Hi TGV, Please continue to make more of these kinds of videos. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to tailoring & clothing and it's great to see you combine that with watches. I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the best, Tom.
TGV - Great stuff. I know this particular video was a ton of work to pull off, in terms of planning and editing - not at all "in a jiffy." Thanks so much for your hard work. I love the way you can put essential items in context, and have fun as you go. Thanks for making the world a more gentlemanly place. Lord knows we need it.
A believe a blue blazer or maybe even a traditional English school blazer should be the cornerstone of a gentleman’s jacket collection! I love all your choices!
Thank you for such a great video! I am a blue collar guy, and appreciate the the content of this particular video. I am not afraid to admit that I could use a little help in this department. For me, this channel isn’t just about the love of horology, but about self improvement and elevation, and this video is an essential one. These are tips I carry with me throughout my day, and life. Thanks again Governor!
In my day job (self employed accountant) I need to wear suits. To me, the word "Suit" means it suits you! I do not suit dark drab stuff that is too formal (except tuxedos of course) and I suit colour rather than grey or black. So I wear vintage suits (most older than me). I love narrow lapels (read 1960's) but I managed to score a 1940's silk suit (burgundy shot with green) with a narrow lapel that is a stunner. I got two great suits from the fifties. ..Of course I accessorize with narrow ties (sixties or fifties), the coolest of cuff-links (preferably with wee chains that look like small watch bracelets - from the sixties) and/or jewels in the cuff-links, collar pin, and of course, a cool watch. Love your stuff!
Nowadays in Russia tracksuits are for local gym or street workout going chads and city chavs, working class gopnik boys and young men from certain neighborhoods and industrial towns, and also for various street-level thugs. Low level gangsters wear leather jackets, while those gangsters who had a thing for magenta suits and gold chains back in the 90s now wear classic business-type dark-coloured suits.
Each to his own of course, but a navy single brested jacket is the single most usefull jacket a man can own. Apart from that, you should really consider sizing up on that first jacket, or letting it out, seeing how the single vent or more than halfway open when it should sit flat. Love the take on watch combinations though!
Excellent video. Not quite in your remit here, but over the winter I discovered the absolute joy of down filled jackets...how come nobody ever told me about this! , even in the harshest of British weather they are almost TOO warm..
Great video and certainly tips for me on how to grow my jacket collection! Also, really enjoyed the background music on this and the recent videos - adds a very calming effect to the already enjoyable and relaxing videos!
Just got my new waveless-dial Omega Seamaster Professional Ceramic in blue 41mm one month ago. Been loving it so far! Just thought you might like to know that review of it in black, as well as the midsize version you had helped me decide on it as my only mechanical luxury watch. Perfect everyday wear! Cheers.
Wow, congrats Taylor, you must be extremely chuffed with it. So glad I could help in any way, enjoy and thank you for taking the time to post that, it makes me happy to hear of your success. Best regards, TGV
Living in southern California, I have no use for those cold-weather jackets. I tend to wear colored blazers, green, blue, plum, etc. with my 40s Omega bumper, black 50s Wyler, or my 90s Hamilton Ventura. I've love the 'Mad Men' look so a watch popular in the early 60s will work for me.
TGV, Your insight on this, and other fashion forward topics is much appreciated. It is quite clear that your knowledge and passion for style does not stop at watches. Keep it up! I think I speak for many of us when I say we are all captivated by your brand recommendations and history of design. Warm regards, Cameron
What a dope video...thanks I have weddings to attend and my wardrobe is dusty...I like these idea s and will definitely take the poi ters....Dapper indeed!
13:24 You've got good taste in film too! This is England is one of my favorite films of the 2000's, a bit hard to revisit though since it's always such an emotional experience.
Hi TGV. I always enjoy your videos involving not only watches, but other items essential to the aspiring Urban Gent. I have to admit that I hardly ever wear jackets here in Perth, Western Australia, given it really doesn’t get that cold for me to warrant wearing one that often. I do have to ask you, have you ever owned a pair of Doctor Martin’s Boots (good old ‘Dockers’)? I can see you in a pair of them. I love mine and my wife has a pair that are now 29 years old! She takes impeccable care of them. Fantastic and iconic brand.
Hi TGV Yes, matching is everything. Where it really gets interesting is where you take it to the limit without breaking the rules. I admit that’s a bit abstract...but I’m sure you know what I mean😂 Style is a very difficult subject, but you surely have it under control mate... My favorite in my personal wardrobe might be my grey windbreaker jacket combined with my 70’s Omega Cosmic with a similar grey dail. A fairly modern sport like jacket and a (very) 1970’s watch. That’s no match, is it? Yes it is, because of that dail match - and because the watch looks kind of futuristic. I’m probably the only person who think so...no one has ever commented this. But you have to feel satisfied yourself first of all😉 “I don’t particularly wish to look like a member of Run DMC”....hah, hah😂 Keep up the good work👍
Brilliant Episode TGV, i appreciate the Effort gone into making this.. I’m a sucker for Coats & Jackets Etc.. So I really enjoyed this one.. I was only checking out Stone Island in Flannels yesterday as it happens.. Great Video Sir... Great to have you back on board.. BMJ ENGLAND.🏴
I was definitely missing your other style tips TGV. I really appreciate the advice because I'm absolutely terrible with matching and layering clothing. Thank you so much for the suggestions, Sir!
