What I love about these episodes is just the subtlety and contrast which both Prof and Pete bring to the discussion.
Prof is very youthful, robust and yet classically regal while Pete is very reserved, sort of the classic British gentleman.
Judging from the views, the algorithm is really doing these videos dirty.
Hope the episodes continue to be filmed to further educate and entertain.
Thank you both and all of the AskOkey Team!

Hearing Peter say "shoutout" is hilarious! PROFF and Peter bringing the ASMR. Always Dapper. Cheers

I am fascinated by these gentlemen. I have never seen time travellers so comfortable with current technologies. Jokes apart, the craftsmanship in these pieces is amazing!

New to this channel and instantly subscribed. Gentlemen, consider that your content can and will inspire a new era of gentlemen. Keep the bar high and the men will step forward.

I feel like Peter hit the nail on the head near the end. Due to modern culture I have never considered wearing a formal suit. After watching these videos however, and learning about the possibilities and accessibility, I will 100% be buying a suit 👌.

It is beautiful that well made clothes stand the test of time and still look right. I personally have a pair of plus four trousers from 1929, and they are still in amazing condition. Good clothing will stand the test of time!

I absolutely love the incredibly classy community that Pete & the PROFF have built here

[rohitsinha]

Brilliant this entire podcast gives of such gentlemanly vibes and that spirit of discussion that the new ones lack ....

[ki_sweet]

This feels like PBS in the best possible way. Educational and Nostalgic.

Okey, you are such an inspiration to me. I am a 22 year old male and thought all hope was lost for (my) style. You have completely changed my perspective and I have gained so much knowledge. Thank you!.

[caloalfredartoflife]

It is always wonderful to see well dressed gentlemen in your program. I am over 70 years old, and with limited possibilities I try to dress as good as possible.
You give me always new ideas.❤😉

[StinkzMehaff]

I think what is so easy to miss about both Pete and Prof is that they both take care of their grooming. Pete always has sensational hair and both have very well taken care of skin and a shave. I would be fascinated to hear some opinions on general skincare, presuming you haven't put together a video about that already.
Tremendous as always!

Just love the detail you bring to menswear. Absolutely fascinating! Love listening to you both talk ❤

8:02 Wow, that suit is 80 years old..pure class.

[mattyjmar]

This guideline comes at a perfect time. Inspired by some of your earlier videos, I've started planning on having some formal evening dress made.

[murrynathan]

Live from studio apartment number 1. I love this channel!

[mtonyjr]

Yes, Peter... we do refer to it as a "shout-out." Love this channel

[jasonfernee]

Absolutely love this channel and the knowledge that goes with it. Just so you know, during this video, it was mentioned that generally only undertakers wear the morning suit, but I can tell you the morning suit is worn by English Freemasons to all meetings and the attire is strictly worn. I even wore my Lock and Co Bowler last month at St James's in London. I think it is important to be smart.At our Annual Ladies nights, evening Dinner suits are worn. I adore Okey's morning suit here with the double breasted look.

[Sera_Vaz]

Your voice is absolutely mesmerising! For some reason you remind me of Michael Caine. His beautiful role as Alfred had this distinct identity and exuberance built into the character. You represent a stylish sensibility sustained over time with a comprehensive solemn expression. The ease of posture sets a premise and promise for subtle lineament!

I like that Proff gives us a smile when he looks at the camera.
