Most of us have an idea of what denim is but not many people know of where it comes from or why it was created. It actually has a very interesting origin but down by definition, it is a sturdy cotton twill fabric, typically blue, used for jeans, overalls, and other items of clothing.
How is denim created?
First, cotton is harvested and then the seeds are separated from the fiber. Then the cotton fiber's spun into yarn, the yarn is then dyed to a specific color and then that yarn is then woven into denim. Denim can be processed in a few different ways; one unique way is raw denim. Now, what is raw denim? Well, it's actually denim that has not been washed after it's been dyed. Now, the color might be more rich than any other washed denim, however, the fabric will almost certainly let out extra dye when washed or agitated. Another popular category of denim will be selvage denim. What is salvaged denim, you might be asking? The term selvage refers to the edge of the fabric after it leaves the loom. Now, this edge is created by continuously passing the weft back and forth through the warp. Fun fact, it actually takes about three whole yards of selvage denim to create one pair of jeans. Now, the fabric is edged against itself, therefore, making it more durable as it will not unravel. Now, it's not uncommon to see different components within the denim creation within different brands.
How do you know what to look for when shopping and what style works best for
you?
Understanding where you fit within the broad spectrum of body types will help you better understand what to shop for. There are typically three main body types that most men will fall into, keep an eye, not everybody is going to fit squarely into just one body type. Many people will find that they have components of many of these different categories.
The first category we're going to look at is the ectomorph. This is also known as Cerebrotonic. Now, this individual is very lean with narrow chest and shoulders. It typically have very low body fat and maybe have a more difficult time putting on size.
Second major category we're going to look at is the mesomorph, also known as Somatotonic. This individual usually appears muscular and appears quite strong and usually will not have a major amount of body fat on them.
The last major category we're going to look at is the Endomorph, also known as a Viscerotonic. Now, these individuals usually have narrow shoulders and carry a little bit more body fat.
Paying attention to our overall body features, bone structure, and how easily it is for you to put on size and muscle will help you understand where you fit within the broad spectrum of body fit.
What style of denim should I actually be buying?
Ectomorphs, for example, have a much simpler time wearing slim, skinny, or even a more modern spray on style than people of other body types. The more endomorphic individual usually finds that a regular or relaxed fit would fit better. A straight fit might also work as long as it's not uncomfortable on the hips and seat. Mesomorphic individuals have a little bit more wiggle room in terms of what they can choose for denim styles. Now for these individuals, muscle size and their waistline will help determine what styles they should or should not be wearing.
What color should you be getting?
One of the most popular color options will be a dark wash or an indigo. This color is very deep, offers great versatility, and always looks great with a sport coat or a sweater. Now, be aware, the dye is quite rich and can transfer on to other fabrics so color setting is very important.
The next popular color choice you should consider is a medium washed denim. This is a great year-round choice, you can easily pair this with sneakers, boots, a polo or even a button-up shirt.
The next popular color choice you should consider is a nice light wash denim. Now, this particular color is usually going to look best in the summer and overall, warm months. This color also tends to look a little bit more casual than its darker counterpoints.
That gin and tonic reference tho 🤣
Nice video, as usual.
I cracked up too😅😅
I laughed
I laughed waaay too hard
Snuck in that Gin and tonic reference! Haha. Loved seeing all 3 of you guys walking together.
Uniqlo slim stretch selvage. Great jeans for $50 (or less on sale).
Thank you for informative content. Happy New year! All the best to both the hosts and viewers of Gentleman's Gazzete.
i love this channel, every info they give is amazing
There's so much more to say on this topic. Please address the various "cuts" and styling, I'm really into "Boot Cut" jeans at the moment and choose a classic dark colour to match my leather boots and tight fitting long sleeve jumper - it's a great look for me.
I really like & appreciate the history and word origins of these garments, thank you gents!!
Yes! That is a real plus!
Me too and why people wore them.
Kyles knowledge from so many years of mens wear retail is a great benefit to the channel! Iearn so much from his videos.
Killing it it with the camouflage loafers.
Nice presentation. Ralph Lauren RRL Jeans are my favorite.
Mesomorph here - I find that Boggi jeans work extremely well for me. They have a bit of spandex in them, and a straight cut, plus a wide range of colors
I perfer Levi and Wrangler. I just got some wrangler retros so we'll see how they last. Slim straight fit is what i wear but i perfer the western fit ones. Im not a boot cut guy but i wear boots so these wrangler still fit over ariat cowboy boots with ease.
