Also, I am very glad to see you getting back into the old gentry swing of things with accessory/item reviews. I miss that!

Just purchased my first Carl Friedrik item and it’s exactly what I expected. Thanks for your videos.

I actually like that the channel has gone back to the roots reviewing more than only watches. It has a chance to reach out to more people and get them into... watches ;)

Thanks again TGV. I absolutely love these videos, especially re watches, bags, travel, explorer, etc. I am a GP, and am planning to pruchase a CF bag in the autumn for business use. Just emailed them with some questions around sizing, and gave your channel a nod. Thanks for all you do my friend, and please keep them coming!

Aside from the items mentioned, I think everyone should have a high-quality notebook and a good pen. The pen doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to be one you're incredibly comfortable writing with.

I truly love this kind of videos. Nothing better than receiving good advice and inspiration from a true gentleman! I have a couple of PIQUADRO bags which both served me very well over the past five years. Will be looking into CF"s offers after your video! Thanks!

I love the intro with the upright bass playing; super cool TGV. Great video as always! I definitely need to buy that bag.

Thank you! I am always looking for a quality messenger and/or weekend bag. I recently discovered the Carl Friedrik brand on a search, but until now have not quite made my decision to purchase. Your review has certainly given me incentive. And I just had another look at their website, and was pleased to see they display prices in my local currency of CAD. And, yes, although they are not inexpensive, they seem to be an incredible value. Some of the more well known brands are many times more expensive and nowhere near the quality. A friend of mine has a LV messenger bag, and it is absolute garbage. Matter of fact, I don't even think they use real leather, and a local leather shop I deal with even verified that. Price of that bag is well over 3 grand! Thanks again! Cheers, Carl

Great video. Got this leather satchel for years and the aging is quite unique just like my semi hard leather brief case. I hope you could do more episodes on more leather accessories. Awesome choice. The color and design is simply classy.

Just grabbed a bambino Iv (blue dial) to start the collection. Thought it’d be the sieko 807 but the opportunity presented itself for a new to the hobby extremely budgeted fella. Anyways just posting to thank this channel for all the help in learning about watch collecting. Urban Gentry, and Long Island Watch have been awesome, entertaining, and accessible learning tools. Thank you.

Awesome photos of your grandfather. Lovely.

I got a Chanel bag back when I was 17 and still have it 10 years later. It’s still got the style statement and the status :)

I bought the exact same briefcase recently (Black Friday) and it is amazing. I am looking forward to going back to the office to actually use it!

Yes! Another lifestyle video. Love them! Looking forward for more.

Thanks for the video. Always good to learn about classy things of quality.

Love this style of video. Keep up the excellent work!

Weekender in dark brown version is mine for one year now. I'm still in love with it.

Love these type of videos from ole Gentry!!!!

I purchased an outstanding doctors bag in Florence, Italy last year. Handmade, incredible attention to detail, buttery soft leather and tastefully designed. Italian style at it's best. : )

Jesus Christ opening song!!! Looking sharp brother! Philly background! ALL Define coolness to the max 😎😎 GOOD VIDEO REVIEW

The original Urban Gentry, I'm sorry I missed that :-) It’s an interesting topic. I used to have a nice Arthur and Aston bag in 2010 but to be honest I was kind off the only one that used such a bag, and after some time gave in and bought a new backpack. Even today I'm still wearing a be it modern stylish backpack for work. But I would love to go back to my stylish bag... Great video, yet again!

Love this style of video! I would eventually like to get a bag of this caliber, but I need to learn more about taking care of leather first. I feel silly sometimes wearing my sports backpack into work lol.

I'm not a handbag guy but through the years at work I have learned to appreciate a higher quality tool bag vs a lower quality one! ^_^

This is such a incredibly awesome channel !!!!!!!

As someone more than a little obsessive about my travel bags, I would have liked a little more detail on how well it held all the various electronics, wires, chargers, and other items that go with the gear. Nice detail on the workmanship, but I would have liked some more on how well it functioned. Some more detailed looks at interior space, how well it loaded up a laptop, power supply, camera, headphones, etc. I like how it looks but I can't tell if it would hold what I need. Oh, and how can you do a close up on a zipper without commenting on the smoothness of the pull? That's like reviewing a dive watch without commenting on the click of the bezel.

Great review and great focus on quality as usual. To answer your question about other things, a pen and a pocket knife are always on me. Once I switched to fountain pens I never switched back

Great review. Keep them coming!

It's unbelievable that most "men" think anything in leather with handles is a "purse." That would mean a wood-framed or hard-shell briefcase is a purse? What about the wallets that are chained to your belt? Come off it; a purse is a generic name for a money bag. Men use bags to carry their things- from papers and documents, to equipment, guns, food, etc. A "Man-bag" is what the sissies or masculine women carry.

Good evening tgv I hope that this finds you well and safe , what can you say about CF a absolute quality product if I do say so myself, and also I can not believe it was a year ago to the day of the London meeting, wow how time flies unbelievable; anyway thank you so much for the great vid and review, take care; Onwards and Upwards your friend Ryan.

I got a Ruitertassen tan briefcase last month, it's full grain and doesn't feel at all like what I expected, as some would say fresh veg tan leather is like "cardboard" but I hear it gets better with time. For anyone else who thinks the standard leather briefcase pricing of 400-500$ among almost every brand I've seen that's discussed on the internet, it's a good alternative for half the price.

