Aging is something that inevitably happens to all of us, but for men, middle-age is exciting but also feared!
00:00 Introduction
When you really think about it, men should look forward to middle-age. We’ve learned lessons from our youth, we’re more secure at work, we’re more confident in our social situations, and we’re set up to enjoy life.
A gentleman knows that every stage in life has its significance and beauty, very few want to appear older than they actually are.
Aging is a common topic around the Gentleman’s Gazette, probably because we all age, and when it comes to clothing, there is the aspect of age appropriateness. Basically, all that refers to is styles and types of clothing that look particularly well on a person of a certain age.
Of course, the so-called rules aren’t intended to limit your spirits or creativity in any way. They’re merely a guideline to help you look your best.
Mistakes Middle-Aged Make That Make Them Look Old
01:46 Mistake #1: Behaving like times haven’t changed
04:06 Mistake #2: Gravitate towards very trendy haircuts
Of course, ideally, you talk to your barber and see what he recommends for you and your hair. In broader strokes, here are some concepts you might want to consider.
→ 07:02 1. Receding hairline? Focus on volume
→ 07:22 2. A "chopped" look will make your hair look denser
→ 07:31 3. It’s probably time to go with something like a buzz cut or a crew cut.
08:16 Mistake #3: Not Accepting your gray hair
09:33 Mistake #4: Ignoring your body hair
10:36 Mistake #5: Neglecting your skincare routine
General Skincare Tips:
→ 13:36 1. Drink a lot of water!
→ 12:44 2. Get enough sleep!
→ 13:15 Wear sunscreen, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and use a moisturizer daily.
13:31 Mistake #6: Wearing clothing as a uniform
15:43 Mistake #7: Wearing flashy things
17:09 Mistake #8: Wearing clunky comfort shoes
19:07 Mistake #9: Not embracing one’s age

My hairline is not receding. Its merely making a tactical retreat to a more defensible position.
Grass doesn't grow on a busy street
It's not so much that your hairline is receding - more a case of an advancing neck.
As I said in another response, only the greatest mountains have timberlines.
I knew a man who liked to describe his high forehead and bald head as a 'three-story intellect with a skylight'. He has a successful medical career that didn't make this claim seem pompous.
The theory I like best is that hair starts slipping off the top of your head and starts to grow out of your ears and nostrils since it's easier for it to come out from a lower position... if that's the case, I wonder what the tops of your toes look like! 😁
This video really strikes a chord. Turning fifty was a real turning point. I accepted that my hair is getting grayer and i will never have the sculpted body I want. I get teased about wearing tuck-in shirts at neighborhood get-togethers but I just feel dumpy in a t-shirt and flip-flops. Sometimes I wear a tie even when I work from home. Others think I am crazy but being well-dressed makes me feel better about myself and I have no plans to stop. Thanks for another quality video.
never say never
I respectfully disagree with you on the sculpted body part.
Unless you have a disability, you can totally achieve the body you want. You will have to be more careful about what you eat than when you were younger, and you might have to workout more intensely, but you can do it. I guess it depends on what you consider “sculpted”.
50 is the new 40, haven’t you heard?
I also disagree on the sculpted body part, but I think dressing nice at home is a trend that should have never gone away. Even if all we typically do is accept a package at the door, there have been instances I've been unexpectedly visited by city employees, neighbors, internet service technicians, land surveyors, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc, and wished I had presented myself more professionally. Conversely, I've visited my own neighbors spontaneously and come to the conclusion that most people in my area live like animals.
If you’re in a professional setting always look the part.
I myself would love to go back to the dress of late 50's and early 60's the SINATRA ERA. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LOOKING SHARP.
As a woman, I can't agree enough with the trimming of brows, nose and ears! I really don't mind if a man is bald or greying, but grooming is soooo important. Thanks for mentioning that.
I started going bald at 24, and earlier this year I made the decision to start shaving my head shiny bald, and it honestly made me look younger than having an obviously receding hairline
Not in this situation myself (for now at least) but that would be my strategy. You need to grab the bull by the horns.
