Beautiful work. Going to Lebanon next month ... lots of cool social events happening ... and was lost until I found your video ! Any reason why the brand names of each item are not being mentioned ?
Many thanks! Most of the clothing is our own brand. We're working on a companion blog post but here are links to the 10 main items: Slate Blue Glen Plaid Linen Sport Coat: hespokestyle.com/product/linen-sport-coat-glen-plaid-slate-blue/ Mid-Brown Houndstooth Sport Coat: hespokestyle.com/product/mid-brown-houndstooth-sport-coat/ Stone Solid Linen Safari Shirt Jacket: hespokestyle.com/product/stone-linen-safari-shirt/ White Poplin Dress Shirt: hespokestyle.com/product/white-poplin-dress-shirt/ Geometric Dobby Short Sleeve Camp Collar Shirt - Todd Snyder: rstyle.me/+e28ze0vGLnvixzGO9Olm2w Second Skin Crew Neck Tee - Tommy John: rstyle.me/+g4fTp9jFSX4uV0qFVU9pGg Cream Linen Pants: hespokestyle.com/product/cream-linen-pants/ Black Solid Linen Suit Pants: hespokestyle.com/product/black-solid-linen-suit-pants/ Original Pilot Sunglasses - American Optical: amzlink.to/az06Gr9hdjna1 Traveler Penny Bourbon Suede - Grant Stone: www.grantstoneshoes.com/products/traveler-penny-bourbon-suede?ktk=MDFXc09HLWIwZDAyZWFlZGNj
Welcome back Mr. Sacawa. Had missed the nonchalance and elegance that comes with your style tips and videos. Keep the content coming and as fresh as possible. May you please give us your 2024 updated footwear collection
I am a LONG TIME follower of your channel and you have really helped me to reduce the amount of clothing I have but at the same time loving every single piece I own, and all together really improving my style and confidence. In my friend group and my family I am now known as the guy who always dresses nice. And this makes me feel great! Another idea for a video - Capsule grown-up casual wardrobe… Love your content! Thanks for everything you did for me.
Awesome capsule. We could all take inspiration and simply switch out a couple of items or change colors slightly (ie: navy rather than black etc.) or toss in some linen shorts or whatever suits our own individual style and lifestyle.
Waited for these videos forever. Thank you Brian. Your efforts into curating the wardrobe and making these videos must be appreciated. I don't usually bother typing up comments but wanted to show my excitement and appreciation. I copied and will continue to fill my wardrobe with every single outfit you recommend.
@@hespokestyle Most definitions just waxed too poetic for my liking. I value finding the beauty in things. But for a person who is on a life mission, time is of the greatest value.
Thanks for the video, Brian! I’ve been hoping to see a new long form video from you. The blue Glen Plaid sport coat is probably my favorite piece - great color and pattern. Also, as someone who has been a follower of yours for some time now, I have to say I appreciate the evolution of your video production as well. Your use of editing, lighting, b-roll, etc. is truly engaging and creative. Thanks, as always!
Enjoyed watching this video!!! Gives me some great ideas. I picked up a houndstooth jacket like yours this summer as well. Looks great with brown trousers too! You gave me some other color combinations to play with now. Really like watching and reading your content!!
Not sure I can get the whole capsule together in time but I’ll definitely be applying some of these tips for an upcoming resort trip in Mexico. Thank you!
No matter how careful you pack…better hope your hotel room has an iron with all of that linen. If you’re in a hot resort where are the non -swim shorts? I’d ditch a pair of the trousers for some crisp chino shorts and also a polo shirt in a versatile colour. Good video with some inspiration though.
I agree, especially with more colour like shades of red or green (i.e. pastels). The black trousers could be sacrificed, especially if the loafer is brown. I would also add a white minimalist leather sneaker, for walking about town and the more casual looks. Nice capsule though.
i love those loafers. looks amazing. however, i always experience heel slippage with loafers, so they are not practical for me. next best option would be loafer-shaped single monk straps! my preferred outfits are - 1, 3, 6, 11, 12, 17
Looks great but most of the outfits are seem military inspired (probably due to the glasses), and quite serious. Great if that's what you're going for. All apart from the ones with the printed shirt outfits. Look no. 7 was my favourite. You immediately seemed more chill and playful.
Those are some sharp loafers, Brian. Can you say more about the No-show sock thing? About why women’s socks are better? I’ve copped a couple nice pairs of loafers from abroad and never wear them because I have yet to solve my no-show problem.
Great piece of content offering lots of value. Always love the long form videos and open and read every newsletter. Recently picked up my first chocolate leather penny from brooks brothers that I use at least twice a week for work but I’ve found them difficult to dress down for summer, especially with no-shows. That being said, I’ve seen you rock suede tassels and I’ve been looking out for some. As my first pair of suede tassels that I’d like to get four seasons out of, do you suggest tan like the suede Pennys here or a chocolate brown suede like the ones you have from Morjas?
