When it comes to fabrics…I prefer all natural materials…cotton, linen, wool…. If it wrinkles it wrinkles. I hate poly / synthetic anything….

I happen to like the way 100% cotton shirts wrinkle in a dress shirt during the work day. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I love to press a shirt and let it wrinkle naturally as I wear it.

Your videos are always the reaffirming dad advice most of us never got, it never gets old. Being a relatable, nice guy also makes your channel leagues ahead of other style videos. Not knocking them, but at sixty I find your content the most helpful. Thanks as always for all that you do.

I remember in a gentleman's gazette video, they said a non-iron shirt sometimes has chemicals added which make the fabric less breathable and feel hotter.

Man where have these tips been all my life. ❤

I IRON ALL MY SHIRTS EVEN IF THEY ARE NON IRON!

Proper fit a must, it makes the entire difference .

Good basic dressing info for men presented in the right tone for most . A personal preference of mine that I never figured out until the last couple of years is what it is about certain shirts I don't like even when I can find one that ticks most of the boxes for me is button colour . I prefer a dark shirt to have same colour buttons. - a line of white buttons on dark fabric is distracting and lowers the look of quality on shirts IMO - just saying' . It's also harder to find shirts with same colour buttons .

If you roll your sleeves up, try rolling them up when still on the hanger. You might find it looks tidier.

I deliberately break the "match your socks to your pants" rule. I like to wear borderline outrageous socks, especially if I'm wearing dress pants and a jacket. It's a good pop of color, like a pocket square.

The 'proper fit' issue is one I've struggled with. Oversizing, whether it used to be a trend in the 80's, being raised by Depression Era parents who want you to 'grow into it', hiding body parts, or thinking/wishing I was bulkier...has influenced me into the early 2000's. It looks sloppy and juvenile. I had jackets up to 42R (and I'm really 38S). I can understand guys needing to dress looser for comfort, but I feel so much better wearing clothes that are sized for the person I really am.

These are great tips! You always come up with great videos. And like another poster said, fit is king.

I absolutely love this channel. Nice work, John. Keep it up.

Great video John!!

Store clerks don’t understand math. You try to buy a dress shirt and they show you a shirt that is 32/33. Someone needs to explain to them that 32 inches can never be 33 inches no matter what they put on a label, which is why I have made my shirt made. They fit and are worth the money.

Funny. I literally just commented on your video about sandwiching. I basically said I liked that you modeled for us and I used to not try things on. Once I tried something on I didn't think would look good on me, and then it DID end up looking good, I started taking the time to try new things.

i look at images of celebs i like to get ideas

Thank you demo and info 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Useful checklist, as always. Thanks, John!

Thanks for sharing John. 👍🏻

Great tips, John. Thanks.

Great video and tips as always John. Thanks mate 😀

So thankful that I found this channel! I’m starting to focus more on my dress and your tips are extremely appreciated and really make sense.

Thanks John. Another great video. You have really helped me step up my look.

Great video, thanks John.

Good info as always- thanks John.

You always have nice clothing, & good advice 😬

Great video! I'll be checking out your stuff in future.

3:06 100% cotton vs cotton/poly blend makes a huge difference - and of course different types of cotton 'wear' and 'resist' wrinkling differently - 'non iron' branded shirts from Hilfiger, Klein, or Ellis are pretty reliable in terms of wearability, style, and endurance....cheers.

Glad you mentioned socks. I was always told back in the day your socks are an extension of your pants not your shoes. I've always used this especially with my suits which I wear everyday for work. But that was "back in the day" so I've always questioned if this has changed. Good to hear I'm still in the right lane there as a general rule.

Very solid video today. I enjoy wearing polos quite a bit, but I do wear T-shirts sometimes. I also liked the info about layering as well.

Goodd video. I find color coordination can be diificult starting out when you don't have a ton of pieces.

This was a great one! Legend

Can you explain in maybe a video the types of collars that collarsandco has and what or who should wear a certain type of collar?

You're the best... thanks

did you ever do a video on different body types? As a skinny guy the tucked shirt+fitted pants never worked.

A true legend. Well, thank you sir. That’s what I’m striving for.

I have only discovered RU-vid about 4 years now and I have to admit it has been great help for my fashion "sense and improvement". Your channel and Style OG's amongst others, even younger guys like Aaron Ramirez have breathe new life in my "style game😊❤🎉💯 🙏.

Nice...thanks for these details...growing up, most of my shirts were 100% cotton, but most seem to be blends now. These types of videos are key...my local mall is barely alive, and i've heard Macy's may switch to small personal showrooms/dressers...?

For the wrinkle test it may have been helpful to mention the fabric makeup of the shirts. I would assume 100% cotton would wrinkle more than a poly/lycra blend. I’ve followed your advice about wearing properly fitted clothes for years now. Baggy is unflattering no matter your body size. And this is for older guys, wear pants and shirts with at least some stretch. They fit much better and are way more comfortable. Ween off the Levi’s.

Great video, John. I've been wanting to get some polo shirts from collars and co the portifino ones. There's 3 colors I want but always seem to be out of stock in the size I need,but I have 5 polo from Spier and Mackay that are like the ones from the other company,but I keep checking collars and co when I can.

Socks are kind of extension for the shoes so I think they should match shoes more than pants. What do you think?

Way to go Johno, I hate linen because of ironing! Cheers 🦘🦘

I only buy shirts that are made entirely from natural materials.

I’d love to see a video on any tips you have for taking care of your clothes. Especially how to keep a white dress shirt white. Or do you just buy new white shirts every month and toss the old one when it gets ring around the collar?

ok so threw away a few old shirts lol good test John and picked up 3 Polo's for my trip coming up soon

I got a moniker for you, Jon… Babe Ruth of RU-vid.… Always knocking it out of the park! What do you think? Always appreciate you brother

Thanks John. Will the discount work for me in England?

