Greetings and congratulations to you and your team Sven! I have been following you for years and have learned a lot from you. All the best to you and your team. Greetings from Argentina!

My favorite Men’s lifestyle channel is one called “The Chap’s Guide” 😊

@TheChapsGuide

I'll check it out!

Real Men Real Style and The Chap's Guide are both still giving good content!

Another channel you might enjoy is Hemingway Jones, the “nom de plume” of a Boston area banker who focuses on fountain pens, journaling, heritage clothes, history and literature, etc.

The Drinker is a hoot! You might also look at Space Ice, who reviews absolutely horrible action flicks. His takedowns of Steven Segal are priceless. I’m a former semi-pro musician and my two brothers have been full-time pros, so I’ve been in and out of various music scenes since my youth. It’s great to keep up with Rick Beato, a producer who seems to know every jazz and rock player of any consequence, and with Chris Buck’s “Friday Fretworks.” He isn’t just a guitar geek - he writes his own music for every edition, and he’s breathtakingly good. And for politics, law and international affairs. The Silicon Curtain and Anna from Ukraine. Glenn Kirschner’s “Justice Matters.”

Great to see The Critical Drinker get a recommend here, Ash. I've been a fan of his for years and 100% agree with your comment that his reviews are spot-on.

Your assessment of the style channels is spot on. In fact, yours is now the one I watch regularly and aligns most closely with my own style viewpoint. Well done.

That is why I like The chaps guide, balanced and practical. Not into luxury or impractical, extreme menstyle, which could echoe some egotistical attitude. Which in reality, people around does not care too much to what we wear. What matter is we show respect in the way we dress and not to draw much attention to ourself I also appreciate Brock McGoff, ideal for my age, early 30s

I agree with you on RMRS and the style OG. For a woman's perspective on men's style I recommend Mens Fashioner

I currently like TGV The Urban Gentleman's channel, he is more into watches these days but when he does a formal or smart casual sartorial video, they are usually more my style as i'm into a similar style of clothing, I own a suit but I don't wear it often usually opting for well fitted items that include dark dress jeans, Rollnecks, chukka boots, stylish coats like Sports Jackets, Burberry Trenchcoats, Harringtons, wool overcoats, stylish travel luggage and of course, the appropriate timepiece it has helped me go from dressing like a teenage boy well into my 30's to now age appropriate and well put together while feeling comfortable in the clothes i'm in. So I get a lot of sartorial ideas from TGV, I love the Gentlemens Gazette also, as I love the clothing education on the formal, but that world is a little out of my comfort zone just yet.

All your men's style channels are ones I watch, along with Parisian Gentleman, who is probably also dealing more with bespoke than you tend to, but he also does a lot on MTM work that is more affordable. I learn a lot from Hugo, from Gentleman's Gazette's history work, and from RMRS. Thanks for the other video categories you covered as well, which I don't tend to watch as much- some new things to check out!

“Simon a bloke in the woods”is a very down to earth enjoyable outdoors British channel. I just came across your channel and subscribed. I enjoy your content.

Dry creek wrangler channel is my favorite 😊

I follow mostly other fitness channels who have supported my channel. I have youtube premium which I use mostly for music and my wife does my workouts without interruption from adverts. I do have other interests such as 'style', hence I come on here. I will be developing my channel to cover more my age group but not just about exercise but how to live your best life in your 60s and beyond. So that is a bit lifestyle-ish type topic. "Don't let youtube get a grip of you". Spot on.

Gentelman's Gazette and RMRS are great teachers when it comes to menswear history and the quality of certain brands and items. Some more modern style channels that I recently found are: Harry Has - likeable guy, modern aesthetics This Is Antwon - his style is let's say an acquired taste (he's into techwear and that kind of stuff), but he does fashion meta-analysis like no one else on KZread (as far as I know). Very insightful stuff Oh and they're both British

AskOkey is a good one for tailoring.

I like and admire Sven Raphael Schneider and Hugo Jacomet, theirs were the first channels I saw about fine menswear and etiquette and instinctively felt a great attraction. They really are top-notch. I cannot stand Kirby Allison´s pretentious approach. I believe he is "up himself" and it shows. I never liked snobs, particularly those who like to show-off on YT. I do agree 100% with you regarding Antonio Centeno; his enthusiasm is infectious and genuine. About history, and particularly British military history, you will never get anything better than "The History Chap", another excellent channel is "Redcoat History". They are not only packed with information but their stories are told with passion, great knowledge and wit. As always, is a pleasure to listen to you. All the best.

Parisian Gentlemen of course, with Hugo and Sonya. Vladimir Riche is very good - US-based and on point with classic men's style. I agree with most of your choices and will check out the ones I'm not familiar with. Regards Tony

Thanks for sharing!