Welcome to the club. I had to bid my hair farewell at 24, too. Now I can't picture myself with hair. Lol
aaaaaand the next one
I turned bald with 24 too.
My first invest was to buy a Wahl head shaver .
You're one of the wise men who have discovered that the cure for baldness is baldness!
My brother is bald as am I at 35. He lets the sides grow out and looks like he's 52 instead of 32. I just embrace it and shave. it looks great all shaved and even.
"It doesn't matter what you're wearing,
on Main Street or Savile Row.
It's what you wear from ear to ear,
and not from head to toe...
that ma-aah-ah-ters."
Been watching you confidently display fashions that I don't feel like I could ever pull off, and you look fantastic. It's the confidence that pulls it off. I've never noticed your hair.
The editing and the self deprecating humour is great!
Super hilarious😭
That helmet made me almost drop my shot of tequila with extreme laughter
@@ohiorichkidbeats agree
This video is magnificent! 😅
I agree! One of the best 😂
You're completely right about caution with hair dye. I work mostly with old people . The worst look for old men is with noticible wrinkling and hair died jet black.
Or an obvious toupee. My best friend in high school married a dark haired man; then years later, I ran into her at a restaurant and I couldn't figure out who the gorgeous man was that she was with. I thought she must have divorced her first husband and now she was with someone else, but no, her husband's hair had just turned gray. His undereye shadows were no longer obvious and his skin tone looked much brighter. Gray hair can make some men look much more attractive because it's kinder on their skin tone than dark hair.
That white turtleneck sweater on camel colored blazer is incredibly sharp.
Love the blazer but not a fan of the white turtleneck. At least for me.
@@dees9502 That's fair, but What color turtleneck would you pair with something like that?
Perhaps if you’re Carl Sagan
I believe it isn't a white turtleneck, it seems to be a cream color...i don't think a white turtleneck looks good with camel, the undertones would clash, the cream and camel, both have warm.undertones and compliment each other
@@CrystalRuizEnriquez It is indeed cream. Of course, the way the light reflects in the video can make it seem white, but it is cream / off white because it harmonizes better with the camel
The most important note is to accept the gray.
As a man in his 40s who is single, ladies have expressed a desired preference for the "silver fox" look. I lean into it as heavily as possible.
Changing my diet to healthy eating (veggies and meat, no sugar or processed food, which was my whole diet) helped my hairloss. My hair got thicker on top. Results take a while. So stick with it.
My hair was falling out when I was 14 and I was panicking up until I hit about 23 I stopped giving a care and I’ll tell you what, very little as fell out since then and I’m in my 50s now
Over the years I had people who were dogging me out, about my hair, lose most of theirs way past where mine was.
I have a receded hairline no bald spot
My advice to anybody is don’t panic
Eating meat doesn't make hair grow. If you were eating no nutritious food whatsoever, you were starving yourself. You're entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.
@@mrsj1417 Would you look at that. Another intolerant, rude, militant vegan. Shocking
What worse balding or going grey. My brothers went bald in their 20's but I'm greying in my late forties.
@@frankbob6664 I went grey in 30s. I love my grey hair. It’s gone so grey it’s blonde again.
Can't run away from aging, just accept it and age in grace and style.
My hair started thinning and I shaved my head. Best feeling in the world!
I thought the thumbnail meant “you can’t wear any more helmets!” 😆
THIS IS SPARTA!
lol
@@gentlemansgazette hello, may i ask why you don't post video of you anymore. I mean this comment for Sven
"I had a typical childhood. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we made meat helmets."
Dr Evil 😂
When I stopped smoking it made me look ten years younger.
Have you tried smoking a pipe (the pipe tobacco kind of pipe)? It will make you look even younger and promotes the discontinuation of cigarette smoking 👍
why did you start in the first place?
