We’ll talk about insoles – how it is attached to the last, how it is cut, how it is shaped and how the channels are added so the shoe comes together as a whole. 00:39 What Are Insoles?Insoles are the heart of the shoe providing connecting point between uppers and outer soles and are essential for the comfort and structure of the overall shoe.Now, that’s true for bespoke shoes, but the vast majority of men’s shoes and even men's dress shoes off the rack have low-quality insole. For my soles, Amara is using JR, or Johann Rendenbach leather.03:20 A Word on Liners04:16 Beginning the Insoles05:17 Tacking & Tying the Insoles to the Last07:15 Trimming the Excess LeatherNow that the lasts are “gift wrapped,” they have to rest, the insole has to dry, and at the end of the process, it will have the exact shape of the bottom and the last. Once Amara leaves the shoes to dry for several days, it’s time to trim the leather.09:17 Shaping the Instep Your shoemaker will likely reference the measurements just so they get everything right. Amara applies water to the leather so she can carefully shape the area of the instep. She uses glass instead of sandpaper because it is faster and more efficient and, therefore, the shoe will cost less.11:43 Softening, Finishing & Inspecting the EdgesDuring this work, you may end up with sharp edges that could penetrate the lining later, which is why Amara softens them, so it won’t be an issue later on. The tool she uses here is called an “edger.”13:03 Creating the HoldfastIt’s time to make the holdfast, which refers to the portion of the insole next to the channel. It has been carefully carved out and is perforated with holes.17:29 ConclusionNow that the insoles of the last are fully channeled, we can put the upper onto the last but that will come in our next video!

With calfskin and suede being some of the most commonly used in the manufacture of leather goods and exotic skins such as crocodile or alligator leather commanding extremely high prices. But there’s one type of leather that is becoming increasingly less common and therefore more expensive: Peccary leather.01:00 What is Peccary Leather?Peccary leather comes from the Peccary animal. They are a hoofed, pig-like mammals, reaching a medium size of about 35 to 52 inches in length when fully grown. Unlike cattle, the Peccary isn’t widely kept and bred for use in various industries like the meat trade. In order to protect from overhunting and harvesting, there are some extremely strict regulations about how and where Peccaries can be hunted.02:13 How is Peccary Leather Made?The first step is to harvest the skins either through the process of a scheduled hunt or through a hatchery center’s harvesting regimen. Next up, the skins are weighed to ensure even tanning. Drums are then used to tan the Peccary leather. After the skins have been tanned, they are then shaved down to an even thickness. When the skins are clean and hair free, they are left to dry. When the skins are dried, they are graded in numbers from I, II, III, and IV.05:38 Qualities of Peccary LeatherBecause Peccary leather commands high prices, it really pays to understand what you’re looking at, so you can spot the genuine article when shopping for Peccary goods: 1. Possibility of scars or blemishes2. Distinct three-pronged pore structure that is visible throughout the skin3. Matte finish. 4. Soft, supple feel5. Durability08:40 Best Uses for Peccary LeatherPeccary leather isn’t good for larger items or garments such as jackets or furniture pieces. Gloves are the number one use for Peccary leather. For decades, Peccary has been the undisputed king of glove leathers.You’ll find small leather goods is usually where Peccary leather can be seen – wallets, watch straps, keyrings, business card cases, and the like are candidates for perfect Peccary uses, as they allow for single pieces to be cut from the Peccary hides without having to patchwork them together09:10 Why Is Peccary Leather So Expensive?The manufacture of Peccary leather is not only strictly regulated, but on an extremely small scale when compared to other leather manufacturers. Great care must be taken throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the best possible grade of the hide is achieved. Once the leather arrives with the leather goods maker, it requires a highly skilled craftsperson to create a beautiful product. And if you take care of your Peccary leather goods, you likely won’t have to replace them.10:05 Outfit Rundown

You’ve probably noticed that most of those gloves are pretty utilitarian with bulky, thick bodies in bland colors like black or dark gray. These gloves are a far cry from the colorful, fine gloves that were once common in menswear.These colorful gloves were often called day gloves. Because they were worn during the day as part of regular attire and were distinct from formal evening gloves.01:35 → Gloves as Class Marker02:54 → Environmental Evolution04:07 → From Fashion to Functionality06:02 → Day Gloves Become Formal and Superfluous06:59 → Cost and Quality: Modern Glove Production 08:20 → Cartoons and Caricatures Featuring Gloves10:00 → Gendered Gloves10:39 The Decline in Overall Glove-WearingWe’ll briefly conclude by noting that the decline in the use of day gloves parallels a decline in other forms of non-utilitarian men's gloves. We’ll briefly conclude by noting that the decline in the use of day gloves parallels a decline in other forms of non-utilitarian men's gloves.11:10 Conclusion We have no intention of leaving you on a sad note as we conclude our examination of why men stopped wearing colorful day gloves. So to brighten the mood and add some color, we’ll say that just because colorful gloves have fallen out of favor doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear them! Not only can modern-day gloves keep your hands warm, but they also remain the perfect accessory for adding unexpected visual interest or a dash of color to any outfit. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much a pair of colorful day gloves can change the overall look of your wardrobe.12:17 Outfit Rundown

An Australian chemist and mountain climber who, in 1922, crafted a coat out of balloon cloth and eiderdown feathers. Fourteen years later, in 1936, another version of the puffer jacket was created by Eddie Bauer. The following year, a similar jacket with a down-dilled design was created by haute couture designer Charles James.Puffer jackets continued to enjoy popularity throughout the following decades.04:39 Can I Wear a Puffer Jacket if I Love Classic Style?After all, the type of classic style we all love has more to do with looking elegant, refined, and sophisticated. It’s rare to see anything chunky or obviously practical in the realms of classic style.06:16 Wearing a Puffer Jacket ClassicallyThink of things like a well-cut pair of denim jeans, where two items of clothing born out of practical needs complement each other well. And there are also sweaters and other knitwear items that you can consider pairing with a puffer jacket.Should denim be too casual for your tastes, then why not try another classic winter wardrobe staple; corduroy trousers. A pair of these sturdy pants will see you through the colder months very well, and the subtle ribbing would complement the lines present on a puffer jacket.08:10 Puffer Jacket Alternatives: Parka09:07 Waxed Cotton Jacket09:52 Duffle Coat10:28 So, Timeless or Trend?What is prevalent in the world of puffer jackets is their ability to be used as a way of being, well, trendy. Therefore, we’re going to have to rule that puffer jackets are a trend if you’re a lover of classic style.I’m curious, given what we’ve explored about puffer jackets today, where do you stand on the topic? Do you agree with our assessment that they’re a trend? e you on the side of timeless?11:39 Outfit Rundown

And when they are present, it seems as though they are not well understood or enforced. Likewise, social forces that previously mandated dress codes have largely disappeared. But does this progress necessitate the death of dress codes entirely?01:16 Dress Code HistoryWritten and unwritten codes of dress have existed for millennia but during the 19th century, seismic social change altered existing class structures. Knowledge of acceptable codes of dress became an especially favored tool for distinguishing “those who belong”.05:08 5 5 Key Factors: 1. Dress Codes Seem Confusing07:29 2. Modern Dress Code “Innovations” Are Confusing09:30 3. Dress Codes Are Perceived As Burdensome Or Unfair10:47 4. Dress Codes Are Becoming Harder To Enforce13:15 5. Dress Codes Are Perceived As Exclusionary14:40 What's Our Verdict?Despite all of these impediments, we here at the Gentleman’s Gazette can nevertheless say with complete confidence that dress codes do not deserve to die. Dress codes still serve many important functions in Classic Menswear. And those functions have evolved far beyond the exclusionary origins of dress codes. In summary, we believe that dress codes do deserve to exist today when they’ve used not as a tool to exclude but rather to help everyone at a gathering and join themselves more.19:15 Outfit Rundown