On the learning side, two channels which might be up your street are Primitive Skills, which demonstrates the very basic survival skills, and Modern History TV as he covers many facets of history alongside jousting, medieval armour, and the like. The latter does not publish frequently as he's very busy as a CEO.

My favorite is the Chap’s Guide! It’s the most genuine!

While I am not British, I have lived and worked in the UK including a stint in a Home Office service. Being Irish I feel this channel has a shared type of heritage i.e the grass in the background - I see that with the hatchet, paddy cap and jacket - I can feel the air, smell the grass etc. Felton is great. One of my guilty pleasures is watching old crimewatches on Redcards channel!

Thanks for this video. Some of your suggestions I already know, but several are new to me. You have a new subscriber.👍

Another enjoyable view Ash, noted some links. Thanks

I let out a chuckle within a few minutes of this vid.... If i find one of these style gurus that are shouting and jumping about... off it goes, you noticed them too. I mainly watch shoe restoration/repair fellows. Trenton & Heath, Tring shoe repair, Bido's leatherworks and the Elegant Oxford, we have the Brighton fellow Bespoke Addict doing restoration here in the UK too. I know what your saying about Kirby, but, I will say that some of his videos that show the bespoke processes in the UK are absolutely fascinating and I believe of almost historical importance. David Saxby is worth watching for knowledge of the old tailors... some of whom still work. Also Anton Browne does great videos on second hand proper shoes he buys... his voice is wonderful.

As I am hiking oriented person (and channel), it is funny to see a style video talking about outdoors :-). All the best!

Great topic Ash. Couldn't agree with you more about Mark Felton. Amazing channel

Love your channel primarily due to the British vibe which I like so much, when it comes to tailoring I definitely watch all the channels that you mentioned but can give special mention to Sartorial talks and ask Okey as I find their advice on men's clothing very relevant to what I learnt over the years. Keep up the good work.

Great video! I enjoy the exact same channels and share the same sentiment in regards to Alpha m, Kiry Allison and the Gentelman's gazette.

Ash, I really enjoy your channel and get quite a bit from your talks. This video is particularly timely for me. You and Dry Creek Wrangler School are two of my favorite channels. I'll check out some of the others you've mentioned here. Thank you!

Just discovered the channel and like what I found while looking around. What I wasn't expecting was a recommendation for Drinkers channel. I knew I'd like it here LOL

Great video, as usual! I like your style and, unlike some other channels, I can't imagine ever unsubbing or ignoring a video from you. So, I enjoy content from TGV of the Urban Gentry, Stridewise, Carl Murawski has a fantastic channel that goes from work wear and outdoors and I would say skirts the edges of classy wear. One channel I love is Felix Immler's who is the King of Swiss Army Knives and content. I also love Mark Felton's videos! I also subscribe to Ancient Architects, anything history is always interesting to me. I feel that a gentleman, urban or rural, should be well read and informed on many subjects. I am always looking for new channels and encourage new content. I do like channels who's hosts are enthusiastic about their subject and leave the negativity behind. I am looking forward to what you will bring us this year!

For style related channels I started and remain with GG which has the deepest knowledge in men's wear history (admittedly it was better before sadly) and remain long time viewer of the chaps guide. Chaps guide is unique as it also puts emphasis on self development in other words making a better self. Adding The Elegant Oxford for shoes. Personally I don't like the commanding military tone of RMRS. Might suit American audience well. Sartorial talks and Kirby Alison are exclusivist, only for the rich and snobbish among themselves, from head to toe in a bespoke attire and no less. Left them very quickly to never return. Albeit you show rolex watches which is not for everyone but in an easy way unlike Teddy Baldassaire. In your case you remain down to earth for normal gents with a broad spectrum of topics. Continue Sir Ash your great work.

Another thumbs up for Hugo Jacomet. I also found Brian Sacawa/He Spoke Style helpful for his emphasis on versatility. Keep up the good work!

I watch at least 3 of these channels as well as yours obviously as part of my daily routine so excellent choices. I find it interesting how Jeff tends to incorporate street into classic wear such as a hoodie with a sport coat and so on. While most of the time I do prefer a sweater occasionally there's nothing wrong with a hoodie.

Some great channel suggestions in your video and in the comments Ash. A couple that I have recently discovered: David Saxby and Rampley & Co.

