First, I'm absolutely in love with the new slightly sillier style of the recent videos. Keep up the good laughs! Second, as a man who likes stereo-typically masculine things (cigars, whiskey, watches, women, video games) but also stereo-typically feminine things (cats, fashion, interior design), it took me a full decade (all of my 20's) to learn to separate myself from toxic friends who would make disparaging comments about my race, style of dress, and class completely out of the blue based on these things. I wish I had videos like this back then to show me a man can be many things.

I'm a woman so I probably do not even belong here, but I honestly appreciate it when a man is passionate about very different and somehow "opposite" things (why opposite and declared opposite by whom ? I could not really say, though...). For instance my husband is this manly military officer, who likes his rugby and blended malts, but he also shares my love for beautiful flowers, cute babies, baroque Music or Miyazaki pictures... To me that is the definition of being "sain et équilibré" (having a healthy and balanced mind), and it is a fine quality !

Honestly Raphael, that's what made me stick around the last few years. Unlike other men's style channels you nor Preston nor Kyle came off as overly concerned with your masculinity. The focus was always being a better version of yourself. Or to put it simply, a gentleman.

I still follow them, and I like most of their content, but as of lately, I feel like they focus too much on "what to do to impress women", or "top five things that will get their attention" etc. And honestly, it seems so superficial. While here on the Gentleman's gazette, they remain simple and focus on what's really important: self improvement, not seeking others' attention or validation. After all, in my opinion, being a man is all about living up to your code of honor/conduct, respecting others and standing up for what you believe; and not about striving for praise.

I would like just thank Gentleman's Gazette and its three most elegant, smart and well-spoken authentic gentlemen who actually explain people what does it mean to be the one. Additionally I thank you for all the job you do for showing the timelessness of classic men's style, for all tips, guides and in-depth articles. Frankly, you really taught me these necessary lessons and wisdom that my dad couldn't, and I appreciate it. I must admit that your slight informality in last videos is the very moment when you can make your dedicated audience excited just with a little bit of silliness (in positive meaning), and you have earned it with no doubt. I wish you luck and further success with making videos and writing articles, also I sincerely wish more people around the world (especially in Russia where I'm from) would join the followers of Gentleman's Gazette 🍀

Gotta say... I was a bit worried that this was going to be a video that would get me to unsubscribe from a channel I've enjoyed for years. This is a really great video, to notch and respectful talk about an unfortunately difficult issue. Only makes me love this channel more!

I think the essence of being a gentleman is making other people feel happy and comfortable in your presence. Hospitality, in a broad sense. Not always easy. There's good advice in this video that can help us do that.

It’s great to see you folks talking about these things; being a gentleman is so much more than a wardrobe.

Preston is the gentleman icon for the youth, Raphael and Kyle are for the middle aged men! But the three of them are magnificent!

I have to say, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Always great content that men of any age can benefit from. I gave always been a student of dressing well and often feel the need to explain myself but the older and more mature I become, I’m less concerned with having to explain myself and especially appreciative of those who notice the attention to detail. Thanks Gents!

Great video as always. Thumbs up Preston for keeping it precise and well informative.

All of The Gentleman’s Gazette videos get thumbs up from me, proving it’s always quality over quantity. When they do a video, they do it RIGHT.

Came to this channel many years ago for basic menswear style advice, and have gotten so much more ever since. Thanks for doing what you do!

You can be more expressive to your loved ones and still keep the stoicism and good things he taught you.

Feelings aren's always good. The advice should be not to let the emotions errupt freely, but to rethink the emotional standard you are willing to express and dampen the feelings you feel are negative ( which requires time and awareness to process, and in this time it is the most important to stay calm and stoic; after you have figured out what you want to say - then you can start sharing it). Even if you are not violent, you can sometimes let slit some nasty things without even meaning them. And once they come out, there will be no way back. And it is a lot harder to repair your standing afterwards, than to keep your emotions in check.