Thanks for your continued support! So happy to hear that. Honestly, I was a little worried with the color of these loafers. I used to wear a color like this all the time but I've found it a bit harder over the past five years or so and, like you, tend to gravitate towards darker browns. However, I must say that putting this video together was a lot of fun and re-opened my eyes to the versatility of this shoe. I haven't been wearing the Morjas nearly as much -- actually, not at all over the past couple years -- so would highly recommend a penny like this.
Made in China must be looked at how we look at Made in China parts, in the automotive industry. Made in China is different than Made for “USA Company” in China which typically signifies that there are higher processes and QC at the manufacturing facility in said location. BMW, VW, Porsche, and Audi all have their factory original parts being made in house in their China manufacturing plants. Yes, even current production vehicles. Brian, welcome back. 🥃
I've worn both and have to say that I'm partial to the AOs. Likely because I also have a vintage pair from the 1950s that I used to wear with my Army uniform.
Thx for helpful vid --- one issue, however, DO CAMP SHIRTS USUALLY LOOK BETTER UNTUCKED, ESPECIALLY IN SUMMER OR ON WARM CLIMATE CRUISES, ETC.? I'm tall and I think they often look better untucked, depending on the outfit of course.....what do you think?
Great video. Is the white shirt a cotton poplin, and is the collar soft or stiff like a dress shirt? Also, for a summer resort I would have loved to see at least a pair of shorts, sneakers or sandals! Thanks.
It is a really good choice! But I consider choosing brown or dark blue trousers instead black and blue cell-patterned shirt instead yours. And I would ask you opinion to get grain leather half lined loafer (like jl lopez moorland grain). All the best
We go on a 2-3 week Euro cruise every summer and I always bring too much. It's a luxury cruise, so I always feel like I need to dress up, but few people do anymore. This time I will try your capsule idea, but I do need more than 1 pair of shoes. I tried hiking/walking long distances in loafers last time and I was left missing my Merrells.
Great Video Brian !! The styling is on point, although I think the fit could be improved considerably. Is there any way you could include or do a video about how to dress for a rainy day - especially if you have to take short walks to work. I understand it may not always be raining as heavily as it does here in India. I would really appreciate some tips and suggestions. Love and Thumbs from India ❤❤
Finally a new video about summer outfits, thank you! Regarding the "China" thing. I'm in no doubt that the worlds largest factory country is able to produce high quality products but I'm also not willing to pay the same price for those products as if they were made in a country with higher labour cost e.g. europe. This usually is the base price on which all margins are put on top and therefore if such products are high in price I'm just not willing to spend the same amount as I know that then the retailer is just taking out way too much money out of my pocket.
Do you have any experience with Grant Stone? Do you feel that is the case here? Personally, having owned many different brands of shoes, including Alden and Crockett & Jones, I find Grant Stone to be far superior to any other shoe in its general price class, like Carmina, et al. I think those other brands in that price category are decent, but not as high quality as Grant Stone.
Honestly, $348 for suede shoes is too expensive. I've been looking at shoes recently and found that Barker and Loake offer better prices, especially with their current summer sale. Both brands are based in Northampton, UK, which has a strong tradition of shoemaking. Their prices are more reasonable compared to Churches or Crockett & Jones (also from Northampton) but still maintain high quality. Here are some options: - Barker Ledley - Castagnia Suede: £155.00 - Barker St Pauls - Castagnia Suede: £245.00 - Barker Gates - Castagnia Suede: £245.00 - Loake Russell: £250.00 - Loake Imperial: £235.00 Since you're ordering from the US, you may need to pay extra import tax. However, the price and quality still surpass Grant Stone. It's true that we don't need to boycott products made in China. However, factories like Barker, Loake, Churches, and Crockett & Jones have a longstanding history of quality, which they maintain by keeping their factories in Northampton.
Big fan of Crockett & Jones here. And for the quality of the shoe you get from Grant Stone, that price is more than appropriate. I have experience with Loake and I sent both pairs back -- they just weren't as nice as they should have been.
@@hespokestyle I have a similar experience with Barker. So sometimes I have to see with super sharp eyes online. I sent a pair back before. But In general Barker and Loake shoes still fit my need in terms of style, quality and price.:) Crockett and jones shoes are so beautiful. It’s expensive but I put it on my list for the future when I get more paid 😆
When travelling, you dont have the option to bring 200 clothes, one blazer will be enough, some trousers and the rest pack light. Remember to enjoy and do a little shopping. Enjoy the summer.
.. no longer supporting this channel.. ive reached out via website form and havent heard anything in return over a month now nor in any comments.. youre able to afford all of these watches and clothing.. expensive and i myself cannot afford any of these things.. thanks for the previous video and insight.. goodbye..
LOL. Yes, sorry if I missed it. Might have gone to spam? Might have gone to the shop team and not made it to me? I'm always happy to help people but if someone thinks I *owe* them something, well...
China is this centuries economic leader, and also its manufacturer... why people still think chinas manufacturing quality is bad? Its not a rational thought... bad quality is also made there, for brands that sell low quality products obviously... as far as im concerned tech as iphones are not made in norway or england...