I’ve always had large thighs (cycling) and found that I needed to go up about 2-3 inches in the waist to get jeans to fit. If anyone else has a build like this I highly recommend madewell in the athletic cut (which basically means wide cut)
How long before they rip in the crotch
Jeans in the wardrobe is a must for most casual and also hard working people fascinating video as always! Saving up for Chinos but for now Jeans are doable.
For your chinos, you might want to take a look at Old Navy they have some really nice ones and they're not a lot of money
I think Uniqlo is one of good options in the lower price range.
Can you do a video on Tommy Hilfiger, Brooks Brothers, Abercrombie and Fitch and united colors of Benetton
Will Armstrong especially Abercrombie and Fitch, and Tommy Hilfiger
Every so often I see the notifications and rush to the video... Not disappointed at all!
Can you guys review Make Your Own Jeans products in a video? They make jeans, shirts, sport jackets, and other items. They are only $70 for 3% lycra jeans. I used to buy Express jeans for $50. I now purchase my jeans at Make Your Own Jeans, because I am extremely thin and even the Express skinny jeans look proportionally large on me. You just need to account for the stretch when you give your measurements, and it could take a few tries. My only complaint is the stitching is uneven in areas.
Awesome vid, Kyle! You’re so insightful. Especially appreciate the brand overview.
I like the new gent here. I think he mixes classic and modern style well.
Thank you for the body type information, very nice. Great video Kyle
I got a pair of Levi 501's for Christmas and got myself a nice casual black belt. Feels like I'm wearing blankets on my legs.
Hey Chaps- could you look at clothing made by Lancashire Pike? They make old-school Ventile clothing, and have one piece in particular that's based on a piece worn by Kirk Douglas in The Heroes of Telemark- it'd be great to hear your take. Wonderful information as always, and have a very happy New Year!
I've just noticed on the levis website they do a odd numbered waists as well. I've never been to a sore that stocks them. I just buy mine at a supermarket now.
I am looking for jeans like the Levis 501 used to be years ago. thicker material but non the less clean look. Today the material is much thinner. Any ideas?
Bravestar selvedge, I have four pair love them
Do you have a video on "rise"? I have a big waist and skinny hips. If I buy to fit my waist, the pants will undoubtedly fall to my hips and be very loose. Deciding what to buy is always a tossup!
Suspenders were invented for your body type! You can work them into your wardrobe and they can be easily hidden by layering jackets and sweaters over them.
@@ajm935 Thanks! I find the button style works best. The clips on even the most expensive ones are still the same cheap hardware that loses its grip!
@@ajm935 I have this body type and find that braces are the only solution. Agree with Neil that clip ons very easily lose their grip. I really must get round to sewing on some buttons! I frequently wear a waistcoat to cover them. I will be travelling to India next year and will get a tailor to make me some high rise jeans without the belt loops.
Nice informative video, really needed this cuz I need to buy jeans now.
sven is a zenomorph I knew it ,great video
I'm calling Ripley
Helpful video. Thanks for posting.
LL Bean jeans are on the low end and made well with a good amount of fit choices, they are the only jeans I buy now thought others may want to give them a try
Very well explained, Thanks
Great video!!
Enjoyable as always......happy New Year 2020.......
Dark blue Levi 501 or if your a little bit plump Levi 512 can not be beaten and will make most men very happy, if they want Jean's. Levi 527 are great if you want a slight boot cut. I have been wearing these all my life. I think I know what I am talking about. Lee Jean's can be good too
Nice work as always Kyle!
Believe it or not American Eagle us some really good jeans. I need 28-28 jeans and they are one of the few who make them at that size. Plus they have that stretch added to them so I love them it’s like wearing sweatpants
Kyle is such a great addition to the team.
Sorry i totally disagree
I'm from Australia I found a Brand call 1970 Stretch Jeans and they so comfortable to wear.
Stretch Denim works for me with a tapered leg and prefer a dark wash because they look smarter.
andrew kelly Same
At 6'2 and 148 lbs yet also having a muscular body, I recently realized my whole life I've been wearing jeans that are WAY too loose. Relaxed fit size 32 when I have a waist of 30 and rather trim legs. I've only last week upgraded my chinos to slim fit size 30 and the difference they make in my frame is absolutely astounding. While jeans will be a bit more tricky (given the rough fabric I don't want it too restrictive!), I'm hopeful I can find them from a retailer who does slim men's jeans well. Thanks for showing me what I always suspected but never did anything about!
