Gentleman Quiz: gentl.mn/what-gentleman-are-y...
00:00 Classic Style Introduction
We discuss Classic Style as a concept a great deal here at the Gentleman’s Gazette. But what exactly do we mean by this term? Having a clear understanding of what exactly Classic Style is, is a necessary prerequisite if you intend to emulate and cultivate it.
01:28 → Classic Style is Rooted in the Golden Age of Menswear
02:44 → Classic Style is Not Inherently Bound to the Values of the Golden Age of Menswear
03:26 → Classic Style is Timeless
04:48 → Classic Style is Not a Costume
05:58 → Classic Style is Malleable
07:22 → Classic Style is Not Unchanging
08:42 → Classic Style is Versatile
10:35 → Classic Style is Not Restrictive
11:53 → Classic Style is Nuanced
13:13 → Classic Style is Not Distracting
14:52 → Classic Style Is Comfortable
16:04 → Classic Style is Not Uncomfortable
17:02 → Classic Style is Accessible
17:47 → Classic Style is Not Inherently Expensive (But Still Quality!)
19:20 → Classic Style is For You
Again, classic style is all about taking the sum total of sartorial experience from the Golden Age of Menswear and distilling it into a form that still looks dapper today. This means that even if you don’t strictly want to partake in the conventions of classic style, knowing the basics will still help you to perfect your own personal style. And if learning exactly what classic style is and isn’t has piqued your interest, then you’re in exactly the right place to keep learning even more.

Classic menswear is a traditional template to me, but it is also guideline too express my individuality. I enjoy it as a way to project confidence and creativity when interacting with people. My favorite compliment was when someone commented that I look like I stepped out of a novel, which is what I aim at; timelessness. Agent Keen: "How does it feel to be a walking anachronism?" Raymond Reddington: "Righteous."

@rowauthority Год назад

While commenting on some of my .... "questionable(?)" fashion choices back in the 80's, my Grandfather (with a scathing sigh) said "Todd. Styles change. Style doesn't". For whatever reason, that has stayed with me to this day. It is always in the back of my mind when I an choosing those pieces for my wardrobe that will (should) have any longevity.

@oliverkey1435 Год назад

My preference tends to be clothing from the 1930s. It is classic and very fashionable, with not many style slip-ups.

@RaoulKunz1 Год назад

I personally have adapted my modes of dress to a vaguely early 1930s style with the occasional Edwardian-esque (not period accurate mind you, just certain elements that I find personally attractive that can harmonize with essentially modern clothing) outlier - cue my account photo here, that's all modern sartorial articles but in the context I was wearing this morning suite ensemble (a highly formal ceremony in the context of my orthopaedic shoe-maker guild) it was nevertheless apropriate. The only element that made it distinct was me replacing the tie with a formal cravat ("Ascot") and wearing it with a standing collar. Similarly I tend to wear rather cheap made-to-measure suits at work because a) if something gets damaged it's not overly dramatic but b) at the same time creates a very "classical professional" look that bridges by, let's call it a "subconcious historical-sartorial association" , the strange in-between we have as a medicinal-technical craftsmen and suggests both the classical posh bespoke shoe-maker as well as the Latin-lobbing medicinal professional. In private I wear all kinds of hats and in the colder months paletots or similar, mostly double breasted, long coats (longer than the current "short coat/long pea coat" sizes) and I tend to ditch the tie for the formal cravat (again, a step towards antebellum 20th century) or the bow-tie. I also normally carry a cane, but that's a medical necessity and the choice was "House MD" or "Edwardian" so... But here's the interesting part: If I felt "costumed" in wearing this it *would be* a costume but since I know the how and why and feel both confident and apropriatly dressed while wearing this it is not *perceived* as a costume, just as a maybe ever so slightly overdressed bloke who nevertheless feels "normal". Confidence in dress and normalcy in behaviour enable anyone to subtly and passively oppose the forces of casualitation and all that anyone ever said about my more classical mode of dress was a compliment. Classical dress *has not only* stood the test of time but also *maintains* apropriateness in the current sartorial climate even if modified with individual idiosyncracies. I suppose that's what makes it *classical* . Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

@Teverell Год назад

I think that's why Raoul's vintage look seemed so costumey... because it was, it's not his style! For someone like yourself, or Vintagebursche (look up his channel, I think you'll appreciate it), or other members of the vintage community, it's not costume because it's your style and you know what you like and how to adapt things - and I bet you look amazing whether you're wearing true vintage pieces or more modern things in the style of the era you've chosen.

