Gentleman's Gazette

00:00 Introduction

For us at the Gentleman’s Gazette, we believe that a gentleman should not talk about others negatively, especially on internet platforms, such as reaction videos. However, we think it’s great to be better than your previous self.

On the Gentleman’s Gazette, we decided to leave every video up to show you how we progressed from the very beginning to where we are today. So, why react to 19 Thing Men Should Never Wear? Well, on the one hand, it’s a very polarizing title. On the other hand, the video is three years old, so things have changed and hopefully, I have evolved, too.

01:30 "19 Thing Men Should Never Wear" Reaction

Overall, we can see why this is probably the video that has the most dislikes but at the end of the day, it still has more likes than dislikes but it was a very kind of polarizing video that got people to react, and maybe because of that, it’s still popular and youtube recommends it because they realize that people just react to it and a reaction is maybe better than no reaction.

From a gentlemanly point of view, that’s certainly a little too extreme and if I’d film it again, we will be a little softer in the words, a little more accepting, and open but at the core, the suggestions we made would still hold true today and to finish the video off, let’s go with another quote, this time, from Oliver Cromwell, “He who stops getting better has stopped being good.” We firmly believe that.

34:57 Outfit Rundown

[quycksylver]

I loved the self-roast over the overuse of the word "dapper."

[cristianciarlo]

Noooo ! Please don’t re-do the intro, I really enjoy the theme !!!

[ianbutler]

Sven,
I respect that you don't take yourself too seriously and can have some fun at your own expense.
Well done.

[drkrik]

Began to watch it, DON'T REDO INTRO, IT'S PERFECT.

[OzymandiasRex]

The peasant comment is gold. Every time I see someone dressed awfully I hear him say "that just makes you look like a peasant". ^^

[OliviaWenya]

When you suddenly realise how long you've been following this channel....

[fdw]

The way Sven grimaces when showing the picture of cargo shorts is hilarious

[jknw]

The 19 things you should never wear was actually the first video I watched on this channel.

[robertschneider]

I bought a pair of alpargatas after seeing your video. My kids saw me in them, and said to me, "OMG dad, what are those hideous things on your feet, what's wrong with you?" I love the shoes just based on their reaction.

[lifeisstrnge]

If Raphael were a pirate - he would be known as

Dapper Squinteye

[JohnLee-vlqk]

Sven, I wouldn’t change a thing. My wife, on the other hand is convinced that I’m going through a midlife crisis, because I’m dressing much nicer and wearing better shoes. I’m 40 now, and I dress like a man. Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[NvmBrO]

Really appreciating the uptick in humor that seems to be creeping into the production lately, this was a good idea to react to a past video. Awesome outfit today!

[Slynkee]

I feel like a lot of the people who criticized the original video were failing to understand that your channel is strictly about classic, gentlemanly fashion and mannerisms. Everything on Gentleman's Gazette is approached from that perspective. If that's not their style, than the videos on your channel aren't made for them. There are plenty of other channels on men's fashion that may be more appropriate to their personal style.

[conorbakhuizen]

Love the new editing with the out-takes, slow-mo and funny bits, makes for a much more entertaining viewing experience whilst still being informative and interesting. Keep it up 👍🏻

[skaerber]

The quote about constant improvement is an excellent capstone to the theme of this video. One way to continue improvement is to look back at ones self and see what you would do now with the knowledge you have gained. Great video, keep up the good work.

[Chokkan]

That was great, and really shows that you guys don't take yourselves too seriously. I think I agree with most of the things you mentioned and only wear these things when I'm lounging around at home. Your socks are too nice for that!

Also, thanks for that fan-service extended crotch shot at the end. :o

[harrybate]

I would love to see an updated video called "19 things a modern Gentleman should stay away from"

[inakinahuelsantosangel]

The bag or briefcase is only usable in the USA or Europe, here in Argentina they always get stolen, most of those who need to commute to work in suit go with a backpack but they put it in front or we wear them with the zippers against us to avoid getting stolen.

[colinmurphy]

The word “peasant” means something different than a medieval pauper to younger people. I don’t know how familiar you are with “Hype beasts”, but they’re obnoxious young people who wear nothing but designer clothes. They re-popularized the word by calling anyone who can’t afford designer goods “peasants” in a very degrading way. This may have contributed to any recourse you got for saying people looked like peasants, people may have been associating you with the hype-beasts

[SirKahuna]

I really enjoy the comedic additions to these videos, it makes the watching experience very enjoyable!