This process of thinning out the leather is especially important, where the leather is folded or where it’s layered. 02:46 BroguingAmara does the broguing by hand, which allows her to be more detailed, and consistent, and with a diamond brogue, it requires individual special attention.05:50 Readying the PiecesAmara puts the heel counter and the quarters together, then the quarters, and then the vamps. Then, she joins them around the facings. Essentially, it’s like creating a back of the uppers, and then a front, and then you combine them at last. 06:41 Backing Strips & PipingTypically, when you do broguing, you also have some kind of backing that will show underneath those holes that you just punched out. Sometimes, it can be leather, and other times it can be fabric. Some people even like to play with a contrasting fabric to be really loud. 09:34 Connecting the Uppers & FacingsIt’s time to handle the facings. These are the portion of the uppers where you find the lace holes in. The facings are particularly under a lot of stress, because that’s where you have your thin shoelaces, and some people may really pull hard in their laces.12:41 Working with the LiningBefore inserting the lining into the uppers, Amara made it all wet, which helps the lining adhere to the uppers to make sewing it together easier. Wetting the leather alone isn’t enough, so she actually uses some clips to hold it in place. Once everything is wet and clipped, though, it can be sewn.14:33 Preparing the Tongue & ThroatThe tongue is prepared in are very similar way as the facings. Distances are checked with a spacer, leather is punched, pads are cut out, and then skived. Amara then prepares the uppers. She draws a full line at the throat to ensure it has proper width and comfort.15:21 Punching the EyeletsOne of the most nerve-wracking parts of the whole thing. That’s because once it’s punched, it’s set. If it doesn’t align, back to square one. To reinforce the eyelets, you will sometimes see metal grommets. Sometimes, they’re just visible from the lining side, sometimes it is also visible from the outside, but that’s typically something you only find in more rugged, casual boots; not in a fine Oxford dress shoe.16:10 Attaching the TongueAmara prepares the tongue lining. Sometimes, you can also add a little bit of foam in between the lining and the tongue upper to provide extra cushioning and comfort. Then, she glues the lining and sews it, then trims off excess pieces after it’s sewn. 17:01 Stay StitchesThere are little stitches that are meant to hold movable parts of the shoe in place over time. Amara uses three; one in the middle and one on each side. Again, every shoemaker may be a little different here. You can see her using an awl to poke the central hole. 17:40 Checking the LacesFinally, we can add a shoelace and see if the eyelets were punched properly in the right place because if they don’t align, and the lines are not parallel or off, you’re not going to want to wear this shoe.

They have vicuña from the Andes or lotus flowers. They have a large range of fabrics with wool from New Zealand, and they manufacture their own goods. But, chances are, if someone mentions “high-end cashmere,” they will have heard of Loro Piana.02:15 The History of Loro PianaLoro Piana was a family and they began as wool merchants in the Piedmont region of Italy around 1814. At that time, they simply imported completed fabrics. They didn’t weave anything themselves.06:01 Loro Piana TodayLoro Piana remains to have two divisions. The one is fabric manufacturing, where they turn raw materials into fabric that isn’t either used by their own brand or sold outside. The other division is their garment and accessory manufacturing arm, where they use Loro Piana fabrics exclusively to create their own branded goods.07:30 The Loro Piana EthosIf you look at Loro Piana’s advertising, you can see it’s very simplistic, containing high-end photography in rare globe-trotting adventure locations with idealized clients that are supposed to invoke this lifestyle of a high-end jetsetter. Sometimes, they also feature the animals the fibers are derived from in the advertisements to portray themselves as an artisanal grade manufacturer that has a connection and that vertical integration between the animal and the final product.08:48 Loro Piana CashmereLoro Piana is the single largest cashmere buyer in the world and also is credited with popularizing the fabric with the masses. If you check out their website, you can see that they mentioned that they have local relationships with herders to ensure the highest quality or the finest cashmere. But, if you look for more detail, it’s hard to find specific herding standards.12:25 Loro Piana StylingWe think they usually have more of a neutral palette, lots of solids, and more contemporary, fashion-forward, not really classically-inspired style. Their outerwear is a bit more bright with a bit more color. We think the cut of their stuff isn’t particularly exciting or high-end.14:05 Cashmere Products and PriceIf you browse their website, you can see 100% cashmere products or blended products with silk, cotton, or wool. Overall, I would say the website provides more information than at, let’s say, Louis Vuitton, which is nice to see.18:14 Is Loro Piana Cashmere Worth It?In a nutshell, Loro Piana fabric is worth it if you want the best and you don’t care about money. It’s usually also worth it if you find it secondhand. But, if you go the extra mile and you want 100% cashmere, you probably also want the fit to be 100%, so chances are that you have to go custom anyway.23:47 Outfit Rundown

But as much as the British love to chat about how bad the weather is, Fall is usually a very enjoyable season to dress in -- neither too hot nor too cold.00:52 General Tip For Fall Footwear: 1. Materials make a difference02:05 2. Pay attention to the soles03:12 3. Pick the right boots for your situationApplying these tips to the boots in today’s video means you’re guaranteed to be the most Fall-ready you’ve ever been!03:36 Chukka BootsSimple, easy to wear, and comfortable, the chukka boot is a menswear style staple but is especially welcome in a Fall wardrobe.04:55 Chelsea BootsBeing a particularly sleek and stylish item, the Chelsea boot is unique in its ability to cross the realms of formal and casual attire. Of course, depending on the exact details.06:35 Balmoral Boots The absolute must-have boot if you’re a classic style enthusiast! With its origins in the 19th Century, the Balmoral boot was actually the everyday footwear choice for men.08:10 Derby BootsIf you love the look of a Balmoral and want something to complement it for those in-between days, go for a Derby boot. Granted, this term might seem similar to that of a chukka boot, as this style is also somewhat broadly defined.09:20 Jodhpur Boots A slightly more unique style of boot but certainly no less stylish! It is similar to a Chelsea boot. Boasting a simple, elegant design but instead of an elastic gusset to hold your foot in, you’ll find a buckle and strap.10:54 ConclusionWhatever stage you’re at in your Fall boot collection, we hope you’ve enjoyed our suggestions for the essential styles. Are any of these boots new to you? Or are you a Fall boot fanatic? We’d love to hear from you in the comments!11:05 Outfit Rundown

Granted, there are absolutely times where denim is the right choice for your going-out attire but there’s no denying that a pair of jeans have become the universal choice when it comes to a multitude of events.01:11 Early History of DenimThere’s no denying that a pair of jeans have become the universal choice when it comes to a multitude of events where they were actually closer to overalls than the standard jeans models we’re used to seeing today.For a decent portion of denim’s history, jeans were worn solely for manual labour and wouldn’t have ever been seen outside of these settings.02:30 Counter-Culture and CasualizationFast forward to around the 1960s and 70s. As much as these decades hold a few painful fashion memories, it’s worth noting that not everyone dressed like they were an extra on the set of an Austin Powers movie. As the counter-culture movement of the 60s and 70s said “to heck with tasteful suits," you can see how jeans were first used as a way to stick it to the man but then became fashionable items themselves in the wild trends that dominated the mid-20th Century.04:15 Comfort-First ThinkingFor many, the 1980s was all about excess, exaggeration, and being incredibly bold. While people eschewed the flamboyant stylings of the previous decades for a return to classically inspired clothing for business, it’s the element of what you did when you weren’t at work that really boomed in this decade.06:37 Where Things Stand TodaySince the 90s, we’ve been seeing a resurgence of chasing trends. Throughout the 90s and 00s, and up to today, what jeans look like has fluctuated both greatly and frequently. What’s safe to say is that jeans have soared in popularity since the new millennium.With pretty much any style of denim pants becoming a-okay for any given situation and it’s easy to see the reason why, as jeans have become luxury items in their own right. Overly expensive jeans aren’t the only reason they’re considered fancy nowadays, though. There’s another 80s trend that’s contributed to the dressing down of the 21st Century – Athleisure.09:32 Is There Hope For The Future?Well, there are two things that give us hope that sartorial standards can be maintained moving forward: → Choosing Quality Denim. As suits and ties are being worn less nowadays, you may be interested in developing a passion for denim that is specifically designed with tailoring in mind.→ Classic IS Comfortable! Comfort isn’t just based on how soft of luxurious something feels. Wearing clothing that’s appropriate for the occasion is guaranteed to make you feel comfortable internally. Well-fitting clothes in quality materials will feel just as comfortable as jeans or even athleisure.11:08 What's Our Verdict?Dress codes do still exist, and they do still matter but, the appropriateness of jeans has increased with the dawn of athleisure. Don’t be afraid to stretch a little further up the formality scale, too!11:55 Outfit Rundown

