Excellent point about how much His Majesty supports craftsmanship in the UK. The rubber is meeting the road. Real people making real products. Not just lip service. Good on him
Congratulations on the award from His Majesty, that’s quite a feather in your cap.
A perfect choice for the day Ash. Great content and very well put together. An area His Majesty has always done very well is his turnout and style. I shall be raising a glass to toast his (and other chaps) good health later. Well done.
I wish HM and everyone else a wonderful day.
Thanks for your usual enlightenment on sartorial choices. I’m writing from Nigeria and I am particularly glad that you have done this bulletin on King Charles, a man of elegant tastes and some subtle spiritual understanding. Your country is so fortunate to have him as king.
Excellent point Ash about how the A&S drape cut is timeless. My tailor Redmayne is headed up by Tom Mahon who was a cutter at A&S. Love the drape cut
Congratulations on Charles' Coronation! I watched from the U.S., and it was a honorable and reverant event. I admired the ecumenicalism induced by Charles, as well as the extraordinary choreography and music.
Excellent video, but there is a significant part of Charles III wardrobe and style that needs to be mentioned and that is his championing of highland wear. There is a host of chappish ettqutte to wearing kilts and tartan, from very relaxed to the most formal of occasions and the new monarch has been a style setter in this genre as much as in traditional suiting.
Maybe there's a special 'Am I A Chap' tartan edition to be scheduled? 😉
Excellent video.....king charles has always been a superbly dressed man..long live the king!!!!!!
Wonderfully said, thank you! I've always truly enjoyed and have tried to emulate (in my own small way) the style of King Charles. As you say, he has always dressed well. And looking back, I don't ever remember him wearing anything that, looking back, would be considered 'cringe-worthy'. His clothes have always been timeless classics, yet ones that have always provided his own sense of panache. God Save the King!
Very nice video about the best dressed man in the world, Ash! I've always looked up to King Charles as an inspiration and an embodiment of traditional style.
Wishing the King a happy and prosperous reign on his coronation day!
He was chosen as the GQ best dressed man of 2009 - but I think he has quietly held that title for about 50-years.
Ash, I’ll add how much I, and I’d wager many of your viewer as well, appreciate your self deprecating humor. A chap doesn’t take Mrs self too seriously. Good man.
Thank you sir.
Well happy coronation day Ash! Cheers from the former colonies!
Happy Coronation Day from Germany. I think King Charles III will make a great job as a Monarch. And Thank you for your great work on your channel.
I’m reticent to comment too much to one video but you keep making great points! The bit on the pocket square is well said. His Majesty is an excellent exemplar of how to employ the pocket square. You’re spot on. Sartorially speaking His Majesty is an ambassador of sorts for hard working men and women whose efforts should be be well regarded. Excellent video as always. Well said Sir
Up there with your best videos Ash on this very special day. Long live the King
Im amazed you actually met our King. I was working on the coronation, I work in the heart of London. So i saw the celebrations. Great video.
He was Prince of Wales when I met him, about a year before he became King, but I certainly will never forget it.
Good morning sirs, God save the King.
Happy Coronation Day, sir! From Canada!
Will be watching the coronation from here in Western Canada as well. God save The King.
@@kennethMblake My alarm is set! Hello sir from Calgary!
@@MisterKnightly Also from Calgary! Greetings 😃
@@kennethMblake You don't say! Well hello sir and a pleasure to meet your acquaintance!
Brilliant stuff and very interesting. I’ve got to say that my favourite garment of His Majesty is his brambling jacket. There’s more patches than the original garment. Yet, it still looks good on him as he carries himself with such poise.
Looking sharp Ash. The repp tie and the blazer look very nice
Yes, the tie and blazer made his day !
I hope that you enjoyed the day Ash. A great day to be British and a member of the Commonwealth. It was a shame that the weather couldn't have been more favorable. My wife and I had planned to visit from Sydney to show our support, however ill health in the family prevented us from doing so. We did enjoy the excellent coverage and toasted the King's health and reign with a glass of something suitably festive. He's going to be a great King and an inspiration to many, as will Queen Camilla. Thanks for the very interesting video. Cheers! Phil
Cheers to you Phil
I remember, when I was young, I thought Charles was so well dressed. I wanted to be like him in that regard.