@themoderndandy713 Год назад

@@Teverell Excellent point! I'd say I'm somewhere in between Raphael and Vintageburche. I usually go for suits, neckties, and turndown collars, but I've also made pocket watches and dress hats a staple of my wardrobe, and regularly don dress canes, tails for more formal events like the opera, and even opera pumps with lounge suits. It's all a part of who I am. I believe the key to looking good in your clothes is to be genuine - Sven Raphael looks just as out-of-place in cargo shorts as James Dean does in formal morning dress. I even had a friend say of me at our game nights, "If you ever show up in casualwear, I'm calling the police." Some people recognize me as the tall guy in suits, or the guy in suits and hats. It's not all about dressing "appropriately" (which is usually code for pressuring you to needlessly conform outside of stuff like rock climbing), and moreso about dressing on the outside like how you are on the inside. I'd agree with this video that some of these things aren't classic style, but "vintage" is a better term than "costume." I've criticized the term before, as it seemingly alludes to cheapness. A costume is what you find at Party City! It's hardly ever cheap, though, and very rarely something you find on Amazon's Halloween section. "Period dress" is a somewhat better term, but that doesn't quite have the same zing to it that conformists want it to. Similar to classic menswear, vintage menswear is a subculture; it's just one that goes farther down the proverbial rabbit hole than classic does. Neither one is more "correct" than the other, if you ask me.

@themoderndandy713 Год назад

Also, greetings, Raoul! Fancy seeing you over here from the chap hub! I agree that despite wearing what some would consider costume, I've almost entirely received compliments. I can only think of two exceptions: one was a teenager in the mall making a "m'lady" joke who couldn't have been over fourteen, and the other was a sneer from a camo-ed up redneck. Considering I often receive several compliments per day on my wardrobe, two out of however many hundreds-to-possibly-thousands ain't bad! While the clothes may maketh the man, the man also maketh the clothes.

@RaoulKunz1 Год назад

@Teverell "I think that's why Raoul's vintage look seemed so costumey... because it was, it's not his style!" to quote my dear cat: "Ga?Ga?Ga?" I seem to remember making the exact *opposite* point, that's it's *not* costumey and not perceived as such, even by those who tend to consider everything older than Tees and Jeans "wired", if worn with a certain panache as well as an aura of normalcy. Take for example the bowler hat. Many immediately associate it with Chaplin or other comedy acts from the interbellum and consider it a "funny" hat... well except when it's a correct, *real* one worn perfectly normal and in style with the whole suit - not one person ever considered my obsession with the bowler "funny" or wired... but then they don't know that I own eight of them.... Maybe I should have specified "cheaper made-to-measure-suits" - that's still 400-600€ suits, just nothing so horribly expensive that it would drive completely insane ruining it and also more 70/30 wool/artificial fibre rather than e.g. 120 pure wool so they can be rather easily cleaned by me not necessarily requiring dry cleaning. I also might have misunderstood, it's late here...😅 Greetings ModernDandy! Capital to meet you here! I have to concur with you: even if they dress lazily or even abysmal, most people at least subconsciously "get" our styles and preferences and most react positive. I get a lot of compliments, even at work by customers and that's without jacket or hat and with an shoemaker's apron - actually that seems to be part of the beauty for some... it looks "so beautifully like in the olden days" to paraphrase an elderly lady. Oh and your question in Mr. Jones' "about me" feature was an intriguing one! Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

@masterkamen371 8 месяцев назад

@@themoderndandy713You're going to get the most criticism for any kind of classical wardrobe (even if it's just jeans and a casual dress shirt) earlier in your life, for example in school. Later on you can choose who you are friends with and get to know a lot more like-minded people. So I believe that's why you commonly get compliments and rarely bad comments.

