Such a shame people’s minds are stained by stereotypes and will say and comment pejoratively that it looks costumey. It’s simply one of the best suits he owns in my humble opinion.
@@OrrosGG the peasants in my country only wear flip flops and shorts....and my style is close to the one depicted here. 🤦♂️ can't even go and do my groceries ....
So glad GG mentioned “Once Upon A Time in America”, hands down one of the greatest, most overlooked gangster movies of all time. Sergio Leone’s parting shot and magnum opus.
Once Upon a Time in America is so overlooked, people just can't fathom sitting down for 4+ hours for a story and imagery. If it were 1.5 hours maybe it won't be overlooked so much, but still would be. People rather keep talking about Taxi Driver (because muh mental illness The Joker anyone??), Raging Bull, Good Fellas, and The Sopranos. They would rather watch entire 45 minute episode series of The Sopranos over and over than watch Once Upon a Time in America once and soak in a story and ultra-classic film-making by a man who probably still did not know English.
I love Sven’s move into putting into practice the stereotype of the gangster in a pinstripe double breasted suit and signature white banded fedora. If we get people to get rid of the ideas of stereotypes in mind, those classic suits wouldn’t be considered costumey by the average joe that doesn’t understand classic menswear. Another honorable mention of a stereotype is the top hat and monocle combo which in the idea of some people is the representation of the aristocracy or the british entrepreneur. Although funny, what is sad is how people comment pejoratively the way those people see those stereotypical outfits.
@@Gesetzgebender --- Yes, especially the too-loud contrast between the background colour and the pinstripes, which bespeaks of social desperation; perhaps in place of a personality?
That dark brown suit with the high round lapels -- just stunning. I want one! Would be fun to see your analysis of period films that were awarded Best Costuming, perhaps as far back as the suit goes.
This is one of the most stylish outfits I've ever see Raphael assemble. And he pull it off with such confidence. If I'm to wear a fitted replica of that outfit, I will always be worry if people would notice.
I love seeing people give love to the classic Scarface movie! It does deserve it. Great video as always and remember, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.
“They send one of yours to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue! Thats the Chicago way! And thats how you get Capone!” - Sean Connery, The untouchables
What's more funny of all this is the fact that Sven, Preston or Kyle have such a knowledge of style and whatnot that they can pull off the gangster look easily and look even more intimidating.
I would love to see one about movies that put emphasis on etiquette and manners, in a similar way as the Kingsman "How to become a Gentleman" scenes if possible, because it's one part of that series I have enjoyed so much :)
i recommend you to watch the channel William Hanson he is a ettiquete expert and the channel the royal butler but be aware their outfits are not that good
Thank you for these cinephile episodes! Together they (almost) atone for Mr. Schneider's crime of calling Hitchcock's Vertigo boring in one of them. ;)
I would love a gentleman's gazette magazine, some exclusive articles or something would be amazing to just flip through by the fireplace, and collect as time goes on.
One of my favorite menswear shows (i know the video is about movies but I feel like talking about a show) is Sherlock. The one with Benedict Cumberbatch. I love Mycroft and how he's always rocking the 3 piece suit, and Sherlock with his consistent lack of a tie. It really shows how different the characters are, with Mycroft being so proper and Sherlock being so out there.
Good to see the shout-out to Justin Fitzpatrick at the end. I own a pair from his "Cle Elum" range and I am very satisfied with the make, especially for the price. Would you consider sharing your thoughts on Justin's brand in a future video, Raphael? Beste Grüße aus Köln!
Hello Gentleman gazette people, I've been watching your videos for a long time and i really admire and appreciate what you all do to keep class alive. I've a little suggestion- there's a song called Style by robin and the 7 hoods released in 1964. As the name suggests, its about style and its classic. Hence, i feel it is your field of expertise. It'll be fun to watch your video on your opinions about the song, and ofcourse, the suits in the song.
Glad the Sting was at number one, as Robert Shaw is my favorite actor of all time and this film was an absolute joy and Shaw made a convincing mob boss, he projected power, intelligence and seriousness into every role he played . As a kid, for some reason I gravitated towards Black and White film & TV like Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd and my favorite, the TV series 'The Buccaneers' with Robert Shaw.
One of the most beautiful gangster movies is Oscar, with Sylvester Stallone. Besides wonderful clothes it has amazing Art Deco sets. It’s not in the least bit serious, it’s a good movie to watch with a date or the family.
Can you do commentary regarding the costumes from the movie Dracula-1992? Specifically, Gary Oldman. His attire is lovely, but I wanted to know if it was accurate.
@@demspunkdamerica3rdbananar207 in his own weird way he was at the forefront of the “dressing well takes too much of my valuable time” Silicon Valley mindset.
@@JoJoJoker Good to know but still sad. I think Prince Edward was one of the best dressers and his clothes are preserved along with Wallis'. They're amazing. Men clothing makes my mouth water. I'm a female who loves these broadcasts.
@@demspunkdamerica3rdbananar207 they’re very interesting. Those clothes are still available on Savile Row sometimes from the same manufacturers such as Henry Poole. Hughes had OCD and apparently he thought his clothes had germs on them so he burned them and began wearing cheap stuff off the rack, plus he was apparently paranoid about looking wealthy during the depression. Got rid of his nice cars, too.
Love the old Cagney films, always have always will. Angels with Dirty Faces, babay! Bonnie & Clyde was awesome. Just had to mute all of Blanche's screaming. 😲
Bonnie & Clyde may not have been a great movie for men's fashion; but it had a great impact on woman's fashion. After that movie came out, designers started showing longer hem lengths in their collections. The Untouchables clothes were by Giorgio Armani. Do you think that as has was not from the US, he had a different perspective?
Armani is quite misunderstood; you have the Miami Vice designs which he mostly made for the cast, which all people here relentlessly boast their hate with a meme-passion, and the same people only remember his best stuff from The Untouchables; designed during the airing of Miami Vice. Armani hasn't made anything good since before Eau Di Gio. He's extremely dated and his brand has continued to fail since that bottle of stank.
It might have been appropriate to mention that the wardrobe for "The Untouchables" was made by Giorgio Armani. (EDIT) sorry, just saw that someone else already pointed that out.
Du hättest 3 Filme unbedingt erwähnen müssen: auf Nr.1 hätte der Film: Die Valachi Papiere von Charles Bronson, auf Nr. 2 Oscar von Silvester Stallone und auf Nr. 3 der Film: Harlem Nights von Eddie Murphy gehört. Die Outfits in den Filmen schlagen alle anderen Filme bei weitem. Liebe Grüße aus Wien
