Great video but just a correction on the watch section, a steel bracelet does not make a diver's watch, as there are plenty of other styles of watches with steel bracelet, and original divers actually often have a rubber or nylon strap. What makes a diver's watch is the high water resistance, luminous markers and hands and a timing rotating bezel.

Great video. Its interesting how often were told "looks dont matter" as children, but as soon as we are in adulthood, we immediately see how beneficial it is to maintain an image. Mem who are well groomed, wearing the right clothes, and are in shape have so many social advatages. Its a silly game, but it would be sillier not to partake

Man, I really loved what you said about being present and putting down the damn phone. Not only is it polite to give people your attention, but it also opens up spontaneous social opportunities

[douglasdietz]

Spot on. Good manners and presentation is important. Self respect and respect toward others is the mark of a gentleman.
Cheers

Leather shoes alone elevate any outfit and improves your image so you don't look like a kid

[elizabethannegrey]

Excellent. I’m ancient enough that in my formative years this was part of our upbringing.
Along with the casual lifestyle our manners have atrophied.

[coryburns]

My first big switch is footwear. No more flip flops or sneakers. Nice strat, by the way!

[lohan-]

Good evening,
Leather shoes look better than sneakers in every situation, that's what I've learned from this.

[ratingsbyringo]

Great comment about looking people in the eye...also I need to add grey chinos to my attire.

[chelin]

Thank you for bringing to the front the importance of dressing appropriately and the use of good manners; so lost in the present with profanity and vulgarity being the norm. What a breath of fresh air! 💙

At 45 I’m a long way from a young guy, but unless I’m working the garden, turning a wrench or doing other dirty work, Dockers have become my every day pants year round. I really love the vintage style so I always pair them with a long sleeve button up, suspenders and fedora

What I learned from this video? Everything you say in this video and your other videos about manners, behavior, clothing, appearance and inner attitude (character) is correct. Normally this should be conveyed to a young person through their parents' home, relatives, good friends of the parents, kindergarten, schools, dance schools and sports clubs, but unfortunately this is no longer the case in many cases today. It's hard and uncomfortable to say no in education and to uphold your own values. I only learned many of these characteristics when I was in my mid-twenties and realized that I wasn't getting anywhere socially. 35 years later I have to realize that, on the one hand, good manners and honest behavior have helped me a lot in my life, but on the other hand, the level has fallen sharply today. The good thing about it is what used to be taken for granted: young people with good manners and determination immediately stand out as positive ones in the gray crowd and are sought after by all employers and showered with good work. On the one hand, it is so easy to ask the old and successful what they value in young people and on the other hand, the introduction of smartphones has made young people seem to have forgotten how to communicate with respect. Valuable knowledge has never been as easily accessible as it is today! A lack of good manners automatically closes doors for one's own future, and young people don't even know that these doors even exist.

Add a little at a time and you'll be amazed at how good you look, especially when tailored.
I am actually about to buy my first pair of chinos... can't wait.

Hi from Brisbane, Australia - Only recently stumbled across your channel, but do enjoy and you most certainly do get the nod of approval from me on most points made. When I look around, or go out, it's true that most guys from their appearance simply either don't know, or don't care how to dress in a more masculine, stylish and polished way. Baggy cargo shorts, printed t-shirts, sneakers everywhere, and even on blokes in their 40's and above !! As for mature men carrying cheap nylon backpacks like a schoolboy on his way to school? Please, give me strength....

[edsonpacheco]

The only time I wear sweats in public is if there's an emergency, and i font have time to change, or if it's late at night and im walking across the street to get a snack from the nearby 7-11

[TCSporsche]

THANK YOU!!! glad somebody finally says it.

[Chrisaboutit]

Such an underrated channel.
PS also wearing a Seiko, best bang for your buck watches!

[TheLemon]

I live in Florida so usually it's impossible to dress nice without suffocating yourself, but when I worked in real estate, I had to change it up. I wore those boots you showed and it reminded me that girls really did like them, they asked about them all the time. I forgot about that until now lol

[miguelangelperez]

I’ll need a lot of money to purchase all leathers stuff . But, I totally agree this turns your style up to the next level
