Welcome to the inaugural episode of our new series, "Off the Cuff!" Let us know in the comments what you think of this more laid-back, conversational, dare we say "podcast-style" content, and if you've got suggestions for how it can be improved in future installments! - Preston
It's great. Just keep it under 60 minutes, or even under 45 minutes. It's just something you would listen to while you commute, but that you would like to have ended when you reached your destination. Podcasts of over an hour can feel a bit daunting.
Good topic. And something to explore sometime: how does the passage of time influence the definition of "classic style"? Will 80's/90's styles become "classic" past a point? Wil Armani suits become "classic"? lol
i think this format can be risky. Those in discussion can be quite informed and substantial t pull this off week after week, but you do have two really great interlocutors. So, keep that up.
yes appreciated this cross generational conversation, Had watched a few of your vids prior to this. As a Gen X moving into classical style I appreciate all 3 of you and have subscribed to you all.
I remember suggesting you connect up with Ash next time you are in London. Of course I was showing my age lol, as you used social media and did it awhile later without needing to be in person. Great to see you interact with other men I love watching. You've made it!
I love this! This is the SINCERE group of menswear influencers. Antonio has been consistent throughout the years, not screaming into the camera, but TEACHING!
Genuinely started watching each 3 of these channels at the same time some months ago and I got so hyped seeing them all in the same video let alone room!
Best time to be growing up as well as young adult so much potential. Now a days I don't see it happening for not just the Gen Z but worse for those after Z.
The 80s were such a positive, fun decade. Great music, boundary pushing fashion, global optimism, fall of the iron curtain.... best decade to be 15 to 25 years old, particularly.
Hello Gentlemen’s Gazette! I have to say that I am amazed and absolutely love this channel, at the time of me writing this comment, I am 15 years old and I have always loved the vintage style of classic menswear. I had just started to make my own ensembles a few weeks ago and just finished assembling my white tie ensemble. Raphael I must say, you really helped me A LOT to elevate my style and I truly feel happy and like myself dressing this way. Thank you so much for everything and this channel! Love you guys! -Johnathan 👋🏽
Thank you very much truly! I plan on wearing it to my sister’s wedding in two weeks! I know that I will definitely feel confident wearing such a piece, it really is a shame that it has been accurately left behind to history for a bit of time. But I felt stoked when I saw your white tie video which gave me the inspiration to assemble my own. Again, thank you so much for everything! ❤ -Johnathan 🤵🏽👋🏽
when Gent Z mentioned Loro Piana as a defining brand i feel like he was totally off, it was merely dictated by recency bias. the culture that was very defining in Gen Z was hypebeast fashion and social media fashion styles
yeah even though he doesn't wear these brands I was surprised not to hear brands like fear of god, supreme, maison margiela, balenciaga, or yeezy. He was pretty spot on with ralph lauren though. Sperry was THE casual leather shoe for like 15 years too.
@@Vincetagram i very much agree with you. another noteworthy thing is that very new brands in particular the streetwear segmentation have fashion has given rise to a number of brands who have all more been widely accepted by Gen Z, brands like Represent, Peso, MNML, Trendtvision and many more, highlighting just how powerful social media and having a strong digital presence can be.
@@SpirithunterBOMB tbh I've never heard of those but I looked them up and they look like they're kinda following the trends that the aforementioned brands set in the late 2010s/early 20s, but I definitely get what you're saying. So many clothing companies are popping up purely off social media hype and some great designs and the older companies aren't quite tapping into that yet.
The holy trinity of menswear! Been watching each of these guys for years, great to see all my favourite menswear stylists coming together to debate and discuss a topic that has influenced my fashion choices and personal style.
@@ClassicTor Depends on the job role and practice area. Prosecutor who is in court all day every day? Yeah of course. Law firm attorney? Generally, suit only when in court, otherwise business casual (dress shirt or polo and slacks/chinos) or more dressed up business casual (sport coat, dress shirt, slacks). As to client meetings, depends on the client. Big corporation? I’ll always wear a suit. Smaller companies or individuals? I’ll go dressed up business casual.
