Building a classic menswear collection is an ongoing journey and today, Preston walks you through his wardrobe and shows you the purchases he built it with over the years.
00:00 Introduction
By walking you through Preston's wardrobe as it currently stands, you’ll get some insight into how he made purchasing decisions over the years, what he likes and dislikes about his options, and what gaps he hopes to fill in the future.
Preston’s Closet Tour
02:04 Jackets
03:52 Full Suits
Wardrobe Gaps
As far as gaps in this part of Preston's wardrobe are concerned, he would like to add some more full suits to his collection - single and double-breasted styles, two-piece and three-piece, probably some incorporating more patterns. Most of his suits are solids, so, he would like to add some of those, perhaps a medium gray suit that fits well would be one that he would like to acquire.
05:47 Shirts
08:07 Short-Sleeved Shirts
09:05 Polo Shirts
10:27 Trousers
12:47 Sleepwear
13:59 Shorts and Undershirts
14:34 Casual Trousers
14:48 Sweaters
16:07 Large Hall Closet
19:22 Formal Wear
21:16 Other Pieces
22:59 Shoes
Additional Wardrobe Gaps
Preston would also like to get a few other overcoats in the future, and as mentioned, more odd jacket styles, which were also covered earlier. But with that said, that basically covers Preston's whole wardrobe as it stands currently.
29:54 Conclusion
As Preston alluded to with the pieces from Hawes and Curtis, his wardrobe does continue to change and evolve over time which, in essence, is one of the broader themes of this video.
So, whether you’re just starting out on your sartorial journey or you’ve got a well-stocked collection that you know like the back of your hand, chances are that there’s always room for at least one new piece or for a new combination of pieces that you hadn’t considered before.
And if it’s been a while since you’ve done a thorough evaluation of your own wardrobe like Preston did today’s, we’d suggest that you do so. You may find garments that you’d like to toss, repair, or donate or you might just come up with some new ideas for how to put your wardrobe elements together.
