Hey TUG, just wanna let you know that your enjoyment and passion in these vids are really contagious. They really cheer me up and make me more appreciative of things in all aspects of my life. I aspire to be as positive and as passionate as you are about life. Loving the vids, all the best 👍
Hearing that makes it all worth it. You have no idea. If I can cheer someone up with this video then mission complete! Thank you. Keep following your heart, enjoy the little things, never the the negativity of others or the world bring you down. Onward and ever upwards. Best regards, TGV
@@vtlxx Well, they did get the contracts from the U.S. Army and Marine Corp. Sig-Sauer is also bankrupt, but, their U.S. division is doing fine, so, now that HK has a factory in Georgia.....
Yeah but actually their rifles G36 are faulty and will be replaced. 416s are more reliable. So i guess most of their products are good but they aren't all godly good either ^^
LOL! I literally finished ironing 3 of my Lacoste polo shirts before clicking the video. Great summer clothing together with linen pants (I don't like shorts). More dapper than a t-shirt but more casual and comfortable than a long-sleeved shirt. Best wishes, Klaus
I agree 💯 about stone island, I love there clothes, and like you Lacoste reminds me of when I was a little boy rocking a Lacoste top with my blue kickers on with loads of extra leather tags lol those where the days
Guess who's back? Well, we all knew that day will come when Hugo breaks free. I guess my most important fashion item(s) is my Harrington jackets, because I can wear them with Jeans, Chinos and combine them with Casual and formal clothing. Have a great weekend!
One never travels without a Clark desert boot, a decent watch or two, a sports jacket, or a Lacoste. Ever! Of course, a pair of classic Ray-Ban aviators goes in the inside pocket of the jacket. Definitely do the video on the panic bag, or what we call in my neighborhood a “bug out” bag. Very well done TGV. Hugo needs more episodes so we can keep up with the mayhem in his wake...
The AM90 are my favorite Sneakers and I wear mine all the time. I just recently picked up the anniversary ones in sail to wear to work and Uni. It is such a classic design.
I'm an explorer and go for a little more rugged style. 1. proper 100% beaver felt hat. I wear bespoke hats but a Stetson will do just fine. If you live where it's hot a good straw one is mandatory. 2. Harris tweed blazer. 3. Barbour or other proper shooting coat. 4 Saddleback Leather luggage. Absolutely the best. I have the Beast and the Water Bag. I get stopped when carrying them all the time and asked where I got them. 5. 5.11 brand tactical shirts, short and long sleeve. The passport pockets are brilliant. Great for safari, travel, outdoor work, casual days. 6. Bespoke suit. If you can't afford Saville Row, book a holiday in Dubai or Manama and have some made for you while there. Amazing quality. 7. Colonel Littleton tie travel case. It holds a dozen ties and is my standby for world travels when I work and need to wear ties. I've had mine for decades. 8. Leather boot gaiters. I wear shorts in the field constantly and they are indispensable for keeping seeds, 'waitaminute' thorns, creepy crawlies, and rocks out of your boots. 9. A penknife. Something small and sharp. I keep a classic Buck pen knife on me always. It's even legal in Britain. 10. A shemagh. It can be used as a scarf when cold, around your head when hot, as a hanky if nothing else available, and a bandage/tourniquet if necessary. The dang things are just incredibly useful. To me, it is the modern and larger version of the pocket handkerchief. The trick to good style, whatever style it is you like, is to wear it like you live in it. People sometimes stop me and ask me if I am on safari because of my broad hat, safari shirt, shorts, and boots. I tell them "yes, of course I am. 'Safari' is a Kiswahili word that just means 'journey'.. Life is a journey. So we all on safari every day!"
Oh dear, I let out a groan when I realised it was not a watch video, but then I got completely sucked in and really enjoyed the content and explanations. Great video TGV.....only one thing lacking, am I the only one that would love to meet Mrs TGV with her putting in her opinions, hey, it works for Teddy, why not TGV.
Thank you TGV. I was really in a tough time worrying about some stuff and your video really helped take me out of the rut. I really enjoy your videos and keep up the good work my good sir! ❤️
One of my fashion go tos are hats. Fedora, Panama, newsboy, bowler, golf, baseball, cowboy. I love them all and very rarely leave the house without one. Workouts/runs are the exceptions.
Are you a low-key sneakerhead, T? I've always noticed you've always worn a clean pair of Air Max 90s in most of your videos. You seem to be enthusiastic about sneakers (or trainers).
I'm not usually one for fashion BUT I do like style. And I can always look to you for that TGV. Aside from watches a few of my fashion items include: my Sonoma dress boots, my Calvin Klein dress coat, and my bracelets (steel bracelets for formal wear and a braided rope bracelet for casual wear.)
Was working for Clarks for a couple of years in London. Absolutely love the Desert Boot. A pair of suede tan desert boots and a pair of white Air Max 90s will get you anywhere. Keep on rocking TGV!!
Bernardo!!!!! Wonderful to hear from you, I hope this find you. I like that you carry on that tradition, a great thing to have and a nice reminder of. him as you wear it. Pure class, carry on my friend! Thank you for stopping by, Best regards, TGV
@@theurbangentry I'm going nuts with the new Seiko "Captain Willard". It's not that small and not that cheap, but the fact that it was worn by Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now makes it one of the coolest dive watches around.
My Clark shoes are 15+ years old, a testament to the quality of their product polo necks irritating me so only a round neck for me. Keep the videos coming it’s so refreshing to see someone who appreciates quality over cheap brands
I hate to admit it, but I’m kind of invested in Hugo at this point. My most important item would have to be a waxed cotton jacket. Whether it’s my Barbour Beaufort in the fall/winter or my Taylor Stitch Long Haul in the spring/summer, I almost never leave home without a jacket and my go to is waxed cotton for any condition.
