Robot or Elf? Get to Know Preston Schlueter (FAQ & Comment Response) 

Hard to believe that I've already been releasing videos here at the Gentleman's Gazette for almost a year! Thanks to everyone for your support--here's to much more content in the future celebrating our classic menswear community! - Preston

I really admire Preston. He's so genuine and nice. And his jawline can cut glass!

We love Preston. He upgraded Gentleman's Gazette significantly.

He speaks so eloquently and clearly and doesn't stutter, his body language may look a *little* nervous at times but his speech never fails him. It's super impressive, he's always been a great addition to the channel.

Preston be so into the vintage aesthetic that even his jaw is art deco! Now that is dedication to your vibe.

Preston Schlueter looks like a guy who would be cast as the husband in a core family in the madmen era

If being called a 'grandfather' means that one has impeccable diction, a great sense of style and the demeanour of a perfect gentleman, I'd certainly like to be called a grandfather.

I’m very impressed by Preston’s vocabulary and after learning that he’s not reading a script or memorize the script I’m even more impressed with his vocabulary and excellent grammar. I like his videos a great deal.

Preston inspires me. This guy lives life on his own terms and projects goodwill, humbleness and respect for others. I am excited to watch this man evolve through his twenties and learn from him. What a class act.

Preston looks like a Kingsman agent here. All he is missing is that signet ring.

People walk in to plastic surgeon's office with picture of Preston, and tell doctor, "Gve me a jawline like that!"

Love his style: straight shooter, no-nonsense, well-articulated, good conservative style.

Preston, a modest gentleman like yourself should receive nothing but admiration and respect for what you do and present to us. Thank you. Great video!

Preston is a stylish, handsome asset with excellent diction and a mellow cadence. He is genuinely interested in his work and carries himself with a gracious enthusiasm. A superlative addition to Gentleman's Gazette.

I don’t get why Preston gets the hate that he does, I personally love his style and think he’s a great example of how more young men should dress, I am a teen and frequently wear my penny loafers and cardigan, if he likes to dress like that, let him! It’s him wearing the clothes after all.

I was very surprised to discover the Peston was only 24. He definitely radiates 'old soul'.

A great thing to admire about Preston is he has learnt who he is so young, and embraced it. Some of us are quite a bit older and watch to make that journey ourselves. Learning to discover ourselves from you.

Preston is a great host on GG and it's nice to get to know him better. Great video guys. Keep it up.

Im gonna be honest here. I initially thought Preston was just an awkward guy who dressed like a grandpa and was weird. I made fun of him to myself for standing weird and being a grandpa soul. I will now offer my sincerest apologiez and I hope you read this Preston; I feel ashamed for laughing at you all the while not knowing anything about you nor your disability(which I think you handle exemplary). This was a stark reminder to never judge people beforehand. I am sorry for that, and even tho I do not dress in "classic menswear" at all I watch this channel all the time, and Preston is knowledgeable and great in front of the camera. Keep it up! And again, I am sorry for my predjudice!

We like Preston, he clearly enjoys men's fashion. He seems like a nice guy as well. God bless him.

Love how humble preston is. Even how many insult and funny comment he hears his still a kind mannered soul like a true gentlemen. Keep it classe guys love the video

Preston is a class act. A great part of the GG team!

Preston is a class act. Whoever is in charge of hiring in your company is really good at his or her job.

Preston is just so flawlessly professional, thats it. Very respectful, nice, productive, and positive. Good man.

This interview format was highly enjoyable. Have you guys considered doing more interviews for the channel?

After this interview, I find Preston even more authentic and sympathetic than before. Guys, keep the good work

At 75, comfortably retired and looking for the next constructive step in life, Preston is an inspiration. Frankly, I've always harbored a desire to learn the Great American Songbook and sing, credibly, in public. And lo, our guy Preston has done it! Hats of to you, Preston. You done went for it and did the Songbook proud.

Great video. Preston, you did not owe anyone any explanations on anything, but I respect your openness. Great sense of humor and always a gentleman. Keep on making great videos.