Ya cant have a muscular body if your 6'2 and 148lbs tho
Happy New Year!
Very informative video. You should try pajama jeans. I've been wearing them for years and no one has said a word! I wear them to school, to the office, church, parties, church parties, graduations, dinners, fund raisers, amusement parks, funerals. No one ever said a thing. Eventually I started wearing sweatpants, but I got a few dirty looks, and yoga pants are too controversial. Great vid, I'll have to give denim another try.
You mean Dad Jeans!
Never seen one of your videos. Did good my dude.
This man just called $100-200 mid range price. I can’t imagine spending that much on casual trousers
I wouldn't mind paying that much for them if I knew that I would be wearing them quite frequently.
try it, it will change your life
Jeans production isn't sustainable and eco-friendly. According to various sources, dyeing denim takes like 3000-4000 liters of water for just one pair of jeans. Better invest in quality than fast fashion or overpriced, trendy brand names. Or buy second-hand.
Bro if you’re on this channel you should know that cheap clothes are unsustainable and short-lived. It’s literally just a thing we consider when buying clothes, we want to be able to buy more and nicer stuff later. Get a grip on reality.
Stay within your economics don’t go crazy with the credit card there are lots of better quality vintage brands available. Thrifted and vintage is probably the most eco friendly option. That said I would definitely go with the cheapest option for outdoor work or nature hiking.
Great video! I can see Kyle is getting better and better in his presentation!
He’s the token Black of the bunch he’s got zero presentation skills, and quite frankly he’s there for one reason to box tick
I love the Camo Loafers!! Where did you get them?
They are Salvatore Ferrargamo by the looks of them.
Never mind, I believe they are Gucci.
Rory Monaghan Thanks 😊
Very informative. Thank you.
Meine Oberschenkel sind sehr muskulös wen ich eine hose finde in due meine Oberschenkel passen ist sie an meiner Hüfte viel zu locker und wenn ich einen Gürtel benutzt entstehen falten welche nicht gerade gut aussehen was soll ich tun ich bitte um Hilfe
As usual really informative! Thanks
Could you share thoughts on hiut denims?
Enjoy the video but I think jeans have a shelf life (no pun intended). I’m almost 38 and am overweight can’t see a guy shaped like me in they’re 40s to 50s wearing jeans but I could be wrong, and after seeing this video tempted you try out my jeans from years ago.
Don't let that stop you, just make sure they fit you go on about your business
Nice video on jeans!
I get my jeans from a local chain that's very similar to GAP but cheaper (since they're unbranded). they last me for 3 years at most, and after 3 years they just give in and rip right at the middle seam (happened to me at work 4 months ago, very embarrassing XD). I think that's a pretty good life spam, given the price and the fact that I wear the same pair of pants for 5 days straight before tossing them into the dirty pile (unless they get stained before 5 days have passed), and I work at a semi-physical job that requires frequent heavy lifting (I use my legs as a leverage when lifting heavy and light stuff. never use your back for heavy lifting, it will dedstroy it).
Great Video again ❤️❤️❤️
I hate being short but also super slight. I struggle to gain weight other than managing a little Buddha belly if I decide I’m going to pig out for a week.
Body type fitting tends to fall into these 3 categories and rarely considers bodies that are not typical of one of these, despite most people being a mix.
Man you rock the camo loafers bro.👍
9:20 I'd love to see some comparison or examples on what you get the more you pay. I'm asking as sometimes when I compare items of varying price points I can't see any differences what so ever. E.G. I compared two different pair of socks once and after comparing how they looked, what they were made of etc. the only differences I could see was the packaging and the price (one pair was about 2-3x more than the other).
Since when are Diesel Jeans better and more expensive than Levi's?
Love the green flannel jacket! Who made it, if I may ask?
Preston where can we hear you sing id love to check out some of your live performances
If you actually wear jeans for work
Baggy jeans with shagged ( cut off hems) are preferred for safety. IE a timber faller clear cutting an old growth redwood stand 2000 years old may get caught in slash. The unhemmed jeans will rip instead of causing a fall.
Conversely, western riders aka cowboys, punchers and buckaroos (Texas, Arizona and the high plains respectively) wear tight jeans to prevent chafing from the saddle.
Very good review👍
Great job !
Did I miss something or were endomorphic fits not addressed?