TGV, I have been enjoying your videos for 4 years now and after so many passionate discussions with my watch enthusiast friend, finally today I got my Tudor Black Bay 58. After many Seiko 5's I got my first important watch. A watch that in my opinion has got a vintage look. Will you ever review it for your loyal followers? Best regards, AG
Wow, congrats, that watch is so hot right now, cracking choice. I can't even get one in to review!!! haha, you Seiko 5 WAS your first important watch ;-) Enjoy, Best regards, TGV
You have single handedly convinced me to get the air max 90 . Went down to the nike store got measured and later used the design your own feature on their website to get myself a black and white model . It has a heel drop of roughly 8 to 12 mm which is exactly what I need and will be a good addition to my New Balance 990v5 for colder climate without ice .
In the military we call it a Jump bag or bug out bag..with clothes uniforms, Underwear, sock, shoes, boots, hat, Toiletries, flashlight, sleeping bag.tent
I have to agree with you on so much of this list. It is also a great idea for people to look for the original makers of certain products. I have 10+ Lacoste polos. The last forever and will never be in or out of fashion.
I've a night time ritual now where I watch your vids just before I go to bed. End up dreaming of all the watches I wish I could have! On a serious note tho, watching your videos has gotten me so interested in watches my collection has expanded from 1 watch to 8 in the last 12 months. Your enthusiasm and passion for watches is contagious! Keep up the great vids!
I will agree with everything but the backpack. Never use a backpack with anything other than outdoor, camping, or less-than-casual dress. A backpack with good dress make you look like a grammar school youngster. But as TGV mentioned, carrying camera gear, or bulky gear would be an appropriate use for the backpack, but I doubt you'll be in a suit (or a tux!) when working in that capacity.
I dont think you will read this but thank you TGV for inspiring me to get into watches. I haven't been this pumped about anything like this in a while. Stay classy
From 86 here, and I can relate to most items on the list, leather goods, tennis shirts, especially air max 90s, my favorite sneakers ever made! Also Clarks, but the Wallabees are more popular amongst our generation here in Canada. I really appreciate your channel, love the content and videography, very cultured entertainment!
I like your air max 90 the green black and gray I have the iron gray with orange highlights you can't get a better trainer Really comfy and they awesome. I loved the video can't wait for the next 👍👍
Interesting video, which i surprisingly enjoyed. This is because am mostly into watches and would expect the Urban Gentry channel to do nothing but watches! However, am warming up to your lifestyle videos, perhaps because I too used to live in London and can relate to some of the items on your top ten. More grease to your elbow!
My favorite makes for clothes comfort are Columbia. Backpacks are Thule .( Sweden) Jackets Barbour (commando) Shoes ( hand made crocodile boots ) Thailand Watch of choice = victorinox professional diver ( silver bracelet version) Back up watch 007 SKX seiko Trainers Jordan’s Track suit = adidas
The weekend bag is a good idea, but I wouldn't get a leather one, personally, unless I won the lottery. I would rather have a canvas-type bag, or a "sailor's bag" (used to carry and store sails.) I'll see what the thrift stores have.
In the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, after he gets rescued by the fishing boat when he dropped out of the helicopter, he's seen carrying a waxed canvas nautical ditty bag. (Usually used to store line or smaller sails.) I have been working on designing one with a padded laptop sleeve, and enough space and internal pockets for carrying tools and requirements for a weekend go bag.
TGV, thank you for the video--great content. The Private White jacket looks nice. How does it compare to the very popular Baracuta G9? Never seen either in person, but both look great in photos.
For the longest time I didn't wear turtle necks. But recently got some and like them. Make me feel cool like James bond or agent 47 from the hitman games. Especially when putting on a black leather jacket with one. I feel like I can pull off the turtle neck if I'm in the mood to wear one. I think it also helps I've lost a lot of weight so being leaner it's easier to pull off a variety of looks
Good taste in all things! I’m a big fan of Lacoste and Stone Island, they have bigger for the bigger chap like myself. Sadly Stone Island have always been the choice of ‘Ultras’. Doesn’t stop me wearing them. Great show as usual T. Hope you and your Family are keeping well? Best Regards Stuart
Enjoy your videos always! Hope you can visit japan soon. Would be curious to hear how you rate the shops in japan in terms of items they collect and sell
I love me a Lacoste polo. I still have one left from my vast 80's stockpile. I couldn't find them for centuries but when they reappeared I wore an old one in to get more. They size designations apparently changed from my pile of Patrons. Private White looks very interesting, I will have to check it out. Soprano? really? A wide boy? Although the right Hawaiian is always fun. A shell suit? No, come on. That blue jacket and black roll neck combo was choice.
Excellent video TGV! I personally love anything made from Zegna or Loro Piana fabrics. I also have to have my Buly 1803 pocket comb that I love. For summer I’m a jeans and t shirt kind of guy. As always great content!
I like your way of thinking TGV. I too couldn't afford Polo shirts and Jordans but i am at a steady job and have been buying polo stuff for weeks now and been looking at some beautiful Jordans. I take your advice and make it my own but never forgetting that you inspire me to keep innovating myself if this makes sense. Also bought my first automatic seiko watch. Now I'm looking at a fresh AP or Rolex but I'm not gonna say their models or specs because i do not want anyone else to get them😂. Thanks TGV your the best on here to help us out. Keep going and may God bless you with more great and beautiful gifts💚💚👍👍
Just wanted to say hi and thanks again because of u i have really begin to love watches my collection has grown so much its hard for me not to wear one each day
You make wonderful videos TGV. Your positive and humorous style is very uplifting. Also nice to learn about the history behind the items. Keep up the good work.