Truth
My brother stopped smoking, and immediately gained 15 KG in weight, his blood pressure went crazy (he was interned in a hospital for some days) and his hair turned gray-white in months... And he was just turning 40.... But the good thing is he gained overall, long-term good health. He will live longer, that's for sure.
Do the trick, be a smoker for ten monthas, then stop ... then come back ... and stop ... Immortality is there, my friend.
I'm 53 and I have the same haircut I had back when I was a hard charging US Army Infantryman, for no reasons other than familiarity and, well, I like it.
There's the familiarity and comfort aspect. When you get "our" age (almost 56), you dress for comfort - especially May-September - in the deep south. Which means loose t-shirt, shorts, and crocs. Workplace is jeans/khakis with golf shirt and boots. It's almost unbearable for me to wear a long sleeve shirt now, let alone a coat.
I hear you brother! I think military/former military folk can carry the look because we always carried the look! Peace!
Me too...bald! Shaved then, naturally bald now
4 on top, 1 on the side
Learning your actual shoe size is important. I thought dress shoes were inherently painful till I figured out I had wide a width in my 30's. The shoe measuring tool even would say I had standard width, but at around my toes I'm actually a W2 width. Once I made the switch to wide width shoes, dress shoes became fun and comfortable.
I can literally watch the videos of this channel all day long. The contents are full of “professional” elegance. This is definitely the channel that a real man should subscribe to. Great job and keep up the good work!
Define real man.
i agree...Sven is just so elegant
I find that too many men perceive dress shoes as being uncomfortable. I have a dozen pair of dress shoes and I can spend all day in any of them. I'm 60 and can walk miles in any shoes I own.
I find that most men of some moderate means nearly faint at spending a couple of hundred dollars on some proper dress shoes yet willingly spend the same on age inappropriate high top sneakers. Ecco or Allen Edmonds for me...period.
@@mikecoleman4795 I told a fellow at work that I paid close to $500 for a pair of dress shoes (AE Hopkinsons) that would likely last me the rest of my life, and he said he was fine with buying some $50 Walmart shoes and just getting a new pair every year. This was cheaper, in his mind. I wanted to hand him a multiplication table.
@@mikecoleman4795 lol, you call sneakers age inappropriate(??), yet you brag about buying Ecco shoes, which is the grown up version of wearing shoe braces.
Awareness is worth its weight in gold.
@@janerkenbrack3373 well, if his garbage $50 shoes last only a year, he must be wearing them almost daily.
If you wore your $500 shoes almost daily, they would *not* last you a lifetime... you're simply lying if you make that claim.
I don't get why people feel the need to justify why they spend a little or a lot, just wear what you like.
@@user-iu1ru1qz7u I said above that I have a dozen pair of shoes. Just a normal rotation will keep most of them free from resoling for a very long time. So far, I've needed only new heel lifts on two pair. I never made the claim you suggested, and it says so above.
And the leather in the better pair can be moisturized and polished to the point of a keeping them and wearing them for a lifetime. And of course the appearance between the two is stark. Of course that may not matter to my former workmate, but it matters to me.
But the replacement every year was his idea. I can't say how often he wore them, but I got the impression that it was occasionally rather than often. Could they last him longer? Sure, shoe trees and regular care could prolong the life some, but not indefinitely. Poor quality corrected grain leather does not absorb lotions and polishes. The linings and insole deteriorate. This kind of shoe will need to be tossed and replaced. Annual replacement is not all that uncommon. And resoling is not an option on those shoes either. At that price point they are certainly cemented together, a process that makes them unrepairable. And the soles are blown plastic, which often cracks when people walk in them in cold weather. And consider the lack of support and the number that does on your feet. I wouldn't walk all day in a pair of those.
The idea of buying quality footwear and taking care of them is far less expensive over the long haul as I see it. And in the end I have some very nice shoes that look very good. Sure, where whatever you like, but I think life is too short to wear cheap shoes.