How does one determine a reasonable price point? And what determines the differences between cheap and expensive fountain pens?01:51 The Nib The nib is a vitally important part of any fountain pen. The nib conveys ink onto the paper through capillary action, by which a liquid is propelled through the interaction between surface tension and adhesion.Overall, nib size has an obvious aesthetic impact, but flexibility also impacts your ability to have lines of varying width. And nibs will also impact how favorably and cleanly the ink is spread onto the paper.06:22 The FeedThe feed connects the nib to the ink reservoir. This is what allows ink to flow freely through the nib when it’s in contact with paper, but prevents ink from spilling out when you’re not using the pen. Basically, the ink flows into these channels through the capillary action that we mentioned previously.When ink is flowing onto the paper, air from outside the pen is allowed to flow upward along the feed, bringing ink down from Ink storage.When it comes to feeds then, construction is ultimately more important than material. A well-made plastic feed will function well enough for most writers’ needs, but an Ebonite feed represents a noticeable step up in quality that will definitely improve your writing experience.09:23 The BodyThe body of the pen is essentially just a container that holds all the components that actually make the pen function. Obviously, the body considerably impacts the appeal and aesthetics of the pen itself, but it also impacts the functionality of writing when it comes to balance and weight of the pen.14:00 The Filling MechanismThere are multiple ways to get ink into a pen, many of which come down to preference and personal taste. Ultimately then, the filling mechanism is most important as it pertains to your convenience. Investing in a more expensive system will usually make the process easier for you and will also spare you the unpleasant cleanup associated with cheap and leaky pens.16:50 The InkIn a nutshell, cheap inks are kept cheap by cutting corners. Pigmentation is low, leading to runny, bland, and semi-transparent colors; cheap ink is poorly manufactured, so it can be sticky or prone to smudge on the page; and cheap ink will dry hard inside the pen, potentially gumming up the worksExpensive inks, on the other hand, will flow easily and lay neatly on the page; have good color fastness and endurance so they won’t fade with time, and come in various unique and memorable colors. Some of our favorite colors include rusty brown, sky blue, and dark green.18:05 ConclusionNow that you’ve learned the differences between cheap and expensive fountain pens, you’ll have the knowledge to determine which price point is best for you.18:37 Outfit Rundown

The shape of the uppers dictates the overall style of the shoe as well as the comfort. 00:58 Necessary ToolsIn order to create the uppers, we actually need quite a few tools; the most important ones, according to Amara, are really sharp knives. Sometimes they look like an X-Acto knife without the extensional blade. 02:24 Pattern MakingShe needs a pencil for notation and a clear ruler. She also utilizes division makers or spacers to ensure that distances are kept and that everything looks neat in a final product. You also see a paddle or a honing strip to keep the knives sharp. Then, there are a number of plastic templates – also known as “French curves” – which make it easier to create a pleasing line on the patterns on the leather. 08:35 Designing Pattern and Broguing DetailsYou create a pattern first. How much time you actually spend discussing the individual pattern depends on the complexity of your design and your ideas.14:53 Pattering the Tongue & Lace HolesWith this process, Amara helped me to keep track of the different angles, designs, and cutouts, so we could make sure the shoe overall was consistent.16:40 Constructing the PatternTime to make the patterns that would allow Amara to cut it on leather. Amara cut off the tape from the last just like with a trial shoe, and then, she applied a paper backing to it to prevent any type of distortion. She cut the edges to help everything lay nice and flat. Amara pricked guide points in the pattern that allowed her to always easily line them up.20:45 Paterring the Lining Leather & Structural SupportA structural support leather in a shoe is typically not something you find in most ready-to-wear shoes except more higher-end ones like Edward Green, for example.22:40 Crafting the Tongue Two methods. First, she could make it as a separate piece and then, later, stitch it in, or she could cut it out as one piece with the rest of the section. 23:14 Cutting the Leather - ClickingTime to cut the leather. Historically, it has been called “clicking” because there’s a clicking sound the knife makes when it leaves the leather after cutting it. In the more modern times, you may also hear a click sound of the presses when they put pressure on the die, and it hits the leather.26:13 How the Leather is CutAmara split the hide down the center because she said you should never cut a piece of upper across that center line. It stretched in a different way and that, overall, it wouldn’t be good for the final product.28:42 Selecting & Cutting the Lining LeathersNow it’s time for the lining, then we need the structural pieces, and then it all has to be assembled. 31:37 ConclusionI think having witnessed the entire process, I have a much higher appreciation for the level of detail and craftsmanship that goes into such a shoe. Because the lining doesn’t really show on the outside, you don’t need the ultimate precision needed for the upper leathers. There’s also more excess that is then later trimmed off.Overall, making and cutting the linings is quicker than the uppers by a long shot. So, now that the leathers are cut, they must be sewn together.

Of course, the terms themselves aren’t related specifically to clothing and could be linked to pretty much anything.00:50 What Do These Terms Mean?When it comes to menswear, minimalism is all about reducing things. This can be done quite literally by having a minimal amount of clothes. Minimalism can also be done by virtue of the individual styling of an item of clothing. Minimalism applies to how the outfit itself is put together.While maximalism is all about big and bold! That can apply directly to the item of clothing itself. Maximalism also takes into account the volume in an outfit and texture.02:39 Minimalism & Maximalism ProsPerhaps the biggest benefit of minimalism is how easy it is to get dressed not just conceptually, but practically too. It is also great if you have little in the way of physical wardrobe space. Finally, minimalism can be very stylish and timeless when done well.Maximalism gives you the ability to create stunning outfits that will captivate others. It also allows you to indulge in many different areas of craftsmanship and provides you with more overall choice.05:00 Minimalism & Maximalism ConsYou need to invest to do minimalism well. By virtue of the fact that you’ll have fewer patterns and features going on in a minimalist outfit, it will be immediately obvious if your clothes are of poor quality. As well as investing money, you’ll also have to invest more time in clothes maintenance. Unfortunately, minimalism can also look dated if done badly. Finally, dressing in a minimalist style may make others think that you don’t care about your appearance, or even that you look “dull”.For maximalism, getting dressed can take a while! It can also be expensive. Another unfortunate part of the maximalist style is that people may think you’re overdressed. And it’s easy to do maximalism wrong.08:33 How To Do It Well: Minimalism (Everyday)09:35 Minimalism (Cold Weather)10:32 Minimalism (Hot Weather)11:00 Maximalism (Everyday)11:40 Maximalism (Cold Weather)12:15 Maximalism (Hot Weather)Whether you feel you’re more closely aligned to minimalism or maximalism as a style, our hope is that we’ve made the case for both of these modes of dress. Typically, the golden age of classic style that we love so much at the Gentleman’s Gazette is more rooted in maximalism but you can still achieve minimalist style within the realm of classic style.13:10 Outfit Rundown

Polka dots might not be as common today as they were in the past but they are a versatile and visually interesting pattern with an impressive pedigree in Classic Menswear that can complement casual and formal outfits.01:18 Defining Polka DotsPolka dots are any array of circles often, but not always, of the same size arranged in a regular or irregular pattern. Many dot patterns in menswear can be considered subtypes of polka dots: → Pin Dots→ Micro Dots→ Macro Dots02:45 History of Polka DotsDotted patterns were fairly uncommon for most of sartorial history. Because hand-sewing dots was a time and labor-intensive process and dots and spots were associated with skin diseases like the bubonic plague or leprosy. Today, polka dots are often seen in more casual menswear articles. Polka dots also pop up in other settings for outfits that are intended to be dramatic and eye-catching. And of course, devotees of Classic Style have never forsaken polka dots. And in certain circles, polka dots are almost as common today as during the Golden Age of Menswear.07:11 Considerations: 1. Dot Size08:12 2. Dot Density08:42 3. Dot Pattern09:09 4. Dot ColorYou can see that calculating overall formality requires taking into consideration every aspect of your polka dots. So, use your best judgment and the rules discussed to determine the overall formality of a polka-dotted article.11:05 General Tips for Wearing Polka DotsThe beauty of polka-dotted accessories is how they lend themselves to numerous two- and three-color combinations. When wearing polka dots, be mindful of the Pattern scaling theory.12:15 Wearing Polka Dots Casually14:30 Wearing Polka Dots FormallyWe hope that this video hasn’t left you seeing spots but has instead led you to see polka dots in a new light.