I am intrigued by seeing these guys side by side. From left to right: retro, pseudo-Italian, British. At least that is the aesthetic I am seeing. I enjoyed they discussion and have learned something from each participant.
2:04 Antonio is telling about the 1980s “power suits” and big shoulder styles. To illustrate his words the authors decided to show examples of Brooks Brothers drawings, representing the exact opposite of “power suits and big shoulders”.
I loved this conversation and I would love to have this as an ongoing podcast that focuses on more specific topics that you all can dive deeper into based on your viewpoints of the generation. I have to thank all of you, as you have inspired me over the several years of following RMRS and GG to try and dress better, take care of myself better, and be more of a gentleman.
when i was at school the language/slang we'd use would make a modern man blush! but what we meant was not the original meaning of the word. usually it meant 'that's rubbish!' or 'i completed that with flying colours'. i miss that aspect of those days, it was maybe 15 years ago. how much things can change in that time...
This was a great video!!!! Thank you!! It's interesting to see three generations talk about their definitions of style and what options each generation had. Very interesting.
Love how we got to see James speaking in a more natural environment with less of an agenda, even cracking jokes (came out of nowhere, had me laughing :)) Keep up the great work y'all
Great job, gentlemen! I love that the three of you are working together. Your three of my favorite to watch, so this is like Christmas morning! Be well.
Antonio, the natural raconteur. Raphael, the consumate mediator. James, the respectful investigator. Halfway through and this is an utter joy. I think we are witnessing history, my friends! I think I shall write a piece on this. Kudos gentlemen, and bon chance in our new world.
This is a colaboration that I never expected but I'm supper happy to see. Maybe, next up should be a boomer or a silent generation member describing his own generation's style and what he thinks of youngsters dressing up.
What people tends to forget that the actual generation is a consequence of the previous generation and so forth. The older generations created the environment for the newer generations to grow and do things differently because they didn't have that access. For example, the older generations complain about the dependence of this generation on the mobile phones. And they forget that "THEY" created the mobile phone to improve the conditions they inherited from the previous one. Wonderful conversation, keep it up.
Thank you for sharing this fascinating conversation. It is true that the broadening social mores and infinite options of our time make classic style one option among many--a personal decision or choice. It is also true that the intention to dress well necessarily has a relational and social aspect. The intention to dress well is both a sign of respect for the dignity of those around us, and a sign of self-respect. It is also a way to honor important communal occasions, like weddings, funerals, baptisms, birthdays, and so forth. It is also a way to honor loved ones who have gone before us, who taught us how to dress well.
Interesting discussion guys. My intent was to listen to this conversation in the background while housecleaning, but it engaged me more than expected. By all means, do more of these.
Great video! I totally agree that you can age people based on what they wear. Great Grandpa born in the 20s still always wears his suspenders, even with his shorts. Grandpa born in the 40s wears wider cut jeans with sweaters and other more conservative things. My father born in the 70s wears more athletic/casual clothing when lounging, but still wears collared shirts and all that for work
If you could've added another generation with Hugo Jacomet this would've been perfect. Also, man I know it was a joke but the idea of going commando in a suit... no, can't even.
Excellent collaboration of 3 experts in this field. Antonio , I was initially turned off by Unisex Tom Ford perfumes. Just the idea of it. Changed my mind after positive responses. You have to test and experiment.
5:20 that was really beautiful said about how style has become more unisex ! I personally like a masculine look but I also like Woamn who dress more masculine but also than again I look at some men who wear more feminine stuff and use Make up . That sometimes looks awesome as well … with fragrances I think we reached a point where gender truly doesn’t matter anymore Especially in the niche market … wear what you want ! At the end it’s a scent … a scent doesn’t have a gender you like it ? Wear it
Another comment, this one on jeans - man that’s so true. My wife is 36, so right in the millennial age range, and wears only skinny jeans. My daughter is 12, hates skinny jeans, only wears baggy jeans.