Really terrific video - true manifesto for men’s style in the modern age. Every point completely spot on and Preston’s confident delivery makes the borderline pedantic subject seem more like accessible academia. Perhaps it’s time for men’s style to be the subject of serious study after all this time? This was a great encapsulation of the GG brand and I’m looking forward to the day SVS & esteemed company put out a book to stand on the shelf next to Alan Flusser and Bernhard Roetzel.

Classic Men's Style is archetypal. Archetypical in the sense that men who sport classic men's style get more respect and appreciation from others around them, and those they encounter in the community (as pointed in '101 Things That Change When You Dress Up'). People take a well-dressed man more serious when it comes to handling details, making good decisions, etc. It's also archetypal in terms of making the wearer more confident, not only because of the compliments and treatment they get from others but also in that taking the time to dress in classic men's style is a lot like making your bed first thing in the morning: it brings order to your day, and gives peace of mind. And this is across cultures, thus why I deem it archetypal.

ChatGPT AI response to "what does dressing like a gentleman mean?" "Dressing like a gentleman" typically refers to a style of dress that is polished, refined, and respectful of traditional menswear conventions. This often includes tailored suits, dress shirts, dress shoes, and accessories such as ties, pocket squares, and cufflinks. The focus is on creating a classic, timeless look that emphasizes quality materials, attention to detail, and an overall sense of sophistication. A gentleman's attire is typically well-fitted, clean, and neat, and is chosen with consideration for the occasion and setting. Additionally, a gentleman's attire is often paired with good grooming habits and good manners to complete the overall look and demeanor.

While I couldn't care less about whether I wear classic style, most of what I wear does fall into that category. It's what feel comforable wearing. These days, being retired, I rarely wear a tie, but I do wear a sportcoat with button-up shirt and either chinos or dress pants; I wear polished shoes or boots but never lace-up and always rubber soles, never leather. When I was working, I always wore a tie, even when it was not required or expected.

@ShortArmStrongArm Год назад

I walked into a couture store recently in my daily wear and I thought the well-dressed man was going to expire. I just needed a pair of custom fit shirts for going to town for good events clothes. My clothing was clean, well fitting, and not completely wore out; I guess it had been awhile since he seen suspenders on canvas pants and a fleece vest over a flannel shirt. He ended up falling in love with my suspenders made from harness leather.

As for Preston’s attire: I don’t know if I would put on a bow tie with a suit and not have a third piece (either odd or matching) to cover the waist. Something about seeing all that shirt in the midsection throws things off. It’s funny - I’m fine with it when it’s odd trousers and a jacket, but when it’s a suit, it feels like something’s missing. Personal bugaboo, I guess.

@phillipgallas Год назад

I respectfully counter the one caveat mentioned in the video, although I loved it entirely, as I always do with this channel! While I do agree that we should adapt the classic men's style to the contemporary times, I would argue that we should do the same toward values as well. After all, the way we dress largely conveys parts of our character and personality. They truly go hand in hand, as the shift in people's values and fashion over the last century can attest to it quite clearly I'd even go as far as to say that without proper values, attitude (and etiquette in some circumstances), there would be a severe mismatch between a more adult, mature and elegant attire and an obnoxious, inconsiderate, immodest or other adjectives that an individual can carry. Hence, I believe that values and classic men's style in tandem is what brings the significance and meaning to it all (what's more, bad attitude can influence the way most people see certain pieces of clothing) And when I say we should adapt 'vintage', 'classic' values, I mean it in a manner closely related to the way that the concepts of excellence in garments hold value to this day, and so we adapt them to the modern days Not all flamboyant and yet popular at the time pieces fit in today's world due to our evolution in understanding of fashion, and so do some values. We should not disregard what constituted men and women back then because of today's society trend of thought, nor should we overgeneralize past philosophies and values, because (such as in clothing) our perception of them today could bring some new light or insight to our current era that we haven't noticed or thought of yet simply because we didn't check them up in detail. I believe we should rather deliberately reflect upon what is it that made them of value, filter out what is truly inadequate and embrace what works, so that we can enrich and positively influence our current society All the while there are things such as hyper focus on class, willful ignorance in the face of injustice, restrain what people can do or think due to rigid societal structures, and segregation that should be left in the history books/videos. Strong willed character, proper ways with words when expressing oneself, being courteous, having an honorable way of conduct, ability to spot and point out the nonsense or deceit to avoid worse outcomes, etc. should be some examples of things we can all agree made men gentlemen Therefore I am positive that we as gentlemen should foster among our fellow men the admiration for and willingness to become more of an elegant and high valued man In terms of what could comprise such values, that would be up to debate as per the minor details, however I am confident that my argument laid our here could indicate a good starting point