Preston looks like a Preston. His parents knew.

I think Preston comes across as an all-round nice guy. Simpatico, as the Italians say, or 'ein Sympathieträger' in German. It takes a certain degree of guts to stick to your own style, and when you couple that with good manners, it makes you a winner.

I love Preston!! He’s adorable!! He seems like such a sweet person 😊

Preston sounds interesting person...I love people who respect, and are keen to know things.

Never had it crossed my mind that Preston looked like a robot. He looks like an intelligent young man, that had a very good upbringing by a classy family. Kudos to you , young sir!

Preston is a great addition! I’ve been watching this channel for about 2.5 years!

I think Preston looks very dapper, love the warm and vintage style he enjoys. Also love the sweaters.

I'm shocked that you are so young, not because of your style, but because of your poise, confidence, and maturity. Keep up the good work.

He's awesome possum. A gem of a man. Fighting CP and doing it in style!

I like Preston. He is smart and elegant, has a great sense of humor and his videos are always informative and cover topics in depth. Keep up the good work, Preston!

Sven and Preston. You both are a breath of fresh air seldom found these times. Preston... Don't pay any attention to people who try to hurt you with cheap comments, you handled it like a true Gentleman, best of health young man, Keep it up Gents.

Preston, your confidence and grace under less than courteous comments demonstrates class and is truly inspiring. Keep on keeping on, friend!

I think he has really added to the channel. A good find.

I feel like not enough people are saying that Preston is absolutely beautiful! What a chiseled, gorgeous face! And great eyes, too! Are you single, Preston?! Let's get married!

I never knew that Preston had Cerebral Palsy. Fascinating.

Hey Gentleman's Gazette folks, I believe this is the right way you folks have dealt with the "elephant in the room" of people and their reactions, both to the style of Gentleman's Gazette and Preston's "disability" (in actuality his unique ability). The best way to deal with "hate" or criticism is humour and honesty and openness. Well done to you! I am a young man myself (one year and some over Preston), and although I don't apply everything I learn from here verbatim, I do understand and appreciate your thoroughness, your hearkening back to history, your appreciation for good, lasting and timeless quality and your hard work to produce what you do. And while I may dress a bit more "modernly", I always hearken back to the principles I have learned for the great work you do! I believe the "critics/haters/etc" are most likely a bit less cultured or simply misunderstanding of the aim of the channel and make bad judgements, or are simply here to rack up "likes" and to be class clowns. So simply keep doing what you're doing, and make light of it all. Preston, you're the man! I wish you all the best in all of your pursuits and even in your health and wellbeing. And same to you, Sven - which by the way, it speaks well of you to have hired Preston on the basis of his amazing personality and knowledge, rather than being swayed by an image only perspective.

Preston is a good sport with a good sense of humor. lol he took a beating here and it hardly phased him. I think he's doing a great job on the channel!

I think you're adorable Preston, and I enjoy your very detailed, relaxed, fun-loving, yet refined style! xo Lisa

All I want to say is that Preston always looks very good. He dresses nicely and his way of speaking is super clear. I wish I knew how to dress, speak and sing the way he does. He is such a source of inspiration. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him rather than those haters wasting their time writing mean and meaningless comments.

Preston, I appreciate your candidness and your always being a gentleman.

I think the ability to openly communicate a condition that you have and help others understand you better, in a way that doesn't make them uncomfortable or embarrassed for asking/noticing, might as well be a hallmark of a gentleman. Bravo!

My wife and I have been watching Gentlemen's Gazette for a couple of months and truly enjoy your channel. We love listening to your advice and appreciate the genuine comrardarie between Sven and Preston. We were both stunned at the number of comments that are aimed at Preston regarding his physique and demeanor. As for my wife and I , we find him delightful and refreshing. We love his sense of humor, knowledge, and wit. We have the same affection for you as well, Sven. I have changed my approach to dressing and grooming myself because of your channel. To be fair to you Preston, the comments about your presence that are complimentary are very nice, i.e., comparing you to Taron Eggerton and to the Marvel Cinematic Universe character, Vision. We look forward to conintinuing to watch your channel and learning from both of you gentlemen!!