So happy to see other contents as well coming out from this beautiful channel. I love wearing my tweed jackets paired with leather gloves & a flat cap with my 1960's Junghans!! Keep up the good work TGV. Lots of love from Canada!
TGV, with every film you release, I can point to it and say “this is why I subscribed so long ago!” (P.S. Just picked up a Seiko 8M25 from your “watches that will double in value” episode!)
I have a few favorite jackets, Smart Casual I have 2 Barbour's, A light quilted Chelsea jacket in black and a olive green waxed jacket, the same one that James Bond wears in Skyfall. For Dressing up I have a Burberry raincoat and 2 Tweed jackets, 1 light grey and 1 dark, both Harris Tweed, the 2 jackets I wear the most, my every day jackets: a military style cotton jacket by GAP in their trade mark khaki sand stone (lots of pockets for when I take the dogs for a walk) and a North Face Fleece in grey, the best all round jacket here in the UK, especially this time of year as it's both wind proof and shower resistant. For hiking, I also have a North Face Highland Jacket, when paired with the North face Fleece, I'm good for -20°C Scotland winter hikes. On the shopping wish list, Baracuta Harrington G4, Belstaff Trailmaster and a Lewis Leathers Biker Jacket.
I love this kind of content, would be great to see more on clothes, footwear and sunglasses etc. Your videos are really well made and I appreciate how you’re branching out to new and different things :)
Harrington jackets crossover to everyone’s style, they are just sooo cool I bought my first one in 1960’s to wear on my Vespa GS scooter 👍👍 and still fashionable nowadays and I think always will be Found a great place to buy some really cool colours too Great video TGV!!
I really enjoy watching your videos, please continue to diversify your video content. And Barbour clothing I can highly recommend, particularly the waxed jackets!
I was hoping for a new posting today. I was rewatching the "5 years with the Submariner" video and see that you have posted. 😀 Back on the Rolley Sub train for me!. 👍Bier and 114060 on the porch in the Sun. Life is getting better again. Just keep working my butt off. Cheers to the Gentry. 💝⌚🍷🍺👍
Looking forward to your review of the G-Shock Mini. After seeing your Christmas video, I went and ordered myself one out of Japan. It's an awesome little watch for the price!
Great video TGV. Love seeing non-watch content like this once in a while. One thing however is in general, it's considered a faux pas to wear adidas and nike together. I understand your only working out and lounging in them but just know some people may consider that a bit of a faux pas. Looking forward to that World timer video!
Sadly being in the UK, I see Stone Island and I think Chav. A bit like Burberry caps. Wool overcoats Tweed jackets Barbour waxed tailored jacket They are my go to. Goes with my style which is smart casual at work and jeans / Chino and plain tee at weekends.
Recently made the transition from 501 to 511, just feel a better quality and fit better to my tall size. Loved wearing my Barbour Duke over winter with a Laird hat. Spring is in the air so will be reverting to my Belstaff jacket. Footwear is either desert boot, Piloti or classic Adidas
Fantastic to hear, I have that Barbour in my "watch list" too! Belstaff are great too, you have great taste. Thank you Kirk for sharing that Scott. Best regards, TGV
The duke is very snug after a few wears, really recommend it, especially if you like the chest pockets. Also try the Piloti’s. Forgot wrist watch check, it’s mainly one of many varieties of Seiko. As i too am I Seiko slut.
I’m very excited to have just booked to go to New York for a week in the summer with the family and my girlfriend! Besides the obvious tourist attractions and sights, is there anywhere or anything you think is a must whilst I’m there? It’s the first time I’ll have been and likely won’t be going again for many years, so I want to make the most of the trip! Great video as always T, nice to see some sartorial content from you like in the early days of the channel! Hope to see more videos soon, keep it up sir. Thanks, Oli
Great style TGV similar to mine.I recently bought a citizen ecozilla (bj8050) its an AMAZING watch!!!And i really enjoy it! The quality is amazing like a 2000€ watch and it only costs 200€ (=224$).
Nice video TGV, I really enjoy when you do these style/accessory videos, hope to see more in the future. With summer coming up maybe you could do another summer attire video? I love jackets but here in south Texas, they're not realistic to wear for like 75% of the year due to the heat (unless you're going out at night)!
Great showing of style. The Stone Island jacket really caught my eye but unfortunately, they don't have tall sizes. I was a little surprised that you wear Levis. They are good jeans but much better choices with a bit more style. Check out Joe's jeans and the Brixton line. Slim fit but their denim is so soft and luxurious. They are ~$200 a pair but last a decade even when worn regularly. Check them out if you have not heard of them.
Great subject perfectly executed. I would like to add the classic navy blue blazer to the mix , single or double breasted it does not matter. They are just so very versatile.
I really like the down to earth, casual style 👌. Style without smugness. I would like to suggest a nice parka during the colder months of the year. Looking forward to the next one. Regards, Koen
Awesome video! I was recently gifted a Timex Navi Harbor and the book Longitude that you recommended. When are you reviewing Smiths Everest watch? I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on it. What do you think?
Love Stone Island but living in London, I have actually been turned away from certain bars when wearing one! And is there any more classically elegant watch than a Cartier Tank?
Love a classic leather jacket and the Harrington's! Fantastic review TGV......good to see you branching out. Just bought a Tudor black bay 36mm, so keep up the watch reviews👍