I'm 46, but I feel teenager inside, I never wear formal clothes, I only have 1 stand collar blazer and 1 black suit, for everyday I wear denim jacket, leather jacket, field jacket, I feel out of my element when wearing suit, I feel like a pretender in formal clothes.
The way gen z is wearing the most formal while gen x wearing the most casual suit and millennial wearing something in between in this interview is somewhat poetic.
As a Xennial ('83 baby), I remember the fashion of late '90s Britain being split between wigga (white guys trying to be West Coast rappers, think Ali G), the semi-skinny fit that came out of the Brit-pop subculture and the loose fit scruffy stuff of the late grunge/early emo style. The one shoe that fit across all these styles were Timberlands, the wiggas didn't lace or tuck them into their jeans, the grungers lace them medium tight and tuck them, the Brit-poppers laced tight and fully tucked them. The Brit-poppers were the only ones that didn't sack their jeans, wiggas said without a belt and grungers had the studded belt but left it loose enough to sag out jeans. Now a lot of my friends wear just basic straightcut jeans, a basic t-shirt and comfy trainers when not at work. Depending on the workplace culture, it's gonna be cotton slacks and an open collar shirt with comfy dress shoes (maybe chinos for someone who's more "fashion forward") - unless there's a workplace uniform!
As a genXer growing up in a classic preppy highschool, dressing well has got me served first, gets respect, and has saved me from being arrested several times. I still dress classic today and the benefits still hold true.
Hello, everybody. Commenting on this a bit late. Gen Xer. Street style wardrobe was Member's Only jacket, Levis, and high tops. I'd never heard of The Official Preppy Handbook but a lot of us wore polos, Oxford button downs, and boat shoes. Yes, we wore tuxedos to prom. No, I didn't know about the Dynasty Collection although I did have a friend who wore a Miami Vice tuxedo. No one talked about designers much although most of us had heard of Gloria Vanderbilt and of course we had heard of Calvin Klein. I was familiar with the name Bill Blass perhaps from looking through tuxedo catalogs. I looked through a lot of JC Penney's catalogs back in the day. Laugh if you want but I was able to get some fashion ideas from the catalogs at times. In the 80s, After Six even sold a tuxedo through JC Penney. I got a nice argyle sweater vest through a catalog company back then. I'd never heard of cap toed Oxfords back then. Never had heard of derby shoes. I wore a pair of blucher mocs in college as well as weeguns. But I still didn't know the difference between a blue suit jacket and a blue blazer. As a young man I was disappointed when no one seemed to be wearing polos or university stripe button down oxford shirts much any longer. Grunge was on the scene and other things I didn't care for. I had a Mossimo shirt for a while. Ha! And then everybody was wearing Tommy this and Tommy that. I discovered Doc Martens way after my college years. Fashion today seems more utilitarian and about comfort. Fewer preps, punks, goths, etc. Nobody cares about finding their style. I could be wrong though. Some would say that's okay. No one is getting hassled for not having a little alligator on their shirt or about whether they have the right shoes or not. What's with all the fabrics like Under Armour uses? What about an X suit you can literally just toss in the washer. Perhaps that's a good thing. I know. It's not your dad's polyester. It's high tech. I'm not saying things are better or worse now. Yes, so many choices now and can find anything you want online I suppose. Do younger people still look to celebrities for fashion.? Like girls trying to get Madonna's look back in the day? Do young men still think James Dean looked cool in Rebel Without a Cause? Just a few random thoughts.
Great, thoughtful discussion that I wish was twice as long. Not going to lie though, I gasped and clutched my chest when gen z had the audacious to claim that new video games are better than old ones 😱
Wow, I had no idea Sven was a Millennial, Gentlemen's Gazette style is very mature and sophisticated. I assumed he was one of my GenXr peers like Antonio.
Most men i know do not think about clothes or style or colours or their appearance. They either don't bother themselves or are indeed lazy. The men who do are not common. There is also a big variation between city and country dwellers. However for women and men choice of clothing is usually about fitting in and conformity. Its great to see men taking an interest in their grooming and style.
Very nice video thanks guys. For a future video it would be nice to get some other generations and nations or cultures aboard. Suggestions: Chaps Guide, Hugo Jacomet