We’re certainly not the first people to group these watch brands together and we probably won’t be the last either!00:59 Heuer’s Early HistoryThe company began as Uhrenmanufaktur* Heuer AG, and was founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in St-Imier, Switzerland. What many people don’t know is what the name actually stands for: "Techniques d'Avant Garde" with the founder's surname thus giving us “TAG Heuer”.03:49 Heuer At The RacesHeuer chronographs boomed in popularity from the 1950s to the 1970s as the choice of watches among automobile racers, whether professional or amateurs. Heuer was the very first Swiss watchmaker in space, flying into orbit with John Glenn when he piloted the Mercury-Atlas 6 spacecraft. This was the first US crewed space flight to orbit the earth and the watch came into orbit as a wrist-mounted pocket watch.05:44 Filling The MarketOne thing Heuer’s history shows us is that they are very keen on innovation. Following the introduction of the Monaco in 1969, Heuer introduced the Chronosplit in 1975. This was a digital chronograph with dual LED and LCD displays with later versions featuring two LCD displays.07:17 The Digital AgeThe dawn of readily available smart technology in the mid-to-late-2000s caused an inevitable panic among luxury watchmakers. Always on the move, TAG Heuer announced the launch of their first smartwatch in 2015 named “TAG Heuer Connected”. The watch runs on the Android Wear operating system used by many smartwatch brands. And also offers its own app, which principally offers several custom TAG Heuer watch faces. These include: → Three-Hand→ Chronograph→ GMT→ Themed→ and Ambassador08:20 What's in a Name? (TAG Heuer vs. Heuer)You might have noticed an inconsistency in the name. As TAG Heuer hasn’t always been known as, well, TAG Heuer! Companies with growth on the horizon rarely stay solely owned by one family and TAG Heuer is no exception to this.09:17 So: Awesome or Average?When you look at TAG Heuer’s history, it’s absolutely clear that this is a company that is passionate about innovation. Take the introduction of dive watches in 1978. It’s abundantly clear that this was Heuer’s attempt to corner a piece of the market that Rolex had already monopolized.Whether you’re already a fan of TAG Heuer or just being introduced to them in this video, there’s no denying the company’s impressive history. So what are your thoughts on TAG Heuer, as a company, or purely for their watches?11:03 Outfit Rundown

When it comes to jeans, it seems like the gulf in prices between cheap and expensive could not be greater.00:55 Denim Definitions & Price ParametersWe understand that cheap and expensive are relative terms. What’s cheap for a dedicated denim-head who invests in quality could be considered expensive for someone else. Consider that “cheap” and “expensive” include nuances of quality. Finally, the average price for jeans can vary dramatically according to where you live in the world.02:25 Comparing FabricBy definition, jeans are made from denim, fabric made from sturdy cotton that is twill-woven with a distinctive diagonal pattern from the twill-weave. Denim has been around since the 17th century but jeans, as we know them today, really came to prominence in the second half of the 19th century. As a workman’s fabric, denim was valued for its durability and strength but as jeans have increasingly become a fashion icon even getting paired with sport coats, additional qualities, like softness, unique texture and drape have become more important.05:42 Comparing CareIt’s usually no surprise that many menswear items require specialized care and cleaning routines but some people are surprised to hear that they might need to handle their jeans with kid gloves. But how you care for your jeans can have a massive impact on their quality which is exacerbated by the initial price of the jeans.07:46 Comparing Construction & FeaturesAlong with fabric, the cost of manufacturing jeans represents one of the biggest capital investments. And construction methods can vary greatly between cheap and expensive jeans.Construction also plays a major role in both functional and aesthetic features. For jeans, one of the most important features will be pockets.10:25 Comparing FitJeans are also cut to fit certain styles. To ensure general appeal, cheaper jeans are usually available only in mid or low-rise. The popular perception is that these rises are more comfortable and appealing. Even though, when properly sized and fitted, higher-rise jeans, like high-waisted trousers in general, are ideal for most men.12:08 Our General ConclusionsCheap jeans tend to produce an inferior wearing experience. Low-quality fabric and construction are uncomfortable and unappealing. And cheap jeans tend to be perhaps a little too rough.Expensive jeans, on the other hand, offer a unique and exceptional wearing experience. That really highlights the sartorial potential of jeans but at an increased cost, not only money but also time and attention for adequate care and maintenance. Ultimately, the right jeans for you will depend on why you want the jeans.13:22 Outfit Rundown

And even after this dominance waned, the region was still known for its exceptional fabrics and craftsmanship. This history of, and devotion to, clothing excellence became a sartorial legacy that heavily impacted Italian style.04:53 Italy and the Modern Fashion IndustryAfter World War II, the Italian people began the process of rebuilding their country. Clothing production would play a considerable role in this revival because Italy could leverage a massive clothing-production industry.The rise of the great Italian fashion houses saw historic Italian style put on display to the world to rival even the influence of the Roman Empire. And the Italian appreciation for quality materials and personal flair quickly became a selling point for a gargantuan industry. Being home to so many fashion industries certainly helped Italians gain a reputation for their style.8:19 Hollywood & Midcentury Consumer Demand11:37 Contemporary Italian StyleThe Neapolitan Suit, With ts unpadded natural shoulders, roping detailing, patch pockets, and a very trim silhouette is simply the most famous and distinctive of Italian suit styles.Nearly every region of Italy has its own distinctive clothing styles that reflect the local realities of climate, culture, and class. Prominent examples include the → Roman Style, which follows the general form of a Neapolitan suit but with more sedate detailing→ Milanese Style, with its strong, extended shoulder → Florentine Style, which combines the breadth of a Milanese suit with a rounded silhouette16:13 ConclusionIt would have been very easy to build this video around stereotypes about Italian men. But we’ve found looking beyond the stereotypes far more enlightening. Ultimately, the exceptionalism of Italian style cannot be attributed to that famous Italian confidence alone.17:20 Outfit Rundown

Smaller beards could also be stylish. Large beards were reserved for older gentlemen and a clean-shaven face was prized for a youthful appearance.07:44 ShirtsShirts came in an array of different colors and patterns. Starched collars were very popular. Winged and standing collars were worn alongside rounded club collars and squared-off collars.09:32 TiesNeckties were much shorter as waistcoats were cut higher. Stick pins were worn in ties to keep them in place, and to add a bit of sparkle to the ensemble.10:39 Odd Jackets & SuitsIn the 1900s the morning coat started to take over from the frock coat, but younger men were stepping away from these varying jacket types. The lounge jacket was quickly gaining popularity.14:11 Waistcoats or VestsThey are more commonly single-breasted and had 5 buttons. Detachable buttons and double-breasted waistcoats were also popular.14:56 TrousersThe 1900s saw narrow ‘drainpipe’ trousers as the norm. Trousers typically had fishtails at the back and were worn with suspenders. However, this was the decade when American tailoring began to use belt loops.16:14 Shoes & BootsThere was so much choice when it came to boots. You’d also find some low-cut shoes. Shoes like the Oxford became popular in this era as they were more casual.18:40 OvercoatsIt’s a misconception that only single-breasted jackets were worn, as double-breasted coats were very popular at the time. Fur shawl collars and velvet collars were a common sight.20:31 AccessoriesPocket watches, with elaborate chains and fobs, would show a man’s class, sophistication & style. Walking sticks and canes were used. The common cufflink style was a solid gold or silver chain link. Men could be found wearing a variety of eyewear.21:55 Occasional WearWell-to-do gentlemen would have owned much larger wardrobes with clothing intended for specific purposes such as evening wear or sporting clothes.23:33 Outfit Rundown

