The Gstaad Guy sits down with Tom Chamberlin, Editor-in-Chief of The Rake magazine and author of Huntsman: Redefining Savile Row, to explore what it truly means to be a gentleman in today’s world. With deep roots in men’s style, tailoring, and the traditions of Savile Row, Tom brings a perspective that bridges timeless elegance with modern masculinity.
The conversation delves into the role of confidence in style, the artistry of tailoring, and how the codes of classic menswear remain relevant in shaping identity and character. Tom reflects on the evolution of masculinity, the values that define gentlemanly conduct, and why refinement goes far beyond clothing. An honest look at how style, substance, and self-assurance intertwine in the pursuit of modern elegance.
