I have invested in handmade English shoes for decades, I love beautiful shoes! So often, shoes are sadly overlooked, in reality they transform your attire.

Style change has affected my life significantly over the past few years. I'm 28 now, and have always lived life on the more rebellious side. Skateboarding, writing graffiti, skipping school, etc. I worked horses on a ranch in my late teens but never considered myself much of the cowboy type. It was just a job for me at the time. However over the past half decade or so I've realized what I missed out on and have been slowly getting back into horsemanship. I've ditched the skate shoes and snap backs and have been investing in several pair of quality cowboy boots and hats. They've changed my life. A simple compliment on my hat from a stranger is enough to make my week.It's not just an accessory, but a way of life. You have to uphold a code that's been passed down for a century. Lately however I keep looking at different suits. I love the look of tweed and have been trying to think of how I could mix some western attire in without going "over the top." Really been loving your content. Gives me something extra to look forward to everyday. Thanks for reading. -Justin D

Hi Justin, thank you for your message. This is great to hear. As for combining tweed with Western wear, check out the style of Ralph Lauren - I think he does this very well. Cowboy boots with jeans, a denim shirt, and a tweed jacket is a great look, in my opinion

Very nice. How about a story on Stanley Tucci

I watched Peaky Blinders a few years back and was inspired by the fashion. So i decided to wear like them. Since then I've gotten lots of compliments from women and men felt a little intimidated. It's been about 2 years now and i feel a lot better wearing pants, shirt with a vest and tie than wearing a tshirt

Yet another insightful post! I praise your battle for elegance and lifestyle! We tend to live in a world that praises vulgarity and ugliness simultaneously overlooking simple courtesy and beauty. Your content is not about vanity and superficiality. In my humble opinion, you convey a sincere level of respect for people, kindness, intellect, s’avoir fare and all things artisanal. It’s an absolute pleasure to see you evolve!!🥃✨

An in-depth explanation of the concepts and logic behind clothing vision, which is great

As an actor (for 40 years) I found this mantra- told to me by an eminent director years ago- to be invaluable: 'Wear your daily clothes like a costume, wear your costume as your daily clothes.' Good advice.

I'm really loving this channel - the dive into the psychology, attitude, and behaviors is a great supplement to the more clothing-specific topics.

You are spot on, on everything you said. I have noticed too that the more society implodes, if I dress nicer than everyone else where I am going people on the margins of society don’t mess with you. They seem to have an attitude that this person must be pretty important…I better stay clear. Therefore, clothes can add to your security out in public.

Very important first 30 seconds. The GRUESOME sports toes shoes, smartwatches, etc. You look classy! Even a woman told that to me. Mister Classy is my nick name. You were right. Is there a video where you make videos about why men wear „smartwatches“ VERSUS a classic watch?

Nice video. I recognize that tie. I have like that from Brooks Brothers. 👍

Great video as always!

If you are well dressed you can walk into a five star hotel just to use the bathroom and someone will hand you a cloth towel to dry your hands. Or you can wear a hoodie that cost as much as a Brooks Brothers shirt, get thrown out of Seven Eleven, and pee in the bushes. Take your pick.

Dressing appropriately and better has certainly made me feel better about myself. The education and learning experience has been great when looking and shopping for quality clothing and has been fun. You and others on KZread have been great motivation on self-improvement.

Enjoy watching your suggestions. Subscribed.

You absolutely stand out, and get treated a lot better in an office setting when you actually put effort into your style. Good quality clothes (that are tailored) nice shoes and a nice watch go a LONG way when everyone else is doing the bare minimum (dress wise).

Dear Gent, I have one suit that I normally have to wear no more than perhaps four times a year, and I'm grateful it's not more than that. I find it very restricting because I can't carry the things I like having to hand. You're remark about getting you noticed was interesting when you mentioned the idea of hanging round in an expensive locus while wearing a tracksuit; the rule for getting noticed therefore is to blend in. For the sort of places I can afford, I'd likely get rolled if I turned looking the way you do. It's always interesting to see how the other half lives, however, so please keep up the good work. Frank.

Another great vid 👍👍👍

he speaks so well 👍

I forgot to say, your material is superb.

