Sven, I wouldn’t change a thing. My wife, on the other hand is convinced that I’m going through a midlife crisis, because I’m dressing much nicer and wearing better shoes. I’m 40 now, and I dress like a man. Oh well. 🤷🏻♂️
My boyfriend has always been a absolute dandy. But at home, he wears these shapeless grey sweatpants and these old tshirts that I keep laundering roughly so maybe they’ll finally die. But if the bulk cotton T-shirt has one good quality, it’s that they don’t die. Ever.
Actual pirates wore anything and everything including women's garments. Maybe if Raphael made a video for release on International Talk Like a Pirate Day Sept 19, 2021 dress as a dapper movie pirate. That's Captain Dapper Squinteye to you landlubber!
I feel like a lot of the people who criticized the original video were failing to understand that your channel is strictly about classic, gentlemanly fashion and mannerisms. Everything on Gentleman's Gazette is approached from that perspective. If that's not their style, than the videos on your channel aren't made for them. There are plenty of other channels on men's fashion that may be more appropriate to their personal style.
Really appreciating the uptick in humor that seems to be creeping into the production lately, this was a good idea to react to a past video. Awesome outfit today!
The quote about constant improvement is an excellent capstone to the theme of this video. One way to continue improvement is to look back at ones self and see what you would do now with the knowledge you have gained. Great video, keep up the good work.
It is better not to do the updated version because dudes with flip flops will still call themselves gentlemen and they will defend their attire even if it is not suitable for one.
Love the new editing with the out-takes, slow-mo and funny bits, makes for a much more entertaining viewing experience whilst still being informative and interesting. Keep it up 👍🏻
The bag or briefcase is only usable in the USA or Europe, here in Argentina they always get stolen, most of those who need to commute to work in suit go with a backpack but they put it in front or we wear them with the zippers against us to avoid getting stolen.
That was great, and really shows that you guys don't take yourselves too seriously. I think I agree with most of the things you mentioned and only wear these things when I'm lounging around at home. Your socks are too nice for that! Also, thanks for that fan-service extended crotch shot at the end. :o
The word “peasant” means something different than a medieval pauper to younger people. I don’t know how familiar you are with “Hype beasts”, but they’re obnoxious young people who wear nothing but designer clothes. They re-popularized the word by calling anyone who can’t afford designer goods “peasants” in a very degrading way. This may have contributed to any recourse you got for saying people looked like peasants, people may have been associating you with the hype-beasts
@@darianburkhart752 Gentlemen, and I mean True Gentlemen are good at adapting, and you’re living proof of it. I quite understand how it’s being broke. 🎩
I agree with your style 100%. In a world that specializes in so many outlets of creativity, men's dress promoting conservative wear should be highlighted. Men's dress wear should command respect, not demand respect. Men of authority should present themselves in a confident manner when socially engaging with others. Men's wear has changed through the years but first impressions are slower to change.
Don't apologize for confidence. People need to up their game. That video challenged me in a lot of positive ways. Thank you for speaking from your heart!
For sure, all of the hosts have really lightened up in the last few years and it’s much more enjoyable. Really enjoyed the slight outtakes and humor in Preston’s last video, and the contrast between Raphael now and even 3 years ago is stark. Keep it up gents!
Maybe you feel that way because you were looking for evolutions in his style, while this video mainly contains critiques other than style...like the number of times he said "dapper" or his need for lotion.
I remember watching this video the first time and it helped me realize why I always felt something was off when I saw myself wearing cargo shorts in the mirror. Ever since then, I've been hooked on this channel and applied some advice given by you all.
Really liking the outfit rundown being done outside rather than in the studio. To be honest, I personally prefer it as it shows the pieces as you would see them and not under studio lights. Keep up the great work!!!
The tennis socks thing hit home for me as I often wear them but I am working on reforming my collection. They are something I find comfortable with formal shoes but the original video which I only watched recently really made me realise I do not find them stylish at all lol
That was the first video I've watched from you guys and even though your stuff is not my style, I find your videos - especially lately - very informative and relaxing to watch/listen to. I felt like that video was a bit over the top in terms of roasting the viewers :v but it still was the video that got me hooked onto your other stuff later on. Thanks for making such nice content.
I think your video on skin tone is one of the most underrated out there. It helped me figure out why certain dark Colors like navy green looked kinda off on my skin while other dark ones didn’t.
Thank you for yet another fun video. Reviewing yourselves for some of your imperious and seemingly condescending video remarks from the past is admirable. I agree with the tenor of most of your videos given your stated purpose of promoting classic style in men’s clothes. It is great to see a business succeed with a ‘throwback’ business model and in spite of often polarizing and self-inflicted ‘wounds’. Perhaps most of all, I enjoy your humor. Classic style is great!