If you’re anything like us at the Gentleman’s Gazette, I’m sure you could spend hours pouring over all these beautiful luxury watches. The problem is, most of them cost so much that time is the only thing we can spend on them!00:52 What Does “Affordable” Mean?We all have different budgetary concerns when it comes to buying a wristwatch but the desire to own an iconic luxury watch can be incredibly powerful. For the majority of us, investing in luxury watches is a welcome daydream but not likely to materialize into actually owning one.We want to cater to different levels of what you guys can and can’t afford. And just in case you were wondering, we’re not just going to say “buy a replica” as we certainly don’t condone buying fake watches! As many fakes out there hover around the price points we’ll be looking at today, you’ll be far better served by investing in a genuine watch.02:07 Watch #1: Rolex Submariner→ Oris Sixty Five - MSRP $1500 - $2,000→ Seiko Prospex Diver - MSRP $300 -$500→ Baltic Aquascaphe - MSRP $60004:02 Watch #2: Cartier Tank→ Longines Dolce Vita - MSRP $1700→ Seiko SUP880 - MSRP $110→ Rotary Cambridge - MSRP $260→ Maurice Lacroix Reserve de Marche - MSRP $250006:02 Watch #3: Omega Speedmaster→ Bulova Lunar Pilot - MSRP $300 - $600→ Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch07:24 Watch #4: Patek Phillipe Calatrava→ Nomos Ludwig 33 (Ref 242) - MSRP $1500→ Baltic MR01 - MSRP $600→ Seiko Presage Cocktail - MSRP $300 - $500→ Timex Marlin - MSRP $180 $25009:30 Watch #5: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak→ Maurice Lacroix Aikon (Quartz) - MSRP $2000→ Tissot PRX - MSRP $400 $600→ Rotary Regent - MSRP $50010:35 Watch #6: JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon→ Frederique Constant Classics Moonphase Quartz - MSRP $1200→ Orient Star RA-AS0102S - MSRP $300→ Henry London Richmond - MSRP $100The world of watches is something that's constantly evolving and changing so the prices that we quote might not always be perfect but we did our very best.

Some make several, some just one, and some don’t make any at all. ut all serve the same function: help ensure good fit and comfort for the customer avoiding having to do a redo of the shoe for the shoemaker as that is expensive. It’s important to note that one or more trail shoes don’t guarantee a good fit.02:14 What's a Trial Shoe?Despite best efforts when taking measurements and last making, it is rare for a bespoke shoemaker to make everything perfectly right the first time. A trial shoe is an inexpensive version of the final shoe.05:05 How It's Made: Step #1: Double-checking the last07:09 Step #2: Making the pattern from the last09:43 Step #3: Using the patterns to cut the leather10:32 Step #4: Sewing the pieces together11:02 Step #5: Assembling the trial shoeThe trial shoes are done! Again, keep in mind that there's no outsole on there. Other shoemakers may glue one on. There's no real heal while other shoemakers may do that. But there's no one recipe.15:04 Testing the Trial ShoeAmara takes note of the areas that are obviously too loose or too tight and she actually draws onto the leather so she knows where she has to make changes on the last. We need to test it so we can figure out the imperfections and where we have to improve things. In order to do that, we have to pull out the last from the shoe. After all, we have to get the last out of the way if we get to try these on.20:39 Second Trial ShoeAmara changed things on the last and made a new trial shoe that was still on the last. Immediately they felt better than the first time around. When I tried these shoes, it was summer outside it was really hot and humid so my feet were swollen to different degrees at different points in time so that's also something you need to keep in mind. In the morning, typically, your feet are less swollen than if you sit all day in a hot humid environment.After all, your shoes should always fit you no matter what time of day or the surrounding conditions. I still felt some pressure on the little toe and so Amara marked it and the pressure points in my right foot. 22:17 "Third" Trial Shoe Amara reused the same uppers to save time. The changes weren't dramatic and drastic so the overall impact of reusing the uppers wasn't that big and I was fine with it. Overall, the shoe was really nice and felt really good. The only thing that I wanted to change was a bit of looseness in the heel but Amara said that in the final shoe, it would be different and tighter. Why? Because it would have a heel counter and that would help with it.23:07 ConclusionThe most important part of the trial shoe process is being clear and honest about what feels good and what feels bad. Shoemaker will guide you with particular questions but only you can say what you’re really feeling.A shoemaker's ultimate goal is ensuring you get the right fit and actively and honestly engaging in the trial shoe process will help him or her achieve this goal.

Nowadays, belts are by far the most popular option. But how did this come about? 01:07 Terminology: Belts & GirdlesA belt is a band or strap used to support clothing or carry instruments while a band or strap worn around the waist and used to keep garments closed or cinched, rather than supported, is technically called a girdle.A girdle now refers almost exclusively to an undergarment intended to shape and support the midsection and thighs.02:26 Early History of BeltsArchaeological evidence for both articles is ubiquitous throughout the Bronze Age and it is likely that belts and girdles are almost as old as the clothes themselves. In the epics of the Greek poet Homer, set around 1200 BC, both girdles and belts are described and were also worn by the Ancient Romans.03:17 Medieval and Early-Modern Belts During the European Middle Ages, the blending of multiple cultures produced new fashions in which both belts and girdles were worn with trousers, tunics, and robes. Still, as before, belts were most often associated with utilitarian functions and stored tools and instruments.04:34 Suspenders Become SupremeIn the early 19th century, London haberdasher Albert Thurston is credited with inventing suspenders. Suspenders held the trousers in place by literally suspending them from the shoulders attached by ties or buttons to the trouser waist. They immediately became popular because at this time clothing manufacturing had entered the Industrial Revolution.For the rest of the 19th century and into the 20th century, suspenders stayed supreme, supplanting belts as the primary means of keeping one’s trousers up. But belts did not disappear. They persisted as a practical accessory.08:09 20th Century Ascendancy of Belts By the early days of the 20th century, the mutual wearing of belts and suspenders slowly fell out of favor. Belts, which were easy to take on and off and could help hold tools became regular wear in manual labor settings. While suspenders were worn at most other times.10:47 Why Men Started: 1. Casualization of Clothing11:37 2. Manufacturers' Choices12:19 3. Perceived Convenience12:47 4. Popular PerceptionHaving worked our way through over 5000 years of history we can now summarize why belts are so popular today.14:40 Why Do Men Wear Belts Today?: 1. Utility16:12 2. Comfort17:16 3. Displays of Wealth18:37 4. StyleWe hope that today’s episode has explained why men started wearing belts and shed some light on why they remain so popular to this day.20:53 Outfit Rundown

It should come as no surprise that the world we live in today is far more casual than it used to be. While there are undoubtedly items of clothing that remain timeless regardless of the decade, there’s no denying that history has shown us many victims of fashions, too.00:50 What Is a Dress Sneaker?Simply put, the term “sneaker” is far too broad and there are different types of sneaker styles under the umbrella term. A dress sneaker is a cross between athletic shoes and the more formal dress shoe.01:42 What Makes Them Smart?If we take a deeper look at a pair of these shoes, you’ll start to see why they’re called “dress” sneakers. They have: → a comparatively slim sole→ flat laces in a horizontal bar style→ they are typically constructed from finer materials that are associated with dress shoes→ and they possess an elegant last shape04:29 Do they fit into a classic wardrobe?As a Gentleman’s Gazette viewer, I’m going to hazard a guess that you have a healthy love of classic style, just like us. The point is, for many years, sneakers and classic style haven’t mixed well at all. So, I get how it can be difficult to consider a pair of dress sneakers for your wardrobe.07:12 Death of The Dress Shoe?The dress sneaker is looking to be a fairly big player on the menswear scene. The important thing to remember is that style evolves over time. A perfect example of how style evolves is the black cap toe Oxford shoe. 08:28 Timeless or Trend?In this case, we feel pretty strongly that they have big potential to be timeless rather than a trend. Of course, there are going to be those who don’t feel those dress sneakers are an appropriate addition to the realm of classic style. And that’s okay, we’re all allowed to have our likes and dislikes! The rise in popularity of dress sneakers looks to be following an established pattern of success.10:02 Outfit Rundown

