The topic indexing in the timer at the bottom of the screen is a nice feature for fast browsing/viewing

I watched this video with a tear in my eye. My father was a tailor and this was his life. Being a child of the 60’s I lived in jeans. I believe he was looking down at me and thinking I finally grew up!

[BUMFORDYO]

I dig this channel. I dont dress like this at all unless its a formal event; im more of a streetwear kinda guy or "peasant" as yall would call it lol. However I still love listening to you guys (Raphael, Preston, Kyle) get on camera and just talk in depth at length about getting fly. Yall be on here gettin supa fly, talking about the nuance that goes into it, like nobody else. Im big into fashion, albeit a different style entirely, but I still respect the swag, attention to detail, and overall look of it. Super genuine.

Preston is just a breath of fresh air. I never realized how much so until the world devolved into chaos. His thoughtfulness and steady voice remind me that there is still a normal and good world out there somewhere. Loved the list, particularly the jacket/blazer explanations. Cheers, Preston.

[ivanlouisjbarrantes]

Surprisingly I am pretty much familiar with all these terms. Watching this channel truly has expanded my knowledge in classic menswear.

[robbymayer]

I'm a proud owner of over a dozen accessories from the gentleman's gazette shop and they will definitely set you apart and make you stand out as the best dressed in the room! Not to mention the quality of the items is too notch!

Thank you for all of your amazing content gentleman's gazette!

[not_kk]

Although I'm 14 years old, I follow your advice for when I will be old enough to look dapper and elegant

Beautifully written and presented. I especially enjoy the episodes with Preston; his fluid way of speaking and precision of language is both pleasing and engaging. His passion for this subject makes him both a great educator and a salesman for the Fort Belvedere products.

[corporate.security]

I use pink and green all the time in the summer, nice to see someone else using it too.

[rodrigomagnabosco]

As it is difficult to find such quality content in portuguese, being able to learn with the channel really helps me in my menswear career here in Brazil. And I felt proud to know most of the terms, that I also learned here

[mr.flamenco]

Never heard someone so educated like this guy.

[KirkFellFarm]

This is without question, my favourite channel on YouTube. Another fantastic episode.

[krunoslavkovacec]

Thanks for explaining. Also, that tie looks great on you Preston.

[delll]

i love how you put the timeline neat and organized. thank you

[invin]

Preston is on point these days! Such a good channel. Thank you for all the great content.

[timmz]

Found out about you guys just receltly, being in love with classic men's styles myself, I must congratulate you on your knowledge and effort that you put into creating these videos. Keep up the good work and do one about what classic car should every gentleman own or at least aspire to. (apologies if you have already done that one)

[madsborup]

I gotta say, Preston looks right handsome in that ensemble.

[SartorialStyles]

In the German dubbing of Kingsman, they actually kinda corrected their mistake. They say "Oxfords, nicht Budapester", which actually translates to "Oxfords, not Derbys". Don't think that was intentional, but still kinda interesting.

[conquistadoramericano]

man ..your videos are really put together.I can't stop watching