What do you think is the biggest mistake that makes middle-aged men look older? Again, we are all for embracing ones age, and older is not worse but it can make you look wiser. But a lot of men want to look younger, not older. The way we dress and appear can definitely change our perceived age considerably...
If middle-aged men do not shave properly...
Posture. I see older guys slouching, and nothing makes you look older than slouching. Stand up straight please.
Men in their 40s still dressing in the same street-/scene clothing they dressed in when they were in their late teens. Or even worse, they wanted to dress in in their late teens but couldn't afford to. Mistaking cost for class.
Middle aged men look older if they don't press their suits. You need to iron your shirts as well, but crumpled suits don't give off a youthful image for anyone over 40.
Dyed hair. Jet black hair on a fifty year old man looks terrible.
My brothers and I wore turtleneck sweaters under a sport coat in the 1970's...and that's exactly where that look ended for me!
Not to forget: dyed hair can look awful in certain light, specially sunlight, as dark colours change to a blunt, unnatural brown.
I agree. I look back at pictures from years ago and cringe at the terrible dye job. I said F it and leave it gray
Agreed
Dyed hair is bad, but I'm surprised this video didn't mention toupees or weaves. I figure if the likes of a moneybags like Elton John can't get a decent syrup there's no hope for us mortals. Don't get me started on those things they glue to your scalp that look like upcycled debris from the shower drain. A number 1 cut saves on barber's fees, shampoo and embarrassment from wind induced comb over failures. If it's good enough for Jean Luc, it's good enough for me.
@@davidbgreensmith Pray tell, what is a "decent syrup "? You lost me there.
@@maryerb6062 a hair piece - syrup of fig = wig.
Raphael loves showing off his junk these days
I beg your pardon, but you have the editors to thank for that.
😋
Hey, if you've got it flaunt it ! LOL.
start worrying when you see Raphael's Onlyfans link.
I like how this guy talks. Very relaxed & not trying to be funny.
You guys have been nailing the editing recently.
I have absolutely zero interest in fashion, etc. but enjoy your channel and videos because you're obviously passionate about what you're doing.
Nice clothing tips, here’s a music tip for you: the drumming brushes has too many accents and too repetitive which distracts from the visuals and commentary. Less repetition in music gives the effect of not interrupting the natural accents of the rhythm in speech.
Man I absolutely love the content on this channel. I like how he has enough confidence to have a laugh at himself, all while not being self deprecating. I love these videos
I'm 65 so I'm way older than "middle aged".
What got me through "middle aged" - young adulthood for that matter and continues today are motorcycles....European motorcycles to be specific.
Nortons, Beezas, Beemers, Guzzis etc.
The best fashion accessories for me today are a pair of well built leathers, matched with boots, helmet and gloves and all accessorize correctly with my bright red Ducati.
Also own one in yellow and white which too accessorize with my ensemble without having to think much about it.
I highly recommend this anti aging strategy!
Especially for all you "middle aged" kids out there.
I can't be a cowboy anymore lol 😂 😆 🤣 love your humor.
You can always be a 🤠
@@dbabakh8911 I dress exactly like a cowboy, both on and off work. Hat, bandana, vest, and boots. People gravitate to me and it's very easy to approach others because they are already smiling when they see me. I pinch my brim and say "Howdy!" Love from Texas.
@@dabeln1 Right on. If you are bold enough and comfortable enough to have your own look that isn't necessarily the trend of the day people will have a certain respect for that. It portrays confidence.
I wear a good Stetson cowboy style hat with casual clothes that are not “cowboy”. I do not wear with blue jeans, work jackets or cowboy boots.
Recently attended a funeral and realized the black suit I was wearing was one of the first suits I bought after college (1994). Definitely got my money’s worth on that purchase and kinda proud that at 52 I’m still fitting into a suit from my mid 20’s. Luckily it’s a classic cut business suit so no embarrassing shoulder pads or too wide/ too narrow lapels.
Yes, I can appreciate this. I have a nice classic Hart Shaffner & Marx gray plaid suit bought about 1982 that still fits nicely, and people are amazed when I mention how old it is. One person said suits of that brand 'last forever'.