John- What are your thoughts on making a video on how to take care of clothes and accessories. Most guys don't seem to know how to iron or polish shoes. I iron my shirts every wash but I see so many guys with wrinkles on their sleeves and collars.

Those shirts look great but I just can’t bring myself to spend that much on a shirt. I Do like your videos though thanks.

Love the videos .Keep up the good work.I noticed you had your shirts on decent hangers.Wire and plastic hangers are a definite no no.Also wish I had more wardrobe space …my wife’s clothes keep finding their way into my little section and they are wrinkled before I get a chance to wear them 😂

Thank you for pointing out that the suit jacket needs to be buttoned only at the top. A detail that needs to be stressed!

I’ve been trying to figure out what the name of the button on the sleeve up from the cuff buttons are - gauntlet button! Though I wear shirts that don’t have one, I’m a big fan of the GB. Is it possible/feasible to have a tailor put them in? In any case, Thanks John for improving my wardrobe vernacular. 🙏😎

Do the material crush all the time ., trouble is many shirts are wrapped and unless you remove you can’t test. Shop workers don’t like you messing with displays. Polos are similarly difficult.

Love the channel. The wrinkle test unfortunately does almost the opposite of telling the quality of a material. Most shirts that don’t wrinkle or are wrinkle resistant are made out of polyester. And polyester is cheap man made material that is not breathable. Unfortunately a lot of companies use it because it is cheaper than natural materials.

Yesterday I purchased large dress shirt from Costco from Calvin clein.I returned it because it was very big although my size is large.Any best stores you recommend to purchase dress shirts which fits like charm!Thanks in advance!

You really should do a video on "Quiet luxury" You really have the style without realizing it as well. Also, Alexander channel has a really good video on Luxury and why rich people never wear it

The sock rule is not absolute, burgundy socks with dark gray slacks, navy socks with khaki slacks.

I like to buy clothes that don’t need ironing and still have style

Some of the most wearable fabrics are polyester based, which is basically plastic clothing. It's not the end of the world as some suggest. But legitimate concerns do exist on the effect of male hormones. It would be helpful to have some content focused on natural fabric options, although I admit that is a challenge.

Can you make a video of style for a bigger guy, like 5-11, 250lbs. Haven't seen one yet Thanks

Hello. I would sugges that if you have a video called "know these 12 things" that you list them numerically. Say Number one - always go for fit, Number two - understand layering, etc... There was no way in your video to count what twelve things you were talking about. Other than that, it was a nicely produced video.

"If you don't try new things,you may end up looking outdated quickly"👍

Yeah, Collars & Co shirts look nice but $140 USD a pop ($200 AUD) is a bit steep.

Collars and Co. is one of the worst companies in America . As long as your shirt fits perfectly, then they are fine. If you need customer service for anything then you are screwed. They routinely send the wrong size or pattern to you. They have no customer service phone # to contact people. They only accept emails that they hardly ever answer. They have employees that write reviews to make their reviews look good. On many review sites they have around a 1.5 out of 5 and that is terrible.

Correct, socks should match pants not shoes

White socks and blue jeans ARE acceptable.

Just tried collars and co. Polo shirts and one short sleeve button down. The entire collar, not just tips in front, are like stiff cardboard. Horribly uncomfortable. Sent it all back.

THATS WHAT THEY HAVE IRONS FOR! DON'T BE SO LAZY! NON IRON SHIRTS STILL NEED IRONED IF YOU CARE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE!!!!!!

How do I encourage my husband to upgrade his wardrobe without getting on his case?

If you go into a shop and scrunch up shirts,I think you would be asked to leave!

I'm an old geezer now, going on 17. If I had to give my younger self any advice, it would be this: don't waste your time or your mind on clothes, It will only dissipate your energies. There are important things in life; devote yourself to them. (PS: My younger self was an asshole. Too much time & too much money spent trying to impress people with my tie & sock wisdom. The only one who looked at what I was wearing was myself and I. Real People don't give a rat's ass about your ability to pull off Chic at the drop of a brass button. Trust me, a wrinkled smile & crow's feet are a testament to a life well-lived. People who smile freely and display a kind heart are the winners in life; cherish the times you share with them. They might leave you feeling better about yourself. Don't spend your time on a bitch with good taste, there is nothing to be gained. I mean that in the most sincere way. And stop studying models on the catwalk and in the ads. They all look like their feet hurt, and they can't go on another step, or another day. Life stinks. Fashion loves misery.)

Those sample dudes in the beginning clips look like nerds

The fact that Cuban liked it is a reason NOT to buy ANYTHING from them!

The shirts of Collars & Co are fine. Do not buy the half zip so called sweaters. They are a glorified track outfit and feel like a sweat shirt.. no way are they a sweater

Checked out Collars & Co and unfortunately it's a bunch of stuff adulterated with stretch fibers. Stretch fabric is junk from the fast fashion industry, made to wear out very quickly. It winds up being extremely expensive due to constant replacement. It's an ecological nightmare because it can't be recycled. Also it never fits right because it doesn't break-in to your body shape. I could go on but that's enough for me to say no.

With some love, this is all very, very basic advice. “Match your belt and shoes.” C’mon. Thats not even 101 level. That advice will help you not look like a teenager, but it’s not exactly what most people are looking for when they click a style video. I’m sincerely not trying to troll. I just expected a bit more.

Love to watch your presentation, good easy to understand solid advice, never bombastic or authoritative, I’ve definitely benefited from your channel. 🫶
