Welcome to the inaugural episode of our new series, "Off the Cuff!" Let us know in the comments what you think of this more laid-back, conversational, dare we say "podcast-style" content, and if you've got suggestions for how it can be improved in future installments! - Preston

I had a great time talking with Antonio and Raphael, I hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

This is like the Avengers of menswear. Gentlemen, unite!

All 3 of my favorite gentleman's style personalities have come together.

I love this! This is the SINCERE group of menswear influencers. Antonio has been consistent throughout the years, not screaming into the camera, but TEACHING!

I am 45 and I think it’s safe to say gen Z objectively has it harder than my generation and older generations. I began my career in the early 2000s and it was still possible to secure a stable working class or middle-class job with great benefits, decent pay and good job security. You could save up, buy a home with a modest down payment, start a family and do that whole American dream thing. The great recession in the late 2000s is really where that dream started to collapse, and It’s pretty much gone now for the vast majority of folks starting their careers today. The idea that any kid with enough ambition and an iPhone can start a successful social media business is like saying any high school basketball player can bank on joining the NBA when he graduates. Statistically, it just doesn’t happen for most people, despite their efforts. My nephew is 26 years old and has to work two jobs just to afford rent that he splits with three other guys. The cost of living is insane out there

Gentlemen like this makes generational difference means nothing. Practically timeless

Ask anyone from Gen X, they would not trade their childhood for any generation. It really was a time that will never be replicated.

when Gent Z mentioned Loro Piana as a defining brand i feel like he was totally off, it was merely dictated by recency bias. the culture that was very defining in Gen Z was hypebeast fashion and social media fashion styles

Wearing a suit in 2024 is more rebellious than wearing torn jeans and T-Shirt in 1969.

GEN X looks very healthy and young. Way to represent!! 🚀🚀

Genuinely started watching each 3 of these channels at the same time some months ago and I got so hyped seeing them all in the same video let alone room!

Wow. Not only was this one of the most insightful and enjoyable videos on this channel, but one of the best discussions I’ve heard overall in a long while. I think anytime we start coming together and talking with one another instead of bickering with one another from afar, we become better as a society. I loved the inner generational dialogue, gents!

The chemistry in this video is off the charts, you guys should definitely consider collaborating again in future videos.

2:04 Antonio is telling about the 1980s “power suits” and big shoulder styles. To illustrate his words the authors decided to show examples of Brooks Brothers drawings, representing the exact opposite of “power suits and big shoulders”.

I think discussion is an excellent example of how broad the tent can be on our approach to individual style

The awkward nodding after „commando“ is worth the whole video.

Loved this! Great trio!

Great collaboration, guys! I'm a fan of all your channels.

Hello Gentlemen’s Gazette! I have to say that I am amazed and absolutely love this channel, at the time of me writing this comment, I am 15 years old and I have always loved the vintage style of classic menswear. I had just started to make my own ensembles a few weeks ago and just finished assembling my white tie ensemble. Raphael I must say, you really helped me A LOT to elevate my style and I truly feel happy and like myself dressing this way. Thank you so much for everything and this channel! Love you guys! -Johnathan 👋🏽

I am intrigued by seeing these guys side by side. From left to right: retro, pseudo-Italian, British. At least that is the aesthetic I am seeing. I enjoyed they discussion and have learned something from each participant.

This is one of the most inclusive and thoughtful (and of course, useful) discussions on how style evolves and varies. I love this.

I loved this conversation and I would love to have this as an ongoing podcast that focuses on more specific topics that you all can dive deeper into based on your viewpoints of the generation. I have to thank all of you, as you have inspired me over the several years of following RMRS and GG to try and dress better, take care of myself better, and be more of a gentleman.

This was a most enjoyable watch/listen.

I enjoy these collaborations

The big 3 of menswear. This is the vid I've been anticipating. Well done guys

All 3 of you are Legends for gentleman's styles. This is wonderful that you decided to talk about intergenerational styles.

Incredible to see such distinguished gentlemen gathered together! This video exudes class, excellence and expertise.

Great conversation … 🙏 thank you

Great conversation, fellas. I loved it.

Day 1 of delicately suggesting to Gent Z to shave cleanly!