But are their factory-made shoes actually worth $1,250 -$1,750 per pair?01:00 Edward Green Shoe HistoryNorthampton is a town in England’s East Midlands region with a long history of leatherworking and shoemaking. Edward Green, at the age of just 12 years old, joined the industry as an apprentice clicker.Throughout his training in cutting out the various components that make a pair of shoes, he learned a great deal about how to look for quality in not only the finished goods but also in the materials that make them. As he grew more skilled in his role, Green realized there was a growing space in the market for shoes of a higher quality. Driven by an ambition to make a class of footwear higher than that on the market, Edward Green established his own workshop in 1890.05:05 Edward Green TodayAlthough Edward Green no longer possesses a bespoke program, the company still focuses on quality, not quantity. With a smaller output, the theory is Edward Green allows more time per pair of shoes thus, hopefully resulting in a higher quality product.05:37 MaterialsEdward Green takes pride in stating they select fine European calf leathers.06:39 Construction DetailsThe shoes are hand-clicked. The shoe is closed, or stitched together, by machine and then the uppers are attached to the last by a combination of machine and hand techniques. The majority of the shoes are Goodyear Welted. Edward Green uses a cork filler before the outsole goes on. The welts and closed channel soles are machine stitched. Edward Green pays close attention to the look of their soles. The color is achieved through pigments and polish applied by hand.14:20 LastsThroughout the range, there is a distinct preference for understated, classic designs with no fussy detailing. Edward Green has had different last shapes throughout the years. But a few remain as the brand’s lasts of choice: → The soft chisel toed 888→ The almond toed 82→ The round-toed 202→ And somewhere in the middle is 184, Edward Green’s loafer last16:24 Styles: → Chelsea - £965 / $1285→ A penny loafer style called Piccadilly - £965 / $1285→ A split toe derby named Dover - £1200 / $1600→ And a derby boot that has been in production since the 1930s known as Galway - £1215 / $161018:00 Pros & Cons21:32 So, Is It Worth It?Overall, I would conclude that with the quality of materials used, the level of workmanship at this price point, the selection of different sizes but most of all, the classic nature of the shoe’s designs, Make Edward Green shoes is worth it, if they are on a steep discount sale only.23:26 Outfit Rundown

Even the word “silk” has become a byword for decadence and excellence.01:30 The History of SilkThe oldest evidence of silk production dates back to the Yangshao culture of Neolithic China. According to popular stories, the pseudo-mythological Chinese empress Leizu (Lay-zoo) invented sericulture, a fancy word for the cultivation of silkworms for the production of silk.Through the centuries, silk production in China was standardized. For centuries, China held a virtual monopoly on silk production which was spread across the globe via an important network of trade routes known as the Silk Road.05:21 Modern Silk Production10:26 Grading Silk14:50 Making Silk Products What started with a tray of mulberry leaves and a pile of silkworms ends with a gorgeous silk fabric that is ready to be turned into any number of luxury menswear items: → Neckwear→ Scarves→ Pocket Squares → Suits, Sport Coats, & Shirts→ Socks17:32 Pros & Cons of SilkUpsides: → Possessing a unique and immediately recognizable gloss. → An extremely soft hand that is lustrous and smooth without feeling overly slick or slippery.→ Thermoregulating properties that naturally circulate air for a cooling effect.Downsides: → While it doesn’t tear easily, silk has poor elasticity → Silk is also easily marred→ The modern ubiquity of satin polyester and its ability to approximate the look of silk.19:24 So, why is silk so expensive?1. It must be harvested from animals that require care and feeding. In a process that is time and resource-intensive. 2. It must be specially woven and prepared from a limited supply of raw materials. 3. And it must be assembled into a final product that requires special workmanship to ensure no mistakes and minimal waste.20:12 Outfit Rundown

It is modeled after the human foot, not an exact copy. For a ready-to-wear-made factory shoe, typically, the lasts are made out of plastic. It also comes in many different sizes, so you can just make the shoes.It’s important to keep in mind that different shoemakers can make lasts in very different ways. We’ll take a look at how Amara Hark Weber did her last and see what we can learn about lasts from her.02:42 Sourcing the Last Materials First of all, you have to source the last material. Typically, it’s made of wood, but what kind of wood depends on the companies you work with. A last has to be a sturdy thing. Why? Well, it’ll get wet, see nails, get hammered on, get sanded, and it just has to stand the test of time. It’s very important for a last to maintain its shape. Otherwise, the final shoe will be compromised. 04:12 Modifying a Blank LastAmara uses blanks because it’s much more cost-efficient. She used to buy a vintage shoe last, would modify them, then have new base lasts made based on the desired look she wanted.08:29 Shaving Down a Built-Up LastAfter the leather has dried, it has to be cut and then shaved off to be part of the last. Typically, there are two ways to do that. One is to use a rasp and shave it down by hand, the other is to use a machine. I’m sure your shoemaker will have their own preference. Amara prefers the machine because it is faster and always very precise for her. Specifically, Amara uses a finishing machine that has a grinder with sandpaper on it.11:37 Getting to WorkOnce everything is in place, it’s time to start shaping the last and the leather on the finishing machine. The main job here is to get the last to a point where the fit is good. She constantly uses her measurements, the pedograph, and her notes to see if what she’s doing aligns with the foot. She can take all the sensitivities, your bones, your sensitive areas into consideration that way. Also, if you have a slim and bony foot, she may make different decisions on the last design as if you have more of a fleshy foot.As she continues to work, Amara makes it look very easy, but it requires a lot of concentration and experience, and skill. Amara largely taught herself last making, so it’s a mix of intuition, trial and error, and influx from other shoemakers and last makers.Amara paid particular attention to the joint and the shape and rise of the arch. She does that because those are some of the most important for comfort and fit. Frankly, she was double checking, triple checking, and it took quite a while, but she just wanted to get it 100% right.16:13 After Creating The Lasts, Shoemaking BeginsOnce the last is done, the shoemaking process can start; except some shoemakers start with a trial shoe, others work right away on the real thing. Of course, there are pros and cons to both.

During his time, Brummell was a genuine tastemaker whose views on menswear dictated fashion and whose style would resonate for years to come.01:50 Beau Brummell’s Early YearsIn keeping with our belief that a gentleman is made by the choices of his life and not the circumstances of his birth, we should note that Beau Brummell was not of aristocratic birth. Thanks to hard work and useful connections the Brummell family enjoyed a solidly middle-class lifestyle.04:19 The Military and George IV05:55 Brummell in London08:10 Style AnalysisWhat he did in the early 19th century still informs the consensus of what good taste looks like in menswear. His clothes represented an understated elegance including a disdain for anything “over the top.” He also established a limited range of appropriate colors and the color theory for combining them effectively through contrast, something we still do when we pair blue and gray or brown and blue. In later generations, Brummell’s look would evolve into the suit and tie but, more directly, into the sport coat and pants combination, since he preferred not to match his coat with his trousers. The emphasis on neckwear as the ornamental center of attention in a tailored outfit remains with us via the necktie or bow tie. Brummell’s choice of contrasting black and white as he changed from day into evening wear remains the black-tie dress code today. Yet it is perhaps formal morning dress, particularly a morning coat and separate colored trousers with a light-colored vest, that most closely evokes the Regency attire Brummell actually wore.13:59 Brummell the "Troll"15:01 Brummell's Last Days & Legacy16:58 Outfit Rundown

It’s very easy to brand those who love watches a watch nerd. A big part of what draws people to this complex world of watches is the watchers’ complications. 01:38 What Are Watch Complications?Watchmaking is inherently complicated. Before human beings were able to tell the time on their wrist, time was usually displayed publicly in a town square or on a large clock. These public displays of time made sense because the clocks were run with weights and counterweights, which you couldn’t keep on your wrist or in your pocket.03:15 1. Date Complication05:11 2. Dual Time Zone Complication06:45 3. Chronograph Complication08:47 4. Moonphase Complication09:55 BONUS: Tourbillon ComplicationAt the end of the day, whether your watch has several complications or none, just know that there’s a sheer variety out there, and there is definitely a complication for you. See, that wasn’t so complicated!11:31 Outfit Rundown