Same here: I still think he's so well dressed: the ties, the shoes, the pocket squares. Just compare him to any other public figure, politician, celebrity etc.
Only when it comes to double breasted suits I have to take a pass. It's only suitable if you're slim ... and I'm no longer the older I get.
Well done that man, fantasticly informative video with a great sense of passion and professionalism as always. Keep up the great work, your channel is my go-to for content. Dangerous as it is, as I usually end up buying heavily into your recommendations. Shoes and fragrances being my new passion. All a fantastic investment that give a real sense of joy.
Hi Ash, another fine video on such a special day! I do have to argue that 20K-25K for a watch, is hardly an accessible price...
Lovely video for our King 🇬🇧
Thank you for this intriguing analysis!
I watched the ceremonies yesterday of course, after all there is not much left of respectable German ceremony in this era of the head of state being a retired government member in effect (grumblegrumble) and I greatly enjoyed it.
From the start of my style journey I've been aware of the style of His Majesty Charles III, then the eternal Prince of Wales, because of several reasons.
The first was of course I studied Anglistics followed by English teaching, but also because I really like his style of the flowing but sharp, not overly restrictive suits.
As a bloke with several things to consider in a suit that are not commonly a matter of consideration (an ironic hooray for CD...) this way of styling truly resonates with me.
It is also His Majesties preference over many years for the double breasted suit that opened up this style of suit to me, with me initially considering it a bit stodgy )remember I was in my mid-20s then...).
So I'm personally thankful for the styling HM exposed me to via media presence and of course wish him all the best for his coming Reign!
Vivat Rex Carolus Tertirius! 😉
Best regards

Good Morning Ash. Yet another informative video. I think King Charles gets his frugality regarding clothes from his Mother the Queen. She wore Dresses etc that she had for decades it was mentioned on a programme about her. As you have said if you look after something it will last a long time.
Limiting my observations of your new king to his sartorial journey I do admire his permanent and conservative style. The Anderson and Shepard house style of soft tailoring particularly suits him and it has been a great influence on my own style during many decades. My favorite King Charles suit is one which he is photographed in in the Flusser book 'Dressing The Man' on page 99. The suit is in a Saville Row silken dupioni materiel db of incredible elegance for a Hawaii visit , simply stunning!
Didn't know that about his ties or lapel pens. Very interesting to hear he repairs his shoes.
Great video Ash! Well done 👍🏼 🎉
Top observation of the fact that the King patches clothes and shoes. That opens up myriad possibilities when it comes to moth damage, or even ebay shopping. 👍
those repairs look bad to me, very bad, but i like some of the japanese sashiko stuff. take a look maybe
@@rogerr.8507 Yes, the patch on the light suit looked pretty grim. I wonder if that's part of the snob value ?
Have you seen the landed gentry’s couches and carpets?
Thanks for this great vid ✌️
I always admired Louis Mountbatten for his military career and style.
I read somewhere that the male royals do a special calisthenics program together every morning, and that is why they all look so good. At one time, at least, the exercises were published and they may be online.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!
Happy Coronation! It was fantastic!🎉
Well, I recon you’re on for an upgrade to OBE after that one!
Seriously, Ash - nice, timely article. Enjoy the long weekend.😊
The King is now probably the best dressed public figure in the world.
Enjoyed watching that Ash. Thankyou.
Great video Ash, hope you enjoyed today.
I would be surprised if the king wears a watch during the coronation but I could be wrong.
My watchmaker/retailer told me that since Charles became king he has often been asked what watch he wears. They are not interested in watches per se but want to be in the royal “fashion”.
The king wears a tight tie knot because he is never to be seen showing a top shirt button above his tie. I wish more news presenters and politicians would copy him , they often look as if they have thrown on a tie for the interview. Not a good look if one is in the public eye.
King Charles is a countryman at heart and his country apparel is another topic, I particularly like his lapelled tweed waistcoats.
Keep them coming Ash.
What an amazing video! WOW! Full of important and interesting details. One of the best so far! Thanks!
I would love it if you did a series on the fashion of The British Royal Family I think you could really do a lot of interesting things with that.
I enjoy your work Ash. Although I am not impressed or supportive of certain people due to their birthright, I like your focus on style and eye for detail.
King Charles III. Good Man. My new King.