I am subscribed to this channel since so many years. Its literally life saving and so cool. My sons are on it now. Dressing is so life defining. Really a big RESPEKT for this outstanding work you are doing. You are a true benefit to this world.
Love the new comedy twist you've been doing.
I can’t wait to use this advice thirty years from now.
@Selim Mašić lol no, you could say I’m going on 17
I’m ageing gracefully (48) and actually looked forward to greying hair. Engaging life well.
Me too. Pierce Brosnan has shown how it can be done!
I started to grey at 26, not fun, but whatever. 50 now
Fasting. I notice an improvement in my skin when I am faithful to my regimen, not to mention other aspects of general well-being. It hasn't brought my hair back, but that's a lot to ask.
You paired that helmet with your blazer and turtleneck surprisingly well.
I love you enough to tell you the English is “ surprisingly well.” We look good, we do well. Good job! Well done!
I just shave my head. As they say the problem with going bald isn't that you don't grow hair; it's that you grow SOME hair.
Thinning hair and receding hairline is FAR from the worst thing that can happen to a man. My father-in-law (late-50s) insists on maintaining an 80's hair band mullet (now entirely gray) despite the fact that the bands have been defunct for decades and their members are dying at a significant rate. That coupled with his sleeveless shirts and baggy cargo pants is a painful sight.
90's print ties.... almost classic in and of itself, wow. Brings back child memories.
I had to stop. This is the most ageist guide I have seen. It is OK for us older men to be seen and express ourselves!
As someone who is still very young (almost 18) this video bothered me as well. This video is basically telling middle aged men to blend in and act their age whilst also not showing their age. It should be seen as normal for men at any age to express ourselves, and not to hide who we are.
As soon as my hair started receding I shaved everything. It even makes me look younger.
My dad spent $10K for hair plugs, the plugs looked bad, he got a big scar on the back of his head, and of course he continued to bald. I just cut my hair really low and then started shaving my head. Better to be bald than balding.
Get bosley
You don't lose the hair that is implanted in a hair transplant, and they don't do the big scar anymore.
@@toomanymarys7355 Yes you do. It doesn't last forever

I spent 10K on buttplugs :)
Great video - I'm 56 with thinning hair. I appreciate the encouragement your video provides in embracing your age with a matching elegant style. Keep up the good work!
This is an incredible episode - such confidence! Well done.
Being a middle-aged MAN is the mos amazing thing that's ever happened to me.
Bruce Jenner disagrees
If you're good looking, rich and healthy.
@@johnd4348 LOL. I'd say he/she is a little beyond middle-aged. But, okay.
@@ChrisPage68 Yup.
Raphael you do so well with softer materials like cashmere, tweed and flannel instead of shiny sleek. You also pull off medium vibrant to soft lighther colour shades so well instead of plain very dark ones.
Found Raphael's discussion of the personal, professional and social rewards of middle age to be very insightful, and encouraging. Very nice to hear a comprehensive, thoughtful perspective on that experience.
I love that RUclips recommended this video to me when it was literally 100 degrees outside today. I'm never wearing any of this stuff. Great video though!
Having a well fitting suit is so important for formal occasions. Since most ppl don't wear suits everyday anymore alot of guys I see st weddings and what not have of the rack suits that haven't been altered to their body type and they look awful.i get compliments at these occasions for looking good in a suit and I know its only bc most guys there have unaltered while mine is custom fitted. So simple and yet so many guys don't realize how much a difference it makes.
Agreed. I buy brand name suits at thrift stores for usually under $20 and take them to get altered. My seamstress charges $45 to alter the pants and jacket. It's worth every penny. I often get compliments on the look - everybody thinks I spent thousands when in fact I have less than $65 invested. I also get my shirts trimmed ($10 each) so no more "muffin man" look at the waistline. Again, worth every penny.