I love the idea. I live in the suburbs so I replace the bag with a personalized leather binder, custom leather driving gloves and the trunk of my car. I'm not sure if its more or less complicated. I wish I had a use for such a nice bag. maybe a lifestyle change is in order. Thanks TGV.

Love your channel as for me it's so aspirational. That being said if I was to carry this bag where I'm from the only thing I'd be aspiring to would be a mugging. Maybe one day but for the moment, great content TGV keep it up.

Really enjoyed this one. Have been hugely influenced by and an avid fan of your watch content but not really followed your videos of this sort. That was a mistake. Would love to see more content like this and on other sartorial matters. Great work as ever.

Definitely essential. Mine are: ancient (>25 years) Tumi leather overnight bag/briefcase, great for one- or two-day trips. From the good old days when Tumi quality was still high, and it still scrubs up almost as new. And a newer but now also well-travelled handsome Knomo Brixton (IIRC) double compartment black leather briefcase. Oodles of space for laptop, papers and in-flight stuff plus spare shirt, socks etc if I've checked my other luggage. For cycling/walking business days (ie not often) a lightweight Hideo Wakamatsu hybrid briefcase with concealed backpack straps.

excellent video as usual! onwards and upwards!!

My taste runs very similar - quality leather, brief case dimensions. I see so many sling bags pitched by KZreadrs, they remind me of fanny packs, just as small messenger bags - well they're purses. Nicely done as always.

Good call. Buying quality, in a classic design, is never a bad idea - it ends up being an investment. This could be a series: a guide to sport coats, a guide to dress shoes, pairing clothing items and bringing together a wardrobe, etc. The watch videos are always great, but there's more to life, and you present it well. Perhaps when we're able to step out, and be more carefree again, we can do so in style... a bit more gentlemanly. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.

Bought my first high end briefcase/bag December 2019 but didn't get it until December 2020. I got a Ferragamo at half price, a friend in Italy has a friend that works at the Florence shop and got the employee discount. I didn't get until last month because I never made it back to Italy due to covid. I was traveling for work one a quarter or so, so I was going to pick it up in February 2020 on my trip, but that was canceled as Covid was blowing up in Italy at that time. Sucks it took a year to finally get it, but I love it.

I’m a big fan of the channel for many years and love this video! I was curious to see how this bag has held up in terms of scratches and general wear & tear.

My oh my how the channel has grown :) well done TGV

Welcome back to the very best of what you do......

Yes, like your videos about the gentleman's do dads one can buy. In fact two weeks ago I bought a Carl Friedrik Palissy Double Bag for my son, a lawyer. Should be plenty of room inside for all the papers plus a chicken salad sandwich.

I have the wallet and it’s perfect for my needs. Not overly bulky and not overly minimalistic with a great clean look. I just regret not getting my initials put on it!

Essentials in my book are a good watch, I’ve just acquired an Oris TT1 Titan 300m Divers Chronograph which will hopefully arrive tomorrow, a nice suit, a nice wool coat, a nice pair of boots, shoes, a leather jacket, a good knife and some nice jewelry.

Hi TGV, I would like to thank you for the videos you post. I am a new watch collector and you are a true inspiration. I am also a new fan and I watched a lot of your videos. I would to know your reviews about Xeric watches. I don't know if you have heard of them but I've seen a lot of them in ads. I was wondering if they are good quality watches and if should buy one. Thank you again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Another great video. I always enjoy. Do you have recommendation for a slim leather zipper portfolio. The type that usually have the zip across two sides and is just big enough to contain files, pen, and perhaps a slim laptop/pad if needed. I saw one once at Johnson Murphy's and no long see it. It must be manufactured by someone. Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Greetings and hope you are doing fine. Excellent video, I've been following your channel since when you used to visit London, go hunting there and show us the gifts you received. I really love such lifestyle videos. Please bring more content like this. Thanks and cheers 🙂😇

Great content as usual. I bought the black 25 hour brief probably 6 years ago at this point and it looks great. Other brands you might enjoy are Frank Clegg (tad higher of a price point) and Killspencer (more modern looking but same great quality). Cheers

Love to see you try your grandfather's moustache style - or the Clark Gable ... even more of that old school class vibe ... and hey the best part is that if it doesn't work you can shave it off.

Wow, imagine a TGV video without him mentioning a single Seiko watch, incredible! Ok ciao!

Hello @UrbanGentry much love from US, just wanted to know if you would do a review on the Seiko Captain Willard return since you love delving into the history :)?

Different company but I love my leather weekender duffle bag. Nice classy touch from a nylon duffle or carting your stuff around in a traditional suitcase.

A good billfold and also a travel wallet for the jet set gent 👍. Love your channel TGV.

Hi, Tristano. For parts, I think that the Yema Superman, although you own the other too, is a superb watch, love it. I like very much other stuff in the channel, as you consider it to be shared. I prefer listening people that talk about what they like before that just this or that stuff. So I have enjoyed this video a lot. About bapacks, the most elegant I own I suppose is the Minaal Daily pack. Yes... I am also a bagpack guy.

Really enjoy everything about this vid. The bag is BIG but that's prob good, more useful. For legit travel like when we're in DC. Classy AF.

They had a 20% site wide sale on Black Friday. But now due to covid, I pretty much permanently work from home, so can't say I need a new bag.
