Hello James. When i was younger i used to dress well and i considered myself a gentleman. Then i got depressed and became fat and overweight and stoped caring about my presentation. A few months ago i came across you're channel and you've inspired me. Before i start dressing well again ive got to lose some serious weight but i just want to tell you you've inspired me and i look up to you

The importance of what you are doing with this channel cannot be overstated, I applaud 👏 you young man…

[kikopcoutinho_]

The channel evolution is remarkable. Love the content

[floyd]

I'm getting a divorce, so i used this transitional phase to re-create myself... hence how i found your channel.
I quit smoking,
Hit the gym hard (definitely see results),
adding/upgrading my wardrobe style,
Started getting into fragrances (Monteblac Explorer is my signature)
& kept the same attitude/charisma.
Cheers 🍻 (10 years sober)

Love your channel. I'm 65, and pretty much live by all these standards. My role was my father. I watched him dress and live by his rules...Never leave the house unless your hair is combed, applied a splash of cologne, and you are appropriately dressed. When you enter a room and own it, your competition will give up. Tip well for good service and always be a gentleman. My success is directly related to these rules. I've never had much competition and always left a lasting impression. Keep up the great work. I never miss a video.

BROTHER! Those before and after photos over the past 2 years are fantastic! You should be very happy with the effort you have put in so far!

Refreshing to bring back timeless classic masculinity in a directionless upside world

[lawrencelewis]

One to consider is William Powell in the Thin Man movies. He exudes elegance and class and makes it look easy.

[marciocorrea]

Excellent video. Congrats. Sharp, focused, straighforward.

[johnbrock]

One little detail that you have exactly right. Standing up, your jacket is buttoned, sitting down it’s unbottoned. Exactly right.

[maddogpopp]

thank you for your great advice . You are neat and tidy and spot on

[madnessbydesignVria]

I always liked David Niven - Smooth, sophisticated, but always with a comedic edge... :)

[brettwarren]

James… The world needs more of what you are providing!

Roger Moore walking around Harlem in Live and Let Die. Completely out of place with his formal attire but just exudes cool.

[IwantanAstonMartin__]

My classically masculine role model is without a doubt Dean Martin; he has my exact personality, and held a lot my ideals.

[sixtenjohansson]

Cool, calm and collected goes a long way. And Michael Caine is a really übercool gentleman.

[Infrmatix]

I really like and appreciate the outfit breakdown at the end. Please do that every time :)

[salvoix]

I actually saw a video of a woman expressing that they appreciate hygienic men, so I'm certain you are absolutely correct.

I've been following your channel the last weeks and all I can say is thank you, I've been looking for a good guide on this gent style for the last month and was struggling a little bit because of the amount of information on the internet regarding the topic from so many differente sources, but your channel really has it all sorted, from clothing, manners, etc; and I truly appreciate how you approach it as a lifestyle rather than a fad. Keep up the good work, this content truly is an inspiration for us young men.

You have picked classic male film leads to demonstrate how proper any gentlemen can and should be. You are very genuine and a class act, lad.