I like the comparison with DarkAge because if you look on pictures like 40-80 years ago way many people were wearing suits and likewise clothing and if you look around nowadays the "style" people have is horrible most of the time. I stil can not understand how you can pay a lot of money for jeans which are damaged allrdy xD

It’s a small thing, but ever since chukka boots became my normal day to day shoe I actually feel uncomfortable wearing sneakers unless it’s for actually exercising or yard work or something similar. Nowadays I find myself wanting to grow the chukka collection and look at people like Daniel Craig for inspiration in styling them.

The ones you like. I love listening to songs which are heavy on the guitar (Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Gary Clark Jr) and Video Game OSTs while working out (Yakuza 0, Cyberpunk 2077, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Max Payne 3), but at the same time I can listen to Air Suite no. 3 by Bach and Sicilienne by Faure while reading. I think learning an instrument like guitar, for me, has made me appreciate other genres and types of music. Whatever speaks to you, you should cherish it. Bye.

Dressing well is a form of communication!👔👞 People don't like to admit it, but your judged by your appearance. If a Man looks his best when he's well dressed, then why would'nt he want to dress well everyday, or at least more often? What I think happened to today's sartorial taste level in society is that "Casual Friday's", got out of hand! Nowadays people tend to want to dress casually everyday! To each is own! I do think a Man making an effort to elevate his Sartorially aesthetic taste level goes a long way to improving his value to himself and his surroundings! If a Man is surrounded by beauty, it will have a positive effect on his well being!👍

Hello from So. Calif.. I got to work as a background actor in Hollywood for a few years. I loved showing up to set in a nice suit and accessories. Wardrobe would take one look & tell production they wanted me prominently placed in the scene. Worked many times. Loved it!

Great video

suggestions regarding your clothing choices: your pocket square competes with your tie. a more subtle choice with a less busy pattern would improve the look. your double-breasted jacket is a tad too tight. notice how it is rolling and not sitting flat by being pulled too tightly when buttoned. great content. keep up the good work.

Could you please make an episode on how a gentleman takes care of his suits, footwear, and accessories at his leisure? What tools are recommended?

Simon Crompton of Permanent Style UK and Kirby Allison of the Hanger Project are very good sources of information and videos.

I started dressing up during the worst phase of the pandemic when certain people were treated like garbage. I was one of them and changing my appearance really saved me. Kept me sane.

I really appreciate you're taking the time to do these videos. There is always a place, time factor on how one dresses. One would not wear a tweed jacket at the Weekend Drags.lol Or a Political tee shirt at a Funeral. Common sense applies. Salamat.

I love classic style and fully support the movement, but I think it's deeply important not to go all in for striving for superficial appearances or "luxury". The saying "all style and no substance" is well known and exists for good reason - all luxury and no struggle makes one soft and is akin to degeneracy. Philosophers have written about this for eons.

Many years ago - a former cleaner with my company complained of her wayward son & his repeat court appearances. I suggested getting him a suit / tie / shoes deal for Xmas. He next appears before the court & the judge looked at him & smiled before dismissing all his cases.

Great video, is that blazer or something similar available anywhere?

I am spamming these videos to my 22yr old Son. Powerful well stated content.

Just want to chime in with a comment on how you can style up in any genre. I myself am a through many years metal guitar player (yes, bands, gigs, performances, own studio and all) who spent my twenties in the usual attire of worn out jeans and t-shirts with one upon the other of studded belts, braces etc. A manager once told me: The band makes great music but you look like any other act on stage,- you need something visual outside of just the music to set you apart. With that comment we started paying attention to our stage attire and designed stage outfits for ourselves,- basically the same style as always but levelled up. Instead of the worn put faded jeans it became quality lether pants, instead of the worn out sneakers it became quality boots,- be it Doc Martens, biker boots or black on black cowboy boots instead of washed out t-shirts it became thin quality tasseled leather jackets etc. Needles to say we stood apart and looked like rock stars before we had even become so. ( Fake it ´till you make it, you know.) :) Today I still have stage attires one or two levels above what you would normally wear,- next to my quality suits, coats and shirts. Wouldn´t want to find myself at the local pub in an outfit consisting of washed out and worn out faded jeans, a washed out band t-shirt, dirty and worn out sneakers and a long unwashed ponytail with a pint of stale warm lager in my hand entertaining the crowd with stories of how once I was a roadie for Oasis in the 90s. It´s very much a question of what kind of signal you´re sending to yourself,- telling and showing yourself what you´re worth.

Young Mr. Z...While you are already high up towards the sartorial summit, my ancient, but not inexperienced eye detects a slight tension in the buttoning of your 6 on 2, which might find remedy in an equally slight movement of a button. Of course, this might be due to lighting or position or some other optical misfeasance, and not a fault in the jacket. Did you notice this in this video perchance?