I wasn't able to see Charles's coronation due to being in a timezone in the states where it's late and I was sleeping. However I did saw images of the coronation and It was interesting to say. Giving I heard that the royals was not seen as favourable as they were back then, a decent size crowd still showed up to see their king put on the crown for the first time. despite some of my opinions on him I hope he will make a good monarch like his mother before.
I do notice that when King Charles wore a double-breasted suit, he did NOT leave any buttons undone. The two buttons are used. I think the current fashion of leaving the lowest button undone is recent, and I think it looks sloppy. Leaving the bottom button undone on a single-breasted suit looks fine, very natural.
I had a suit rip once, but instead of patching it which looks terrible, I took a patch of the cloth and had it rewoven. You could not tell where it had been done.
We have seen him wearing the brown overcoat for decades.He must have favourites
As usual a great and informative video.
If His Majesty, can patch up his clothes, who am I to say nay?
Congratulations to Charles III to his coronation. I watched it from across the Atlantic. A memorable event indeed. King Charles is a gentlemen and a very stylish one of course. I liked PM Rishi Sunak's color combination with the blue tie. Furthermore, I noticed he was the only British PM 's with a pocket square. I have noticed how much the videos on this channel have trained my eye for such details. Thank you Ash for this great video.
Would interest in a style examination of William please.
Nice presentation 👏🏽 Congratulations to your new King! I hope the king watches your channel, knights you and give it a Royal warrant! I can tell you’re very passionate and patriotic about your country 🇬🇧🫱🏻🫲🏽🇺🇸‼️
Anyone remember his safari suits from the 1970's?
I wear a tie every day for fun
Ottimo video ,come sempre .
Oggi anch'io auguro dall 'Italia lunga e felice vita a Sua Maesta' Re Carlo e a in questa giornata di festa un caro saluto a tutto il popolo inglese.
Thank you good sir. Very much appreciated
Once Upon a Time... There was a chap who aspired to be Prince of Wales. Then he found the post is predicated on nepotism ;-) Cheers to all!
As you've probably guessed, I'm no supporter of our system of choosing(sic) our Head of State, but boy oh boy, the royals make it easy for us to find good products with the "Warrant" system. Something that may interest you! until 2002 or maybe 2003, it WAS possible to hold four Royal Warrants, the only firm I know of who held four was Ede & Ravenscroft.... who I'll have to knock up for daughter No1's graduation shindig - gown, hood and hat. The fourth Warrant Was issued by Charles' grandmother. A tit-bit of news on the purchase front from me... Just picked up a used pair of Ede & Ravenscroft chukka boots which I'm pretty certain were made by Edward Green for less than the price of half a tank of diesel. Happy days... and have a great day to all the chaps who are into Kings etc ;) And thank you again Ash.
I’ve got a vid featuring Edward Green coming up next week. You may find it interesting. I was at the factory a few weeks ago - just one descriptive word needed - AMAZING.
@@TheChapsGuide Cheers Ash, excellent stuff. ... I'll be scanning the vid for design features for my investigation into these chukkas. M
Cheers Ash!👍
Another excellent vid on this British Coronation Day, highlighting the Classic Style and Elegance of the British Monarchy!🎩👔👞
Good Very Good w King Charles
Hello Ash, I think you omitted the shoe brand of Gaziano&Girling? I heard he will ware a pair of G&G on his coronation?
Bravo. I was keen to see that a KT presented the ring. Fabulous.
His coronation shoes and pumps are Gaziano and Girling.
Ash. great content and interesting stories about KING Charles III style and Royal Warrants. Wondering are the Royal Warrants changing to By Appointment to the KING? Will the Prince and Princess of Wales also have them soon as well? Would have thought he would have had a better patch job on his suit Coat. Cheers Ron
Hey Ash, I thought the king of style was Steve McQueen (or was that the King of Cool?)
I’d say cool for McQ. He was not really a true sartorial icon.
@@TheChapsGuide I understand what you mean when you say that Steve McQueen was not a sartorial icon. King Charles was born into the Royal Family and Steve McQueen was not. Anyway you have King Charles and we are stuck with the King of Cool.
Rolex is vulgar? Can you elaborate please? I’m new to watches. Thanks Ash!
how many lapel pins is too many? he's got on THREE!
Thank you for this Ash! Under what circumstances does wearing lapel pins or badges, outside of the dedicated cut-thru hole, leave any punched holes on the garment, thus damaging the fabric?