Finde ich sehr gut, dass du auf dein damals so umstrittenes Video reagierst und zeigst, dass du dich einfach weiterentwickelt hast. Die nötige Reife und den Mut sich Fehler einzugestehen sollte für einen Gentleman selbstverständlich sein denn noch mehr als der Anzug macht die Einstellung und innere Haltung einen Gentleman aus.
I saw how many angry reactions this video got so I was happy when you reacted to it. I like that blue suit in the video, sad you don't wear it so often.
Each time I hear that men should never wear cargo short, make me laugh (specially when you show somebody camping). Short are good (specially in hot countries), cargo short are best when you traveling in nature or camping.
The problem is going overboard with it. A haversack, belt pouches, fishermen's vest or surveyor vest would do. Objects weigh more below your center of gravity. Another problem the more storage space a person has the more items they are never going to use are put in the storage space. I and other bushcrafters have earlier in our hobby have been guilty of this. I do have a few cargo shorts and cargo pants compared to my regular outdoor shorts and outdoor pants. When I do wear them I'm not carrying a haversack but a backpack and keep my wallet, keys, multi-tool, a Bic lighter, maps, base plate compass, pencil, and a small notebook in the cargo pocket.
A TV show from Canada that I would recommend for classic mens fashion prior to the 1920's is Murdoch Mysteries (2008- present), I would love for this channel to review its use of fashion by season.
This vid contains a good combination of yellow tie and blue suit / blazer. There is hardly any content on yellow tie combinations. It seems to be one of the most beautiful ties especially the light yellow. Or a whole series of affordable dress shirts and tie combinations. Great vids!!!
A vest is really not compatible for those if us who conceal carry. The vast majority carry strong-side "inside-the-waist-band" (IWB) with holster hung from the belt. With a jacket, a shoulder rig might be viable (if generally undesirable - less safe, slower presentation), except most shoulder rigs need to be anchored to the belt so the frame quickly separates from the holster. Appendix carry (AIWB) would also be blocked by the waist coat hanging over the top of the trousers. In the 20's and 30's, "vest pocket" guns were popular. Perhaps a vest could be modified to carry a micro 9, j frame, or a micro380.
You have evolved beautifully and I love your channel. I have watched most videos several times and you have never posted a video that I did not consider helpful.
I'm really happy a channel like this can be self-depreciating when appropriate. It was very well-handled. I'm also really happy to see a dapper gentleman who is clearly not afraid of tiny tie-knots. It's the type I've always tied, but in recent years I was worried it made me look a little stingy. I do like the look of a larger knot, not as large as a full Windsor, but it's reassuring to see my old type was never really bad. Watches... yeah. I've thought about wearing some crazy watches because, when I was a kid, I always wanted a computer watch, ;) but attention-grabbing is risky and status symbols... well, I have to say status symbols can be so gauche! XD
Please make a video about the style of two very peculiar gentlemen, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson! Their style has changed with every interpretation of the characters by the various actors... And not just Cumberbatch and Downey Jr! Iconic Sherlock Holmes actor Basil Rathbone appears in Dressing the Man and another book by Alan Flusser. I hope it's food for thought and you make a video like you did for Kingsman.
Really interestinh video. I find myself surrounded with people doing almost all of these mistakes, mainly: On turkish weddings everyone "dresses up". Sadly, that means wearing way too tight trousers/suits, wearing belts with wests and wearing a 2 in 1 tie and pocketsquare. I understand people don't have the money to buy custom tailored suits or dozens of pocketsquares. But I would say it is better not to wear something (in this examples don't wear the west and pocketsquare) than to wear it wrong
I watched that video a week ago and I did not realize that is one of your old videos thus I think your videos are not old or new, but classic. Also, I would like to congratulate you on your "new" personnel, they fit right into this content format. On another note, reacting to your own videos, it's quite a thing! I never saw that on youtube, you might be the first. nice! Don't change the intro, it's perfect.
The video he is reacting to is my least favourite Gentlemen's Gazette video, mainly because of people reacting so badly and making wild assumptions about Raphael. I like today's combination, I think that you are certainly getting better(previously I believe that you seemed to have a lot going on).
I do think that he did come off as, who do i say this? Offensive i guess? Basically shitting on them But those people really overreacted about the topic XD And its funny cuz while they got so angry Raphael probably didnt even care
One of the subtle things about this channel making it great is Sven's sense of humor. I enjoyed the self deprecating of his past over-usage of the word "dapper".