During our past live streams, we got a lot of comments and requests to show off some of our very first custom-made clothing pieces. And we thought it was a great idea!00:45 What Type of “Custom” is the Suit?It’s a (Type of custom) suit from Oxxford. We’ve previously discussed the word “custom” is an umbrella term. So I want to be completely clear with you in saying that it’s not a readily available off-the-rack suit.02:50 Suit Jacket Details: Navy Blue, Single-Breasted, Two ButtonsI ordered it in early 2012 directly at the factory. At the time, Oxxford was advertising on our website. I had a contact and she invited me to come to Oxxford and get measured for a suit. Of course, I happily obliged and went there; got the full factory tour. And the hat cutter, whose name I can’t recall anymore, took my measurements.06:28 Suit Trouser Details: Pleated, Cuffed, Side Adjusters09:46 What I Would Have Done DifferentlyAt the time, I had really high expectations for bespoke because, after all, it was the holy grail. You could decide on anything, and the garment would always promise a superior fit.13:33 Overall ThoughtsOverall, it’s not as soft as my jackets by Isaia, for example, and it’s a combination of the coarser fabric and a stiffer interlining. But, for a suit like this, which is a bit more formal, I think it strikes the exact right balance.Do I wear the suit a lot? Unfortunately, not a whole lot. The pants get a lot more use than the jacket, but simply because there are fit issues.15:14 ConclusionSo, that’s my very first custom suit experience. Didn’t turn out that great after all. You might wonder, “How is that possible?” and “If you spend all that money and the first suit doesn’t turn out that well, why would you even try to go for it?”Well, in reality, your first bespoke garment or bespoke shoe is rarely the best, typically, there’s always room for improvement, but you can still wear and enjoy it.15:57 Outfit Rundown

But since 2006, flip-flop sales have eclipsed even sneaker sales in North America. So whether you consider them tops or consider them flops, flip-flops have clearly flipped the script when it comes to casual shoes.01:00 Early History of Flip FlopsIn actuality, sandals, the proto-flip-flops, are one of the oldest shoe types. A cache of woven fiber sandals found in Oregon's Fort Rock Cave could be about 10,000 years old. And some truly fantastic sandals could be found in Ancient Egypt.02:23 Flip Flops in the 20th Century06:10 Flip Flops in the 21st Century08:02 Why Men Wear Flip Flops: 1. Holiday Culture08:50 2. Beach Culture09:24 3. Societal Casualization10:00 4. A Focus on Comfort10:40 5. The Heroic PhysiqueThese social movements were helped by the fact that, as mentioned, manufacturers intentionally marketed the flip-flop for everyday wear. So between organic desire and a little prepackaged push, it’s not hard to see how flip-flops got such a strong foothold in menswear.11:44 Is There A Place For Flip Flops In Classic Style?When it comes to Classic Style, we do feel that flip-flops have a place. That place just happens to be at the beach or the pool. If you are cultivating a classic look, we feel that there aren’t many other circumstances that will allow for flip-flops.12:57 Outfit Rundown

Well, think about it this way: the more research you do beforehand, the more things you can point out that you like and dislike, the easier, more fluid, and quicker the entire speaking process will be.05:52 Tell Your Shoemaker About Your VisionMost shoemakers want an idea of what they want to talk about, so they don’t forget about anything.11:32 Listen and Let Your Shoemaker Guide YouI learned quite a bit in those conversations, so be all ears, listen to your shoemaker, and let them guide you. They know what they’re doing. Heels are another important topic in bespoke shoemaking, and they actually take quite a bit of time if you build them up by hand.13:09 Negotiate On Your Special RequestsYou also want to mention any special requests. For example, someone may not like any metal in their shoes, so instead of a metal shank, you have to use a wooden shank; instead of metal nails, you have to use wooden pegs.15:30 Have An Open ConversationMost shoemakers will also have a base way to do things if it’s not specified by the customer. If there’s a contradiction between something that you want or something that you read and a shoemaker and their ability, just discuss it, and bring it up.21:34 Know Your OptionsWhat did we ultimately decide on? You have to stay tuned for the final product reveal. Once you’ve talked about all the individual details, it’s time to look at them in conjunction and bring it all together. 26:37 End Your Meeting WellEventually, once you’ve discussed all the details or you’re simply exhausted, your first bespeaking meeting will come to an end. At this point, your shoemaker will have a very good idea of what it is that you want, they will be able to start on the last, and order the leather.

Is Cutting Out the Middle Man Just Marketing Hype?

It refers to a sales model in which a producer sells products directly to consumers. 00:58 Touching on Transparency When examining any claim about cost-benefit, it is essential that you have access to all of the information. How can you determine if you’re getting a good deal by “cutting out the middleman” unless you know exactly how much money is being saved?03:00 You’re Not Told What You Really Need To KnowMany direct-to-consumer companies dedicate webpage after webpage explaining to you why this model is so great. But the amount of money you’re “saving” without the “middle man” is immaterial if the product isn’t excellent.04:12 Buyer BewareThis emphasis on a direct-to-consumer model might seem relatively benign. But from a practical perspective, exaggerating the benefits of any sales model is a hook.The fact of the matter is, being on guard against hooks is very tricky. You can defend against them by carefully examining the quality of goods and studying reviews to determine if you’re actually getting a good deal.06:10 Direct-To-Consumer Isn’t Just for Your BenefitAs part of their advertising, many direct-to-consumer companies will give the impression that they’re doing you some kind of favor. Emphasizing what a benefit it is for you.06:51 There are Downsides to Direct-To-ConsumerYou can see that Direct-To-Consumer models tend to paint a very rosy picture of themselves but this model often introduces many inconveniences. You have to wait weeks or even months to receive your product. You can’t try on products in stores. And you have to rely on the company to keep you informed.08:02 “Becoming the Middleman”As online retail has exploded in the past decades, more and more conventional companies, like Nike, have utilized online sales to benefit their companies. But those products still need to be advertised, stored, and shipped.In a traditional retail model, obligations like liability, supply chain management, storage, and shipping are handled at scale by wholesalers or dedicated retailers.09:25 Responsibly Navigating Direct-To-Consumer Marketing So, are we concluding that direct-to-consumer companies should be avoided at all costs? NO! As a sales model, direct-to-consumer marketing is a perfectly viable system that can benefit everyone. Provided that manufacturers take the necessary steps to establish a robust supply chain, streamlined sales process, and exceptional customer service and consumers understand and accept the cost-benefit diametric of a direct-to-consumer sales model.10:40 Conclusion Ultimately, cutting out the middleman has its advantages and disadvantages, just like any sales model. In many cases, the obligations of the middleman have to be assumed by someone. Overall, there’s nothing wrong with the direct-to-consumer sales model but there is something suspicious about companies that use it as their primary selling point.11:00 Outfit Rundown

Why? As we’ve previously discussed, we feel that black is the most overrated color in menswear, not because we don’t like black, but because black in modern menswear is often employed in boring and uncreative ways.02:40 Black Shirt Pros: 1. Black is refined03:07 2. Black is versatile03:34 3. Black is modern04:13 4. Black is vintage04:40 Black Shirt Cons: 1. Black is hard to maintain05:24 2. Black shirts are easily marred05:49 3. Black shirts are hard to combine06:39 4. Matching all elements of black is hard07:19 5. Black is everywhereNow that we’ve considered the pros and cons, let's look at some tips so you can incorporate one with some classic style.07:52 Styling Tips: Consider Contrast and ComplementColors that work with black: → Salmon → Most shades of light to medium gray → Earthy greens → Cool or blues → Most shades of light to medium brown → And shades of white, including Off-Whites08:38 Find the Subtle Sweet-SpotIf you’re not one for bold color combinations, it is possible to pair black shirts with similar dark colors. Ensure there’s sufficient contrast to keep the outfit from appearing like several mismatched shades of black.09:02 Pick a Punchy Pattern or Atypical TextureA great way to ensure that your black shirt stands out from the rest of your ensemble is with a bold pattern or obvious texture.09:45 Keep It CasualReserving your black shirt for obviously casual occasions will ensure that it doesn’t force your outfit into the weird middle-ground of casual-but-also-formal.10:52 Toss the Tie Neckwear rarely works well with black shirts. They either blend in too much or stand out with too much pop. Neckwear and black shirts are almost exclusively seen as parts of strict monochromatic looks.11:30 Follow Formality A black dress shirt is often worn as part of a Black Tie Ensemble. For occasions that call for Black Tie, you shouldn’t be wearing a black dress shirt. It just isn’t part of the established dress code. For Black Tie adjacent dress codes like Alternative Black Tie or Creative Black Tie, you could technically wear this look.12:02 ConclusionIn most cases, a black shirt is a missed opportunity to instead take advantage of all the great colors you could be wearing. But every now and then a black shirt can be an interesting change.12:20 Outfit Rundown