Should be fine in most instances, as the pin merely finds its way between the fibres of the material and does not damage it - just be carerful.
@@TheChapsGuide much appreciated on your answer! Wishing you a lovely weekend!
He was born in to this...he did not earn his position !!!!!!!
I don´t want to offend you, but I don't care about your king. But, what's about the fact that the people are asked to swear allegiance to the new monarch? Sounds strange to me, as a democrat. What are your thoughts on that?
Each to their own. Our constitutional monarchy has delivered democracy to most of the world over the last 1000 years. It is important to understand the role and function of our Sovereign within our democracy before one passes judgment.
And then ask yourself the critical question - are you entirely satisfied with the democratic process in your own country? Is it beyond reproach and likely to last for 1000-years?
@@jonstern7511 Obviously you're entitled to whatever opinion you choose, but I wonder if today is the right time to voice one which will run counter to that of the no doubt biblically sized crowds we'll see in London today ?
As for the allegiance question, and as Ash has pointed out in a previous comment section, the King represents not a single person, but is the symbolic embodiment of Great Britain. So its not that much different to the yanks swearing allegiance to the flag ?
@@jonstern7511 Thanks for saying so, The execrable british empire has been a pox on the world. The Opium Wars really piss me off just thinking about it.
@@Fanakapan222 the size of any crowd is not an argument for stopping voicing his own opinion. Never has been, never will be.
@@Fanakapan222 the king is a single person. The thing that strikes me most about this: if you want to exchange the king with any other person, a dictator or somebody else, I am not very relaxed about this.
One must wonder how much of the stuff he wore he picked himself. He came across as a nerd most of his life. Oh well enjoy the coronation if you must.
Excellent observation, although I’d say since His Majesty has been consistent to the point to which we can reasonably expect that we are seeing his sensibility as to style as opposed to a dresser. I’d bet he learned from his father who was well regarded as an exceptional dresser.
He never paid a penny out of he's own pocket our tax
we can get our own back by nicking his ideas and choices of maker ;) ... seeing as he can "afford" the best.
he must have earned some money, as a soldier
Help!! I think chatles’ suits usually look kind of floppy and like they pull awkwardly in spots. Also his pockets always seem full of stuff. To me he doesnt look all that great. 12:04 h does not look great! Can you comment on the fit of his suits?
Standard relaxed fit, much better for comfort than the modern skinny fit.
I am not for monarchy, but thank s for 411 .
"...more vulgar Swiss brands like Omega and Rolex..."? What was that root beer watch you were taking about? :)
Tongue in cheek sir.
That GD fly…..
God save the King
Great Britain isn't called Great for no reason, apparently. May the king be with God, and God be with the king.
Probably the best dressed man today
how about his gloves
Dents gloves.
@@TheChapsGuide thank you!
Pack it in .
That fly was very fond of you - wretched things: no proper respect. I'd like to know one thing you missed out - on very formal occasions, Charles wears a pocket watch, with a handsome chain. I'd love to know something about that: quite possibly, it's an inherited piece. I am never resentful of people who have more money than I have - I think it stupid. However, I do somewhat resent not the King, but the makers of everyday clothing; you won't find in Charles' wardrobe, and never would have found, trousers cut to sit on the hips, or very short overcoats (pea-coats, perhaps; they're not the same thing). Try buying such items for yourself, and they have to be tailor-made for you: well - that's what I do, apart from the occasional pair of high-waist corduroys from Chums! But it's obviously expensive to have to do that - and given so many older men have bodies for which tapered clothing is going to be something of a squeeze, and an uncomfortable one, is it really so much to ask for there to be a choice? I see some outfitters are offering looser fits now - a trend to be encouraged.
“Chap nirvana” lol
25000 pounds is not elite level? Yikes!
Genetically Charles follows his father, whereas Andrew is more podgy. Randomly, say like the Queen's former racing manager Lord Porchester
Sadly he is no chap and has besmirched our reputation throughout the world.
@@TheChapsGuide Well said. Its sad as I use to regard him in high esteem following the 1982 Falklands conflict regardless of how in danger he was but just for being there.
The guy dresses well but I would too if I was the largest recipient of welfare that the world has ever seen. Why does Britain STILL have a monarchy? What advice could he give a young boy in East London that wants to be a king like him one day? Nothing...