Hello Ash, I came across your channel by watching the British Dapper and I have to say that your videos are very interesting and informative. I also enjoy watching The Urban Gentry. He is a British/Italian who curently lives in the US. He initially started as a lifestyle channel, but now he mostly review watches. Although I cannot afford the majority of the watches he reviews, he also tends to combine history and culture in the mix, which makes it a very pleasant (at least for me...) experience. Take care! P.S. I agree with you in regards to Alpha m. 😅

Great video again! My first go to channel is _"The Chap's Guide"_ my second channel is RMRS, although Kirby Alison is OK, however this lessons are helpful (some of them), I prefer you ones to the tee! Jolly good show old chap! Keep up the great work that you do - The Chap's Guide and personal stuff!

The same way that there are only so many musical chords there are only so many items of clothing and dress codes (ignoring fast fashion & latest trends). Your channel plus the others you mention have been very helpful to me over the last couple of years as I've tried to improve my health and general style. There is a lot of repetition, conflicting advice (sometimes from the same creator) and confusion out there. We should not forget the entertainment factor here; I could watch/listen all day to someone tell me something they are passionate about, it is good for the soul. If I was given the choice of watching some reality TV show or a man restoring an old pair of leather shoes I think you know which it would be. Keep up the good work Ash!

Found your channel just recently. Can't be a coincidence that both of us enjoy the same content and especially Dry Creek Wrangler School. Therefore i will make sure to check in on your channel from time to time. :)

A lot of the style channels are American. I wonder if that's because we have gone so far down the casual route, that we need more help with style. Being an older gentleman (over 60), I tend to focus on the gentlemen that are older. I don't need style advice focused on kids.

Style is often thought of as a young man's game. Although as I get older I feel that both style and philosophy are wasted on the young.

Another great post Ash. Tring Shoe repairs is very entertaining. Dan the cobbler comes over very well and he's very skilled at his job. You also share the same music. You're intro is his shoe gluing theme 'let's get sticky' Drinker is always spot on. High peak autos is a great insight to car flipping - way better presenting than Top Gear or any TV channels. Justin Hawkins rides again - brilliant music/song analysis and deconstruction. Similar to Rick Beato. I find myself watching more KZread than TV of late. Chaps Guide is my current favourite - keep up the great content

I really agree with you on RMRS, GG and alpha.m . And thank you for directing me to criminolly! That's the kind of channel I've been looking for. I've been watching your videos pretty much since you started and it's great to see how your channel has grown and developed over the years.

I didn't make the list! 😭 I have also followed many of the ones you mentioned for many years. I've followed RMRS since his custom suit business was his main gig. Antonio is also a fellow Texan, so he has that going for him. Dry Creek Wrangler is another I also really enjoy. His deep, calm, wisdom is soul-soothing in a world of fast distractions.

Alex Costa is another one who has turned into a salesman. Dry Creek Ranger School is solid - so happy to hear you give him a shoutout.

Your description of Alpha.M was perfect, I stopped watching him around the same time I started watching you. I have found a lot of the gentlemanly channels on KZread, present company excluded, have become... extremely bizarre and pretentious. It's become harder and harder to find easy to watch and enjoy content without being sold something, or told some sort of odd viewpoint.

Great content

Ash a fantastic video yet again. I will of course take a look at the channels you mention I don't follow. An opinion on Hugo Jacomet of Sartorial Talks would be welcome. To add to the point on the GG and Kirby Alison shops for European based customers postage and import taxes make the goods more expensive than those purchased from Europe. Also when manufactured in Europe - sent to US warehouse - sent to European customer it needs to be considered the environmental impact of the purchase of that's something you actively consider.

Yes!!! Critical Drinker IS the ultimate in sarcastic review!! He also pulls zero punches in where things go wrong in entertainment... Might I recommend 'The History Guy' channel as well... He's enlightened me to no end.. especially in obscure and little know facts of historical events.

The Chaps Guide is my go-to Gentleman's lifestyle channel. I cannot find anything that matches more closely my aspirations, outlook on life, and style choices. On a tangent, I would thoroughly recommend the Joolz Guide channel, which is a guy doing walking tours around all areas of London. He digs up some incredible facts and history on all areas that he visits (including the Floris shop recently!). Also, honourable mentions to The Urban Gentry (watch reviews) and Hemingway Jones (fountain pens and journals).

Another excellent chap related channel is The Shoe Man. Richard knows his stuff & gives thorough reviews of high-end shoes & boots.

Great video with some interesting recommendations. One channel I watch is called '40 over fashion'. Its by an American KZreadr who seems quite down to earth and respectful. So his videos are usually quite interesting.

Interestingly, I subscribe to a few of the channels you refer to. RMRS, GG and Mark Felton are go-to channels for me, along with Hemmingway Jones, a small American channel to do with pens and journaling. Most others are watch and motorcycle related. However, this is by far my favourite and is the only one which I patronise...

After watching your videos _(out door ones)_ I thought your studio lights were natural that is the sun!