I never let my age bother me. I turned 50 this year and while my mind says I'm 25 still, my body not so much. You can't stop the clock, wish we could but time stands still for no one.
If you ever skated in the past, buy another skateboard. It’s a great feeling, low impact exercise you may have forgot about. I see why the cranberry juice guy skated to work everyday.
@@djmaxxhtx Will do, thanks.
@@montanamountainmen6104 No problem. Land Yachtz longboard for me. Love it.
@@djmaxxhtx Unless you impact the ground falling off.
If you want be as supple and fit as a teenager, take up Hatha Yoga, it'll take years off you without any strain. And don't let the outdated idea Yoga is 'weird' because it's foreign stop you . Lots of high profile boxers, sportsmen, martial arts practitioners and actors are into it to achieve peak finesse with no effort . You'll find it on the net. Luck to you.
I really enjoy the added humor you’re adding to your videos. Especially liked way Preston pretended he was crying. Remind me of many of the silent movies of the past.
I am certainly middle aged at 55 years of age and I have to say this is perhaps one of your most important videos. Those of us lucky enough to have hair have made the mistake of having too young haircuts....I certainly have. Although I do dress well there is ALWAYS room for new ideas and advice. Well done Sven. Happy New Year.
This was a funny, yet informative video!
I just love this new style of editing
The engaging approach really work for the subject matter-very well done! 👍🏻
Appreciate your style, your advice and your outlook in life.
Kudos for the Le Samourai shoutout. I highly recommend making a Le Samourai or Alain Delon style analysis/guide video.
I haven't watched the video but I know it's gonna be good.
I have recently foundthis channel and am in lovewith it. Thank you!
Brilliant analysis and a big Thank You!
This video is great. It definitely helps men to know how to feel better about themselves regardless of age. There seems to be this false believe that to dress well you have to have alot of money; this is simply not true. Like the old saying goes, knowledge is power; all you need is the knowledge of how to dress, and where to purchase quality clothing for a reasonable price. I buy most of my clothes from eBay, or other second hand stores, for a fraction of the price of new. And I have learned a ton about dressing, and menswear, from Gentleman's Gazette.
Good video. I'm in my early middle age and apparently have been making lots of mistakes.
All excellent advice. Handling aging with grace and dressing appropriately makes a person significantly more attractive!
Started the video for advice. Halfway through I'm in a state of relaxation. Great video! Great voice.
Two points as a middle age man, 60 next anniversary. 1, no turtle neck sweaters for me, I like the look but i find that they drag if i am not very recently close shaven. 2, do not wear sunscreen ... UV-A has significant health giving properties, and UV-B works with Vit D to boost your immune system ... no significat UV-C gets through the atmosphere.
Ive hear rumors of men who can grow beards. Sounds like crazytalk.
Brilliant! Loved it. Thumbs up.
6:34 Oh, Herr Schneider had me there for a second! (Greetings from Germany)
7:33 five stars🌟 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 ⭐!!!
Yes 😃 many of us ladies find a bald head or buzz cut very clean, confident and handsome!!! 🏆
7:15 - Polish blogger and owner of a classic men's clothing shop Roman Zaczkiewicz
as a barber with 30 years experience & ill tell u, u are dead on the money with ur hairstyle advice. way to many guys think leaving the top long when it starts to thin hides their thinning hair, when in all actuality it only exaggerates it & makes u look ridiculous. good rule of thumb is the thinner ur hair gets, the shorter u should go ...& those lazer lights... yeah... thats a sad, & probably expensive, joke that does nothing but seperate desperate men from their hard earned cash. thanx for the video, always enjoy em!
Thank you for these sensible, helpful videos.
#9 Embracing your age should be #1. I had turned 60 in October 2020 and the keyway not to look your age is to have an open mind and a good health regimen.
Sorry keeping my beard dyed with my complexion I need the contrast and a gray beard with brown eyebrows just looks weird . I don’t care what others think I like it and that is what matters most . Great tips and ideas 👍🏻👍🏻.