I have to say, I very much enjoy your channel. For work, I often have to wear suits (Oxxford) “nice” shoes, ties etc (Alden cordovan because it’s all that fits and I can walk in since AE went to crap and Hermes because I like the cat ties). But I have found that I am most comfortable when I am wearing dickies pants, nicks boots, and a generic shirt with a ball cap because that is who I am. I do have Walls jackets as well. Extremely well made and durable, stylish in my view too. If I am coming from work I often will leave my dress shirt on (I have a stash of wrinkle free neiman marcus before they banned whatever it is that makes them actually wrinkle free). It may be incongruous, but it suits me. Absent being told to remove my hat at a few steakhouses by young hostesses, which I of course decline because it is nothing more than racist policy, I have not been refused service or treated wrongly due to my appearance. I suppose it helps that I am familiar with the staff at places I frequent. If a double breasted blue blazer with brass buttons makes you feel like I feel when I dress as I prefer, I absolutely see the value in doing so.

Hi sir. Would you ever consider becoming a men’s styling consultant?

I love the McDonalds comment. When my girlfriend and I needed a quick bite to eat, we went to a Sam's Fried Chicken, and I can confirm that we stood out from everyone else haha

Interesting...TY...I wear black Dickies socks now with my Levi's tennis shoes.

I have a well paying job with a fortune 100 company despite dropping out of high school largely because I wear a suit every weekday.

Would love to wear a sport coat and tie most days. Just really concerned about the dry cleaning expenses + general maintenance costs + closet space.

My grandpa who was in banking always said "your appearance is your presentation slide".

If I'm going to a place where people are generally poorly treated such as the DMV or some other government office, I will dress in a suit and tie. I get better and more polite service that way.

It never fails: once you dress up -- even with just a sport coat over a pair of jeans -- any amount of dirt and clutter which you might have failed to notice even the day before become unacceptable. If you do it a few times, the cracked screen on your phone, the bad paint job in a room and the lack of coherence in the decor no longer meet your standards. Even the few extra pounds you put on cannot be tolerated anymore. You feel an urge to change all of it -- and that this change is due for yesterday. Because you look like a man who has standards, you start acting like you do and this changes everything.

All this sounds sooo superficial... But its all TRUE!! Dress up guys!

If you see a young guy in a tracksuit in the bar of a 5 star hotel, it's fairly likely that he's a billionaire's son or a start-up entrepreneur worth millions. It's the kids in expensive suits who are the middle class wannabes, who can't really afford to be there!

Can someone give me an Id on that Tie?

It depends. I live in a tropical country. Also, there's a time and place for everything. Dressing up (I mean classic suits) for the wrong occasion will only make you a w€irdo. This sounds to me just youthful excitement, pure aesthetics, no real content.

I'm in my seedy bedsit in my underpants eating warned up pizza while scratching my balls thinking is it time for ny weekly wash. . Is there any hope for me?

I feel uncomfortable wearing a suit, physically. Also does nothing for me mentally. I have worn them, be quite happy never to again. I did pick up a girl showing up to a student conference in jeans and a tshirt, she told me that she noticed I didn't dress up in the slightest way and had no fornication to give in that regard. Lets just say she was very figedity and looking over in my direction just throwing off interest signals. Myself I prefer the more casual even tomboyish look in a female so win win. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the Bond/Kingsman ascetic but to me, not only is it physically uncomfortable but to me, it is a uniform as mentally not much different from wearing McDs gear, I see a suit, I see someone who has to answer to someone else, and even presidents and prime ministers have the electorate to answer to. I don't. Feels good man. But hey, you guys do you, seriously man. If a suit or a love of Shakespeare in the original Klingon or Kpop in the original Klingon brings you happy happy joy joy feelings, Good, great, fantastic. Must say though it is a good look.

Great stuff, sir! I want to add and underline that style is not merely about formal wear. It is about being conscious and in complete control of the message you send by the way you look. I have a favourite outfit past few weeks: Blue denim boot cut jeans, dark tan chelsea boots, flanel shirt and a military style m65-ish earth brown jacket. All adjusted to fit perfectly. It gives off a very masculine vibe which is sophisticated by the boots and Hermes d´Terre EDT fragrance and is making me feel EXACTLY how I want to. Manly without overly announcing it. It's all about looking the way you want to feel.
