A video on “Why Did Men Stop Wearing Ascots?“ would be fantastic.

Love the content, but I find it kinda funny how close these guys are sitting to each other 😅

[LuzTheHuman]

So refreshing getting a insight of the Behind the Camera Crew. Always nice to see you guys. This was indeed a very nice Video. I liked id!

[checkandmate]

Can you guys cover neckerchiefs at some point, since I find them vary versatile as a casual neckwear for summer especially. Unfortunately neckerchiefs do not get much coverage, and it would be interesting to see possible combinations, history and tips for neckerchiefs

Respect from India. Please bring back the intro music.

7:29 best shot ever on Gentleman's Gazette😅

[DubbleM]

Love the insight.
May I recommend though, repositioning the chairs?
Having both gentlemen in profile looks awkward on camera. Maybe a 3/4 view might look better?

Love to see GG trying out different topics and formats. This was very refreshing. I'm curious if you guys will ever tackle cars one day, I remembered it coming in a conversation only once when Kyle joined and had his interview.

I really enjoyed the video Gents :) very interesting and informative, especially to someone who knows little about photography as myself

[bngr_bngr]

Them sitting so close to each other made me uncomfortable. It reminded me how car salesmen like to get close when discussing a deal.

[craft-o-matic]

Yes! This was great guys! I am toying with the idea of beginning a journey into the world of oil painting, in particular, portrait painting. I think much of your work is worthy of painting. ❤
Thank you!
Have a wonderful week!

What about a video on breaches, plus fours/twos, knickerbockers, and similar short pants? I love what you guys do, keep up the good work!

[tomasrobertson]

Great choice of watch on both especially Grahams beautiful Casio. Also a very helpful video to me since looking back and referencing my own previous outfits is a big part of improving my personal style👍

[HistoryFan-kvms]

Thank you for the videos they help me alot

[pabloandreshernandez]

Fantastic video!! Congratulations! I wish can watch this video in Spanish!! 🙏🙏🙏

[iainmc]

I'm presuming both guys were 'in studio' and it wasn't a composite shot due to them being elsewhere. If so then the straight on symmetrics is a bit uncomfortable. Not sure if the drinks trolley is really these guys style either. Basically what I'm saying is unless there was good videographic reasons for the layout something more 'informal' may be more visually appealing.
Other than that I think the guys did great.

[jonasis]

Can you make a reaction video of Geroge Harrison's outfit in the Get back series

[wojtek]

if I may make a suggestion, the chairs seems a little too close together and strangely turned. Maybe try turning them more towards the camera and further apart so it does not seem like the room is so small with such big chairs haha

great conversation nonetheless

[suel]

do you guys think propercloth is good when it comes to classic high rise trousers or is the brand good in general? I would also love to hear your recommendations on other made-to-measure brands.

[suel]

Have you guys ever tried the Collaro brand from singapore?