I love how Preston takes all comments with a great sense of humor. It just makes him more endearing.

Thank you so much for this very informative mini documentary on Preston. I appreciate this young man now more than ever. He is my favorite spokesperson on your RU-vid channel. I would never have suspected that he was dealing with cerebral palsy. I applaud him for his courage and his vitality for life. Thank you Preston for all that you bring to the Gentlemans Gazette!

I love Preston, it's nice to see someone with a disability represented in fashion

Great video guys, interesting to hear you speak a bit more candidly. I never would guessed Preston had Cerebral Palsy. Good for him not letting it dictate his life. If that was me I might be too nervous to be in performing arts. Also while there's only a few comments I'd like to say its almost entirely thanks to you guys that I just commissioned my first custom suit. Really appreciate all that knowledge.

I'm an English literature student and I appreciate the way Preston speaks, the grammatical structure and vocabulary he uses. Everything (from a linguistic point of view at least) is on point!

He's what we call an "old soul" and I think it's lovely and refreshing to see a young guy into vintage culture like Preston.

Raphael is really good at interviewing. He carries on a topic without interruption, and the way he asks questions (and the questions themselves) make it feel more like a friendly conversation rather than an interview. Keep up the good work!

Preston is a handsome devil, and I dig his aesthetic. Thanks for the info about CP. I didn’t realize that it could cause you to burn more calories, but now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense. I think people compare you to an Android because you have a remarkably refined personal aesthetic, and carry yourself and speak in a formal manner. Androids often have the same characteristics and mannerisms because it causes them to stand apart subtly from the humans in the story.

Preston is an absolute gem of a human being 💕

Preston is the Man. Thanks to Raphael's channel I've been polishing my style since the last year. These two guys are top influencers

PRESTON, such a nice name! I'm also 24, and you are like a hero to me now! Nice to meet you better.

Thank you for the interview. Great to see Preston as he is authentic in his style and approach. Seeing a young person who is well spoken and worldly is a great complement to your channel. Love the channel as it touches on more than clothes but on equally important topics (confidence, culture, manners) that make a man a gentleman. Glad to see Preston can take comments (nice / not so nice) as he appears confident and grounded.

I just discovered this channel a few weeks ago. In particular, I find Preston to be an awesome and interesting person. His fondness for early 20th century American style, jazz, and films from that era are something we both have in common. However, he achieves the style much better than I ever could. Thanks to you both.

Preston is truly an inspiring personality. Glad we got to know him a bit better. His confidence appears deep and solid. Also he is so talented, eloquent, insightful and interesting. Wish I could ooze such confidence and charisma.

I really like Preston's appreciation for classic film you guys really need to create a series on golden age celebrities and their style to continue after your Cary Grant video • Clark Gable • Humphrey Bogart • David Niven • Fred Astaire • Gregory Peck • Jimmy Stewart to name a few

A much needed video... answered a lot of question especially about his cerebral palsy... loved how they didn’t stay away from this topic and handled it like true gentlemen

People need to leave him alone he seems to be a very nice guy with good morals and that deserves respect in it of it’s self

I've recently started following the channel. It was nice learning more about Preston. I have never noticed him leaning to one side. When I watch Preston's videos what I see is his incredible sense of style and how well he wears the vintage look. I also love how knowledgeable and confident he is about the subject matter, Keep up the great work!

Bravo to Preston for taking this in stride, much respect and admiration!

"Part of being here at the Gentleman´s Gazette is always trying to behave as a Gentleman would" Preston Schlueter. Man you need to get that on a T-shirt.

Preston just showed the real gentleman attitude in this interview! Quelle prestance!

Definitley a unique person. I appreciate anyone who is happy with standing out from the crowd.

Even tho I'm a girl I still enjoy watching your content. You both are really awesome!