5:20 that was really beautiful said about how style has become more unisex ! I personally like a masculine look but I also like Woamn who dress more masculine but also than again I look at some men who wear more feminine stuff and use Make up . That sometimes looks awesome as well … with fragrances I think we reached a point where gender truly doesn’t matter anymore Especially in the niche market … wear what you want ! At the end it’s a scent … a scent doesn’t have a gender you like it ? Wear it

If you could've added another generation with Hugo Jacomet this would've been perfect. Also, man I know it was a joke but the idea of going commando in a suit... no, can't even.

Amazing! It was highly informative to watch and to get three different perspectives on style evolution.

The holy trinity of menswear! Been watching each of these guys for years, great to see all my favourite menswear stylists coming together to debate and discuss a topic that has influenced my fashion choices and personal style.

woah! so great to see antonio here!

Antonio, the natural raconteur. Raphael, the consumate mediator. James, the respectful investigator. Halfway through and this is an utter joy. I think we are witnessing history, my friends! I think I shall write a piece on this. Kudos gentlemen, and bon chance in our new world.

The team up we needed but didn’t deserve 👊🏽

Another comment, this one on jeans - man that’s so true. My wife is 36, so right in the millennial age range, and wears only skinny jeans. My daughter is 12, hates skinny jeans, only wears baggy jeans.

I watch all 3 of your channels and you're all great.

Antonio’s personal sense of style is always so spot on for me. Maybe because I’m about the same age?

when i was at school the language/slang we'd use would make a modern man blush! but what we meant was not the original meaning of the word. usually it meant 'that's rubbish!' or 'i completed that with flying colours'. i miss that aspect of those days, it was maybe 15 years ago. how much things can change in that time...

The Style Debate, I didn't know I needed, until now.

Thank you for sharing this fascinating conversation. It is true that the broadening social mores and infinite options of our time make classic style one option among many--a personal decision or choice. It is also true that the intention to dress well necessarily has a relational and social aspect. The intention to dress well is both a sign of respect for the dignity of those around us, and a sign of self-respect. It is also a way to honor important communal occasions, like weddings, funerals, baptisms, birthdays, and so forth. It is also a way to honor loved ones who have gone before us, who taught us how to dress well.

Gent Z never fails to post unparalleled content.

This is a colaboration that I never expected but I'm supper happy to see. Maybe, next up should be a boomer or a silent generation member describing his own generation's style and what he thinks of youngsters dressing up.

Where's the debate? There weren't any arguments or something being made. A wonderful discussion that was very fun to listen to, but for sure not a debate

Great video! I totally agree that you can age people based on what they wear. Great Grandpa born in the 20s still always wears his suspenders, even with his shorts. Grandpa born in the 40s wears wider cut jeans with sweaters and other more conservative things. My father born in the 70s wears more athletic/casual clothing when lounging, but still wears collared shirts and all that for work

Would love more episodes of this!

This was a great video!!!! Thank you!! It's interesting to see three generations talk about their definitions of style and what options each generation had. Very interesting.

Great job, gentlemen! I love that the three of you are working together. Your three of my favorite to watch, so this is like Christmas morning! Be well.

I was welcomed back to the Gentleman's Gazette... The world is healing.

As a Xennial ('83 baby), I remember the fashion of late '90s Britain being split between wigga (white guys trying to be West Coast rappers, think Ali G), the semi-skinny fit that came out of the Brit-pop subculture and the loose fit scruffy stuff of the late grunge/early emo style. The one shoe that fit across all these styles were Timberlands, the wiggas didn't lace or tuck them into their jeans, the grungers lace them medium tight and tuck them, the Brit-poppers laced tight and fully tucked them. The Brit-poppers were the only ones that didn't sack their jeans, wiggas said without a belt and grungers had the studded belt but left it loose enough to sag out jeans. Now a lot of my friends wear just basic straightcut jeans, a basic t-shirt and comfy trainers when not at work. Depending on the workplace culture, it's gonna be cotton slacks and an open collar shirt with comfy dress shoes (maybe chinos for someone who's more "fashion forward") - unless there's a workplace uniform!

Awesome convo with the boys. Enjoyed it. We need more of these

Really enjoyed the discussion. Thanks for putting it together!

Love how we got to see James speaking in a more natural environment with less of an agenda, even cracking jokes (came out of nowhere, had me laughing :)) Keep up the great work y'all

Amazing conversation!

Pleasure to watch and listen conversations like this, thanks!

Oh boy. I came for the style conversation, but the end got real.

