00:00 Style & Combine an Overcoat Introduction
So, basically you just put on your overcoat and you go, right? Not quite! An overcoat is an integral part of a classic gentleman's wardrobe but it requires a little bit of thought about your outfit.
00:45 So how should you choose an overcoat for your outfit?
As a core principle, it should ideally contrast other elements in your wardrobe. So if you have lots of dark elements in your wardrobe such as gloves, hats or pants; I suggest you go with a light overcoat. Vice versa, if you have lighter accessories and pants, a darker overcoat is better because you always want it to contrast. If you have lots of solids in your wardrobe you can either go with a solid overcoat or with a patterned overcoat. If you go for a solid I suggest to go with an interesting texture, maybe a tweed, maybe a bold weave in a solid color because that makes just all the more useful because you can combine it with different shades of colors but also more interesting and it provides a certain amount of contrast from your otherwise solid pants.
02:19 So how do you style certain overcoat colors?
First, let's talk about navy because I think a navy overcoat is perfect as the first overcoat in your collection because you can wear it with formal outfits. You can wear it in the evening as well as informal outfits if you choose the right texture of the fabric.
So let's say you don't wear suits to the office. A great first overcoat would be one in a solid tan color such as the one I'm wearing here right now or in a different color. In terms of color, they go with any winter color and in general with almost any color out there.
Now, apart from solid overcoats some of the most popular ones out there are herringbone overcoats. Herringbone is a very classic menswear pattern. It's timeless but for overcoats, you want to make sure that it's over-scaled and large, unlike with suits or sport coats where it can be smaller.
If you're more at home in a traditional white-collar environment you want to invest in an overcoat that's either gray or charcoal or something that combines all those colors.
09:16 Now, how do you style bolder colored overcoats?
First of all let me say I don't think it's a wise idea to invest in a really bold overcoat in yellow, red or maybe green early on because it's just a very narrow field where you can wear it and the cost per wear will be quite high. It's also quite a statement piece and because of that, I think it's only suited to someone who really knows what they're doing and who has an advance closets where all the basics are already covered.
Now overcoats are not cheap and most men have just one or two. In order to not keep it boring and to create different looks, I suggest really pay attention to your accessories.

Thank you very much for not shouting & yelling, something every other channel does nowadays.
The herringbone donegal tweed overcoat is superb!
Thank you
As a child i did Alpha m..
Since i am a grown man i go with Gentleman’s Gazette.
That is the way.
So true
Alpha and gazette are on the different ends of the spectrum. Real men real style is somewhere in the middle. I personally watch all 3 and have taken advices from all of them.
иван дечев that makes a few of us then...
That goes for me as well.
The Military Inspired Overcoat at 4:51 is a stunner!!!!!
Great video, I was waiting for something like this. However, I live in Finland and the winter is so cold that one must absolutely cover their ears outside. Wearing a fedora or a paperboy hat is not an option. I'd like your opinion on what would be an alternative to a beanie.
Hallo Raphael, kannst du mal ein Video "How to style and combine a safari jacket" machen?
I love this guy so much!
Some recomendations about coat brands? Please
Nice weather out there
How does one keep his pants and shoes from getting wet when walking in snow, rain, sleet, etc?
Summary: Wax them and don't "kick" the snow lift your feat
Tip 1:The way i do it I every 1-6 week depending on the weather apply genrosly with wax before going to bed and brushing the acces wax that wasn't absorbed by the shoe of in the morning
Tip 2: when walking in snow make sure you lift your foot over the snow to prevent snow build up on the shoe because snow doesn't get your feet wet, snow stuck to your shoe that melt from the het of you foot wet you feet
Tip 3: when you get to a part with sallower snow tap the tip of the shoe on the ground to get of the snow bulid up
Great video
Mr. Schneider, please do a show or series on style for the gentleman who lives in a hot or tropical climate. If you could cover everything - clothes, shoes and accessories it would be great. Must ties be always worn? What sort of jackets? I think it would be an interesting endeavour. Thanks.
Can you make another overcoat video please I love them
Wonderful video, your overcoat videos have really helped my time in the colder regions, I have to ask, what is your theme music? Was it written custom for you or could I find it somewhere else?
Can you recommend a place to get some good quality overcoats?
Recommend any current brands for overcoats for winter? I know you favor vintage as they aren't made like they used to :)
Great video. Kudos to whoever was your camera person for the shooting of this video! I am envious of your coat collection. Any thoughts on a loden coat, which I have seen online and in some specialty shops?
Thank you very much for all your videos Raphael. I'm a big fan of your channel. I was wandering if one day you could do a video about 'How to store your garments'? Once again thank you for your channel
yes, we will put it on the to do list
Thank you very much :)
What would someone recommend for a dark green trench coat?
This question is off topic. For the last week I've watched perhaps 20 of your videos for the purpose of gaining insight/direction in shopping for my sons-in-law and grandson (almost 8 years old). I need to select a tie to complement a Black Watch Tartan dress shirt which I bought at Christmas for one of my sons-in-law - it'll be a birthday present for him. Should I stick with a solid color tie? I was looking at your Fort Belvedere silk knit ties and thought a medium blue or green would suit his casual style; he wears a uniform at work (pilot) and has no need of nor interest in dressing as dapper gentleman. I'd like him to have options for church, though, and I'd appreciate your guidance.
In depth wardrobe tour???
We're in the process of having a new closet built. When it's done I think about it ;)
@@gentlemansgazette Sooo, are still thinkin about this closet tour? That would be extremly interesting
Had to put the closet on ice as it would have been heavier than a truck...
@@gentlemansgazette Yes, you are right, sorry if I bothered you
Hi Sven. What is your opinion if the buttonhole on the lapel of a vintage 1930s overcoat is sewn shut? I'm considering purchasing one online but I do not want it if it is shoddily made. Thanks in advance!
