK are typically on the cheaper end trying to look like they're more expensive or smarter than they actually are. Most well-dressed folk I've seen don't tend to own black overcoats, but navy and grey are particularly popular - especially with a pattern like a herringbone. We do actually give more depth to why we (as a team) feel that black is overrated when it comes to daywear, as you can see in our original video: www.gentlemansgazette.com/the-most-overrated-color-black/? I totally get you when it comes to square-toes shoes - there's a fine line between an elegant chisel and a boxier square toe!