“In this day and age, people can wear anything” and THAT is the PROBLEM. Our society and cultures standards have just gone so far down the toilet. The way people dress today is really, really bad.
@Su113Y I agree and disagree with this saying. On the one hand it allows people to be whoever they want and do anything they like, as in chase any career path and not hold back on fulfilling their dreams; on the other hand, it also makes people stay extremely stagnant and stop improving. I see so many people use this "be yourself" as an excuse to stay stagnant as they won't admit that they're too lazy to make a positive change in their life, and it also makes people not change or improve their social behaviour for the better, some people are very annoying and expect you to deal with it under this "be yourself" nonsense. A better saying would be: "Be the best version of yourself."
It's also really, really comfortable and cheap too. That's what people prioritize. Dressing up is a privilege. Most people can't afford to drop 40 bucks on a pair of socks. They are happy with the 12 pack of whities. I'm glad that fashion is less of a societal expectation but more of a personal expression. It means those with a genuine passion can easily find each other.
Funny thing is that my first video ever watched from your channel was the one about how to pronounce some brands correctly... It was al for the laughs in the comments section but I dug deeper and boy how I love your content, so keep up the good work!! P.S.: Please leave the intro as is, it's just perfect!!
I think Raphael's outfit in the reaction video, (not the original video being critiqued), is one of my favorites. I like the combinations of colors and patterns.
I like a good reaction video as much as the next person and I'm glad your realizing there's a better way of presenting your message. ALSO, pleaaase for the love if you mix patterns make sure its the same color! A person looking at you doesn't know were on earth the focal point is for their eyes to rest on its very busy and causes eye fatigue.
Thanks - I really enjoyed that. Life’s too short to be negative about things. Better to try to improve yourself and hope someone follows you along the way
Mr Schneider I am watching lately a rerun of Hart to Hart where you see Jonathan Hart sporting nice clothes but one accessory he wears often and that is the neckerchief. I know it's not classic accessory of the 30s 40s but yet out of curiosity what do you think about it?
I would point out that a leather backpack can look quite handsome, you can also carry it by the top handle and it functions as a briefcase with the added ability to fully sling it
A button down shirt with a tie should always have the top button buttoned. Without a tie, the top button should not be buttoned; a totally buttoned button down shirt without a tie is traditionally a manual-laborer look: farmers working in the field, ditch diggers, and prisoners on a chain gang.
The Windsor tie knot is absolutely necessary for the Fort Belvedere ties, at least the short versions. They are so thin it's the only knot that achieves a reasonable size. Half windsor looks tight and tiny.
The funny thing is: Back in the day peasants dressed better than most people today. I know that may come across as rude, but truth be told, even if it is hard sometimes.
They did like i do today. My grandma came from those depression Era days. Wear the same suits an take care of them. Im very surprised how high quality my items are. They seem water an stain proof. I just hope there is a low cost way to dye velvet cause I want the flashy bright black color back.

I hope it's food for thought and you make a video like you did for Kingsman.
Good video. Appreciate the self deprecating humor and tongue in cheek approach
That video is dapper!
I enjoy your channel and find that you offer old fashioned wisdom for everyone.
I loved this video and had much to laugh, thank you!
For the record, I found the peasant comment hilarious both times. And I'm not very wealthy myself.
3rd world upper class need to see this. 😂
Really interestinh video. I find myself surrounded with people doing almost all of these mistakes, mainly: On turkish weddings everyone "dresses up". Sadly, that means wearing way too tight trousers/suits, wearing belts with wests and wearing a 2 in 1 tie and pocketsquare. I understand people don't have the money to buy custom tailored suits or dozens of pocketsquares. But I would say it is better not to wear something (in this examples don't wear the west and pocketsquare) than to wear it wrong
Those boots are FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please tell me you're talking about the boots he wears in winter with the fur lined 🤩
I watched that video a week ago and I did not realize that is one of your old videos thus I think your videos are not old or new, but classic. Also, I would like to congratulate you on your "new" personnel, they fit right into this content format. On another note, reacting to your own videos, it's quite a thing! I never saw that on youtube, you might be the first. nice! Don't change the intro, it's perfect.
I can notice you look nicer now, sir!
I enjoyed your unfiltered opinions in that video, keep them coming
Keep doing what y'all are doing here
The green vintage tweed jacket is PHENOMENAL
The video he is reacting to is my least favourite Gentlemen's Gazette video, mainly because of people reacting so badly and making wild assumptions about Raphael.
I like today's combination, I think that you are certainly getting better(previously I believe that you seemed to have a lot going on).
Nate, thanks for mentioning. I like the today outfit, too.