Very good. Upbeat and interesting stuff. Thanks.
Great video with information and humor, I enjoyed it.
Actually, I'm 50, and I never feared losing my hair. I come from a family of bald men - my father, my grandfather, my uncle, my brother, all started losing their hair pretty young, so I never gave it too much thought, you can't win over genetics I guess. So when my hair started thinning, I went for a fully shaved head and a beard (which I keep about 6-8 mm long). I think it's a great look for men, and it can even make you look younger - in my case, even if some white hair started slowly creeping upon my beard these days, people often think I'm in my early 40s instead of being 50.
Preston needs to get that modelling contract already
Grey hair and/or beard stubble looks amazing!
Brilliant video, well done! Subscribed!
Wow, you really know some skincare basics. 10 years ago, only few women knew something about that and today even men are informed.
I'm 15, what am I even doing here? XD
Informative and with humour. Enjoyable video.
Thanks! Great video and information
Dress however you want at any age. I love when older people dye their hair, weird flashy things and try weird fashion. It inspires me to do so. If you have the confidence, you can rock ANYTHING. Even your birthday suit, the best suit of all.
@@salazam older folks never had the chance to wear different kinds of things without facing harsh social stigma. I don't really find your joke funny, sorry
Richard Gere has the best older man look ever. Imo
Agree! He was like 45 years old in pretty woman
Sven Raphael: another great video. I look forward to more and more!
Thanks for the tips!
How about a video about how to fit into your tailored clothes after gaining 20 Covid pounds? Lol.
100% agree. I'm sure a lot of men are facing this issue. Slim fit is definitely a little snug these days!
@@fdw1234 normal people: Can't wear old clothes, because they gained weight in quarantine
Me: laughs in loose fit pants
@@ocean7849 I lost weight too.
@@ChrisPage68 actually my comment was playing at my pants in general being big/having a loose fit, thus evenif I gained weight they would still fit me
Calories in - calories out. That'll help you fit into clothes you're too big for now. Helped me get a whole new wardrobe. I haven't weighed this much(165) since I was a preteen.
I enjoy the acting outtakes particularly by Preston. You have comedy in you.
So ein tolles Video mal wieder. Toller subtiler Humor. Danke für deine Arbeit.
Well done. Thank you, Sir
We agree. Amazing editing...awesome use of stock photos to make the points
12:21 Wow!!! Could you three look any more handsome? Awesome video of you three. 👌
@20:34 I would just bring the trouser-length down an inch to avoid the 'high-water' look (which, ironically, is in style with many of the current younger generation). Especially with trousers with a fuller cut. And when wearing Chelsea-boots (love yours, btw), a slightly more tapered lower legged pair of trousers (or jeans) always looks better.
Glad you made it out of Stalag 13, LeBeau. Seriously though, good tips. Enjoy the channel.
(The snarky comment is a Hogan's Heroes reference, for those who thought I meant something else.)
Can you do a video about closet organization? How about what types of hangers and ways to organize your clothes?
Hahahaaha, When I saw Sven on the beginning. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello! I have a question - how good in terms of durability and overall functionality is 100% cashmere on a sports jacket/blazer? Is it durable enough to be worn multiple times a week?
Thank you in advance!
Wear it and enjoy it! Don’t dry clean it too frequently
Cashmere and specifically camel hair are softer fibers. Any wardrobe will benefit from rotation and not wearing the same thing day in, day out. That being said if all else is equal, camel hair with wear our faster than cashmere, which wears out faster than tweed. Wool is generally a bit more durable, but it all depends on the weave, the weight, the quality of the fiber etc. A low quality cashmere blazer will pill much more quickly than a higher end one...
Holy smokes, this is a brilliant video. So much great information. Also, no judgement, so positive. Thank you.
The fact I completely shave my head because of MPB, started to research proper shaving, then shaving with vintage implements, then buying & wearing vintage, is what brought me to this channel in the first place.
Or to put it another way, my baldness lead me here.