I had a great time talking with Antonio and Raphael, I hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
We are here for you. Well done!
I suspect I will! Always a pleasure.

This is like the Avengers of menswear. Gentlemen, unite!
XD
Assemble
It totally is!!
Avengers!...Ensemble!
MCU but instead of marvel its menswear cinematic universe
All 3 of my favorite gentleman's style personalities have come together.
Ah, I'm very much missing Ash from the Chaps' Guide here- but I know he is a guest at their London event :)
Chap would be representing the Boomers?
@@pedrogarciarobleto well, I wouldn't be so bold as to assume such- I'd put dear Ash more as the traditional and seasoned Brit.
@@pedrogarciarobleto Ash is Gen X
Sorry guys! He totally looks like my dad's age! My mistake to assume.
I love this! This is the SINCERE group of menswear influencers. Antonio has been consistent throughout the years, not screaming into the camera, but TEACHING!

Gentlemen like this makes generational difference means nothing. Practically timeless
Best comment
Genuinely started watching each 3 of these channels at the same time some months ago and I got so hyped seeing them all in the same video let alone room!
me too!
Ask anyone from Gen X, they would not trade their childhood for any generation. It really was a time that will never be replicated.
Best time to be growing up as well as young adult so much potential. Now a days I don't see it happening for not just the Gen Z but worse for those after Z.
Yep. I can definitely vouch for that as a Gen Xer.
The 80s were such a positive, fun decade. Great music, boundary pushing fashion, global optimism, fall of the iron curtain.... best decade to be 15 to 25 years old, particularly.
The chemistry in this video is off the charts, you guys should definitely consider collaborating again in future videos.

Yeah. But to gen z it is a fashion statement.
The holy trinity of menswear! Been watching each of these guys for years, great to see all my favourite menswear stylists coming together to debate and discuss a topic that has influenced my fashion choices and personal style.
I think discussion is an excellent example of how broad the tent can be on our approach to individual style
Wearing a suit in 2024 is more rebellious than wearing torn jeans and T-Shirt in 1969.
Agree - a suit makes more of a statement than ever - especially with personal choice touches like an interesting pocket square.
Depends on the context.
If I wear a suit to work, coworkers just assume I have client meetings or a court appearance that day.
@@TechnoLawyer isnt it normal for lawyers to always come to work in suits?
@@ClassicTor Depends on the job role and practice area.
Prosecutor who is in court all day every day? Yeah of course.

Loved this! Great trio!
Incredible to see such distinguished gentlemen gathered together! This video exudes class, excellence and expertise.
James is such a confident talker. No humming! Very excellent!
The awkward nodding after „commando“ is worth the whole video.
woah! so great to see antonio here!
The Style Debate, I didn't know I needed, until now.
This is one of the most inclusive and thoughtful (and of course, useful) discussions on how style evolves and varies. I love this.
This was a most enjoyable watch/listen.
Thank you! out of interest, did you choose to watch this as a video, or listen to it like a podcast?
@@gentlemansgazette I was at home, so it was as video. But I think this would have worked just fine either way.
when i was at school the language/slang we'd use would make a modern man blush! but what we meant was not the original meaning of the word. usually it meant 'that's rubbish!' or 'i completed that with flying colours'. i miss that aspect of those days, it was maybe 15 years ago. how much things can change in that time...

