This is one of the best posts I have seen in some time. The history of 'madder' silk and its origins was fascinating. Also, you boys looked perfect. The clothing, shoes and accessories were appropriate and in very presentable appearance. Loved this video. Keep up your wonderful work. Incidentally, I looked you up online and found a video showcasing your amazing singing ability. I have always been wild about multi-talented individuals.
i LOVE ancient madder anything. i recently purchased my third ancient madder tie from drakes, this time. i own two pocket squares too. i went to a dinner wearing one time, and sadly only one person knew what it was. another person told me it looked like something someone from the 80s would wear. whatever. theyre awesome
Thank you for the video. My friend: A minor correction. Mohenjo-Daro is not located in India. It is located in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Built around 2500 BCE, it was one of the largest settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation.
Please consider making a video about how to pair (dress) shirts with beige and khaki suits or generally how to pair brighter coloured suits. If you apply classic style rules you choose a lighter colour for the dress shirt than the suit jacket or blazer, therefore you end up mostly with white and off white. What about breaking this rule with brighter suit colours and go for a darker coloured dress shirt, for example a darker grey (but not charcoal) dress shirt with a beige suit jacket in casual situations? Do you think one can pull that off or what are your thoughts on this topic?
I recently (about 4 years ago) has to change my wardrobe because of my work evolution.... now I have to really suit up as a gentleman at least 2 times a week (prior only on events.... all rest of time, as a Steve Jobs wannabe). Your channel I discovered I would say 2 years ago,.... and it made a change in what I searched for because prior I just knew like "Hugo Boss", oks this has to be good.... now i know better and search more handcrafted suits, it's like a rare competition on who looks like a photograph and who doesn't, with cool new suits. Hahahahaha never thought I would be in this position, I've always have been kind of stylish, but not much for suits, until now and with the help of the Gentleman Gazette. Thanks again!! (And I do own 7 of this ties which I inherited from my grandpa 👍... after this episode, now i know their worth)
No, they are not to learn more about Hermes ties, check out www.gentlemansgazette.com/is-it-worth-it-hermes/? and www.gentlemansgazette.com/how-spot-fake-hermes/?
"And looking grim, 'Cause they've been sitting Choosing a hat. Does anyone still wear a hat? I'll drink to that." That's what "the ladies who lunch" say. And, on a related matter, does anyone still wear ties?
Great information as always, but personally I found the volume of internal links a bit jarring and a bit like a sales pitch for the site. People coming here know there's a video on nearly everything already
No, the majority of people who come here have not been to the channel before and they don't know the other videos. Nobody forces you to watch other videos or click the links
We offer both kinds. Untipped ties require a higher level of skill and take more time to make. On top of that it was a traditional way to make ties that way in the 1930s. The tip is a bit lighter ND it is easier to pull the tip through when tying a tie. A tipped tie lining is fine too, and we offer both finishes. At the end of the day it is a matter of preference but we like the untipped style
@@gentlemansgazette Thank you for your detailed answer. I have recently ordered a tie from shibumi firenze and it seemed that the untipped tie may be as a result more fragile in that part of the tie...
@@Ventura2050 Silk is in itself a strong material. I think untipped is great for printed ties, not so much for woven ties because with multicolors, you can see all the blind threads in teh back and they are more likely to rip with a fingernail, than a tightly woven plain fabric that is printed on the other side.
@@gentlemansgazette Thank you so much. I will try out the untipped version and see where it gets me. Tipped or untipped, Fort Belvedere ties would be my first choice because of your great variety and quality, but I'll have to wait until you maybe have an european based retailer.
Absolutely correct! Our apologies for the oversight; our article text has been updated, as well. Thanks for your assistance, and for watching! - Preston