How does the color of the hatband influence the combination? If the hat is dark and the band light, should the gloves and scarves match the band or the rest of the hat?
Do you ever talk about males french beret? And if you can style ?
Come to Brazil! SPFW! Give us a speech! I love your channel. Congratulations, sir! Thank you very much indeed for teaching me a lot of amazing style techniques with a soft elegance. And love!
I will once we are done having babies, my wife insists...
Brazil is a wonderful country full of happiness and joy. You will gonna love it. I sugest Lençóis Maranhenses. It is a paradise. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len%C3%A7%C3%B3is_Maranhenses_National_Park
I am half Brazilian, half a Brazilan passport and have been there 6 or 7 times ;)
Fantastic! : )
How do you tie a scarf like that?
Is interesting I can't seem to find a video on what does a gentleman use to keep his ears covered and warm on a -20 Celsius cold day/night, and keep the ears intact and unfrozen, without ultimately having them fall off after spending 8 our work day at such cold weather. the thing is I have to attend formal occasions even though the weather is really cold, which are usually held outside.
Wonderful video, i really would do almost anything to have a collection of coats as yours. There's a question i'd like to ask though, is it raccomandable to wear a peacoat or a trenchcoat over a jacket? I usually use them without one, should i try?
Both works
I liked the video. My only problem was this: "it's not something elegant men would've worn 100 years ago. Stylish men back then and today would wear different colors". These statements are difficult to prove. And also seeing as though gloves are a more minor part of a man's wardrobe, a man who chooses not to pay much attention to his gloves can still be very stylish in my opinion.
Absolutely love that flat cap!!!! Where can I find one????
Search and you shall find! www.gentlemansgazette.com/flat-cap-newsboy-hat/?
Yeah I could use a flat cap or two now.
Where can you find warm overcoats? I live in finland and I've found that most overcoats aren't warm enough to keep you warm when the temperature drops below -10°c
pikkuhakki2 have exactly the same problem
I been looking for a new overcoat this year and the choices I seen in all the shops have been plain awful. We had way too skinny lapels, sewn in bibs, ultra short coats, and for the most part rather thin wool. It been quite disappointing. Hopefully next year they will return to a more classic style that doesn't look like the geeky picked on brother of the late 80s fashion.
I think you’ve got to line it with fur which needs to be kept refrigerated and is hard to care for or I’m told Cashmere the last time i enquired on Savile Row! Sheepskin is probably the best option imho.
What would you recommend to wear over a morning suit? I don't find tailcoats very insulating but I think overcoats somewhat spoil the elegant look of the top hat and tailcoat.
James Rice you could wear a black or dark navy overcoat with peaked lapels, a hidden button front, and a velvet or astrakhan collar
Thanks
A black or charcoal gray paletot or chesterfield coat.
Sven, what headdress would you suggest to wear with a formal overcoat if it’s -20°C outside? Fedora and flat cap doesn’t close the ears, so it’s not suitable.
It all depends on how long you stay outside. It gets colder than -20°C where I live and dropping off my daughter at daycare by foot doesn't require me to get anything other than a fedora or a flat cap. A beanie would keep you warmer, but I do not like the look. Fur or ear muffs, you have to figure out what works for you.
Make sure you are getting a thick felt fedora and not one of those cheapy ones. Also you can combine it with earmuffs that go around the back of your head instead of over. There are even fedoras that have ear protection built in.
Fur hats are practical, warm, and classy. I prefer muskrat, but have seen other furs in various colours and hat styles that look great and keep you warm.
Should an overcoat be worn over a trenchcoat?
My coat is bespoke and as much as I love it my style has changed a lot since I got it made. I'm probably going for something more bold this time... something like an Inverness coat. Yes, I'm that type of person.
I am 13 yrs old and i'm starting out on formal wear I have my first chesterfield coat and I would like to know if I should wear a scarf with the coat or just shirt and tie? usually the weather is mild here.
Skip the scarf , a sleek tie and maybe a nice burgundy colored vest if you can find one and you will look dapper then 99 % of your peers. You're way ahead of the race so you do not want to look TOO formal or it will look odd on such a young person.
Same 14 here... Ik they look super dapper and classy，but u sure ur really gonna wear them into schools where ppl dress up with underwear shown？XDD (no rascism)，its just abit too normal for schools...
It seems like you feel the need to push you rgloves tighter onto your hands in almost every second shot - are they a little too big?
Not at all, it just looks weird if I just hold up gloves.
Gentleman's Gazette Ah ok. Are there any plans to release the touchscreen gloves in other colours?
wow

0:41 Always carry something to wipe your runny nose. Gloves are used to protect the hands.
Hi Gentleman Gazette, I am a guy who wears only Navy blue suits and white shirts and i'd like to bring layers to it as follows;
1. which color for overcoat can i pair look more dressy and length ?
2. I do not like 3 piece suits made from the same colour and fabric but i like having a weist-coat in a different color, which color can i pair ?
3.what about if include a sweater/ pull-over, which color ?
Remember all the above outfits are for business wear
May I ask how tall you are Rafael?
Eli Freeland He said once he’s tall... not sure his measurement though
I would like to see a video about black tie, smokings... Thank you.
Search and you shall find ;) www.gentlemansgazette.com/black-tie-tuxedo-guide/?
Thank you!
are you from Germany? I feel like you are from Germany.
He's german and brazilian
But finally you mean that you should contrast your coat with the rest of your outfit?
Therefore let's say you are wearing a navy blue suit , then can you wear a navy blue coat or you should opt for a camel ? Just to give an example
Van you acsept Mo you frend pliz😗
Great video
how in the hell was this comment from a month ago?