He keeps to Karo patterns only and same mono colour on tie and pocket square.
I do think that he did come off as, who do i say this? Offensive i guess? Basically shitting on them
But those people really overreacted about the topic XD
And its funny cuz while they got so angry
Raphael probably didnt even care
One of the subtle things about this channel making it great is Sven's sense of humor. I enjoyed the self deprecating of his past over-usage of the word "dapper".
“In this day and age, people can wear anything” and THAT is the PROBLEM. Our society and cultures standards have just gone so far down the toilet. The way people dress today is really, really bad.
People should be able to wear what they want I personally like to wear a suit but nothing wrong with what they wear
@Su113Y
I agree and disagree with this saying. On the one hand it allows people to be whoever they want and do anything they like, as in chase any career path and not hold back on fulfilling their dreams; on the other hand, it also makes people stay extremely stagnant and stop improving. I see so many people use this "be yourself" as an excuse to stay stagnant as they won't admit that they're too lazy to make a positive change in their life, and it also makes people not change or improve their social behaviour for the better, some people are very annoying and expect you to deal with it under this "be yourself" nonsense. A better saying would be: "Be the best version of yourself."
Yes, before the Renaissance people like you killed great natural philosophers because their thoughts were too different
It's also really, really comfortable and cheap too. That's what people prioritize.
Dressing up is a privilege. Most people can't afford to drop 40 bucks on a pair of socks. They are happy with the 12 pack of whities.
I'm glad that fashion is less of a societal expectation but more of a personal expression.
It means those with a genuine passion can easily find each other.
I really liked your voice tone in this video, more chatting than presenting the subject. Always love your videos, but in this one I felt so at ease
Thank you raphael for introducing me to menswear 💕
Funny thing is that my first video ever watched from your channel was the one about how to pronounce some brands correctly... It was al for the laughs in the comments section but I dug deeper and boy how I love your content, so keep up the good work!!
P.S.: Please leave the intro as is, it's just perfect!!
*Sven reacting to a video by Sven where Sven is representing Sven's older video on "19 things men should never wear".*
Sven-ception.
I think Raphael's outfit in the reaction video, (not the original video being critiqued), is one of my favorites. I like the combinations of colors and patterns.
Great video. I really enjoyed it. You have a great week.
By reacting to your own video somehow seems more interesting than the original video I haven't seen. Now I learned some on what not to wear.
Don't redo the intro please! We love it as it is.
I like a good reaction video as much as the next person and I'm glad your realizing there's a better way of presenting your message. ALSO, pleaaase for the love if you mix patterns make sure its the same color! A person looking at you doesn't know were on earth the focal point is for their eyes to rest on its very busy and causes eye fatigue.
Thanks - I really enjoyed that. Life’s too short to be negative about things. Better to try to improve yourself and hope someone follows you along the way
If you are wearing black tie and leaving your tie untied at the end of an evening it looks cool and reminds of the rat pack.
Mr Schneider I am watching lately a rerun of Hart to Hart where you see Jonathan Hart sporting nice clothes but one accessory he wears often and that is the neckerchief. I know it's not classic accessory of the 30s 40s but yet out of curiosity what do you think about it?
I would point out that a leather backpack can look quite handsome, you can also carry it by the top handle and it functions as a briefcase with the added ability to fully sling it
My brother, when he was getting into the style of clothing, he would never button the top button of his shirt. I did not like that look at all.
A button down shirt with a tie should always have the top button buttoned. Without a tie, the top button should not be buttoned; a totally buttoned button down shirt without a tie is traditionally a manual-laborer look: farmers working in the field, ditch diggers, and prisoners on a chain gang.
@@edennis8578 Told the same thing to my brother.
The Windsor tie knot is absolutely necessary for the Fort Belvedere ties, at least the short versions. They are so thin it's the only knot that achieves a reasonable size. Half windsor looks tight and tiny.
The funny thing is: Back in the day peasants dressed better than most people today. I know that may come across as rude, but truth be told, even if it is hard sometimes.
I would like you to record your command comrad dyatlov
They did like i do today. My grandma came from those depression Era days. Wear the same suits an take care of them. Im very surprised how high quality my items are. They seem water an stain proof. I just hope there is a low cost way to dye velvet cause I want the flashy bright black color back.

Raise the powah!
@@anatolystepanovichdyatlov1747 I have decided to not continue with this joke as it will only diminish the spontaneity and “dope” factor of it.
P.S. As a non native English speaker I am very proud of this comment and I do in fact now consider myself as above the average person.
I find that peasant comment quite ironic since the people using it as an insult are most likely descendants of peasants.
A very dignified reaction video old boy, well done!!!