Stephen Pruszenski it was there but went right after the Ectomorphs and was incredibly short . As a classic muscular endomorph it’s always the same answer classic and relaxed fits 🤔🤔😖😖. Unfortunately it’s the era of the skinny soy boy and there is not many clothing options for us .
Thank you Kyle for another informative video from the Gentleman’s Gazette. - Jed 🤠
Can somebody give me advice on the Italian made jeans brand Sartoria Tramarossa, are they good and worth the price?
Thank you.
Great presenter and content.
The theme of Japanese denim is not disclosed at all. "Big John", "Iron Heart", "Samurai Jeans" and many many others...
Дмитрий Голосов Yes, the best denim/jeans today for the most part are being made in Japan.
My husband is on the shorter side - 5'6" - and is slim. He has the hardest time purchasing jeans that fit his waist as well as being the correct length. He's found a brand that meets his needs after searching around - even online it's hard to find a good fit for him.
That being said, he's found that even though the jeans will have the same tag, size, style and lot number on them, not all will fit properly! He has to try on each pair to make sure that they fit. That should be a caveat to anyone buying a number of jeans at one time. Try every pair on!!
garmtpug So what’s the name of the brand?
@@eyeheartsushi2212 It is Lee - Regular Fit. They don't carry them in most stores, so he had to special order them from the store. The waist is 29".
Mid rise with a tapered leg fits me best
Awesome and informative...
Why no Jacob Cohen?
Diesel pants from the 2000s are the greatest
Conke Diesel is a great quality brand for jeans
Customers who bought these jeans also bought gin and tonic.
I stopped wearing jeans and now wear mostly chinos, for me they are the perfect mix between casual and business attire. Nonetheless I enjoyed the video !
Fabian Weber Same!
Yep, same
I liked the Gin and Tonic joke a lot. Thanks for the laugh. The video is well made and very informative as always. My only complaint is, I can not agree on "you get what you pay for" when it comes to denim. While there are really poorly made very cheap pants, I never really experienced any difference in terms of quality from medium to high end denim. My Levis, Nudies or even quite inexpensive Denim by C&A are just as durable as my higher end Denim. Some Designer brands sell very expensive pants, without any benefits over much cheaper counterparts .
CMB2310 Agreed.
Is it possible to alter a quilted jacket? A bit random but I really need to know.
Anything is possible but it would look bad, unless you just want to shorten the sleeve
How about ironing jeans?
You missed a major thing - rise! Jeans are frustratingly consistent these days in being mid-rise. I have a long back, so jeans, full-stop, are hard for me to get and not look sloppy in (perhaps helped if I wear a long jumper or untucked shirt). Comments on this would be appreciated
Gin and tonic is good
Wrangler 13mwz classic western styling, 20.00-30.00
Probably the only video in GG where camouflage pattern is presented.
EXCEPT, if the guys want to do a little fun with cargo trousers.
What about bell bottoms?
I really like your jacket.
I love that brown leather jacket Sven is sporting. Feel free to post it to me in the UK should you so desire 😉😁
Looks like a Belstaff trialmaster
I have been a long term subscriber GG but this is one of the best, and very informative. Thank you
Top vid Kyle & GG 👍
Love it!
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😀
Wranglers $50 and up? I guess in blue states. But in NC you can get wranglers for at least half that at Wally World.
G star raw is the best jean brand acc to me
Some of my favorite jeans come from Mavi. I have huge freaking thighs (that only permit me to wear pleated pants) and so when I put on their relaxed fit jeans with the stretch, I feel free!
One of my favorite brands too. It's also more affordable because it's a domestic brand here.
What style of jacket is Raphael wearing at 9:38? I like it.
LTH Thanks!!
Thx alot
Love the light humor and a video I definitely needed it. Being a vertically challenged endomorph in the era of the skinny soy boy is definitely a monumental struggle. As much as I like and appreciate the classic men’s style I have to stick to a more casual rugged style to make the most of my esthetic and body type. When pea coats and chore coats are long enough to be overcoats 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Continued success in the new year.
Lift a barbell
Very involved and was caught with a left hook with the gin and tonic lol, great video.
You guys should make a video on how to dress like the main characters on the show Peaky Blinders
Love this dude
I would love a video about pocket watches! I’ve looked through the channel and cannot seem to find any video about it, sadly.
Nice video though!
KondzioBondzio agreed I like my pocket watches .
what are those brown boots at 2:55?
Thanks for this vid. Pretty hard to find jeans with muscular legs and it's exhausting looking for them.