As a topic of another video what newer fashion trends should be added to classic styling. I believe they've already talked about wearing blue jeans with sport jackets but I'd be interested in the channels views on other trends like fleece tops as an alternative to sweaters for casual classic wear. After all sweaters began as sportswear (hence why they're called sweat- ers) so fleece might be an option so long as it's the appropriate color and isn't covered in brand logos.

@canadafree2087 Год назад

Classic men's styles is often reserved for natural fabrics with only a bit of plastics entering in to it. Things like zippers should be limited to pants and wax cotton jackets, not sweaters, Fleece is best saved for casual modern looks and tasks such as hiking, hunting, skiing, etc. The crew neck sweater over a dress shirt is a relatively new trend and not that classy of one as it crushes the collar. A v-neck sweater is much more classical as it shows off the collar and tie just as a suit does. jeans are a new one as are double monk shoes. BTW "Fleece" itself is actually the wool once taken off the sheep, the plastic contraption came much, much later.

@silverjohn6037 Год назад

@@canadafree2087 Yes, fleece can refer to the sheared wool before it's cleaned and spun into wool yarn but I was using fleece in the modern context;). I'd argue that an antagonism against synthetic fibers came from the polyester's of the 70's that were stiff, didn't breath well and were made in some unfortunate colors (Anti-establish Mint Green for example;). Modern fleeces are soft and breathable and can be quite comfortable compared to knitted wool sweaters which, you'll have to admit, most people find rather scratchy. Fleece also seems to be available these days in some darker, more traditional blues and greens rather than the brighter neon colors of the 1980's. On the subject of zippers for upper torso wear, they are considered perfectly acceptable for bomber/leather jackets so we'll have to agree to disagree on that point. Also, an interesting bit of trivia is that a lot of the detachable collars on shirts in the white tie tradition in the 1800's and into the 1900s were made using nitro-cellulose, one of the early plastics, so synthetics have been around for quite a while.

@vlogsbyalejandro Год назад

@@silverjohn6037 On the subject of zippers for upper torso wear, I think you both agree with each other. If wax cotton jackets carry zippers and that's acceptable, then it makes sense for leather or bomber jackets that have zippers to be acceptable.

@Teverell Год назад

@@silverjohn6037 Even modern fleece fabric is polyester, or has a really high polyester content, though. So it's not going to breathe as much as a sweater made from natural fibres, and is more likely to look more dowdy and worn faster than a nice woollen sweater.

@silverjohn6037 Год назад

@@Teverell Served in the Canadian military and I used both modern fleece style synthetics and wool (as knitted sweaters and woven shirts). Modern polyester based fleece (as opposed to fabric) is just as breathable as wool and has the advantage of drying faster than wool once it gets wet (from sweat or rain). The main down side to fleece is that it's more vulnerable to heat so you have to be careful not to leave it too long in the clothes dryer and socks made of fleece style polyester tend to almost solidify at the heel when you wear them too often with boots and are carrying a rucksack as the abrasion creates enough heat to compress the loft of the fabric. As far as general wear wool is more likely to "pill" (get little nubs of fabric) than polyester if you machine wash. As for dye fastness this depends on the quality of the material. Good quality fleece seems to hold it's color better over time so long as it's monochromatic. Patterned polyester fleece with multiple colors definitely fades quickly but the same can be said of patterned wool even if you handwash it.