Part one is all about taking measurements of the foot so the final result will be something that is comfortable and looks the part.00:29 What Makes Bespoke Shoes Special?Why spend thousands of dollars on a pair of bespoke shoes when you can also get a high-end pair of men’s shoes from a factory?First of all, you get a custom fit that is unrivaled. Secondly, you can choose the exact details and styling that you would likely not get in a factory shoe. Last but not least, you invest in longevity because a bespoke shoe can be resold over and over again, thus bringing the cost-per-wear down considerably.02:25 Amara Hark Weber: Our Commissioned ShoemakerAmara Hark Weber from St Paul, Minnesota. Amara is not just a fabulous shoemaker, but also an artist and an educator. And I consider myself really lucky to have someone like her in my backyard because it’s anything but normal to have a bespoke shoemaker close by in the US.04:15 Bespoke Shoe Fit“Why do measurements matter if I know my shoe size and my shoes off-the-rack fit me perfectly well?”Chances are you’ve probably never felt the bespoke fit of a shoe before because, at the end of the day, we’re all humans and no two feet are a hundred percent identical. You may think they’re the same size but, if you look closer, they’re definitely not. Also, a standard size from one manufacturer will be very different from the standard size from another. And, sometimes, even within the same company, different lasts have vastly different sizes.06:09 5 Steps in Measuring: 1. Sitting for the Fitting08:35 2. Time to Trace09:36 3. Getting a Measure of Things13:17 4. Searching for Sensitivities14:35 5. Using a PedographAgain, different shoemakers may have different measurements; maybe they want to figure out the exact height of your toe-ball area so they can get it really close to your foot. And different makers just have different ways of doing things.If you’re interested in even more detail and you want to see the full measurement process, become a patron and you can see this very special full video. Otherwise, episode two is all about bespeaking or designing a pair of bespoke shoes.

This change is all the more dramatic because of the position once held by the tie.01:00 Ties in (Recent) HistoryIt was originally associated primarily with Croatian mercenaries in the 17th century and evolved from a “Croat” into a “cravat” and by the 20th century into the tie as we know it today.02:45 Contributing Factors: 1. Restrictive Dress Codes04:08 2. The Cultural Revolution of the 1960s06:01 3. The Rise of Business Casual07:20 4. An Increasingly Casual World09:10 5. Tie Fashion Trends12:47 6. Popular And Media Perception of the Tie TodayOverall, it can be said that nowadays, men, in general, dress specifically for themselves and not for others with whom they are sharing the time or occasion.15:44 Our Take on TiesWe’d like to conclude by saying that the purpose of this video is not to bemoan the decline of tie-wearing. We endorse that men should dress for themselves but, as with most things, there are limits.If you love Classic Style, ties will undoubtedly spark excitement as one way to express yourself. Of course, there are circumstances when a tie should really be worn as a matter of respect for the occasion.17:24 ConclusionIt should come as no surprise that we think ties are remarkably versatile and supremely creative ways to accent your outfits. Adding color and texture as a personal expression that will make you feel confident and creative, not confined and constricted.18:05 Outfit Rundown

These shoes are intrinsically bad or people who wear them are poorly dressed. It only means that they aren’t indicative of the classic style. As always, wear what you want. But, if what you want is classic style, then we think our opinions will be helpful to you.00:58 1. Squishy-soled Shoes02:11 2. Sock-sneakers03:08 3. Frankenshoes04:18 4. Crocs05:45 5. Slides06:49 6.

You even see people with T-shirts saying, “By order of the Peaky Blinders” these days. Other than graphic tees, it has influenced menswear with the resurgence of 20s-style silhouettes. 03:21 Who Were The Real Peaky Blinders?There was actually a gang called “Peaky Blinders” in the Birmingham of the 1880s until the late 19-teens. They were known for vandalism, burglaries, mugging, and street fighting. Eventually, they conquered rival gangs and became involved with underground casinos, sports betting, and protection rackets.05:00 Historical Context & Period AccuracyThe 1920s, especially the latter part of it, were a transitional period for menswear. In the early part of the decade, pants or trousers were much slimmer; everything was more inspired by body coats.Towards the end and into the early 30s, things changed – the drape cut was invented, everything was fuller, and, later on, even pleats appeared. Also, shirt collars changed dramatically; whereas before, your detachable collars that were washed and started separately from the shirt, the Americans really favored softer attached collars that were much more comfortable to wear.06:10 Peaky Blinders Outfits: 1.

The fabrics were accurate, the cuts were often period accurate, and they also paid attention to the accessories like suspender buttons and the suspenders. Maybe the overcoats weren’t quite long enough at times, but still much longer than in many other period shows.If you want the original old experience, Vintagebursche has a really great video about that.youtube.com/watch?v=cnDhe_heYvUIf you want the modern take on it, we have something on our website. https://gentl.mn/peaky-blinders-style32:20 Outfit Rundown

From the outside, cordovan leather does look a little different from other types of leather: it’s particularly smooth and lustrous and possesses a rich color.01:05 What Is Cordovan Leather?Also known, as “Shell Cordovan”, is derived from the hindquarters of horsehide. The “shell” refers to the specific part of the hide once it has been split horizontally to remove the grain. Meanwhile, the name “cordovan” derives from the Spanish city of Córdoba, and means “from Córdoba”. Thus, together the terms refer to this specific type of horse leather.02:15 History of Cordovan LeatherLeather has been produced and used since around 2200 BC, however, the first documented use of horse leather was in 7th century Spain. Later, in the 16th and 17th centuries, skilled craftsmen would craft ornately decorated horse leather goods. The Spanish city of Córdoba has remained a highly reputed area for leather tanning ever since. Even today, you can find artisans in Córdoba who maintain these traditions. Because of its qualities, beauty, and durability, cordovan leather was sought after by Spanish Royalty.06:12 Cordovan ProductionThe tanning of cordovan is very complex and labor-intensive. Six months and more than a hundred processes are required to produce a useable hide. Tanning is a process that does two basic things: First, it stops the natural decomposition process, and second, tanning develops the desired characteristics of the leather.08:50 Characteristics of Shell Cordovan→ Lustrous Shine→ Tough Stuff → No Cracks Here→ Distinctive Tones14:48 Downsides of Cordovan Leather→ Longer Break-In→ Challenging Upkeep→ Casual by Nature19:45 So, Why Is It So Expensive?In a nutshell, the high price of cordovan comes down to the low supply of hides, the high demand for them, and the long, complicated tanning process. Unlike cattle, horses are only raised as part of the food chain in a few places around the world, meaning the supply of horsehides is small and unlikely to grow. As we’ve already seen, tanning alone takes 6 months and a great deal of handwork. Any labor-intensive process will drive the price up at the tanning stage21:33 ConclusionOverall, Cordovan leather is a truly unique, intriguing material with a luster that goes deeper than its natural shine. Even with its lofty asking price, cordovan that is well looked after will endure the test of time exceptionally well and will be a joy to behold each time you wear it. 22:07 Outfit Rundown

Elegant designs and timeless styling are much too jarring in these situations and won’t create a harmonious look. Instead, choose a watch that has practicality at the center of its design. Sports watches that boast features such as water resistance are right at home in casual scenarios.02:30 Smart Casual/Semi-Casual/EverydayClothes in this category may very well overlap with your casual pieces, but the trick with the everyday dress code is being able to incorporate clothes of a slightly higher formality too. The watches from our previous casual category would also feel right at home here.04:35 Business CasualThings are now at a point where those super casual watches should now be left on the dresser. This dress code still allows for those smart strap choices to be seen but this time around you can start to add more refined leather.Whichever strap you choose, the focus for watches in this category should be streamlining the face and features.05:55 BusinessThe watches you choose for this formality are certainly on the dressy side. While some of the watches we just spoke about for business casual will still be absolutely fine here, there are some details you want to take care of.07:09 Formal WearIt may surprise you to hear that the answer is: No watch should be worn here. Traditionally, wearing a watch with your evening wear is considered poor etiquette. Having a timepiece displayed on your wrist or on a pocket watch chain gives the impression that you’re not fully invested in where you are. As black tie rules are a little more forgiving than white tie, it is acceptable to add a timepiece to your black-tie ensemble. Assuming you’re following the classic styles of black tie outfits, this watch needs to be equally elegant.09:23 Outfit Rundown