I do agree about alpha m. Perhaps he's less about style and more lifestyle, almost a toxic presence. Kirby is an interesting gentleman and his channel, while generating a lot of money, does spend a lot of money, as you mentioned. He too has a product line, and that was how he started out online. I feel you are right about GG, and even their regular style guides do lean on the eccentric and eclectic side. I cant speak on the quality of their products as i can't make the financial commitment. Antonio's rampant marketing is simply what one can expect from an american embracing capitalism. Great content too, I do agree. I have only seen a few of the british dapper's videos but he seemed a well meaning and knowledgeable gentleman.

I have discovered several of the channels that you discuss here. Gentleman's Gazette was probably one of the first, but I don't watch it as much now. I still watch Real Men Real Style, but I sometimes find his presentation off-putting. Another channel I find myself watching lately is Vladimir Riche. He usually talks about styles that are beyond where I see myself going, but he has a very cool presentation and is strangely entertaining to me. Not trying to sound sycophantic, but I very much enjoy watching your videos, Ash. Great presentation; I love the laid-back casual Britishness of it. Always interesting content. I was interested to hear you talking about sailing in the Baltic as part of a military yacht club. I think I know the one. I was in the Canadian Army in the 1980s as a tank crewman and served 4 years stationed in Germany (West Germany at the time). I was once offered an opportunity to "sail to Denmark"... which sounded too good to be true. It turned out that it was a military sailing course run by the British Army through the British Kiel Yacht Club operating in Kiel, Germany. I spent several days learning the ropes (literally) as part of a yacht crew and the final activity was an overnight sail from Kiel to a small fishing port in Denmark. It was an amazing experience, and I enjoyed it very much. John Turcott was my instructor, and I still have my course certificate which states, "Cpl Ewart was surprised at the rigorous course programme. Although not particularly interested in sailing, he worked very hard and was a valued member of the crew. He was never seasick." I'm quite proud of that. At one point during our voyage, John and I were the only ones on the boat who were functioning... everyone else was hanging over the sides barfing. LOL

Hello Sir, Thank you for your insights and recomendations. If i may be bold, i would like to make a recomendation myself. Perun is a channel that i watch every week. This Australian chap makes a weekly powerpoint presentation about army economics and thoughtfull analyzes the war in (primary) Ukraine. It takes about a hour per video but is verry worth my time. It grows my understanding of things. A bushcraft chap that i also prefer is Mr Paul Kirtley. As always thank you for your wonderfull content. Greetings from Belgium.

I am a fan of Perun and value his insights into the world of military analytics. Highly recommended.

Excellent video! I also loved Alpha M at one point but not any more. Watching his channel is like watching one big ad campaign. I also still enjoy Gentlemen's Gazette for the most part. I am not a huge fan of Kirby's channel as he is just really extreme.

Productivity Game offers great summaries of the current self improvement books.

Your channel is the best. Alpha M is too shouty. RMRS for me is a quality channel.

Ash, I totally agree with your comments here. I stopped watching Alpha M quite rapidly. It is amazing how many people like to be shouted at - not me. Chris (British Dapper) is always an enjoyable watch. RMRS is also enjoyable to watch, along with Style OG. Gent Z is putting out some good content as well. Keep up your good work!

Life is like a roll of toilet paper the closer to the end it gets the faster it goes. Enjoy your chats keep it real.

Interesting. I see RMRS as a pure commercial channel. The polished scripted team work puts me off because it reminds me of TV production.

Wow! It seems I'm already following five of these channels already! Perhaps I'm a real chap after all...?

Yes you are!

I enjoy The Critical Drinker as well. Usually spot on. Real Men Real Style has been handy as well.

Mark Felton's channel is great! I am glad you mentioned it.

Absolutely!

A little surprised that Jocko didn’t make your list.

In addition to the Chap's Guide, of course, I also enjoy RMRS. The GG does have some rather esoteric content, but they have A LOT of content, so while some of it is out there, I don't think it's become predominant. Jeff the Style OG seems to always give solid advice, even if his style is a bit more contemporary than mine. I enjoy watching Kirby Allison, though I agree much of it is just fantasy. I enjoy "quality, craftsmanship and tradition" as much as the next fellow, but I'm not Thurston Howell III either. Alpha M has become insufferable. Not only has he devolved into a loudmouth huckster, but let's face it...the first rule of being a man is that if you feel you have to announce to the world that you're the alpha...you're not. Also, some smaller random channel will occasionally pop into my feed, and there's some good stuff. A lot of it is geared towards younger gents/chaps, which I am not, so the content may not be particularly relevant to me, but it's good to see men at every stage in their life trying to put their best self forward.

Have you pencilled in a month when you will release an update on your watch journey and particularly the new direction to which you alluded to recently?