As for glasses, I think: Gen X - B&L Ray-Ban, Oakley, Oliver Peoples Millennial - Luxottica Ray-Ban, Tart Optical, Moscot Gen Z - (not sure)

James is such a confident talker. No humming! Very excellent!

Most men i know do not think about clothes or style or colours or their appearance. They either don't bother themselves or are indeed lazy. The men who do are not common. There is also a big variation between city and country dwellers. However for women and men choice of clothing is usually about fitting in and conformity. Its great to see men taking an interest in their grooming and style.

I really enjoyed this. Why can I only like this once!?

Well done, gentlemen. Only thing missing was cigars!

Ohhh I was not expecting this... This is gonna be good.

So on point with a lot of the issues discussed

Great, thoughtful discussion that I wish was twice as long. Not going to lie though, I gasped and clutched my chest when gen z had the audacious to claim that new video games are better than old ones 😱

There are only two types of suits. Shop suits, and tailor suits. It doesn't matter who designed your shop suit, or what it cost, it's still a shop suit. So, buy cheap suits until you've saved up enough to go to a good tailor and have a real suit made for you. Or two. At work, a shop suit will do. Avoid fashion, never wear a tuxedo in church or when you have to dress properly, a tuxedo is dressing down from a suit.

My favorite three persons.

Antonio desperately wanting to impress but always cant remember where and what😂

Fashion is recycled with a touch of modern tech, themes, social influence etc. Wearing a suit and tie will never be outdated regardless of width, length, taper and shape of various garments or accessories. The only thing I don't like about today's fashion is mixing casual wear with formal wear. Smart casual used to lean more towards slightly formal, decent, but relaxed. Now people have taken a pair of joggers and paired it with a 3 piece tailored suit, like a Skysports presenter I saw today. Worse thing is he knew the camera shot would be of his whole body. Oh my days!

So many Gen X men have aged like wine. Myself included.

Interesting discussion guys. My intent was to listen to this conversation in the background while housecleaning, but it engaged me more than expected. By all means, do more of these.

Thank You for the Video 😀

I really enjoyed this video! Very interesting.

Great stuff!

Excellent collaboration of 3 experts in this field. Antonio , I was initially turned off by Unisex Tom Ford perfumes. Just the idea of it. Changed my mind after positive responses. You have to test and experiment.

The way gen z is wearing the most formal while gen x wearing the most casual suit and millennial wearing something in between in this interview is somewhat poetic.

The bros all together!!

I never dress down I wear a suit but in a fuller fit

This was so good!! I really enjoyed the conversation. I laughed out loud at James' commando joke that Raphael and Antonio didn't get! 😂

It's weird that I am technically a millennial yet I believe I am closer in age to and can relate more with James than I can with Raphael

In today's Sunday Worship Services, the dress shoe is really becoming less common. Trousers and dress pants getting replaced by Chinos also. Even the older generation of church goers are going along with this strange trend. Fortunately, I don't feel pressured to follow others. I like what I like for myself. I like my dress shoes.

Best hairline: Gen X

Wow, I had no idea Sven was a Millennial, Gentlemen's Gazette style is very mature and sophisticated. I assumed he was one of my GenXr peers like Antonio.

The Sinatra family is paid very handsomely for their association with Jack Daniels. Don’t let that fool you

In Asia depends which field you work. Finance is still formal here.... Suit and tie still .... Love it..😅😅😅😅

Very nice video thanks guys. For a future video it would be nice to get some other generations and nations or cultures aboard. Suggestions: Chaps Guide, Hugo Jacomet

Good perspectives.

Re: designers…how is it in the least bit possible to leave out Giorgio Armani? I mean…come on.

Lot of people put Millenials from '85, being borned in '84 i wouldn't describe Rapahel as a "Millenial", but I guess it works better for the title and the argument.

Personally, I don’t care for cloth manufacturers expanding to retail (Zegna; Loro Piana; etc). To quote Hugo Jacomet - if you want a shirt, go to a shirtmaker; if you want a suit, go to a tailor. Don’t go to a tailor looking for a shirt.

What an absolute treat of a video.

I love the collaboration. I follow all three channels and this was insightful .

The trinity!

Looking good James

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Realy nice talk, I can agree with a lot of what has been said and I also think "civilized" discussions are rare these days, which is sad and also a huge danger for democracy.

My fav fashion education for content 😊

Men with quality and insight! I aspire to dress well like this one day❤