ChatGPT AI response to "what is timeless men's style?" Timeless men's style refers to a fashion approach that emphasizes classic and enduring clothing choices that don't go out of fashion quickly. Timeless men's style focuses on simple, versatile, and well-made pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of looks. Examples of timeless men's style clothing items include tailored suits, blazers, dress shoes, oxford shirts, chinos, and jeans in classic cuts and neutral colors. Accessories like watches, leather belts, and leather shoes can also be timeless staples in a man's wardrobe. The key is to invest in quality pieces that will last for years and can be worn in a variety of settings and occasions. Timeless men's style is about creating a versatile, classic look that is always in style, rather than following fleeting fashion trends.

Nice to see more of your gang beyond the big 3. The fellow with the round glasses is an absolute charmer. Please keep Glam Preston in the house unless he is up on stage. ;) I love seeing old pics where men wore classic style while hunting and fishing; and while the fish monger or butcher would trade the jacket for an apron, they often still wore a long sleeve dress shirt and tie under said apron.

Greetings, Gentleman’s Gazette team. I’ve found an interest in classic and formal style almost a year ago, and since then I have been modifying my way to dress and speak. However, I haven’t reached the level of formality I want to, and I found a question that may not only help me, but also potential future gentlemen: starting from dressing with very informal jeans and casual short-sleeve shirts, which should be the first “step” to follow (referring to what to buy first) if I don’t want or I can’t spend too much money? Should it be a good first suit? A pair of good shoes? Maybe only a good formal shirt? I appreciate the quality and time invested in the videos, and I hope the gentleman’s Gazette team may be able to help me. Regards

You asked “what is our definition of classic style”? I hate to admit the origins of it, but I often cite an old Levis Strauss slogan from the early 1980s……”quality never goes out of style”

I believe that classic style has been replaced by business casual, athletic wear, and even blue jeans, tee shirts and sneakers. I happen to prefer classic style--which I define as traditional Brooks Brothers and J. Pressclothes involving neckties and jackets--but find this less and less evident. This departure from classic style has probably been accompanied by sloppiness in speech, ethics, and just about everything else.

Ha! "Skolyx" is actually two words written, as often is the case in Swedish, together. "Sko" (shoe) and "lyx" (luxury). It is pronounced "sko" as in school, and "lyx" as in "lynx" (but without the n). Just to give a Swedish heads up! :)

Where I live, classic style is still often associated with formal events only. ever since I got into classic style, I get weird looks and a lot of dumb questions of "why you're in a suit today".

@jasonwilkie1369 Год назад

Hello. The first time I wore a suit just as classic style for going around town it felt a bit weird. Decided to wear a two piece suit to church, then keep wearing it the rest of the day. What was weird was while I was at the mall I really noticed that nobody was dressed like me. But I found out two things rather quickly. One, people are basically living their own lives, so they might give you a second glance, but that’s about it. Two, I found out from people talking to me that while nobody was dressed like me, they liked seeing someone dressed like me. I get the question “why are you dressed up?” “Are you going someplace special?” and I find a pleasant and confident attitude in my answer is usually the best response. Example are “I’m doing a suit day today.” “Am I going someplace special? Yes. Here.” “I decided to switch it up and do a dress-up Friday.”

ChatGPT AI response to "what is classic men's style?" Classic men's style typically refers to a timeless, conservative and elegant approach to dressing that emphasizes clean lines, traditional colors and patterns, and high-quality materials. It often includes tailored suits, dress shoes, button-down shirts, and accessories such as ties, belts, and watches. The key is to create a polished and sophisticated look that doesn't rely on trends or flashy details.

@ReticentSparrow Год назад

I must disagree with the notion that how one dresses is seperate from a way of thinking. Versatility. Intelligent Investment. Avoidance of extremes. To me, this style is an outward manifestation of internalized principles. This "middle way" even makes me think of Buddhism, even though it has no influence on this style. I believe I understand what this video is attempting to say, but I also feel it's contradicting points made from earlier videos like the "What is a Modern Gentleman?" This video also brings to mind a question: how does one honor the traditions of the past without merely venerating the ashes, to roughly paraphrase another RU-vid creator.