Is it just me or does he look like Clark Kent? (positive comment)

I for one appreciate what both of you give to us all. I am not ashamed to admit I've learned much, and continue to learn, thanks to you both. Preston, you are an inspiration.

Preston is an elegant, eloquent, empathetic and exceptional gentleman...always thought so...a good man...thanks for letting us get to know him a little better...check out his singing...he's a gentle superstar...fan of the channel as soon as I subcribed.

I thought it was a bit much to read dozens of comments criticizing Preston's appearance. After the first few we got the idea. It went on for too long and I hope it didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

Love the video. Great resilience Preston. Bravo! And Rafael, you are a nice guy. Love that!

I stumbled across this gem of a channel looking for advice on caring for leather work boots. I am so glad I found it you guys are fantastic. Prestone, you are doing a great job connecting with our generation and keep this information relevant to younger viewers. Keep up the great work.

To be honest Preston is one one of the rare sweetest people one can find on earth. Respect to you.

Thank you for this wonderful video. Preston is the personification of what a gentleman should be, especially for such a young person. He is articulate, soft-spoken, well-read, and sophisticated. The trolls who leave snide, crude, and insulting remarks couldn't carry out his garbage can. They are cowards who hurl insults while hiding behind the anonymity of their computers. Don't these jerks realize that it is hurtful and disrespectful to slam someone's appearance in a misguided attempt for humor. I'm a fan of Preston and I hope he never changes anything.

Preston is the best thing happened to GG since its wonderful creation! Keep it up!

Love these guys. Quiet confidence, great conversation, genuine gentlemen.

Dear Preston I think you are a very gentle and considerate Man. I've watched you often and I think you are a class act !!! Seriously classy and a true gentleman!!! God bless Pastor tc

I'm so sorry for the insulting comments Preston, thanks for your work!

I really like Preston! He is very charismatic and talks in a nice, warm tone.

It is shocking that someone would make fun of Preston!!? He is perfection!!!

I was an NICU nurse and worked with CP babies.....Glad to see such a wonderful outcome with style! Wishing you the best!

I have a whole new respect for Preston. I appreciate the transparency and willingness to be vulnerable. The aforementioned is basically nonexistent in the arena of men's style content, except those brief moments when "some creators" feign humanness to look less like a d-bag. Being gentleman does not mean being pretentious or having a big ego. Preston embraces who he is unapologetically, and that's pretty cool. Keep it up.

Preston looks like a future cultural and style icon. In 30 years people are gonna comment” that dude looks like preston”

Whole new respect for Preston! A admire how he doesn't let his disability get in his way or even be a main focus in his life. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge!

Nice getting to know Preston. I enjoy his delivery. Also, he has great style. Could not believe his tender age.

Wait what? It's been a year already? I'm still calling Preston as "the new guy" 😅 He has improved a lot compared to his earlier videos 👍🏻👍🏻

Love this improved, conversational style!

He's adorable af. Please protect him at all costs.

He looks so sweet and adorable ❤️ you're very precious Preston!

I always thought of him as a friendly android. Love seeing him on the channel!

Hey Preston, You carry CP well and as a "living expert" of the condition myself ;) even I wasn't entirely sure for a long time of watching you. Not everyone can appreciate the years of work it takes to normalize your body movements to the point of just being taken for a robotic or wooden 'normal" guy, it's kind of a weird compliment huh? Two quick questions, do you still wear AFOs and were you born premature?

Good role-models for style. I love golden age Hollywood myself - particularly Cary Grant. Grant and Astaire also had the distinction of being class acts in their private lives as well. You're doing remarkable well with CP. I'm sure you realise the unfortunate comments are, when you analyse them, compliments in disguise.

You're a hero, man. You have conquered the very fears that hold back so many people from achieving their true potential. You can sing, act, debate, orate/speak publicly, deliver comedy, be yourself on camera and let any negativity roll off your back while taking steps forward. That's incredible. Obviously, your style is clean and timeless, but that's a given as GG would only hire those who would help raise the bar.