Great job, gentlemen! I love that the three of you are working together. Your three of my favorite to watch, so this is like Christmas morning! Be well.
Antonio’s personal sense of style is always so spot on for me. Maybe because I’m about the same age?
Antonio, the natural raconteur. Raphael, the consumate mediator. James, the respectful investigator.
Halfway through and this is an utter joy. I think we are witnessing history, my friends! I think I shall write a piece on this.
Kudos gentlemen, and bon chance in our new world.
Awesome! Let us know how your written piece goes!

I don't think James was joking

Pleasure to watch and listen conversations like this, thanks!
This was so good!! I really enjoyed the conversation. I laughed out loud at James' commando joke that Raphael and Antonio didn't get! 😂

What an absolute treat of a video.

Thank you! We'll leave this comment so you can add your second like here 😁
🔥🔥🔥 the crossover of 2024 gotta check out this Gent Z dude
Oh boy. I came for the style conversation, but the end got real.
As a genXer growing up in a classic preppy highschool, dressing well has got me served first, gets respect, and has saved me from being arrested several times. I still dress classic today and the benefits still hold true.
Gent Z never fails to post unparalleled content.
What are your top picks from Gent Z's channel? 🙂
Fantastic conversation. Smart men talking about interesting topics. More of this!
Ohhh I was not expecting this... This is gonna be good.
What are your thoughts after watching/listening through?
The bros all together!!
So on point with a lot of the issues discussed
What was the topic you felt most aligned to?
Hello, everybody. Commenting on this a bit late. Gen Xer. Street style wardrobe was Member's Only jacket, Levis, and high tops. I'd never heard of The Official Preppy Handbook but a lot of us wore polos, Oxford button downs, and boat shoes. Yes, we wore tuxedos to prom.

What's with all the fabrics like Under Armour uses? What about an X suit you can literally just toss in the washer. Perhaps that's a good thing. I know. It's not your dad's polyester. It's high tech.
I'm not saying things are better or worse now. Yes, so many choices now and can find anything you want online I suppose.
Do younger people still look to celebrities for fashion.? Like girls trying to get Madonna's look back in the day? Do young men still think James Dean looked cool in Rebel Without a Cause?
Just a few random thoughts.
Great, thoughtful discussion that I wish was twice as long. Not going to lie though, I gasped and clutched my chest when gen z had the audacious to claim that new video games are better than old ones 😱
Haha! Out of interest, what's your go-to video game/game series?
Great talk by all the speakers!
The ultimate crossover
Looking good James
Great stuff!
I really enjoyed this video! Very interesting.
Wow, I had no idea Sven was a Millennial, Gentlemen's Gazette style is very mature and sophisticated. I assumed he was one of my GenXr peers like Antonio.
year wise he will be at the very top of the Millenial, i believe he is 40 now
I thought he was in his mid 50s.
@@dham629 honestly i was a little bit surprised myself
Well done, Gents!
Well said gentleman!
Great video!
Would love to see you collab also with Kirby Alison, and askOkey!
More of these collabs!
Men with quality and insight! I aspire to dress well like this one day❤
Thank you! What barriers do you feel are stopping you from dressing well now?
Most men i know do not think about clothes or style or colours or their appearance. They either don't bother themselves or are indeed lazy. The men who do are not common. There is also a big variation between city and country dwellers. However for women and men choice of clothing is usually about fitting in and conformity. Its great to see men taking an interest in their grooming and style.
Thank You for the Video 😀
Now THIS is a discussion
Great conversation 👏
My fav fashion education for content 😊
In Asia depends which field you work. Finance is still formal here.... Suit and tie still .... Love it..😅😅😅😅
Good perspectives.
Very nice video thanks guys. For a future video it would be nice to get some other generations and nations or cultures aboard. Suggestions: Chaps Guide, Hugo Jacomet
All we can say is...stay tuned 😉
My favorite three persons.
Nice crossover
Well done, gentlemen. Only thing missing was cigars!
